I think It would be funny to make a cocktail of the coronavirus

[@MrAqr2598]

Duncan Bailey I think he already did in the quarantine cocktail vid (Rhyme not intended).

You should do Moloko Plus from A Clockwork Orange!

[@brodylockley3141]

Shandys rum and coke or liccure

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

I love these "rumoll please" "Rum and rummer" "Sippy cylinder" "Rule of rum"

[@NamelessFacelessWhoa]

I feel like tequila is the logical next step for this series

Agreed. I have a lot to learn about tequila.

[@ngc4260]

It probably is tbh, also nice Pinkerton pfp

[@MrAqr2598]

I think that vodka is another logical next step he can take.

[@DrunknBraindead]

@Aidan Sounds like my drinking habbit

[@fashnek]

No, basic tiki drinks.

[@XscarpettaX]

this channel has everything a cockail channel should be. great lighting and colors, subtle and classy music, calm but purposefully speaking narrator, and best of all a host with style that is entertaining without being distracting

[@LordEnigma]

...but why is the Rum gone?

[@ajaxmaye2520]

I've been asking that question as well!

[@LordEnigma]

It's usually my fault

[@zbeekerm]

I was supposed to go sailing and visit the island where Johnny Depp uttered those very words March 13-22... but if I had I would likely have ended up getting turned back from Grenada and having to sail back to St. Vincent and figure out flight re-booking etc. 😢

[@jasonfernandez7340]

I love this channel so much. Great tutorial vids and not boring

[@jno1437]

Daiquiris were a delightful and refreshing choice for cocktails after a long day of yard work and gardening by my wife and I. What great timing for this rum video!

[@kilidis-son3520]

I just tried the "cold brew and cream" with what's in my fridge and OMG it's so tasty and refreshing for something so easy to do! It just took me like 2 min to do on the table corner. it's awesome

[@CocktailChemistry]

Hell yeah!

[@homeboymads]

Put it in a Starbucks cup 😄

[@CocktailCards]

Love the Diverse selection of drinks as well. Great Job!! Perfect timing with summer coming up!

[@FireheadLazzo]

Finally! I've been waiting forever for the rum episode. I'll have to try some of these this weekend

[@quackyart6268]

wasn't expecting cold brew and cream to immediately become one of my favorites thanks for sharing!

[@Polletross]

Agricole rum has got to be my favorite type of rum. And possibly favorite of any spirit. aged Agricole makes the mai tai absolutely perfect.

[@own3d4u]

Wow! I made the cold brew and cream using a little different ratios based on my ingredients, but that was delicious! I used Bacardi instead of dark rum, a caramel creamer, and a little extra coconut cream because I love coconut drinks.

[@Kevin_Ho70]

Love your How To videos! So fun, easy and to the point! Thank you. 🤝💪👍

[@Erin0Green]

What’s that cool herb/mint cylinder?

[@CocktailChemistry]

It's called an herb keeper and does a great job at it! Here's an (affiliate) link: amzn.to/2T8YmyF

I remember you saying in some comments in a previous video that your views were down lately, but you’re one of my favorite creators on KZbin. What I’m saying is keep up the great work! I’ll keep watching if you keep shaking and stirring (;

[@ArtOfDuane]

I like making mojitos with a darker spiced rum and ginger beer for the fizzy bit. Very refreshing!

[@juancho5419]

I'm gonna make some Cuba Libre tonight after classess. Thank you 🎶

[@fabriziopizzanelli7035]

Love your vids. I'll be trying some of these for sure!

[@XxUnluckyGrim777xX]

Ah yes, the Cuba Libre, the classiest of drinks. Glad to see it got some love. Great job!

[@AndrewB_M.D.]

Just made a rum old fashioned the other night with Plantation dark rum, demerara syrup, a dash of angostura and a dash of lime. it was fantastic. Thanks for more ideas!

[@fernandodiaz1100]

Thanks for all the videos.

[@richardlee754]

If I remember correctly the first time I saw a Cuba Libre was here, and now it is my go to summer beverage. It takes the classic rum and coke to a new level in my opinion.

I've just recently gotten into rum. I've been a bourbon Drinker most of my life. I'm definitely going to have to try the Cuba Libre and the cold brew and cream look freaking amazing. I guess I know what I'm drinking this weekend.

[@icewolf7]

Hey Nick, I love the selection of rums you've decided to showcase here. That Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black is absolutely delicious and I really wish we could have access to it (or any Hamilton bottlings) here in Canada. Cheers.

[@MrKachannie]

The cold brew and cream sounds amazing!!

Thank you for the great demonstration.

I went looking for rum drinks and came across your channel. You sir, get a like for your simple and easy to make recipes. Coke and lime it is lol 😎👍🏽.

[@IluvinortheIneffable]

What I have learned from this channel: Booze+lime/bitters+soda+fruit/mint(optional)= good cocktail. Just put it on ice and serve it in a fancy cup.

[@bobheale2521]

Great videos. Cold brew is my new favourite

[@calebleland8390]

"Sippy cylinder" is my new favorite thing. Cheers!

[@jport1975]

Man i miss having a cocktail at my favorite bar. Love these videos!

[@user-mg8ko6mv4r]

I hear Brubeck's "Take Five" and it totally fits the ambience. Good choice

[@shorttermhobbyist]

i made the cold brew cocktail last night! it was fantastic and a great way to use up garbage dark rum i got for a mai tai party a while back

Easiest 5 vodka cocktail I can make to my cheap college friends who barely take the effort to mix gin and grocery lemonsoda without feeling bad inside

[@mattia_carciola]

@@sabbathjackal like they're gonna even evaluate buying khalua, yeah... That's why I need the vodka special, so I'll try to convince them to try some 1-bottle evenings and still have something worth being called cocktail.

[@TheBswan]

@@mattia_carciola 2 oz vodka, .75 oz fresh lime juice, any kind of fruit juice to taste. The fresh lime juice is the key for a reasonable upgrade to college alcoholism. Source: I got a lot of people drunk in college.

[@fashnek]

No proud person is going to help make trash, the truth is that there are no difficult vodka cocktails except those that would be better with a different liquor in the first place, so just go wild and mix drinks you like with vodka. It’s going to taste bad but that’s your market.

[@emilragnarsson6453]

Question about the Mojito: pros and cons of muddling the quarters of lime with sugar and then clapping and adding the mint, and stirring a little before adding the rest?

Sooo good! Thanks

[@nickmonts]

For the cold brew and cream freeze some coffee cubes the night before so the shake wont dilute it

I had a hard time actually listening to you because I haven't heard Take Five in so long and I was getting into it; fantastic choice.

Just made the daquiri with some muddled strawberries in the mix. Delicious, thanks!

[@fashnek]

Then you definitely did not make a daiquiri.

[@sarahhall5195]

fashnek you sound fun at parties

[@fashnek]

But hey, I do write my own comments from my actual own ideas instead of regurgitating old memes verbatim without any hint of new thought.

[@zbeekerm]

On a side note: That is ABSOLUTELY THE (ONLY) CORRECT way to make a Mojito. Muddling the mint with cane sugar really gets that fresh mint flavor out of it. While we're on the topic of rum, I don't recall you ever covering the "pain killer" cocktail. Another great usage of that cream of coconut.

[@fashnek]

Please never cover Painkiller, Dark ‘n’ Stormy, Moscow Mule, or any other trademark/marketing drink.

[@fashnek]

Anyway, the IBA and plenty of cocktail experts don’t agree with this technique. For one, the rum typically goes in after ice, and limes are often juiced, not muddled, to avoid pith. Save the muddler for your caipirinhas, where leaves aren’t already making a mess.

[@SandraudigaVali]

I appreciate that you put the sponsor announcement at the end as opposed to it being strewn throughout the video

[@cynthiaking2153]

Help! You are very good at this mixology. I NEED a hot tottie drink with rum to get through cold, wet winter.

[@flyingnutrition6199]

[@Dr_Monitor]

I still prefer the Ti Punch I learned a few years back: cane syrup (the darker the better, usually Steen's), a lime wedge, muddle that, and then agricole over ice until it looks right.

[@VulgarUltra]

If I couldn't see your face so often, you'd be deemed "Boozing with Babish."

[@zieghart2]

name suggestion for you coffee drink... Cafecito a la Havana (Havana coffee)

[@Boyanbo]

This video's favorite pun: "rule of rum" :)

[@13Yeared]

One of the easiest is also one of my current favorites. Equal parts angostura bitters, overproof rum (151 ideally), simple syrup, and lime juice. It’s the Klingon Bloodwine from How to Drink

[@fashnek]

You definitely did NOT mean equal parts.

[@13Yeared]

fashnek Seriously, equal parts. I do 1.5 oz of every ingredient listed. Believe me, I was skeptical too because 1.5 oz of bitters sounds like suicide but the drink is pretty spectacular

[@Rywhiskey33]

Series suggestion: 3 most difficult *insert spirit here* cocktails. 3 instead of 5 because face it- they're hard.

[@justincook9555]

Kind of a funky riff on the Cuba Libre. 1oz pineapple rum and 1/2oz light rum, 3/4oz lime juice shake and pour over ice in a tall glass and top off with good rootbeer. It sounds odd but it's really nice cause the spices of the rootbeer work with the pineapple rum.

[@fashnek]

How did you wind up stuck with pineapple rum? That is the kool-aid of rums.

[@caesarion6]

good one! easiest 5 vodka cocktails would be nice

[@fashnek]

Most vodka cocktails are the same. Mix vodka into a liquid that you absolutely love, and you will get a worse version of the drink but with alcohol.

[@Barprints]

NEED that container to store my mint!

[@boozeontherocks]

Lets have a Rumrolll ..... Great video!

[@hidaniel1757]

my mouth is watering

[@LiveLNXgaming]

My takes on these drinks just for fun: Daiquiri (same recipe but use simple syrup that is a 2-1 sugar to water ratio. Even 3-1 if you want lots of sweet. it also does not have to be refrigerated at 2-1 or greater.) Old Fashioned (Rum is the same but then muddle a slice of orange under the ice, add .25oz demerara simple at a 2-1 ratio, and add 2 dashes of orange bitters and stir. no lime) Cuba Libre (My favorite drink. Rum and lime keep the same but add in 2oz cola syrup after that, stir, and then top off with seltzer. No off the shelf coke. but its still amazing) Mojito (i used to make it just like this until i saw your 3 methods video and now the 2nd method [that does not use nitrogen] is my go too. Go watch that video, its so good and still very easy) Cold Brew and Cream ( ya. that looks amazing and im going to make that very soon. That sounds about perfect) (May I also recommend the Painkiller recipe by How To Drink, its not as easy being 5 ingredients but good god is it amazing)

[@Quintinohthree]

The only ingredients not included in the video that go in a painkiller are pineapple and orange juice. That seems well within what is reasonable. Of course, you'd want to use something approaching British Navy rum, not necessarily Pusser's but something medium bodied with some good oak on it in any case.

[@hankflitz7409]

This is just a suggestion, but if you’re doing Patreon polls, please include the Pink F##k from Ash vs. Evil Dead.

[@joseantoniolago5857]

Hemingway used to said: I drink my Daiquiri in the Floridita and my Mojito, in la bodeguita del medio, or maybe, the other way around, really don't remember, those are famous Bar in Habana.

[@JaredT_Astro]

Those dad jokes were so punny 😂😂

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I like the engraved iced cube

[@evilgenius919]

Thinking about doing a Cuba Libre with Birch Beer see how that turns out. Bit of a weird request but any chance on simple absinthe cocktails?

[@Besyanteo]

Could you do a no-lime episode? My sister is deathly allergic to lime and I swear it is the most common cocktail ingredient ever.

[@Quintinohthree]

Swap it for lemmon if you must and can. It's different but does most of the same work.

[@fashnek]

Almost every single video doesn’t use lime.

[@yusufbanna]

throw the cold brew in the starbucks cup and.it will be our little secret..😆 done that....good tip.😉

[@BipinBabu2024]

What was the size in ml of the collins glass you used for cuba libre?

[@AngryCocktails]

"Put it in your starbucks cup" was a great payoff :)

[@skeetersaurus6249]

I'd have to argue the opening points about Rum. Having been a 'rum lover' for around 50-years, I have found when setting up my own bars, the first rum spirits I prefer are simply 1. Light Rum (white rum), 2. Bacardi Gold Rum, 3. Bacardi Spiced Rum...and if I want variety from these, possibly a good 'Dark Rum'...(I don't count Pussers in 'Dark' Rums, as it is truly a 'Spiced Rum'). That said...if you are on a budget, or have 'tight room to set up a personal bar', White, Gold and Spiced will cover almost every drink you can imagine...sometimes with better flavor than the original recipe envisioned....my 'beer-equivalent' mixed drink, personally, is Grog...and while Pussers (a 'spiced Rum') was the British Navy Defacto rum for Grog, I find that the flavor is FAR MORE BALANCED by replacing it with Bacardi Gold Rum. Try that, and see if you don't agree...

[@SImonSmiles84]

I'd venture that anyone with the vaguest ideas about rum would disagree. First of all, Bacardi make some of the least rum-like rum in the world, it's basically vodka with a hint of flavouring and colouring added. Secondly, spiced rum is not rum. Hence the different name. Third, Pussers is not a spiced rum, with the exception of Pussers Spiced, all their flagship offerings are simply a navy rum following a similar recipe to the rum made for the Royal Navy. If you really want to try something authentic to that, look for some 'Black Tot Last Consignment' which is as close as you can get. Fourth, if you're going to put more than 1 rum on your bar, try some variety! Get rums from different regions with different distillation methods, ingredients, or ageing methods. A Jamaican rum is a totally different drink to a Barbados rum, just like a molasses rum is different to a cane juice agricole, and an oak aged is different to an unaged. Lastly, you wouldn't categorise any other spirit based on colour, so why do so with rum? It has minimal bearing on flavour. Look up the Gargano Rum Classification method, it makes so much more sense and allows a much more logical approach to understanding what you're drinking. While I don't rate Plantation due to their dosing & ageing methods (let's not get started on their attacks on GIs in the Caribbean), the selection shown is a good start at demonstrating the variety rum offers.

[@Quintinohthree]

@@SImonSmiles84 An addendum, while the Gargano classification is worthwhile in the way it emulates the Scotch-Irish classification of whisk(e)y, something a little more expansive is necessary to decide on a minimal set to stock your bar with. Martin Cate's classification presented in Smuggler's Cove (SC) into a good two dozen categories of which 8 are numbered and recommended as most essential or Matt Pietrek's "six essential tiki rum categories" presented here cocktailwonk.com/2019/10/six-essential-tiki-rum-categories.html and more extensively in Minimalist Tiki (MT) are perhaps better guides on what to get for maximum variety. As for the quality of Bacardi rums; while none of the colour coded offerings warrant a recommendation, and spiced and flavoured rums are actively recommended against, MT does include Bacardi Quatro (4) in category 3, and SC includes Bacardi Ocho (8) and Diez (10) in recommended category 4. There is plenty carrying the Bacardi name you should probably avoid categorically if you want a quality cocktail, but that leaves a good selection to keep on consideration nonetheless. Finally, while Plantation 3 Star, Original Dark and OFTD are perhaps the best set of just 3 rums from a single brand you could stock your bar with, it's worth getting bottles from several brands, and to explore alternatives regularly anyway. Between the two of us I think we've provided some good resources. Edit: I think I misinterpreted your final paragraph. I wholeheartedly agree Nick shows a great sampling of what rum has to offer on the video.
