How To: Make a Maid in Cuba with Tom Walker

[@QualityProductionsNI]

Met Tom two weeks ago at Attaboy, he is actually very humble and one of the most genuine people I've met in the industry.

[@Munchies]

Conceived during his time at the Savoy Hotel, Tom's Maid in Cuba is just as English as the man himself; it's sharp, dry, refreshing, and intoxicating.

[@EarlSweatshirtSean15]

Love this guy

[@샌슨퍼시발]

That is my favorite!

[@pdrbcl]

Well now I'm thirsty

[@humza4779]

I was waiting for him to toss out that drink and start all over... you know... just so the glass has the aroma of the drink.

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Humza lol funny stuff. Had I brought better equipment, I could have used a better and less wasteful technique.

[@doloslidin5065]

Jesus Christ. Bacardi cut this guy a check for a Rum Maid with an Absinthe rinse? I need to start entering these competitions.

[@Tempest374]

Please

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Fuch ohff no checks were cut before this drink was made; and yes, it’s a rum maid with absinthe. I’ve never hidden behind that fact. If anything it’s a nod to the style of drink that emanated from New York in the early 2000s. Which I have a huge amount of respect for and take an enormous amount of influence from (after all, they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery).

[@theappe]

A Daiquiri with absinthe "aroma"... wow. I'll still give this a try, but damn i was expecting something else.. Now this might be the tastiest thing ever, but wow.

[@tomlasher-walker173]

theappe I think it’s a great drink, although it’s not particularly creative, especially in today’s cocktail world. This is more of a classically styled drink with some interesting flavors. Great thing is that it can be made in the bar or at home.

[@KingDennisJensen]

This guy reminds me of Neil Patrick Harris for some reason.

[@CHiLECHiLL456]

KingDennisJensen because he is gay lol. this cocktail sure looks good.

[@tomlasher-walker173]

KingDennisJensen I get that A LOT

[@SoulsearchingNY]

I like,Looks refreshing

[@thisisyaren]

he's in sydney though so remember that lol... not sure if lockouts around then. goodluck today people

[@jonaslundholm]

Nice drink. I'll be sure to try it. But, what do you call the type of glass the drink was served in?

[@bohnstube]

Jonas Lundholm A stemmed cocktail glass.

[@BosnaVolimte]

Jonas Lundholm [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Jonas Lundholm I’d just call it a straight up/cocktail glass. The important thing is that it needs to hold around 6oz.

[@thisisyaren]

very nice

[@user-up4vd5ov8x]

Alright homie

[@chefmike9945]

Humility. It's always nice to see someone gifted choosing to be humble. NOT this twit.

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Couldn’t agree more; definitely not the best filming I’ve done, but also not the best edited either. However, if you weren’t put off by my demeanor, please check out my new KZbin channel and website; hopefully you’ll find it’s a bit more down to earth.

[@patrickvdv9352]

wanna drink this ,even knowing i hate cucumber with a passion :)

[@ForrestGee]

Does anyone know the music?.

[@awoogaz]

ForrestGee Darude - Sandstorm

[@SpiritualAthiest]

Damn, absinthe? You can't have too many of this drink. Once your vowels all sound like e's, you are done.

[@8LuckyBuc9]

Ahhhh keyboard bartenders make me chuckle

[@KingDennisJensen]

8LuckyBuc9 lol, first time hearing keyboard bartenders.... I kinda like it ಠ‿ ಠ

[@샌슨퍼시발]

What is spritzer soda? Kind of soda water? I really want to make at home, but I can’t get spritzer soda, and any information. Guys please help me😂😂

[@tomlasher-walker173]

샌슨퍼시발 soda or sparkling water; either will be suffice!

[@Sullendust]

barney stinson

[@Moshimoshism]

When you're at the top of your game, false humility is unnecessary and childish. Goddamn I wanna try that drink.

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Shaz Yong couldn’t agree more. Wish I could have had way more composure in that filming, along with some better editing procedures too

[@ericascag]

He's hot lol

[@facemafia]

so he wasted absinthe for aroma?

[@comtraya101]

Its a small amount of absinth and plenty of cocktails use that technique, eg the sazerac. Also, many bartenders will let you drink the absinth as they are making your cocktail.

[@caffeineTX]

Humberto Quintero its called a rinse, plenty of drinks call for absinthe and vermouth rinses.

[@KOilithyia]

What's up with the fake pouring sounds? It sounds terrible

[@thisisyaren]

very crazy, waste of absinthe, i wonder what kind he used

[@RobertoACalderon]

i prefer don q

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Roberto A. Calderón it’s a great rum for sure. Saying that, I’m definitely it prejudiced; I’ll drink all rums 😉

[@allyftw]

Looks pretty good, however, that is a massive waste of absinth.

[@browngom]

normally the bartender would let the customer drink the absinthe

[@tomlasher-walker173]

Addison Wilson true; but it was the only way I could coat the glass and chill it at the same time. Ideally I would have had an atomizer or a bitters bottle to dispense smaller amounts
