We’re on the same wavelength...just made this for the 1st time this weekend. Changed 2 things. Increase each rum by 50%, then ad 1/4 oz. pineapple gum syrup. Damn fine stuff!
I've really enjoyed your journey through these classic tiki cocktails. It's helped a lot of people get through the days of Covid lockdowns I'm sure. However, we have got to work on your ability to drink the occasional shot of rum.
I made that cocktail last weekend it was okay I thought it tasted a little flat I was wondering what it would be like adding a little bit of soda water it would give it a little fizz what do you think?
Happy 25th!!!👍 Keep them coming Spike!!!🍹🥃🍸 Hey that bamboo straw you used for this episode, is it real bamboo or is it paper??? I like the way it looks. 🎋
@@BreezewayCocktailHour That's a great idea, I've made my own orgeat, tastes so much better than store bought stuff. I used the recipe from the Total Tiki app.
I think an orange wheel would work depending on what else you're using. I've used a sprig of mint, a lime wheel and some expensive ass cherries, and the lime wheel kinda disappeared into the mint. It just seemed like it needed a little bit more color to pop out from the mint.
@@BreezewayCocktailHour But the cool thing, the syrup they're in makes a good secret ingredient. I know Beachbum Barry said it's an old tiki bartender trick, and there are couple drinks in the Grog Log that use it. And I was messing with a Daiquiri recipe that used it, and it was just enough to make it a little different where you know that taste, but you don't know what it is.
A few recommended changes: 1. Use the Appleton 12 as the Jamaican Gold Rum 2. Use Cruzan Single Barrel vs. Cruzan Diamond 3. Use 1/4 oz Meyers and 1/'4 oz Coruba for Jamaican Dark Rum 4. Only use mint as the garnish This mixture propels the Donn the Beachcomber !937 Planter's Punch into the stratosphere...
Where exactly the Planter's Punch was invented I do not know. But there's a zero chance it was created to cool off plantation workers in Jamaica. First, alcohol is the worst thing to drink in very hot weather. It actually makes exposure worse (in cold weather too). Second, the idea that concern for the health of plantation workers in Jamaica was on the plantation owner's minds is absurd. Read up on the conditions of those workers. Though it did improve after emancipation, during slavery it was considered cheaper to work slaves to death and replace them (6 to 9 years life expectancy), than to spend money on medical care, proper food, or even sufficient sleep. It might have come from some plantation, but it would surely be a drink for the owner class, and not for workers. Oh, and the recipe is a heck of a lot simpler too. Lime, sugar, rum, water. (1, 2, 3, and 4 parts - in that order.)

My Right ear is loving this video!
1:20 that gets me every time "I don't know why she would give them rum" 😂😂
lol
So fun!! Thank you for entertaining us for 25 weeks! I’m ready for more ❤️🌺🗿🍋🍹
Larissa R. I'm glad you've enjoyed them, Larissa 😏😉
I will miss the clapping and "Lets go!". That's all you. Don't let the McBiffs of the world keep you down.
Totally agree with pinbot76. “You are you. Now, isn’t that pleasant?”

Yeah, we'll see how long my proclamation lasts 😏
This has been a great voyage through classic tiki cocktails. I am trying to come up with a few standards for my bar. This has been really helpful.
Mike Penhall thank you so much for the comment. I'm glad that we can explore these things together!

I’ve enjoyed the videos. Who’s the one person that has it out for you hitting the thumbs down on all your videos? Screw that person! Lol
Smashed that like button! Ive enjoyed making drinks in the tiki bar while watching this series all during covid. Keep it up!
Jeff Walther yessss... smash it!! 😂 thank you!

Nick Morton that's definitely a good one too!!

Really enjoying the videos and trying out the cocktails with my girlfriend!
Scott Gilbert “The Racing Realtor” awesome! Thanks for watching.
Orange County limes are always the best 👍👍👍🍹😎
Yesss.... Especially when they're free, from your backyard tree.

Sonny Soto thanks!! Yeah, it's paper… It looks great, but I really hate paper straws. 😂
Another great Video Spike, we need to try this drink, but I'll have to make my own Falernum, can't get it on Kauai.
Padraic ahh... well From what I understand, it's not hard to make. I should do a video on that too… How to make syrups.

Looking forward to the next 25 !!

Wade ah, good thinking. Expensive ass cherries!! Right??

This is one of my favorite tiki drinks !! 🤗
Flowerqt18 It's really so good
My opinion, garnish for the senses, sight and smell, if you can match ingredients to a garnish, start there and work your way up
Dale Woodall my sentiments precisely 👌🏻✨
Where did you get that shirt? I want one.
I can see you as a florest specialising in mint bouquets.
Craig Rainbird oooh... I like that.
Where do you get your bamboo straws?
Padraic I think I found them on Amazon.
I am not sure that I would be upset with an elaborate garnish. It’s like a snack to go with the drink. But aesthetically, it could be distracting.
Spike made a 2 1/2 Oz of rum cocktail, not 2 Oz.
I found this drink a bit too rummy (and small) for my taste. The small spicyness from the Ango and Falernum was interesting. I'll give it 75%.
Nice surge in subscribers.
2 cherries?? 1 or 3 ALWAYS

Its so weird having your voice just in one ear. Why'd you do that?
