No I didn't. My guess was going to be nutmeg...😅

[@damienomen669]

I haven’t watched the video yet, but does it sound like Mosmeco and rhyme with Proseco?

[@razraz5474]

I so appreciate the accuracy in measurement 🥛🥂 ❤

[@KevinKos]

Cheers!

[@primosanchez6604]

Love your recipes and videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@natesmultishop1814]

🍹 painkiller is one of my favorites. I love the fresh nutmeg. This looks amazing and I like the coffee for balance!

[@TheRadioDemon13]

An absolute classic of a cocktail!! Fabulous Job Kevin! Always a pleasure watching your videos and learning something new! 🍹

[@KevinKos]

Really appreciated! Cheers!

[@loiverhernandezcrespo4221]

Amazing brother . Thank you

[@mike_maple]

🍹Caipirinha really hits the spot, and so simple. Brasilinha - with passion fruit - really good too

[@KevinKos]

Great choices, cheers!

[@jakovboskov256]

Caipirinhas are my summer favourite to drink!🍹🍹🍹

[@jasonbaker1887]

🍹 Thanks for this Kevin! I'll have to give the specific blend of rums and the coffee beans a try next time I make Pina Coladas definitely something different from most twists on the recipe I've seen. Cheers!

[@KevinKos]

I am sure you will love it too! Cheers!

[@emmanuelbrandelet4841]

Very interesting as always, thank you very much 🙂👌

[@KevinKos]

Thank you Emmanuel, glad you enjoyed it!

[@OldFashionedWays]

oh I love that flavor matrix book. such a great book for reference. this sounds like an amazing pina colada. thanks for sharing the secret recipe. keep it up. cheers

[@KevinKos]

Thanks for watching!

[@m.charron]

I just had a virgin piña colada that was one of the best piña coladas I've ever had. They lined the inside of the glass with a chocolate syrup spiral before pouring, and it worked. Visually it was very appealing, but then flavour-wise, it didn't make it taste like a chocolate piña colada, it just added depth and complexity in the absence of the rum. I can imagine cacao nibs working in the same way, in place of coffee beans.

[@KevinKos]

A Virgin Virgin version of what I made - no rum and no caffeine. Glad you liked it!

[@jimklemens5018]

Sounds gross.

[@stonefruit.records]

It was a privilege to meet you Kevin. Thank you for always sharing such amazing recipes and inspiring others to create delicious drinks, SALUT!

[@richard_lindsay]

Great video Kevin. Does it separate in the glass quickly? Could xanthan gum help with that?

[@isocle]

Would the texture be improved by grinding the coffee beans first, prior to adding to the blender?

[@Villa_0l]

I tought the same, some pieces don’t look fully blended. Maybe adding some less beans but blending them thoroughly makes a more homogenous drink

[@mattia_carciola]

​@@Villa_0lmy guess is that grinding the coffee would make hard to measure (quickly and consistently) because of the smaller amount in a bar setting. It would definitely need some testing to make it right

[@seanammon6993]

Oh my God the secret ingredient makes so much sense. That sounds so delicious

[@aeligzande]

🍹I loved every single idea in this video! Thanks, Kevin! I am not sure if it is tropical, but a drink I really enjoy is the Saturn.

[@KevinKos]

Glad you enjoyed it! And Saturn is for sure a Tiki drink, it's just gin-based instead of using rum!

[@Bigpoppas2oaks]

🍹ill will be making that this evening

[@bruceharlick3322]

🍹 Thanks for the video, Kevin! I've been enjoying a Gin Sour variation using Sakura syrup in place of the simple. Give a nice note of cherry blossom to it

[@KevinKos]

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!

[@SolzaRitoznoja]

Looks tasty

[@KevinKos]

It really was!

[@Faxius87]

Cafe la Trova is a must visit if you're in Miami! The food is also fantastic

[@KevinKos]

Couldn't agree more!

[@n3xt0n3xt]

🍹Favorite summer cocktails would be gin & tonic or frozen margarita for the hottest of days, and the Mai Tai for every evening.

[@Ethan_is_me]

5:36 that's actually so creative😂. Also, thanks for using grams for the amount of ice needed. Definitely makes things easier compared to volumetric measurements🍹🍹

[@KevinKos]

Glad you liked that cool addition 🥶 and you're welcome! Cheers!

[@Halicet]

Always liked them topped with a splash of Curaçao

[@ramonhoyos624]

🍹my favourite summer coktail is probably a mojito (but I can drink negronis at any season 😂)

[@andrewb9942]

Very cool!

[@vasilisgeorgakopoulos8279]

@KevinKos Great video as always! You gave me the idea to infuse a pineapple syrap. For exempel 250 gr pineapple skin 250 gr sugar och 20 gr of Coffee beans. Should be enough?

[@marcschonholzer7995]

Piña Coladas are awesome summer cocktails, but I really like drinking Jungle Birds or Frozen Margaritas as well in summer! 🍹 And by the way, could you once also make a video about how to make sherbet powder in different flavours that could be used as cocktail garnishes?

[@torsloke]

Just got back from Hawai’i and had so many great pina coladas (and mai tais, and a pineapple daiquiri, and a passion fruit Negroni, and a yuzu aviation - I may have drunk too much). I’m excited to try this version once I recover (or maybe a virgin one now, lol). The only part I would quibble with is saying that three servings is for you and two friends. They can get their own.

[@KevinKos]

Haha, I wish you a speedy recovery! In the meantime, the virgin variation will work for sure. Cheers!

[@MLE1G1]

Do you have any thoughts on adding emulsifiers such as xanthan gum to blended frozen cocktails like this? I remember seeing Joshua Weissman recommending it when making a homemade frappuccino

[@KevinKos]

For sure! Xanthan It's a great edition! I did this with fluffy jungle bird before, but I wanted to do the same as the original from Cafe La Trova here thanks!

[@adamfleischman8080]

@@KevinKoshow do you make Negroni coconut?

[@eyespy3001]

@@adamfleischman8080in the video he says he sous vide coconut flakes with all the ingredients of a Negroni, then strained and dried the coconut flakes. If you don't have an immersion circulator to cook thing sous vide, I would suggest just building a three-cups-sized Negroni in a quart container, then adding one cup of coconut flakes (unsweetened). Let that infuse for 24 hours, then strain and let dry. You'll not only have your Negroni coconut flakes, but you'll also have a pre batched coconut-infused Negroni.

[@BoRinoChristiansen]

[@GoggleHat]

I just re-watched the video and I didn't notice a moment in which a recipe came up, only a statement that it is the byproduct of a Coconut sous vide infused Negroni. What I couldn't find was the recipe or ratio of the infusion

[@mattia_carciola]

​@@GoggleHatI guess that since coconut can't really absorb more than a certain amount, enough negroni to make all of it wet + some more liquid should still be fine

[@nathansinger1171]

Since I didn't hear anything, I just wound up soaking my flakes in Campari and letting them dry. It looks great and provides a nice bitter coconut element.

[@HisVirusness]

I do not like pina coladas, but I do enjoy your videos. 🍹

[@KevinKos]

Thank you, that means a lot! If you'll ever get a request to make a Pina Colada for somebody else you know what to add 😉

[@mattia_carciola]

I love [tropical] drinks and if I had a blender or enough people willing to share the cost of some good quality rum (non of us is a big drinker, even if I love mixing) I would have absolutely tried it! (yeah, this time I'm quite late, but I was on holiday)

Let me just find my stockpile of Negroni infused coconut flakes, a staple of every home.

[@KevinKos]

It's an optional addition to the cocktail, but I appreciate the sarcasm 😅

[@danielevans4485]

@@KevinKos Great comment but in all seriousness, how would the simple home bartender make this at home? Shred some coconut and soak in negroni ingredients? Cook them sous vide as they do at Cafe La Trova?

[@KevinKos]

you can use coconut flakes and put it in a sous vide bag, together with Negroni. Then cook it on a low temperature (I would say max 50°C) for approximate two hours. Strain and enjoy both end products.

That does sound quite tasty 🍹 Though, it's more than five ingredients, so I just might stick to something like a GT :D

[@FPSChipmunk]

Is the fact that the 3x batch contains 540g of pebble ice, vs. the single serving at the end calling for 120g (as opposed to 180g) of crushed ice a mistake? Or is there a difference in dilution in a triple vs single batch/difference in dilution between pebble vs crushed ice that created this discrepancy?

[@KevinKos]

Yes, you are right. It should be 180g. Thank you for pointing this out!

The champagne pina colada at Coupette, London was really good. However over the years it's become smaller and now £15. It's so good but at that price and how much you get now it's not worth it. In general the quality at that bar has gone down

Does Sexy Fish Miami suck as bad as Sexy Fish Mayfair? As improbable as it seems, I’m guessing that a Sexy Fish in the city that serves as spiritual home of bottle service and douchebaggery has to be just as bad. Given that Sexy Fish in London is a restaurant for people who care about being seen paying as much as possible for terrible food, it’s totally on-brand for Miami.

[@jorgegarcia-yj6cn]

Dont like the looks of the pieces of secret ingredients in the end product, you should improve it to hide that off color it gives
