The Daiquiri is a very old cocktail. It was created shortly after the Spanish-American War by an American mining engineer, whose mining operation was near the small town of Daiquiri, Cuba. It was also my grandmother's favorite summer cocktail
@@joshrose843 lmao as a Cuban it might be because it wasn’t really popular in the US until it was introduced there from Cuba and the word “daiquiri” is indo Cuban taino word but even if it was invented by him it’s still Cuban it was made there and became popular there
I just found your channel and it is great! As someone who just started getting into drinks and cocktails a few months ago, this is a big help. Keep it up! :)
Ok, made one last night and it was delicious. Nice balance... Only had one lime so invited neighbors only if they brought a lime . Needless to say, they were lined up outside. Cheers !
@@DrinkInDigital yes im sure but i prefer to keep this one simple and refreshing as it was intended in the original recipe, i created a new drink every one likes using simple syrup,vodka or rum and top off with coconut juice with pulp included then freeze it till it becomes a slushy, i also added some tropical juice a bit like maybe pineapple ,its inspired drink from those jungle juice illegal ones sold in new york lol
I think he's done this before😏 I had limes and bacardi sup, (made some ss) It was just pleasant, nothing earth shattering, but what a nice thing to sip.
There is a story behind this England sailor came to know about disease scurvy due to vit c deficiency but no one had knowledge so one scientist made statement of eating lemon and oranges So sailor use to drink lemon juice but the question came that u can not store them for long period as they spoil so sailor preserved the drink by adding rum sugar and water And we get this cocktail
I don't know if this would be seen but should a fresh lime be used or lime juice from the store?? and if it's a fresh lime should I just use fresh lime in all my cocktails??
Too much sugar to my taste, but that’s personal. I woud say 60/30/somewhat less then 15 (and even then the sweetness is more than enough.) Sweetness tends to overpower freshness. For the rest: love your contributions of my favorite bartender!
You can squeeze the limes fresh and the sugar syrup is a 1:1 (by weight) of sugar and water heated on the stove top... Here is a detailed guide: cocktailkit.com.au/how-to-make-sugar-syrup/
Completely up to you. I pre fine strain my citrus juices and my large ice cubes tend not to shard so I mostly single strained in the past… lately I double strain these drinks though.
That's essentially all a daiquiri is, if your using homemade limeade. If you're using storebrought it won't have fresh ingredients and won't taste as good. Either way, it's you're drink, make it how you want.
I want to become bartender but I don't know exact measurement of cocktails,when I watch many cocktails videos and measurements have been changed so I'm not able to understand and which cocktails measurements should I belive or not this is my doubt can you clarify it
There’s definitely a lot of variation in recipes - best to grab yourself a few classic cocktail books and read up... if you only grab one book then Gary Regan’s Joy of Mixology is great and features a lot of modern classic recipes (amzn.to/2JFQ1Ph) otherwise The Savoy Cocktail Book by Harry Craddock (amzn.to/2JrUpy2) has 750 recipes that are historically accurate... Otherwise you can just try a recipe and taste.. then alter it to how you like it and create balance with the flavours. Good luck!

That’s the “story” but he probably just stole what the locals were doing and told everyone he created it. It’s the American way haha

@@joshrose843LOL. Exactly my thoughts. I was about to write the same.
@@joshrose843 so what.
@@joshrose843 Unlikely, limes are coming from Asia and were brought to the Americas by Europeans.
Deffo the best cocktail man on TH-cam! No bs
🙏
Just found your channel. The videos are universally brilliant. All wheat and no chaff! Thanks so much!!
Cheers Paul and welcome to the channel!
This really does work anc makes a supremely smooth and well balanced drink.
Thank you Steve!
I just found your channel and it is great! As someone who just started getting into drinks and cocktails a few months ago, this is a big help. Keep it up! :)
Thanks Adam! Good to hear that you're enjoying the vids...will keep them up for an entire year!!
Love what you do man. Keep it up! You're one of the few dudes who actually shakes a cocktail right.
Cheers DeJure! I like to shake the hell out of it!
I usually just give the shaker to my nan....... yeah, parkinson
Theres actually a proper way of shaking a cocktail? I honestly didn't know that.
@@Melly16yr10 yup like this >
These are so good when you make it this way.
The ultimate clean and refreshing cocktail.
Ok, made one last night and it was delicious. Nice balance... Only had one lime so invited neighbors only if they brought a lime . Needless to say, they were lined up outside. Cheers !
One of my best TH-cam bar teacher ❤❤❤
Absolutely love a Daiquiri, looks delicious :)
One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen!
lime daquiry is very refreshing specially with fine grated or crushed ice ,makes it a while better experience
Try it with an aged rum for even more complexity!

Very nice you make this cocktail
I give you an idea for a video: original recipe of Hemingway daiquiri. Or how is made daiquiri in Cuba at El Floridita. Thank you for your work.
This is before his wife told him to smile while shaking.
Your videos have been a huge help for me. Thank you!
Thank you Darling!!!!
Can't go wrong with a classic Daiquiri. Cheers mate!
i love your channel
Super easy and well executed. Cheers! 🍸
Absolute classic with so many variations. Sub out the simple with another fruit syrup and you've got a ton of great cocktails
Love your videos!!
Thanks Mrs D!!
@@StevetheBartender_ No worries..they're super helpful!!! Great demos!
Looks delicious mate.
Classic
Bartender's handshake!
Do you know the YBS TH-cam crew? Brody moss in Australia?! Y'all should do a crossover episode. Love from Texas
I’m familiar with Brody’s channel - would love to do a trip!! 🙌
Good job guys 😍..
That's good 🍸
Volume's a bit quiet on the video mate but great cocktail. cheers.
YUMMY 😋
Very cool simple to follow videos I've subscribed now please keep putting up lots of videos
thank you mate very helpful videos
Most welcome!
U r awsome barman
Ernest Hemingway preferred his daiquiri double rum in it and being frozen.
I prefer Havana Club Anejo is that unusual? Or is it common to use darker rums? I prefer the flavour of Anejo over white rums.
What is there not to like about the video! I can taste it now.
Can’t go wrong with a classic Daiquiri!
Hello sir.. pls do a video on difernce between Rickey and Collins
Daiquiri is my favorite. I prefer to use a half an Oz of malibu as my sweetener
Nice!
I think he's done this before😏
I had limes and bacardi sup, (made some ss) It was just pleasant, nothing earth shattering, but what a nice thing to sip.
Not even of drinking age but i just enjoy watching people make things
Can I use lime juice like the yellow lime liqueur juice for this ? Or does it have to be fresh lime juice
Fresh lime only 👍
Can you do a taste comparison between the Gimlet and the Daiquiri?
Well shit I'm about to make this right now -- love the vid.
how did it go?
There is a story behind this
England sailor came to know about disease scurvy due to vit c deficiency but no one had knowledge so one scientist made statement of eating lemon and oranges
So sailor use to drink lemon juice but the question came that u can not store them for long period as they spoil so sailor preserved the drink by adding rum sugar and water
And we get this cocktail
Ahh the days when you weren't called out for not smiling when you shake 😅
Still an awesome video though. Cheers!
Woah! Dude... you didn’t give us the smile!!!
Made it with maple syrup instead of simple syrup, its a bit darker in colour but good!
Try the maple syrup with an aged rum it'll be even darker but way more complex!
That sounds awesome! Gotta try that!
New sub :) probably got this question 1M times but how do you make your 1/1 sugar sirup?
Long way: on the stove top.. short way: in a bottle with hot water and shake it like crazy... measure by weight ie. 1kg of water to 1kg of sugar... 😁
I love your wine
Can I put in garnish dried lime?
Sure!
Can you use Cachaça instead?
Hi Steve,how do you prepare the clasic martini?
I’ve uploaded a gin martini a while back, how do you like yours? th-cam.com/video/ApMR3IWYZHI/w-d-xo.html
I don't know if this would be seen but should a fresh lime be used or lime juice from the store?? and if it's a fresh lime should I just use fresh lime in all my cocktails??
Fresh lime is the way forward! The store bought stuff can be way too sharp and chemical!
elkay
Too much sugar to my taste, but that’s personal.
I woud say 60/30/somewhat less then 15 (and even then the sweetness is more than enough.)
Sweetness tends to overpower freshness.
For the rest: love your contributions of my favorite bartender!
What ratio sugar syrup are you using?
A 4/2/1 ratio is close to perfect we think!
how to make the fresh lime juice ande sugar surup o can buy it?
You can squeeze the limes fresh and the sugar syrup is a 1:1 (by weight) of sugar and water heated on the stove top... Here is a detailed guide: cocktailkit.com.au/how-to-make-sugar-syrup/
Are you not supposed to double strain into a glass with no ice?
Completely up to you. I pre fine strain my citrus juices and my large ice cubes tend not to shard so I mostly single strained in the past… lately I double strain these drinks though.
So its like a gimlet but with rum
wheres the smile :(
2:11 there
Classic Hemingway daiquiri
💚💚💚💚
just made this and its quite heavy on the rum??
Is it lazy to just add rum to some limeade and call it a day?
That's essentially all a daiquiri is, if your using homemade limeade. If you're using storebrought it won't have fresh ingredients and won't taste as good. Either way, it's you're drink, make it how you want.
Will you make me a drink if I visit you?
Kindly Mention name on screen also whatever u adding plz. Ingredients name..
I think i made a mistake with my Daiquiri IT was to sour, i used a fresh lime. I also used a 2:1 simple syrup could that be the mistake.
was it 2:1 more water than sugar? If so, thats the problem.
@@antdj2546 yes it was does it make that big of a difference
@@tommysmatchbook8509 You want to do it the other way around, with 2 sugar: 1 water
Yuuup
The Marrasquino was missing
What maraschino?
Bacardi has no funk. You could replace it with a Jamaican rum for improved taste.
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! 👍
I think Barcardi Gold is interesting enough for a daiquiri, but who can argue with a Jamaican rum?
Can I call that a Bacardi sour?
What?! What?! Okay!
Dude, is this a whisper challenge?
I don’t get it..?
@@StevetheBartender_ - Volume is too low, Lil John
thanks i think daiquiri using triple sec
Basically a Margarita with Rum lol
Exactly
AKA caipirinha
Basically yes

Steve the Bartender thanks brother for clarifying to me👍
The subtitles are showing thomas vibrator 😂
Haha!
It feels like a more classier version of a mojito
It feels like a rum marguerita
With gin = Gimlet
Rum = Daiquiri
Quem venho pelo elkay404??
uhhhh...on those drinks?
and you aren't
What??? You dont smile in older videos while you shake???
Reinforces my theory that Kat is the one reminding him to smile😋
there is no garnish? You put the butt end of cheater tin that was sitting on a counter on top of the fresh ice in the mixing tin ? Not very hygienic.
Correct, I chose not to garnish. Yes, I put my tin on my clean bench… 🤦♂️
Poor sound quality
Seems fine to me...?
@@StevetheBartender_ cool. But u should take care of that as we are the listener and sound quality matters most to us.
What........that is not a real daiquiri I also add Cointreau & Triple sec........Much better !
Interestingly you're version is more similar to a 'daisy' like the Margarita
you guys in Australia completely forgot how to speak english :(
and the sound quality is very bad
