Would cane sugar get even closer to a "real" rum flavor?

[@unidentifiaification]

Would also love Zero Curacao, and Zero Tequila to allow for a Zero Margarita!

[@scottmichaelharris]

I usually use a bit of molasses to my virgin rum. Toasted oak chips for aged.

[@KevinKos]

make sense!

[@moiracoleman5087]

📖 Thank you ​@KevinKos for providing such a smooth, gentlemanly and instructive channel with such style 👌

[@KevinKos]

Thanks! It means a lot!

[@phantomhandofcocktailtime6911]

The Virgin Cuba Libre can finally stop being a prank for your bartender 😂

[@alexandercohen1149]

and the virgin Piña Colada can stop being a burden

[@LeeONardo-n6g]

I will soon need to make another batch, this time with the Coconut water which isn't stated in my copy of the book, this makes a lot of sense as a swap, maybe adding some toasted oak chips too, thanks for the tip re updated recipe.

[@the_sweet_sparrowejsimpson3647]

Thank you for showing this I have searched for a while for a good rum alternative! 📖

[@petermcguire4769]

Can't wait to give this a try. As the base of rum is molasses, I might add a little bit even if I wasn't going for a blackstrap rum flavor profile.

[@Rasmus3377]

Hi Kevin, I would love to see a video or a recipe of the general terms of a good foam, how much liquid to how much methylcellulose and xanthan gum, how much sugar and so on.

[@alexramos9953]

📖 Love it! Thanks for expanding our cocktail appreciation.

[@el_nan1]

📖 Awesome stuff, as always! Now we need a zero-sugar (alternative sweeteners) series!

[@Nommtomm-mz7kg]

I'm going to try this recipe in the next few days and try to add dried banana to make it a non alcoholic jamaican rum. Holy cocktail coupe this means the non alcoholic Mai Tai is possible! Thank you so much Kevin XD

[@mattia_carciola]

Do you have any specific tip for drying banana peels? Or you can buy that?

[@KevinKos]

Sounds great! You are welcome! Cheers!

[@Nommtomm-mz7kg]

@@KevinKos Thanks :) Cheers!

[@jacobsmith8848]

Toasted cane sugar and toasted coconut sugar as a mixed sweetener with dried bananas and maybe a small piece of dried pineapple would maybe recreate a rum Agricole. Or maybe add some vegetables for the literal vegetal note lol

[@KevinKos]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@secret-nacho-not-fake]

Replying so I can find this soon

[@muhammadnajwan5078]

hi Kevin,mine a bit boring , not sweet enough n taste nutmeg too much but I noticed my mistake is at the pestle mortar,I crush it too fine n do rum need to be punchy in flavor?bcuz mine turned out to be just "nutmeg water"

[@joelmarfori8097]

Thank U so much For another Very helpful episode Mr.kevin kos.... UBE PURPLE YUM COCKTAIL next Please....❤❤❤

[@KevinKos]

cheers!

[@najaharb8354]

Hello Kevin, i am working at a non alcoholic bar and i am creating all zero spirits (Tequila, jamaican rum, mezcal, gin ...). My problem is that i can't find a good way to clarify it, i tried the milk one and it worked but I didn't get a good result. Can you suggest for me a good method to clarify non alcoholic spirits. Thank you very much 🌹

[@juancarlosportales4621]

Hi, with carbon filter is working for me 👌

[@Azrael56]

📔 I usualy don't like rhum taste but I would try your recipe to see if I like it.

[@KevinKos]

Hope you enjoy. Cheers!

[@Malte_Www]

Mahalo Kevin 'n Crew! Would you think that an alcohol free Cachaça is possible? Any chance you'll make a video on it? As always, great video!

[@KevinKos]

noted. Cheers!

[@31415936536]

Hey @KevinKos, you have recommended a number of times now to freeze your zero-proof concoctions as a way of extending their utility. Have you ever had issues freezing your zero-proofs in glass? I would have assumed that the expansion of the ice would cause the glass to shatter? Or do you put your liquids in plastic before freezing?

[@Reynewang]

2:38 he states not to fill the bottle all the way up. Reckon that's the way to prevent any problems from expansion in the freezer

[@KevinKos]

exactly

[@giorgosapo4508]

📖Awesome episode Kevin!

[@KevinKos]

thanks!

[@andreagaetanomancino3793]

Did you use coconut water or milk?

[@aastikkumarsaha6007]

For how long can we store this one?

[@OrenNoah]

Curious as to why you bashed a chunk of nutmeg in the mortar and pestle, rather then grate the amount you need with a microplane. If the goal is to increase surface area, wouldn’t the microplane produce superior results for less work?

[@micahbonewell5994]

He already needed to the mortar and pestle, so why dirty two things

[@KevinKos]

Exaclty. When there is a bit more nutmed needed I preffer to crush it like this.

[@TVRawwr]

Love how easy this is! Do you think that adding vinegar (making somewhat of a shrub) would better mimic that kick from a real rum?

[@KevinKos]

You can use vinegar for kick too, but you'll of course get some extra acidity with this.

[@dhwih]

Zero Tequila/Mezcal would be interesting next

[@topazphoenix6301]

Two video ideas: 1) With the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris coming up, it would be fun to see a video with some cocktail(s) highlighting French bottles. 2) The House of the Dragon season 2 is currently airing and has been really good. Would you be interesting in making some themed cocktails for the show, similar to your previous Harry Potter drinks?

[@Manuel06p]

Thank you a lot, now I can make my 0% Alchol Pina Colada👍

[@KevinKos]

Enjoy!

[@eloravanwaldkatze4594]

awesome 😮

[@KevinKos]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@venom030]

📖 love the zero proof stuff!

[@SirCoran]

I’d love to create these kinds of things at the bar where I work, but the short shelf life makes it impractical

[@KevinKos]

You can freeze it! That's what I do with our batches.

[@SirCoran]

@@KevinKos thanks for your reply, and thank you for your channel

[@mattia_carciola]

I'd like to sip this mock cuba libre next to a [book], but the only one I'll see are the university ones :')

[@ariel_haymarket]

📖 Interesting recipes to check out!

[@KevinKos]

Glad you like them!

[@robifiser]

Zero Amaro next? Or is that just cough medicine? 😅

[@ellyam991]

NyQuil highball about to be the next big trend

[@KevinKos]

Haha, there is only one way to find out, right? 😃

[@GaleGrim]

If you add a bit of ginger you might be able to capture some of that alcohol burn feel of rum.

[@borojugovic8178]

Great Video, is there any good way to add perservative, and if so what works best?

[@KevinKos]

If you lover down PH you could use Sodium Benzoate but I preffer freezing.

[@jacobsmith8848]

Non alcoholic Holmes Cay Grand arome: .6 grams of rubber glove 3 grans of olives 1.1 grams of old tire Can sugar Gasoline You’re welcome

[@patriciasouchik-stock7521]

📘

[@Bellabeebuzz]

HECKING yes thank you KEVIN

[@KevinKos]

cheers!

[@Regodian]

finally... I'm not "beyond being helped" 😂😂😂

[@ellyam991]

So... a regular Rum Old Fashioned but adding sweetened Zero Rum instead of syrup. It can't get any Rum-ier than that 🧠

[@KevinKos]

wow! That's a great idea actually! 😃

[@moiracoleman5087]

Ditto any strongly flavoured cocktail possibly?

[@TatzkaTube]

This would be fun to try!

[@chanaschweitzer8609]

Make tequila!!!
