The Educated Barfly and Steve the Bartender are two of the biggest cocktail youtubers from what I’ve seen. They make really instructive tutorials on all kinds of cocktails.
Those guys are legends!
I'll have to take a look!
This might be my favorite episode. The history of The Hurricane, you being you, no guests that take away from the good vibes. Seen it a bunch of times before, but well done, Spike.
Ordered some straws from Surfside Sips.
So many hurricane recipes. I haven’t had access to fassionola but it is Passionfruit forward so I’ve just used Passionfruit purée and add a touch of grenadine for color. I do a 50/50 mix of Appleton 12 and Pusser’s Gunpowder Proof. I find Smith & Cross to be kind of bitter but I can see how that might work in this.
Brings back so many memories- best Hurricanes in NOLA was at the Gazebo down by the French Market. Great episode.
This might be my fav episode so far. Nice to see you getting into it. And by it I mean the rum haha 😂 so when are you releasing some tiki crack pipe merch haha
Oliver Spicer 😂😂😂
Totally on board for a "Tiki Mugs" episode! Always loved them and just beginning to collect
I would love a DIY episode where Spike shows how he made his lamps and other stuff.
2 DRUNKARD COPS
Two year late here, but anyway: I made my own Fassionola. A little more fuss than other flavoured syrups, but completely manageable. I combine blueberries, diced mango, strawberries, pineapple juice, a couple of teaspoons of hibiscus syrup and cane sugar and let that sit overnight with a couple of stirrings once in a while. Then strain it and add passion fruit puré. Done. Works wonder in a Hurricane.
Sounds delicious.
Oh boy you really missed a quote there. Rum was flowing like the Mississippi River that ran through it.
1 drink evening.....4oz? I need to slow down apparently. Thank you for the tip with the BG Reynolds Fassinola Syrup. Just ordered some to give this a whirl. By the way, your back drop is so sweet. This was a great video and I subbed to see more.
Thanks! My backdrop is actually a full home bar.
@@BreezewayCocktailHour I have a bar in my basement that need a face lift real bad. I would love to do the Tiki thing just not real sure where to start. The mask and things are probably a bit pricey so maybe one thing at a time.
Just found your channel. Great job. I'd love to see one on glassware.
Thanks for showing the straw, gotta get one. Absolutely would buy your Zombie and Cocktail glass sets. There's a Hula Girls shirt your rocking in an old Justin Scarred video classic black with you bands logo in white. Definitely would buy one.
Aaron Francis cool! Thanks so much for the feedback.
Another great video, Spike
Padraic thanks!!
Thanks for the shoutout Spike! I’m just wondering HOW you know it looks like a crack pipe?
Hmmmmmm........🙄
Surfside Sips hahahahhahaa..... 🤷🏻♂️
love the straw though!! It's so much better than Smooshy!
Mahaloz!!!! no way better than to kick off the weekend with nearly 6o
z of Rum. Loved the show !!!
The Kon Tigo Tiki Bar Tiki seriously 😂😵
This was a fun episode! I went to New Orleans for my sister's 30th bday, we tried many of their iconic drinks, including the Hurricane at Pat O'Briens. I want to try your version though with the BG Reynolds syrup. Sounds really good!
Made this recipe last night. Very good. Remade it today, but in a blender with crushed ice and xanthan gum. That worked out so well!
Thanks a bunch for this video...you've inspired me to try making hurricanes at home...ordered the fassionola from BG Reynolds and some of those awesome straws...Tiki On!!
lol that's so awesoem about saving the thing from falling. i always do that when shit is falling i put my foot out to break the fall but i've never thought about trying to kick it bakc up haha
caivs hahahaha
Another fun episode! Definitely glassware and black Breezeway shirts!! Ordered some straws as well!
Muchas Gacias!
Wow great tiki bar. Envy here...
“Like a crack pipe” LOL
Just found your channel. Love it. I think another run of glassware would be awesome…I dig the Zombie & Cocktail glass sets.
Hahahaha.... thanks for finding us! More Zombie glasses are on the way. Stay tuned 👌
@@BreezewayCocktailHour awesome!
Great episode! Now I am on a quest to find some fassinola on this side of the ocean! Oh and I’m game for some merch if you ship to the Netherlands 😄
I ship the straws to the Netherlands🤙 www.surfsidesips.com
The Educated Barfly is an excellent channel.
Yeah, we have since become buddies!
Dear Matt: 1. My top 3 guests; Mom, Sugar Pepper Jones, Jasmine Chiswell. 2. Glassware; yup, please. 3. T-shirts; both in black and white please. Can wear the white tees outside during the summer without spontaneously combusting. Thank you Matt, once again, your episode was fun to watch, edutaining, and a great way to start a weekend. Cheers my dear friend. Tony, EPTX.
Tony Venegas hahaha... thanks for your feedback, Tony!
Fairly new subscriber to your channel and loving it, especially as Summer is upon us here in the Northeast. One ask would be that at some point towards the end you do a close up of the finished drink, as I like to keep photos of presentation for my bartending endeavors at home.
I really dig your glasses. fun episode too!
Thanks!
Hi Spike, could you do an affiliate link for BG Reynolds next time? I’m going to buy some fashionola but would love to get you some digital credit. Keep up the channel, this is great content.
Sunshine world with Clara! Thanks! They never offered an affiliate link, so I don't know if they do that or not.
The code still works. Cool straws. 😎
Would love a mug to go with the glasses.
DAVID GULICK rad, I'm working on it!
@@BreezewayCocktailHour tell us when!
Just ordered a couple straws!
YES!👍
Nice video, now I need to track down some fassinola. One correction, Fat Tuesday is the end of Mardi Gras, the following day being Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season. Keep up the good work!
I’ve already had a couple of beers then watched this and made a Hurricane. Weeee!
Bro I love your whole setup, I started doing Tiki cocktails myself and got a minute little bar cart. I was wondering where I could get that small Knife you use in all your videos to chop the fruit? I love that thing!
f2343 I have no idea where I got the knife… Maybe Amazon? Just try a search for white ceramic knife.
Fassionola is an awesome ingredient. I really love the Cocktail & Sons but it is only available a couple times a year in small batches. The fassionola that is available these days from BGR, Cocktail & Sons, etc, is likely quite a bit better than that used in the 30s and 40s. That stuff was described as being very much like Hawaiian Punch flavor, super sweet and artificial. I mean, that also sounds delicious in a gross way, but this new stuff is even better and without the gross part.
Nathan Robinson hahaha... crazy! Thanks for the insight, Nathan, I always respect your opinion on this stuff! Truly. 👌🏻
Loving the episodes! What camera do you use to film your episodes if you don’t mind me asking?
Patrick Bacon I have two Fuji XT-3 cameras
Hey Spike, I'm from just outside of New Orleans and would love to hook you up with a proper Pat O's hurricane glass.
Looks like I'm gonna order some BG reynolds fassionola
Juan Hernandez it's mighty tasty
He may not be tiki but BB King always gets my love
I’m gonna order some fashionola this week...🌴🗿🌴
Matt Strickland it's crazy delicious. Tell BG that I sent ya!
Yes to a mug and/or glasses. A Breezeway hurricane glass, even?
Hamo love that idea
You should check out Jonathan English fassionola. You can buy it on eBay. I prefer it over the BG stuff. Great video!
Where do you get the shirts?
They're almost all vintage. I've been collecting for 20 years. But try eBay, Etsy, estate sales, antique malls, tiki events...
I like a huuricane but when I think about the drinks of New Orleans that can have official claim I always think of a sezerac or one of those soft serve daquiri places where you bring in your own gallon jug to fill up.
I know it's not real deal daquiri but I get nostalgic
I have a crazy Pat O’Brien Hurricane Story but who doesn’t.
That drink will send you into orbit. Total black hole of forgetfulness after a couple of those. I love New Orleans.
😂🙌🏼
Can always use a good old-fashioned glass for cocktails....
Your description of the pina colada! 😂
KB 😬😂🤷🏻♂️
I never knew that the hurricane glass was related to the hurricane lamp.
Brian Stone either did I! And I guess my glass isn't a traditional 'Hurricane' glass. The real ones look even more similar to the lamps!
We drink those at Brunch in NoLA 🤪 Gotta be a professional to live there lol! They also make the Cyclone. Both will destroy you 🍹
Glassware, Tiki, and shirts!!!!
If you could please try to replicate the tiki drink called “ Malekula “. I’ve had this at different bars but the best by far was from Tike Bar in Costa Mesa. 1700 Placentia I think. Thanks in advance if this is in your wheel house.
Edwin Stiles really? You got a great drink from the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa?? That's shocking. I've never heard of the Malekula. 🤔
@@BreezewayCocktailHour Yeah, nice place with good cheap drinks. I’m on social security so it’s a plus. Although I’m older than dirt I’m relatively new to all things Tiki so if you have recommendations, I’m all ears.
Rum was flowing like champagne.
Hahahaha...
I believe Fat Tuesday is the end of Mardi gras. On a Tuesday because it falls befor ash Wednesday ,the first day of lent.
Exactly
I'd be all over the glassware. I don't care about mugs so much, but glassware all day.
Nathan Robinson rad. Thanks, dude!
Appleton 12 is indeed awesome, but I don't buy it anymore. Too expansive for mixing. I go for the 8 for mixing and the 15 for sipping.
Sounds like a good plan
The only bottle of anything that I poured down the drain was Smith & Cross. Caustic poison.
Go to Laitte’s for best NOLA hurricane
Rum was flowing like the rivers of Babylon.

😂🤷🏻♂️
I know a guy that does tees....he plays bass and steel guitar.....maybe you’ve heard of him?
Matt Strickland hahahahahaha.... I feel like I know that guy 🤔
Brother.....I don't know about the straw, but man....WHERE did you get that incredible shirt?
Hahaha... I have no idea.... Usually they're from vintage stores
@@BreezewayCocktailHour Lovin the shirt and the channel....keep it up, Spike!!
I want that shirt
How 'bout glassware AND mugs?
Mike Cheeseman looking like what might happen...
Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Mardigras season.
Dapper Dan R oh really?? I need to figure this whole Marci Gras thing out. I thought the calendar said that Fat Tuesday was coming up.
@@BreezewayCocktailHour yes it is and the next day is Ash Wednesday and that starts the beging of the lent season. Mardi Gras follows the catholic tradition of lent. Usually the parades and parties being 2 weeks before Fat Tuesday. At midnight on Fat Tuesday is the taking back the streets by the New Orleans police dept. The Mardi Gras season is tons of fun and something everyone should experience
Dapper Dan R yeah, I've always wanted to go!
Black tshirts would be cool.
the rum was flowing like the magma from a volcano!
In French, "Mardi" is "Tuesday," and "Gras" is "fat"
The modern hurricane at pat o’s is not very good. It taste like cough syrup and rum. It looks like cough syrup too lol maybe you could do the New Orleans hand grenade in the future.
Pretty costy selection of Rums for a Hurricane but good approach
Adrian Wahl I figure if you're gonna make a cocktail that is thought of as a tourist drink, you might as well bump it up into something a little more elevated. 👌🏻✨
@@BreezewayCocktailHour true story. I made the original recipe (with passion fruit syrup) last Saturday and used Rum-Bar Gold. Turned out very well.
Might as well live while you are alive.
Spike, perhaps I've missed it in the past episodes, but did you ever do a mai tai episode? IMHOP it is the most butchered drink I've come across.
Rob In The 805 I totally agree about that… And I had to look, but I have never done an official MaiTai episode. Maybe that'll be my 50th show??
Melamine glasswear for poolside cocktails
That glass is called a thistle glass not a hurricane glass.
Drunkest places in America... Sounds like places where we Finns send our children to learn :-D
Stop making me buy more stuff. But t-shirts would be cool.
Black shirts, mugs and glassware both..
John Kelly hahahaha... all the things! Thank you!
the drunkest place ever is Florida key west.. its 9am and folks walking around with pinna colada glass..
Fat Tuesday is on Tuesday Dude. Feb 12 is Friday.
Lord Garth details.... 🙄😂
Wait... this is what I found on the interwebs.... "Fat Tuesday 2021 is on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 (in 4 days)."
@@BreezewayCocktailHour 🤣
Great, my like brought you to 666
That Dude wasn't wrong although I went south 2 years early so maybe he's a little off the mark.
dude, get a proper chefs knife, it will be much easier to cut that orange :D
It took you 20 minutes out of my life to make this simple ass drink???
Pat O's has terrible Hurricanes. It's where all of the tourists go to get a garbage mix. Lafitte's Blacksmith is so much better.
Fat Tuesday ENDS Mardi Gras (pro tip: Mardi Gras is French for "fat Tuesday"). that said, the Universe likes you - otherwise, the 'antique mall/lamp" story would have had an unhappy ending. set your sights higher - Demand a proper Mai Tai. DEMAND a proper Daquiri. FYI - the 'tin' is a Boston Shaker. you ARE NOT a bartender, and I am NOT a guitarist - but you are a better 'mixer' and raconteur than I am a guitarist.
Hahahahahahaha.... Thank you, Chris.
@@BreezewayCocktailHour de nada amigo... and Mahalo bruddah
Appleton and smith and cross while delicious rums are not dark rum.
You may be right about the Appleton, but Beachbum Berry classifies Smith and Cross as Dark Rum
Doesnt matter.
🤣
