Passionfull Daiquiri Recipe
2 oz Doctor Bird Rum
3/8 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
3/8 oz Vanilla Syrup
1 oz Lime Juice
1 Dash Hellfire Shrub
Can't wait for this beauty tomorrow!! Yes!! 🙂
I think Smith & Cross is goin to be my favourite for this super gorgeous cocktail! Tonight I have a terrific Irish Whisky classic cocktail on the menu for my husband and I for St. Patrick's Day but tomorrow this beauty that you have made is going to be our weekend choice for a fabulous and super delicious powerful cocktail! I can't wait! 🙂From one super smart woman to another, Riley, you rocked this and of course you usually do! It's great to see these rums compared. I love how our palettes develop over time! I just recently had a chance to finally try Dr. Bird and I really want to see what it's like in this beauty! They are all terrific but I think I have to go with Smith & Cross as my choice for this cocktail! But of course until I try each rum I won't know for sure right?! Great video! I learned so much! Super interesting rums to profile Carl and Riley!! Love that funk!! Each rum has a lot to offer. Hey I wonder what choice Ann will make?! She loves Dr. Bird as I recall! I want to try all of these and Javier makes great points about using Dr. Bird! Cheers you two!! Love your videos!! They are so entertaining and fun and I learn a lot and that's so awesome!! Have a fab weekend!! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Anything on the menu for tonight for St. Patrick's Day? Matt from The Whisky Nerd and Kevin and Vino have some awesome ideas and I bet Ann does too!! I haven't seen her video yet vide yet but I can't wait! :-)
Thanks for the kind words. Riley does rock!!
We are both working a lot of hours this weekend. Hotel bar is going to be busy bands today and tomorrow. So probably nothing to special . LOL Maybe an Irish Old Fashioned.
@@carl_busch I absolutely hear you! It's such a busy weekend if you both work in the bar/restaurant industry. I think an Irish Old Fashioned sounds perfect!! Love them nice and boozy!! Cheers to you both!! 🙂
RILEY!!! CARL!!! I need a S&C passionfruit daq NOW!!!! I'm sure all are good, but y'alls reaction says it all!!!! Great video!!! CHEERS!!!!
Right on Tim!!! I have some amazing excellent quality frozen passion fruit from a great source locally and I am thrilled because it's way too early here in Vancouver to be in season! I hope you are doing well my friend!! Happy St. Patrick's Day!! 🙂
100% you need to make this. It will blow you away.
@@christinecamley CHRISTINE!!! How are you!!! I'm doing great!!! NCAA tournament time, so I'm very happy !!! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!!!!
@@TheSpiritoftheCocktail Yay!! Sounds so awesome Tim!! Enjoy those games with some lovely cocktails!! Cheers!! 🙂
Fun video! I am a jamaican rum fanatic and especially love pot still jamaicans. If you don't have it or haven't tried it, Id recommend getting Plantation Xaymaca, Hampden 8yr (def on the pricey side), and Worthy Park 109. All great additions to what you have now.
We love Plantation Xaymaca and I am looking at getting the other two soon.
That Hampden is the next Jamaican I plan to buy/try, really looking forward to it
@@CinHotlanta it’s honestly one of my favorite single bottles. I can sip it neat, old fashioned, Mai Tai, other cocktails. Just wish it wasn’t so pricey.
Ok, speaking straight to my heart here! I'd say you have three very, very different profiles here. Dark, and gold. All very good rums. That Dr. Bird is my very favorite rum. That muscatel cask really comes through for sure. It's a different kind of funk, not a banana funk or carmely, very fruity from that cask! Cinnamon syrup and Dr. Bird are made for each other. I agree with Riley, Dr is not a great starter rum. These rum's though, all very nice and great in different ways. Can't go wrong with a Hamiltons or the Smith & Cross though. Funny, on my last live, Vino said that I (me) didn't think S & C is very funky. And everyone else does. I have some rums that put S & C to shame with Hogo. But I still love it. I would go Dr. Bird first, S & C second and pull that oz's back a bit. PS. Have you tried the Hendricks Flora Adora Yet. I just ordered 2 bottles because Oregon doesn't have it at all!
We just got a bottle a couple days ago. Haven't cracked it open yet.
Rum is such a fun category. Can't wait to try them all 😁
I’ll be excited to hear what you think of it. I’m hoping for a “mid summer” like gin! 😃
I've got just one word to describe this cocktail, this daq is frigging AWESOME!!!
It really is!!
Love me some Hamilton JPSB! Smith & Cross is delicious as well. I don't think I've ever come across Doctor Bird here in NYC. It doesn't even show up on Drizly when I look to see if anyone can deliver it to me. Maybe they don't distribute here? Regardless, it's on my to-buy list for sure. Cheers guys!
That's odd. But ya keep your eyes open.
Carl should have said "you have 2 correct" after the daiquiri tasting 🙂 I just found your channel and am now browsing through the videos, looks promising. What I wouldn't give to get the Doctor Bird or Hamilton rums here in Europe. Greetings from Finland!
Greetings Finland 😁 We have to drive over 3 hours to get either of those bottles.
Great video! I have the Hamilton and Smith and Cross, haven't had Dr. Bird yet. If you come across Plantation Xaymaca, you should give that a try. Not as big and bold as the ones you have, but delicious and flavor profile much more accessible for a lot of people. Great in a Mai Tai!
We love that plantation.
We love the tobacco notes in the Xaymaca! He made a smoked daiquiri with it and called it a Humidor Daiquiri.
Love 'em. Just picked up a Worthy Park single Estate Jamaican Pots still rum. Such creamy molasses and thick oily feel on the mouth. So good.
I'm looking forward to grabbing that soon
@@carl_busch you may or may not go back to S&C
@@carl_busch BTW what was the spec for the drink?
@@stephane.foisy.186 Passionfull Daiquiri Recipe
2 oz Doctor Bird Rum
3/8 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
3/8 oz Vanilla Syrup
1 oz Lime Juice
1 Dash Hellfire Shrub
FIRST?!?!?!?! ===============>Ya MON!!!!!
I see what you did.
Cheers! You two should check out a Siboney from the Easy Tiki book, if you haven't already. So good. It shares a few ingredients from this drink and I can see the other rum needed between you both.
Siboney
1.5 oz Aged Jamaican rum (preferably Dr. Bird)
0.5 oz Plantation Stiggins' Fancy pineapple rum
1.0 oz Pineapple juice
.75 oz Lime juice
0.5 oz Passion fruit syrup
0.5 oz Rich Demerara syrup
Add ice, shake for 10, strain to coupe.
I'll check it out! That drink sounds great.
Congrats on the layup!
I panicked on my comment... My wife was coming down the steps and I thought we were leaving for a day of disorderly drinking, but she just wanted to give me an update... I love Doctor Bird and Smith and Cross... Was thinking about batching this up for a party tonight, but I don't want to waste either on any deadbeats that might be there... Maybe we'll mix it up when we get home or just have it tomorrow.
Can't have those deadbeats having good cocktails. 😁
Wish I could get my hands on some Dr. Bird! Did you have to order it?
I made a S&C daiquiri a while back and used Gnome's hibiscus syrup as the sweetener...It was awesome! Hmmm...I want one of those now, or one of these passion fruit daiquiris.
We actually bought in Minneapolis when we were visiting a couple months ago. I will have to look at his recipe.
Doctor Bird is the KING!
It is so so good.
You’re all doing a disservice to the rum lifestyle.
BUT, Doctor Bird is glorious.
It’s like Smith & Cross in that it’s a fancy, overproof, lightly aged Jamaican rum.
But it’s a very different flavor profile, with more mango, dessert flavors, and a bit of floral.
It makes the best Jamaican Dark n Stormy.
I’d keep both on my bar shelf, for different reasons.
We appreciate your feedback. It was our first time trying Jungle Bird so our pallet was not a refined as yours is today.
But hey we are trying to always be better
We also don't live a run lifestyle. 😉 And just tell people what we think about rum and other spirits
Why does everyone describe banana smell as being “funky”? I don’t get it. Bananas smell wonderful
I believe the funky smell is wonderful too. Maybe more like ripe bananas?
