TO THE BAR!➡️🥃

[@rudyseidl7645]

A LA CANTINA!

[@tedwojtasik8781]

I have had these at Hubers in Portland and they make them tableside and usually have a dedicated server just for this purpose. Believe me, the guy as always running, even lunchtime during the week. Hubers itself is an amazing restaurant and cannot say enough good about it. Great food, great service, great ambiance.

[@daleleschnitzer3655]

Hubers is also known for roasted turkey dishes. The Spanish Coffee tableside was very fun to watch

[@danmcvicker3620]

I’ll second this. This cocktail did not disappoint.

[@jpcampbell]

Congrats on 500k!!

[@charliecooper9794]

man this is such a good channel.

[@conantf]

Yay! Something new to have at brunch!

[@chriskaufman4394]

Reminds me of the Rudesheimer Koffee. Delicious desert finish.

[@davidkalyn321]

I just watched the bartender make one of these in Huber’s about 45 minutes ago. They didn’t sugar the rim and were very flamboyant with the pours into the glass. Was mostly show but the patrons really enjoyed them from what I saw

[@benvieira3895]

Oooooh this looks GOOD! Thanks for the recipe, been looking for a use for my 151!

[@31415as]

fire, coffee, booze! yeah - bring it on!

[@ShayanGivehchian]

I'm hosting brunch tomorrow and this timing could not be better

[@X_Thoxsam_X]

The version for Spanish coffee in the Netherlands is with licor 43 instead of coffee- and orange liqueur. This seems way better have to try!

[@JustMe-fz5uc]

That looks very nice. Love the orange and coffee together. This is fun.

[@andywanzeller625]

It looks delicious

[@alexanderclavijo4824]

Thanks a lot, see you on next time Muchas gracias, Nos vemos a la proxima. Saludos desde Bogotá.

[@MichaelDinsmore]

I had to laugh, but can totally see your point - make one and then everyone else wants to have one! Having a drink that’s also an experience is the way to enjoy the cocktails!

[@iancorcoran468]

stunning, will definitely have to try this

[@scorpiorysing]

Yeah, as someone else mentioned, they make great versions of this, Sexy Mexican, in Mexico. Tequila, Grand Marnier, Kahlua, coffee, ice cream, cherry garnish. The liquor is lit, poured between 2 tin gravy boats a foot or so apart in the air, then down into your coffee glass. The tins are warmed over hot flame before adding the liquors. It's quite the spectacle to see. I've had these many times over coastal Mexico, Caribbean and Pacific sides, including the Baja. Anders, you need a trip to Mexico :-)

[@rafaelnadal5892]

Gracias Anders! If you're ever in Jersey City stop by 87 Sussex, you're the reason I've made some dramatic improvements in making cocktails. Life changing!

[@CosmoguyDale]

Been there...done that!! They're also known for their turkey dinners. Great place...wonderful food and service is top notch. The Spanish Coffee production is something to see!!!

[@chrisfurer7162]

Hey Anders, do you have a video on which liqueurs can age, which can’t, which should be chilled? How do we take care of our bar? Love the videos

[@AndersErickson]

I don't yet, but think it's a great idea. Cheers

[@Mocktailmaking]

very nice

[@DakotaHusted]

I live in Portland and have never been there. It’s cool to hear that this was created at Hubers! I’ll have to go try it now!

[@marysalmon2367]

I think this would be my favorite drink. I am determined to try one. I just need to find someone to make if for me.

[@jameycollins725]

I made at least 12 Spanish Coffees when my parent's bar was the only one open during the ice/snow. I always have fun making them although they are a little time consuming.

[@KevinSmith-zy4rr]

At Huber's and most places in Portland, they also grate some nutmeg over the open flame to send little sparks everywhere, which is pretty fun.

[@timothyhickman9316]

Great as always my go to bartender

[@sonicthegt]

Yessss! I had this here in STL at a fancy restaurant. Had no idea what it was at that point. Once I had it I was obsessed. I featured it this year on my 25 cocktails of Christmas. It also translates great into an espresso martini.

[@seanpannebaker6404]

Rum ✅️ coffee ✅️ Anders approved ✅️ Sounds good to me! Cheers!

[@AndersErickson]

Definitely approved

[@bushwood1676]

Yum, can never have too many coffee cocktails

[@leeanderson7339]

Hi Anders, I was at the liquor store looking for a good coffee liqueur over the Christmas holiday, and never have been real happy with Kahlua at all, and whoomp there it was…GRIND Espresso liqueur, says it was created by bartenders, so we tried it. Dude, if you haven’t tried it you really should! We’ve tried 3 flavors (don’t know if there are others); Mocha flavored is good, the Regular Espresso is better, and the Caramel flavored is my favorite. No joke, GRIND is the bomb!!!

[@WaddellJudy]

Anders, your my hero! Keep all that coming

[@compunurse]

My problem is that I live in Hooterville. What that means is premixed margaritas, lots of beer on tap, and a lot of low and bourbon and tequila on the bars around here. I’m pretty sure if I were to go order this at one of those establishments, their head would explode.I’m glad I found your channel channel. Otherwise I would never know about all of these potential delicious concoctions.

[@normwilson117]

brilliant

[@KM-hc2jq]

This one looks incredible 😍

[@chedrick78]

Anders I mean this with full intent, ily and the recipes you provide us 🤗

[@ZedsDeadZD]

I dont drink coffee and probably wont buy coffee liqueur ever but still watch the videos. So entertaining! Cheers.

[@davesimms8825]

Remember that “fire is the devils only friend “.

[@Wdlarson1]

And if you like that PDX drink, The Heathman used make “steamers” with steamed milk and a shot or two of various liqueurs served in a Champagne Flute. Gran Marnier, Baileys, Chamboard… or mixing.

[@PiotrWojnowski]

Are you able to make your own coffee and orange liqueurs? I'm waiting for mine to be ready so I can make drinks like the one you presented nicely today.

[@jbarttx2100]

Have you ever made or had an Asiático Coffee From Cartagena Spain? Excellent drink!! Love your videos!!

[@SuperGnarWhales]

Was thinking this would be something with Licor 43 so I'm surprised! Cheers!

[@rachelmartin286]

Proud to be from Portland! Might want to make people aware that you have to use tempered glass for this or it could shatter with the flame.

[@ayakomari]

Saludos desde México, me encantan tus videos

[@mgsPWlover]

Little unfortunate that the Hubers version is really only okay, but regardless, the presentation is fun and even a mediocre Spanish coffee is still an EXCELLENT cocktail! Also, when making at home, I highly recommend Goslings Black Seal overproof. I find that it complements the coffee very nicely.

[@nicktheflybradley]

Hi Anders, this was put up by Jeffrey Morgantaller a few weeks ago. I have made it 3 times since to that recipe. It is a lovely drink. Nick from York

[@inciteful]

Finally! 😉Miss you, friendo.

[@AndersErickson]

This one’s for you, Nick. Cheers!

[@raztre2121]

It's like you knew I was both tired and in need of a drink

[@AndersErickson]

You and me both. Happy weekend

[@rlespinoza06]

Make a carajillo or your version of said carajillo, please.

[@stevenvanderville2589]

Anders, everything you put out there is an A. But this one gets an A+. Great production, great presentation, and everything about this drink looks fantastic. Putting this at the top of my "must make" list.

[@AndersErickson]

Appreciate that! Hope you enjoy this one. Cheers

[@alladin_payne]

For the coffee liquor, would Mr Blacks work?

[@TriciaStewart-k5s]

Hi, This may be a silly question. In making a simple syrup, can I use Turbinado sugar instead of Demerara sugar? I've been making Old Fashioneds for myself and friends, and getting great reviews!!

[@TheRnB69]

You have some out of the norm drinks and I love it. What are you favorite coffee+scotch drinks? Single malt & peaty. Hit me with it. I appreciate it!

[@arisp816]

For sure gonna try that, but man if someone orders that on a busy night it will be a nightmare

[@Dr_Bombay]

'round my parts, that glass is known as a Picon Punch glass, and occasionally called the Irish Coffee glass. Why didn't we get to see Az's reaction on camera? Suddenly the glass was half empty, so i'm guessing she liked it 😂

[@schelzel]

I think that was the most immediate and affirmative response Az has given on the channel in response to “Do you want to try?” 😅🥃 😅

[@AndersErickson]

Think she knew I was about to drink the whole thing

[@RjWolf3000]

If you brew good coffee wouldn’t be better to leave out the preserved coffee in the kalua?

[@krazmokramer]

In the mid 1970s when I was tending bar, we used to make this with 151 Rum and Tia Maria. One thing to note...if you let it flame too long as you caramelize the sugar on the rim, the glass will shatter. Ask me how I know! Kind of ruins the presentation. THANKS Anders!

[@AndersErickson]

How do you know?

[@krazmokramer]

@@AndersErickson I broke LOTS of glassware. I'm a slow learner.

[@JohnReddersen]

I should have read this sooner...

[@Wdlarson1]

Many great memories of Spanish Coffee at Huber’s and many great meals. Sadly, don’t know anyone who goes downtown PDX for anything these days.

[@katpirarate962]

That looks delicious, but also looks a little more time consuming than the average craft cocktail. How do you manage to make a bunch of those during a Friday night drink rush?

[@bigmike1094]

He's setting the drink on fire for the same reason a dog licks his nuggets - because he can.

[@sweepauto]

now i need a colab with James Hoffman to find the perfect coffee for this. what grinder makes the best spanish coffee?

[@krazmokramer]

@sweepauto James would recommend making it in a Bripe!

[@insomniacsupremacy]

Hey Anders, I noticed you don’t build your drinks with the least expensive ingredient first (how I was trained at my bar). How come? Is it just a preference thing? Love your content

[@AndersErickson]

Just how my brain works - mentally layering flavors as I make it. Not really thinking about individual costs. Don't tell management

[@SS4Xani]

How does the heat from the flames not destroy the glass? And do you need to use a special type of glass for this to work?

[@AndersErickson]

Great question! This glass can withstand the heat, but it's also thin - so it doesn't hold the heat for long. A thick glass holds the heat longer, so it's more likely to crack when cooler ingredients touch it

[@JohnReddersen]

Well, my glass split in half while flaming my drink, after my wife's worked just fine, so I wouldn't suggest using anything but those specific Libbey glasses.

[@SS4Xani]

😬@@JohnReddersen

[@jeffhreid]

Talking about dangerous drinks…. Do a blue blazer ! Love the channel always a good time BTW

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers. Arms are too hairy to try a Blue Blazer

[@hentasis993]

won't the glass crack? O_O anyways, sounds great to me)

[@manuelarbol]

Un carajillo demasiado elaborado... pero tiene que estar bueno. Pero en un bar español de toda la vida el carajillo es algo mucho más sencillo de preparar.

[@DJSixxx]

At the bar I worked at over 30 years ago, when when made Spanish Coffee, when the rum was on fire, we would shake cinnamon and nutmeg over the flame for even more of a show.

[@Cicero-ri8ke]

Bro how did you get that scar on your right eyebrow? Did you kick someone’s butt in a bar fight?

[@AndersErickson]

You know it

[@Cicero-ri8ke]

@@AndersErickson outstanding!

[@HolyCrapItsRich]

Why not just brulee the sugar in 2 seconds?

[@a04mar]

Aaahhh as soon as the Orange comes out I don’t really watch it anymore. I am very allergic to oranges.

[@seanpannebaker6404]

Somehow first!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers!

[@aaronellingsen5404]

I live in Portland, and have been to Hubers many times. I'd recommended one little trick they do, which is to rim both the outside and the inside of the glass with sugar. That way, the carmelized sugar runs down into the drink and you get a nice little kick of it every sip. It's deeeelicious!

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

gross!!

[@UnclePete]

Huber's is still going, fun place. When people order them in other bars around town, the bartenders all get pissed cuz its such a pain in the ass. Cheers!

[@AndersErickson]

Was wondering if you'd been! Hope this did Huber's justice. Cheers

[@raymondclayton136]

The Vintage Press Restaurant in Visalia, CA used to do a similar cocktail, swapping out the rum for Galliano liqueur, and serving it in a long-stemmed burgundy wine glass. They called it The Flaming Press. It’s been close to 40 years since I’ve had that cocktail, yet I still remember it vividly.

[@ramonenciso9827]

Where the good spots to go in Visalia now?

[@raymondclayton136]

As far as I know, The Vintage Press is still open, but it’s been 40 years since I lived there.

[@ramonenciso9827]

I looked it up on yelp and it is open! Thank you so much looks like they have really good drinks and fancy bourbon which I’ve been looking for thanks again

[@raymondclayton136]

You’re quite welcome. Cheers!

[@Urotsukidoji1]

I just want to say, I've been here almost since the beginning of your channel, and love it. Now that you are getting big, please stay true to the format (making cocktails). There are others that have strayed from said format, and their channel(s) are now often a waste of time.

[@thatwasinteresting3319]

This looks great. I am currently watching your videos in a country where you cannot have alcohol( on a year long deployment non military). It reminds me of home where I follow your channel for drink recipes that I would mix up for my girlfriend and I. It brings a little bit of home to a far off place. Keep up the good work Anders. I can't wait to get back to the good old USA and try a few of these new cocktails. Cheers

[@orangejoe3038]

Spanish coffee is one of my go-to drinks on a cold snowy weekend. So good!

[@Benito-lr8mz]

Soy Español y conozco el carajillo pero el cafe llamado Español nunca lo habia oido se " inventaria" en el extranjero ( o Hispanoamerica) y por algun motivo por exotismo lo llamarian asi ya que no es de España

[@MrMikeboca]

Vos sos muy simpático! Español argentino!

[@m.d.b.6318]

I thought you were going to use Spain's favorite liqueur: Licor 43. Puzzling

[@HenrikKleist]

A rant: I know your work needs to be rewarded somehow. But making your channel to have "Enhanced bitrate" to be a premium option have limited my views on your channel. Your work on making these videos are beautiful. But it deters me from watching your amazing work because of "bad" video quality.

[@matorix003]

Idk if you’ve heard of it before but there’s a spiked coffee, one actually from Spain, that is called Asiatico. It’s a really interesting drink with Licor43 and brandy and it tastes amazing, would love to see you try it

[@sanzpantz]

Sounds yumm Anders! Looking forward to trying--->next weekend. Hopefully I won't set my hair on fire and get buhnt up 🤪

[@sirpeepers]

How do you keep your heavy cream from separating?? Mine always gets chunky when I float it

[@fretless05]

Not sure if you're a fan, btu we've always eschewed the regular Kaluah because it's overly sweet. Instead, we've gotten the Kaluah Especial, which is more intense coffee flavor, higher proof, and far less sugary. That said, there are a number of less sweet coffee liqueurs out there! I do like the idea of a spiked coffee and this one has real interest, though seems to be far more work than others.

[@ericktellez7632]

Most likely came from Baja, the whole flair thing in food is done a lot in los cabos, tijuana and ensenada, the cesar salad as well it was exciting because it was made with some flair table side, the cocktails as well and the carajillo what made it different from the Spanish one was pretty much using fire as flair and mexican kahlua instead of other coffee liqueurs from Europe.

[@OakTownBlade]

I’m going to Portland in august & this joint was on my list, I will let you know how good it is! Great videos btw, love your channel Anders!

[@idickman]

I've had Spanish coffee at Huber's, they definitely make a show of it. It's pretty dang tasty too.

[@tedcarlson5698]

Question. Is it safe to flame liquor in any bar glassware or does the glass have to have a special property in it? Just wondering if the flames could damage the glass or release toxins.

[@Lasciatemi_Guidare]

IIRC Three Dots used to have a variation of this on their Bamboo Room menu, complete with pyrotechnics lol

[@ceciliar8857]

Can the glass get too hot and crack? Should I be looking for a special kind of glass this drink?

[@jeffhreid]

Pretty. A bit of a fuss to do at home though. I’d order one.

[@ursoouindio]

Is the coffee supposed to be hot? I did not get how hot this drink is supposed to be served.
