Five Killer Halloween Cocktails

[@francesca9770]

Who else noticed the super cute orange in the background in his fruit bowl

[@TheEeryTeacher]

aw yeah lol XD

[@TheBrothergreen]

7:55 "if you want to make this drink for just yourself, cut the specs in half" Ha ha. You're funny.

[@clyde2599]

That is very much a dangerous dose of alcohol. Please don't do that.

[@TheBrothergreen]

@@clyde2599 Dude, it's 6 shots. 25 shots is a good night. 6 shots is a light buzz.

[@clyde2599]

​@@TheBrothergreen 4.4 units - 3 oz Doctor Bird's Jamaican Rum 1 unit - 1.5 oz Campari 2.3 units - Lemon Hart 151 Rum 0.5 units - Maraschino Liqueur 0.4 units - Allspice Dram Total = 8.6 units or 69g of alcohol. This is pretty much considered binge drinking and increases one's risk of developing alcohol use disorder (www.alcohol.org/effects/blood-alcohol-concentration/). And from the looks of it, this isn't going to be your last drink of the week. But sure, its great to develop serious health issues, addiction, and have to pay for more alcohol than usual. Also, 25 shots (1.5 oz, 80 proof) is pretty close to an overdose.

[@TheBrothergreen]

@@clyde2599 Okay, 8.6 "units" according to a measuring system that is not in common usage. Hell, according to that webpage, a "shot" is defined as 1.5oz of hard liquor (40% abv or above), rather than 1, which is the scale I was using. The term "units of alcohol" is not present anywhere on that page. Not that it matters, because you weren't correcting me; we are both talking about the same AMOUNT of alcohol, simply measured differently. (i'm guessing because bigger numbers are scarier?) As for developing alcoholism, that's not something that occurs by chance. Any attempt to threaten me with the "odds" that I will develop alcoholism (especially based on the scant little amount you know about me) just makes you a judgy a-hole. It has no actual bearing on the real world. I stand by what I said, "8.6 units" or "14 smurfs and a gurgle" is still just a light buzz. Lighten up and have a drink.

[@blanding1018]

6 shots are just about 3 or more normal cocktails! 5 drinks for a night-out is not a health issue, at least for me...

[@spuppy852]

Frankenstein looks like a Jungle Bird + Zombie (but with allspice dram instead of falernum). Looks amazing!

[@spuppy852]

Oh also I noticed that you are using Blood Orange in one of the cocktails. They are in season now, and I urge anyone who thinks orange juice isn't a very exciting ingredient in cocktails - try Blood Orange instead! They have a much more saturated orange flavour, and really pop in all sorts of cocktails that use orange. You may have to play with specs because of the stronger flavour. Oh they also give any cocktail you make a nice red or pink colour. My wife loves the way Painkillers look with them, a nice light pink colour. Anything you make would probably be a 'variant' but IMO it's worth playing around with different fruit varietals

[@Irishringo]

There's another version of the oaxacan dead that I really love: 1.5oz Mezcal 0.5oz Apricot Liqueur 0.5oz Falernum 0.5oz Lime Juice 2 Dashes of Peychaud's 2 Dashes of Orange Bitters Serve on crushed ice in a tiki mug or old fashioned glass Garnish with a mint sprig

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

ooooh that looks great! Gonna have to try it!

[@Flarm2vids]

Garnish game successfully stepped-up

[@PrabhathJayawardena]

10/10 for the garnish of Oxacan dead!

[@peterverdon645]

Great video; glad it’s popping up in my feed now in time for Halloween.

[@keithsimmons3358]

I love how the “Bible John” has scotch as a primary ingredient and is red in color since the killer was (most likely) Scottish and rumored to have had red hair.

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

The Frankenstein is a Jungle Bird and Zombie together right?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yuuup!

[@Barprints]

Bro you had me with Oaxcan Dead! LOL Genius! 😂

[@socialswine3656]

also loving the royalty free dead kennedys in the background aha

[@frostbite4954]

11:47 things get spooky.

[@hunterboston9875]

Glad I'm not the only one lol

[@eliotclarke6243]

The Frankenstein looked like a mix of a Jungle Bird and Jet Pilot. Love the vids Leandro, keep it up mate! 😊

[@TannerJ96]

The Frankenstein seems to be a mix of the Rambler's Ruby and the Jungle Bird, no?

[@grapetonenatches186]

Thanks for teaching me what to do with my face while shaking. Its the awkward part because by that point people are intensely attentive with anticipation and you have nothing else to do but acknowledge the situation.

[@PickledMu1972]

My guess is the Frankenstein was a mix of the Navy Grog and the Jungle Bird. I am trying ALL OF THESE. Loved the video, thank you so much!!

[@cammcdougall9690]

It's 1am on a Wednesday and I thought the Bible John was a good idea.......it was 🤘🏻. Also digging having background music going

[@ArsenalAdamAce]

First one is cool, but I can't imagine making those in bulk if a lot of people order that lol

[@lxxwj]

was there supposed to be a spray of absinthe in the frankenstein's monster? i noticed you had the little atomizer thing in the shot 9:05

[@TheMatthewcota]

Frankenstein's Monster is a Jungle Bird/Zombie? Either way, it looks like I need to make some cinnamon syrup today.

[@40Kfrog]

10:45 They still make Booberry, you know. They just only sell it around Halloween. Count Chocula and Frankenberry too.

[@BigDaddysBearCave]

Spooky 👍👍🍹🍍🤙🏽😎🌴 #creepytiki great video 👍👍💀

[@jakemobberley704]

Genuinely curious: is there any aromatic contribution from pineapple fronds or are they purely decorative?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Just decorative.

[@zacharysimonson2551]

Going to try that Boo Berry one. I might try some corn silk tea with the blueberry in the syrup to really up that corn cereal flavor.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

That’s a great idea!

[@snow_poet_from_Ukraine]

Who do you make Hibiscus Marigold Syrup? Also description say that you use lime juice for Frankenstien's Monster, but you use lemon? Cocktails is amazing! Thank you.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Игорь Гудимов oh crap will add to description....sorry

[@tjf42193]

I feel like for the theming of Bible John the cocktail should be stirred 20 time clockwise 20 times counterclockwise for a total of 40 to make reference to 40 days of lent.

[@blackbeard9545]

Man that Oaxacan dead would have looked good with like a red coloured liqueur over the ice cap. Would have looked like open brains.

[@atomschmidt1]

BLACKBEARD I thought the same thing

[@feralmagick7177]

I wonder how cherry grenadine stained ice would have changed the flavor

[@jerichothirteen1134]

Take a drink everytime he says slappy pants.

[@kayleighmayfield6576]

I got drunk last time

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

lol

[@johannroux8877]

Frankenstein for two? This feels like a challenge..

[@starshot5172]

I love the dry ice kettle in the back :)

[@Barprints]

One of my favorite ways to make a cocktail more festive without messing with the ingredients. 👍

[@codyaustin2331]

What is the song in the beginning of the video? I know it from somewhere and it's driving me crazy!

[@gustavegabet3804]

Awesome apron and glassware ! Will you do an episode on Shrubs and how to incorporate them into cocktails ?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yes

[@mackenziemcnolty5492]

Perfect timing! Thank you! i needed some inspo for Halloween weekend at my bar lol

[@Barprints]

There's a few small hacks I love using around this time to make drinks more festive around this time. Dry ice, beakers, test tubes and all that. Dresses up old favorites if you're not looking to come up with new recipes. Or, compliments the occasion even if you are.

[@cbartlett]

Audio glitch at 11:45 FYI.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Colin Bartlett thanks!

[@paulgoling8357]

It sounded like I already tried 3 of these.

[@dayknowsalchemy]

Where did you get that Frankensteins monster mug!? I have one too! From Burbank Pub (do go there, if you haven't).

[@dayknowsalchemy]

Oh: also: Jungle Bird and a Jet Pilot.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

we bought it last year at tikiland trading in Anaheim.

[@dallasshatel566]

The Frankenstein is kind of a mix of a Jungle Bird and something else. The cinnamon syrup and black overproof makes me think Zombie or Jet Pilot, while the Allspice makes me think Navy Grog.

[@robert_ash]

Gonna say the frankie’s monster is taken from ancient mariner and zombie punch? Great channel and love what you guys are doing! Happy halloween!

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

Very creative... I am getting thirsty...

[@carlosorozco5446]

What size are are the snifters?

[@jewlena]

Ok...that skull cup is fire.

[@Barprints]

Tiki mug collecting is a slippery slope, but I'm here for it! 😋

[@benway23]

Thank you for your work.

[@Markogrinch]

Bro whatever u put on skull glass looks nice ahahahah

[@PatrickBurnhamTech]

Any link to those little fake flowers you used to garnish those drinks???

[@feralmagick7177]

Lol those were all real flowers xD the only fake anything he used was the little skull and the straws. Everything else was real live plants

[@elduderino672]

Hey Leandro and Marius, Can you recommend a different Jamaican rum? I can't find Doctor Bird in the UK. Great video as always. Thanks.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yeah just use Appleton signature that will do the trick!

[@elduderino672]

Thanks! I have a bottle of that in cupboard. Now I just need some sweet Tiki Mugs!

[@kingh_smarta7024]

It’s out of order in the description. You have the Boo Berry Fix as second there

[@crowgora]

Is there a link to the Frankenstein mug??

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

The Frankenstein mug is from Tiki Tiki Monster www.tikitikimonster.com/shop/tiki-tiki-monster-mugs/

[@harperlee8516]

I don't know anything about cocktails but your videos are so interesting to watch! You have some seriously hot forearms btw

[@jerichothirteen1134]

Hey I made up a drink called the applerol spritz its just a normal aperol spritz but with high quality sweet apple cider instead of champagne. Your welcomez.

[@cesararias1983]

Sangre De Los Flores flowers election is perfect. Mexican Marigold (cempasuchil) is the traditional flower for Dia de Muertos.

[@whodoesntlikechicken5334]

You’ve gained like 20,000 followers Recently. Good job man

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Probably worm.

[@moehoward21]

frankenstein is zombie and a lost lake?

[@garfieldwithissuez]

What do you mean cut the specks in half? Normally I double your recipes for myself

[@ChadWinters]

First drink: I would have to buy 5 bottles to make :( Second Drink: I have all of that ! :)

[@philbro7949]

I‘m assuming the Frankenstein is a mixture of the Zombie and Jungle Bird?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yep you got it!

[@michaelbuckwash2412]

Leandro, do you guys still have a coupon code for Surf Side Sips straws? I am thinking of ordering to up my straw game thanks to your videos!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yessir! BARFLY at checkout for 20% off

[@imgitai]

Time to study up again 🎃

[@kayleighmayfield6576]

Oh this is so cool I need to make these!!!!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Did you ever make one of them?

[@joshuagirard7008]

Leandro…we’re you bit buzz during this one? Either way, keep it up!

[@oboecoe]

For Frankenstein's Monster: Definitely the Jungle Bird and... the Pearl Diver? Or maybe the Lion's Tail?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Close!

[@Cygnus-X1]

This was so much fun! Side question, and you may have covered this before, but do you refrigerate your bitters - fruit or otherwise?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Bitters are made with high proof alcohol so no refrigeration needed, fruit juices only last 24 hours and must be kept in the fridge

[@rpbale]

Does Mescal always have a worm in it?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Nah. Most Mezcal doesn’t have a word

[@bryantdasilva6114]

Can I get a refill?

[@stephane.foisy.186]

May have been said before but in the show description the Frankenstein's Monster is missing the maraschino liqueur in the recipe and the video shows lemon juice not lime. Will be making most of these!!!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Fixed! Thanks!

[@stephane.foisy.186]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Now you can't say nobody reads the show notes 😉

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Stephane Foisy LoL that’s totally true !

[@stephane.foisy.186]

The Educated Barfly by the way the description still says lime juice for the Frankenstein but in the show it’s lemon. I can’t recreate this without knowing!!! 😂

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

It’s lemon. I messed up in the description LOL

[@rpbale]

My wife freaked when she found out what it was and won/t touch it now. I said, did you just crawl out of a cave? You should have learned about the worm 40 years ago. I'll buy some without the worm and make her happy, cause you need that smokey note.

[@StoplightRave]

Oh man that DdM mug is amazing! Looks like it's not available anymore on Muntiki though ):

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Still avail on Ebay and Etsy from reputable sellers selling for a fair price though

[@TheCooperativeOfficial]

2:10 When you say, "3/4 ounce of pebble ice.". You do mean a "scoosh" right? Cause I'm confused :D

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Just take a jigger and scoop crushed ice to the 3/4 line or in a 3/4 jigger and your done ;)

[@TheCooperativeOfficial]

@@TheEducatedBarfly but it's a scoosh or a scoshe?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

The Cooperative I guess it just depends on my where you’re from...

[@TheCooperativeOfficial]

@@TheEducatedBarfly 11:37

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

The Cooperative in Boston is Skoshe

[@jerichothirteen1134]

Jungle bird, ancient mariner?

[@bushwood1676]

Great apron

[@eddieknowsbest]

It's a jungle bird and a zombie, right?

[@scottyennis2523]

Big fan of Blood and Sands...not so much Campari....the Bible John definitely bridged a gap and gave me a use for that dusty Campari bottle

[@Barprints]

I'm always looking for reasons to dust off the Campari bottle. Besides my go to of Jungle Bird, Negroni and Enzoni. Looks like a great sip!

[@dizzygunner]

guess you could say surf side sips had a bone to pick with you.

[@surfside3616]

🤣😂🤣😂indeed

[@zion82295]

Feel like Frankenstein was a jungle bird and a mai tai mixed

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Close!

[@nilsr.1941]

Good vid🤙

[@michaeloporto5202]

This video is fkn amazing. Gonna go blow a few hundred bucks and make these.

[@barbar1an_]

Killer drinks but where is absinthe?

[@obh7762]

666th like on a Halloween video! Love the cobwebs on the bottles.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Thanks for pointing that out

[@lxxwj]

awesome vid! just fyi, in the description the recipe for Bible John says .5 oz of cherry heering, but in the video you say .25oz

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Guess i forgot the two LOL good lookin’ out!

[@socialswine3656]

damn that oaxacan dead looks so good, wish i could find any of those ingredient lmao

[@ellisfield159]

I feel as though everyone has a bottle of mello corn but me. I am still determined to get atleast 1 bottle.

jungle bird + zombie!

I enjoyed the first of it, but the background noise was too much. Please re-release for those of us with tinnitus without the background whistling. Or send a text version. Thanks!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Sorry, that cauldron was very loud.

[@lucasschneider9045]

Whoops followed the specs (for 2 people) for myself, oh well... more for me

[@Ant3915]

A bar spoon of saline cuts the bitterness of the Campari in the Bible John

[@Barprints]

That's a great tip! Think I'll test that out over the weekend. Made many a drink with campari, never thought to had salt since I was always playing to the bitterness of the Campari. Cheers👍

[@FuttFel]

Come on now, 10 ingredients for a single cocktail? I can't even make a single one of these. A real shame, because I do want to make halloween cocktails at the party I'm hosting next weekend. I'll have to look elsewhere since delivery time for custom stuff in Sweden is usually a week and a half or so.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

FuttFel to be fair the Boo berry Fix is 3 ingredients, blueberry syrup can be made at home and you can sub corn whiskey for bourbon and the Bible John is 3 ingredients as well and a of them are readily available I would think even on Sweden: Campari, Blended Scotch and Cherry Heering... not saying make the drink just saying there are a few that are easier...

[@FuttFel]

@@TheEducatedBarfly I can make the blueberry syrup, so it is possible to make it. I might try that one, altho I would have to make a very small amount of syrup since its such a niche ingredient that I've not seen in any other cocktail. As for Cherry Heering, I'm afraid that is something you have to special order, which takes about a week and a half. So it won't be here in time. I'm guessing Luxardo is not a good substitute here, because I do have that at home. (And Campari, but surprisingly not a blended Scotch. Just blended Canadian whiskies, ryes, bourbons and single malts, so I need to get myself a decent blended one soon) I intend to do a special order sometime in November, but that'll have to be for a yellow Chartreuse, some Bols mixers and a few other things which are used in a wide variety of stuff.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

FuttFel you can use a dry cherry liqueur like Marsaka or luxardo, but you have to add in a sweet component too. Not sure if you have access to Maurin quina quina? That would be a great sub too. I know that the zombie variations have tons of ingredients but I was trying to stay true to the spirit of the originals

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

FuttFel consequently I’ll be doing a yellow chartreuse episode soon :)

[@FuttFel]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Obviously, you should stay true to the originals. I'm just not sure how many of us can make the very elaborate ones. I would imagine that most of us do this at home as a hobby of sorts. With that said, sorry for whining a bit. Gotta have the unique and elaborate stuff every now and then too. The chartreuse video sounds good! Been meaning to get myself a bottle of that for some time now. I also want to get better at the tiki stuff but just the glasses alone are a bit of an investment over here. Oh well!
