4th Of July Special: Holiday on the Cape

[@joniggemeier]

One day i want to visit your beautiful country and see the Grand Canyon and Washington D.C. Also I want to say thanks to Leandro for all the awesome videos and wish you and all other Americans an awesome 4th Of July! Greetings from Germany :)

I love that you don’t just mix a drink together, taste it and say “mmm absolutely amazing”. We get like a science/history class about the drinks you make which is in fact ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Appreciate the historical shrub explanation. And here I thought it was a relatively new concept first introduced to me about 7 years ago at an interesting Colorado bar. (It has since become a fairly common bar ingredient across this fair land of ours.) At the time I asked the barkeep what the deal was with the word “shrub”. She had no idea yet she made about 10 varieties the week before.

And here was me thinking a shrub was a small bush. Thanks TEB

[@Bostonaholic]

YES! Thank you. I'm glad you also went with the shrub for some added historical context!

[@fadnama]

FINALLY a shrub!!!! I hope there will be many more! ❤️

[@samiam32]

You had a good run of not "forgetting" something broken. Love the videos! Today is my 1 year!!! I started watching with the 3 Long Island variations last year.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Happy Barfly anniversary to you!

[@nickc259]

Watching this for inspiration for this weekend, hoping you release a new 4th cocktail before the weekend!

[@elduderino672]

Leandro, I thought a shrub is a guy who thinks he's fly. Sorry couldn't resist! Great Channel, I really enjoy the videos. All the best!

[@cameronsheetsshow]

Bring me a shrubbery!

[@nickentros]

Nee!

[@Xenmas021]

Could you float some heavy cream on top instead of soda? Would that be too weird with curacao? I think it'd go good with the shrub but not sure about curacao.

[@ViolinVIBRATO]

Much love from New Hampshire! Have a Happy Fourth ❤️

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Thanks!!!

[@gaspo53]

Stunning!!! Leandro, i don’t know if you did, but speaking of good quality blue curaçao, what’s your opinion on Marie Brizard’s, compared with Giffard’s? Thanks!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

I like Marie Brizzard products although I like Giffard better. I use both

[@ConScortis]

Happy Independence Day my American friends! 🇺🇸

It’s cherry season, so I made a Cherry Shrub that turned out great. 250g of pitted fresh cherries to 250g of sugar in a food processor, purée that then strain out any solids using a nut milk bag, add the same volume of apple cider vinegar to the cherry syrup. had some Gin that I infused with Butterfly Pea Flower blossoms to make a color changing cocktail (when you add acid, like citrus juice it turns a dark purple). So I mixed the Cherry Shrub with lemon juice and added the royal blue Gin. The drink works. It’s balanced, a good strong cherry flavor with a lot of floral and botanicals. And the end result is a very pretty purple colored cocktail. I was serving it up in a frozen Coupe. I think for presentation next time I’ll serve the chilled Shrub and Lemon juice separately and have my guest pour that into the iced dark blue Gin.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Jim Fererro sounds fantastic!

[@joeri666]

I don’t want no shrubs a shrub is a drink that gets no love from me🎶

[@dannylanglois151]

Comme d'habitude très bon merci a toi l'ami!!!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Pas de problème! Merci d'avoir regardé

[@nickentros]

So did you put paper on your windows to get that nice soft white backlighting?

[@nuddelaug]

You could have tried using crushed/pebble ice on the top of the glass for the top layer to stay more white ;)

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

worth a try :)

[@yuzuu3171]

About the blue curacao: The compount called E133 it contains seems to be really unhealthy. Do you think it is possible to somehow take a regular curacao and combine it with some kind of "blue pea flower tea syrup" to make your own blue curacao?

[@GizmoFan1]

Little late, but: you can use butterfly pea blossoms on their own to do this. Let them soak in the curacao and it'll leach the color out.

[@yuzuu3171]

@@GizmoFan1 Yeah I've found about the blue blue pea flowers too. They even change the color to purple when you add lemon juice :D

[@TomRyanMKE]

The only blue curaçao available in my area is the cheap bottom shelf stuff that sells for $5 per 750ml, but high quality clear curaçao is all over the place. Couldn't I just get an extra bottle of the good clear stuff and dye it blue with food coloring, or is there something else that goes into blue curaçao?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Tom Ryan I’ve never tried it but sounds sensible. Try it and let me know what happens!

[@Dogster6]

Massachusetts represent!!

[@gaminginfinity1]

Real cool man

[@BrickFilmsCinema]

How would you think gin would hold up in this cocktail?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

BrickFilmsCinema hi would be fantastic

[@Uncleeggs1981]

I loved the video from last year, Leondro. I mean, I loved how much you hated those cocktails lol. I dont think I have seen a video since or before where you expressed such a displeasure. Perhaps a new channel "Basic Barfly Bitch Cocktails for bitches"?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

oooooh I love that idea!!!!!
