Livio, the caliber of guests on your show never cease to amaze me. Your channel is a gift to our niche. I’ve never made a daiquiri with sugar. Can’t wait to try it that way. Great video. Cheers!
On paper the daiquiri is so simple - rum, lime, sugar - yet it really comes down to technique and quality ingredients. Livio, thank you for hosting a craftsman to show us the way. It is always helpful to see how the pros make the classics. Cin cin.
You always get the good guests on your show... this is great, love this! I'm a huge Daiquiri Guy, my friends make fun of me because they say it's a girls drink, they are so stupid, they don't know what they are missing. I think this one everybody would love, it's not blended and doesn't look foo foo like... I always have the blended, kind of slushy but this is how many of the places make them here. Love the cocktail tips. Great video, love it!
Great guest. His shaking style made me realize I've been using my arms too much. Looks like it's all in the wrist. Also, I've been trying to figure out what white rum to get, and now I know!
Good catch! The fling of the wrist helps ensure that the product inside the shaker is rotating and not just going up and down. Cheers, and thank you for watching.
What an interesting and entertaining vlog about Mixology this has been, do keep up the great and helpful work over there too! Stay safe, stay connected~
We have no shame in saying that we're on Team Daquiri. And the addition of sugar -- could totally see where that would take it the next level. Another awesome one, as always!
I appreciate that. So much work goes behind being in the same room with people that live in other states or countries. I used to be an IBA judge and competitor so I know when when I see one :). It’s how he picks up the bottle of Bacardi and presents it with one hand under it and one hand on the neck; He mixed the juice with a stirrer in the little carafe before pouring it in (that’s so IBA). He emptied the ice that was chilling his glass at the time he was adding ice into his shaker (and not after the drink is shaken). On the first drink he had no choice because he stirs the sugar and the lime so he has to put those ingredients first. But on the second drink, where he had a choice, he poured the base spirit first (vs cheapest ingredient) which is also an indicator (lightest ingredient first). His shaking style, and his overall posture is so IBA. Many of these techniques have changed even within the Aibes/IBA but if you were trained 25 years ago those are habits that you don’t lose.
A simple Daquiri is the best, and Rum is cheap, makes it even better. I prefer a daquiri with demerara, my wife enjoys the Lavender version from Royal Caribbean.
So are you more of a Daiquiri or a Hemingway Daiquiri kind of person?
I LOVE a "regular" Daq!!! So simple to make, and so many Rum choices!! I need to get better with grapefruit juice in my cocktails....
Hemingway but both are fantastic
Has to be the Classic Daiquiri, so simple, so refreshing
Hero Status. My favorite Master Your Glass by two remarkable people. What a privilege to know them.
It’s a privilege to know you too Joey P ❤️
Daiquiri's are fantastic. There is so much you can do with them. And if its properly made it just hits the spot.!!!
Agreed David. If you make it right it’s irresistible.
I have to agree with Julio. The Daiquiri is a perfect recipe, a perfect way to enjoy rum.
So true! Thank you for supporting the channel.

Great episode. Love that you have these legends on.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed! Have an awesome weekend!
I have always wanted to meet Julio. Seems like a great guy. I have talked to him on Facebook. Love the push up videos.
Thanks for watching. Julio is cool. He does the push ups and a Daiquiri every where he goes.
This was fun!!! I will need to try the lime and sugar technique!
Thanks for watching Stephane. It’s such a cool way to Malle this classic and it’s so delicious!
Definitely the traditional daiquiri for sure for me. Well done guys!
Thank you! Hard to beat a traditional Daiquiri! Have a great weekend.
Not a traditional daq if it doesn't use lime cordial.
Great guest Livio 😎
Thanks Chappy! I appreciate you stopping by!

Thank you for checking out my video. You’re spot on and your friends don’t know what they are talking about :)
Julio has such a class! Always so inspirational as Mentor Papa! Those 2 cocktails are fantastic classic, Thank you y’all From Honolulu!
Thanks for stopping by! I totally agree! His cocktails are delicious and his style is perfect. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for watching! We are definitely on the same team and that was the best Daiquiri I ever had. Cheers!
Julio is great and looks like a younger George Clooney
Lol. He sure does! Thanks for watching
Grazie Livio. I love the variety of guests and their stories. I'm curious, what gave it away that Julio was IBA trained?
I appreciate that. So much work goes behind being in the same room with people that live in other states or countries.
I used to be an IBA judge and competitor so I know when when I see one :).
It’s how he picks up the bottle of Bacardi and presents it with one hand under it and one hand on the neck; He mixed the juice with a stirrer in the little carafe before pouring it in (that’s so IBA).

Very nice variations! Thanks for commenting
That bottle of Bacardi was a limited bottling.
Bacardi should really bring it back, I think they can do it tomorrow if they wanted.
I really agree. It’s a beautiful bottle. Cheers!
First
Well done!!! Thank you!
He made a classic daq without using lime cordial.......what a fraud.
lol. Such a fraud
Well done gents, Julio is one of my favorites and a cigar lover 😁😎
Thanks for watching Mike. I never had such a great Daiquiri.
