I am hoping to see the life come back to this channel. It's some of my favorite content and it would be a shame to see it fade away. Keep up the amazing work.
Passionate home cocktail maker. The classic daiquiri was the drink I first practiced on, and is still one of the most requested drinks still when my mates are around for a party!🍸🍸
Amazing, we always try to make more and more complex mixes and stuff but forget what got us started and the beauty of the basics. I made a cocktail inspired by a margarita which I call the Atitlan It's the following : 4 parts Mezcal 2 parts blue Curaçao 2 parts lime juice Couple dashes agave syrup Couple dashes of mango infused simple syrup (or mango puree) Shaken over ice, strained into a martini glass and garnished with mint and pineapple leaves
Another lovely video, my friend. This past summer, however, I was going dry in an effort to cut back my habits after a horrendous 2020 (and early '21), so I didn't watch this to avoid the temptation. But now that my "dry run" is over, I think I'll be paying a visit to the liquor store soon enough for my favorite rum so I can enjoy a long-overdue daiquiri. Cheers!
Last year I had no basil therefore our rosemary did great. So I tried a little twist on the Gin Basil Smash. I decided to use the Needle Blackforest Gin (it uses spruce branches as a special ingredient) and it fits perfect. Hope you like it: 1 rosemary branch 20ml sugar syrup 30ml lemon juice 50ml Gin give it a hard shake ;)
Got a cocktail recipe, might be an old one but love this one. 2 oz Plantation Original dark Double aged Rum 1 oz Semi Rich Demerara syrup 4 dashes Angustura orange bitters 5 dashes Peychauds bitters Mix in mixing glass w minimal dilution. Garnish and express w fat orange peal
My Subscriber cocktail for you. Bajan Mojito: 60ml golden Mount gay rum 20ml lime juice 15ml agave nectar mint leaves Ginger ale Lime wedge Put some ice cubes in glass with mint, lime juice and agave and stir/lightly muddle with spoon. Add rum, little stir again. Top with ginger ale and garnish with lime wedge and sprig of mint. That's how I like it anyway. Give it a go.
Thank you for sharing your gift! You are always inspiring me! My three most popular drinks: #1 dexterous Key lime pie; 2 ounces but net scotch whiskey, 2 ounces fresh lime juice, 1 ounce agave nectar. Shaken over ice with four large mint leaves. Double strained into a chilled Tumbler glass and garnished with a shortbread cookie. #2 the Soylent green martini; 3 ounces vodka, 1 ounce extra dry vermouth, muddled with four green grapes and a half peeled kiwi, shaking over ice and fine strained into a martini glass garnish with four frozen green grapes. #3 The Woman; 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce pomegranate juice, 1 ounce peach schnapps, 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice. Shaken over ice, strained into a martini glass and garnished with pomegranate fruit.
I've been a long time subscriber. Can't emphasize how informative, entertaining and well composed the videos are but the bloopers really keep me coming back. I cracked up when your tin came apart -- thank you for that! haha. You know, there is a lot of subtlety to a Cuba Libre; deceptively simple yet many type of spices can be muddled, infused, floated not to mention the countless cola varieties. Broad appeal but infinitely diverse.
The way you broke down everything was fantastic, I never appreciated the science of a daiquiri and I loved learning all about it! Never knew about shaking until it starts to get frosty, I'll add that technique in!! Thank you, great video!!
I've got a subscriber cocktail for you: I used to really like making a light cocktail with 1oz Cocchi Vermouth de Torino, 3/4oz cold process Strawberry Shrub, dash of peychauds bitters. Built in a port glass over ice and stirred. Topped with soda and garnished with an expressed lime twist. I was always sad that lower abv, refreshing cocktails never sold when I was bartending.
You remind me of my uncle who was the head chemist at a leading perfume manufacturer (5?), Cocktails are more than a bit of fun (they should always hold fun in highest regard), but a delight to the smell and taste. As an ex Londener I find you a delight to watch perform you chemistry...
What a wonderful and simply cocktail to enjoy ! I love blending rums in my daiquiris and adding a layer of freshness by splitting the citrus juice in 2/3 parts lemon to 1/3 part grapefruit juice! Here's my twist on this beloved cocktail: 40 ml Rhum Vieux Agricole (Clement is my go-to) 20 ml Jamaica rum (a funky one such as Smith and cross) 20 ml fresh lemon juice 10 ml fresh grapefruit juice 2'5 teaspoons of white sugar (I prefer not to add any more dilution) Use a barspoon to mix the sugar with the citrus juices first, then add the rums and shake hard until really cold! (Those rums tend to be higher in proof, so I like to go hard in my shake to low the proof!) Thanks for your content! Salud! 🥂
Always great videos - once you get to know your rum favorites for daiquiris its a delight to showcase them with different specs to friend’s of the home bar. - cheers
Like the new format! But that by no means that previous ones are bad, I would say it depends of the drink needs improvement/modifications or not, and for a classic like Daiquri, it is also nice to have you explain in depth why a bartender would do that!
STOP LEAVING US HANGING!!!! Man this content is good, on so many levels and I love all the videos as a whole. Miss seeing you in my recent video, keep them coming : )
It was nice to finally see you drink one. I love your videos but man you make these fantastic drinks and then set them on the bar top and move to the next drink. Some times the reaction is better than the actual making of the drink. Just by watching you take a sip I could tell how good that daiquiri was. Cheers!!
My humble entry for viewer cocktails. The Long Cold Kiss 45ml Bourbon 22.5ml Ginger Vodka 22.5ml Iced Tea (black, unsweetened) 22.5ml Lemon Juice 15ml Simple Syrup (2:1) 2 dashes of Orange Bitters Shake over ice and serve up in a Nick and Nora. Garnish with the lemon peel.
I’m so sorry and please don’t judge me, but I’ve never had a proper daiquiri, yes I’ve had the frozen varieties but not the classic daiquiri, I will be making this over the weekend. Next time I’m in London I need to pop in for a drink so that i have a something to gauge against. Love this channel btw and please keep up the great work.
No judgements here! Everyone is at different stages of their cocktail journey!! There's plenty of classics I've never tried, but that's one of the most exciting things about the cocktail world is discovering new favorites and visiting old standards.
I’m no longer a Daiquiri virgin, I’ve followed Ruairi’s recipe and method to the letter and I’m a huge fan, so refreshing. I can see why you can’t have one sip from a Daiquiri eh mate😉
I like to make my daiquiri with Bacardi Razz. It gives just a bit more sweetness and I like the raspberry fruity hints. Sometimes I even like to use Cinnamon infused simple syrup, instead of the basic one. It is really fun how diverse this classic can be made.
I have a great cocktail called a danalanaslingslong (pronounces Dana-Lana-sling-slong). It is as follows: 25ml simple syrup 25ml lemon juice 2 dashes of peychauds bitters 10ml of Pernod or absinthe 20ml of sweet vermouth 60ml of London dry gin Shaken over ice and served in a rocks glass. No garnish required
One struggle I've been having is making a ginger juice that is spicy enough but doesn't require me purchasing a juicer haha. And I really don't want to have to buy a bottle of Laphroaig to make one cocktail either haha
Video was great, and production quality has really improved. One small suggestions - Please include the recipe in the description, at least your favorite one. I usually save the links for later use when I want to try it, but I don't feel like going over the whole video again just to get the recipe. I'd guess I'm not the only one, and when you have your own version, it's not like I can get it from somewhere else.
Dear Ruairi and Team, The work you do is great. Thank you for all the episodes! Perfect taste, beautiful cocktails and massive amount of the knowledge. The next cocktail I'd want to see an episode about is Singapore Sling. I think it's a great drink but there're so much recipes, that I just need your opinion and maybe some inspiration what else may I do to make that stuff b*oody good! Greetings from Poland! Waiting for the next episode :)
I have an entry for the viewers cocktails: The Bittersweet Sour • 40 ml aged rum (Havanna Espacial or 7 years should do) • 30 ml sweet vermouth (I use Martini Riserva Rubino) • 20 ml Campari • 10 ml simple syrup (1:1 by weight, so probably use 12-13 ml) • 25 ml lemon juice • 2 dashes of aromatic bitters Shake and (double) strain into coupe glass. Garish with some nicely cut orange peel or (if you have it) a kumquat on the rim.
I had an amazing cocktail that a bartender made up for me. It basically tasted like calpol 🤤 it had cointreau, bitters and topped with soda. I never quite got it right thought. Please try make the Adult Calpol
As usual, brilliant content, good, honest and practical information, would you be able to give us some tips for setting up a home bar, what would you say are the must haves and most used boozes...but keeping it cost effective?
I absolutely love your videos, and learning a lot from you! We're preparing to open a bar in a few months, and right now working on a cocktail menu. What would be your list of must-have cocktails? It would be great if you'd make a video about it! Cheers!
I always prefer a dark rum, typically an Appleton signature, when it comes to making my daiquiris. Have also used plantation pineapple before which gives a twist. In terms of sugar, I have tried a demerera syrup 2:1 but drop down to .5oz instead of the typical .75/.75 sugar/lime split. You are very right that at the end of the day, it is all personal preference. That’s the beauty of the daiquiri.
I think I prefer a rum with a bit more flavour too. There are some great sugar alternatives too that can add some interesting flavours, but I do love the simplicity and ease of a 1:1 simple syrup. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
@@RuairiGilles appreciate that you are still uploading! Is your bar open again in London? I work for an airline and have been wanting to go - a good reason being to visit Bonneville!
I never had a Daquiri 🤔 it looks delicious! I will ask my brother to make me one ( he love making cocktails). Can you make a video of how to make a Midori sour? Or do you have one and I can't find it 😅
This is something I did not plan out but just made on the spot with whatever my buddies had in the fridge and my buddies liked it so 30ml of limeade juice 50-60ml of white rum (used Bacardi) Optional 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar Shake with cracked ice Open pour into glass Top with Canada Dry ginger ale And yes I made this in college
I have a little something I call the gangsters daiquiri. It started as a joke but it was good so I kept it 60 ml aged rum( diplomatico or bacardi 8 usually) 15 ml demerara syrup 20 ml lime juice 2 dashes angostura bitters First drink I ever named
For the next subscriber cocktail video, please try and make this cocktail - tesoro prohibido : 45 ml reposado tequila, 15 ml yellow chartruse, 15 ml lime juice, 15 ml agave nectar, 22 ml pinaple juice and 8 ml ginger juice. Thanks for the amazing videos!
This was served on the Titanic… Punch a la Romaine 1 egg white 1 oz. white rum 1 oz. white wine 1⁄2 oz. simple syrup 1⁄2 oz. lemon juice 1 oz. fresh orange juice 2 oz. Champagne or sparkling wine Twist of orange peel, for garnish And you can’t go wrong with a Martini, Manhattan or Tom Collins 👍🏼
Love the content and your Daquiri looks great! View cocktail submission below as well. Cyrus Field Road: 1oz: Applejack/Calvados 1oz. Rye .75oz: lemon juice .25oz: honey syrup(3:1) .25oz: ginger syrup .25oz: cinnamon syrup Shaken. Serve up. No garnish This drink is definitely inspired by fall flavors but is refreshing enough to work in the summer as well. The drink is named for a picturesque, small winding road that connects my home town of Irvington NY to the sawmill river parkway.

@@RuairiGilles i think alot of slightly off Daiquiri had in the past was the maker not really understanding the ingredient he/she has on hand. Its one thing to measure ml's of a recipe and using same sized ice and count seconds of shaking.... but something like the freshness or sweetness/tang of the fruit or even the flavour profile of the syrup can really make or break the final product. That's why the Daq is the omellete of the cocktail world. To show if its maker understand the fundamentals of the craft. BTW love the channel! :)
I love this channel but i feel like you’re running out of recipes. I think if you’re going to showcase once drink, perhaps make several variations. I for one love the Hemingway Daiquiri. Maybe even one with berries. While not a fan of the blended, you can even make one of those. Just tossing ideas your way.
Hook a brother up from the states with ounces. Sorry we're knuckle dragging Neanderthals but I'm pausing each vid 4-6× and doing the conversion....12.5 mls??? Lol
Please take as constructive feedback... this is my first time visiting your channel (via Educated Barfly's channel list). The interlude music is too loud and bass-ish. This made the video unwatchable for me; perhaps someone on a cellphone with its small speakers won't notice, but the music for me is overpowering. Hard to say if others also find this problematic but it will keep me from returning.
The daiquiri is got to be one of the most transcendent cocktails ever created. My favorite for summer, nothing I mean nothing beats it
Easily one of the best ever created. Solid template!
The daiquiri, hands down one of the most transcendent cocktails of them all. Thanks for the shout out. So pleased to have had you on our show!
I’ve always appreciated how this channel teaches you the basics but also recognizes that everyone has different preferences
Thank you 🙏🏼
BOSS! That was flawless!!! If you like the ice chards leav em in, if you don't... then don't!
Mic drop
Amazing, I'm an apprentice and this channel fuels my passion!
I am hoping to see the life come back to this channel. It's some of my favorite content and it would be a shame to see it fade away. Keep up the amazing work.
We’ll keep it up mate, don’t worry. Would be nice to see the views go up though 🥸
Passionate home cocktail maker. The classic daiquiri was the drink I first practiced on, and is still one of the most requested drinks still when my mates are around for a party!🍸🍸
Always a crowd pleaser! How do you make yours?
Amazing, we always try to make more and more complex mixes and stuff but forget what got us started and the beauty of the basics.
I made a cocktail inspired by a margarita which I call the Atitlan
It's the following :
4 parts Mezcal
2 parts blue Curaçao
2 parts lime juice
Couple dashes agave syrup
Couple dashes of mango infused simple syrup (or mango puree)
Shaken over ice, strained into a martini glass and garnished with mint and pineapple leaves
So uncomplicated yet exquisite. Many are surprised that a daiquiri is not a slushie.

Great smash no matter how you take it. Rosemary is epic with the right gin

2 oz Plantation Original dark Double aged Rum

4 dashes Angustura orange bitters

Mix in mixing glass w minimal dilution.
Garnish and express w fat orange peal
Sounds good. No citrus?
@@RuairiGilles more of a Rum Old Fashioned, at least there is the orange peal 🍊 😂
I know it looks like a shit ton of syrup but find the copious amounts of bitters offsets pretty well. But syrup to taste

Daiquiri is an absolute favourite, especially when it's hot out. Will try making a simple syrup with your specs next time
Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Love your vids guys, keep going!
Cheers from France
Thank you 🙏🏼
I don't get the dehydrated fruit garnish either. Checking you out on Freepour. Cheers!
I’m so sorry and please don’t judge me, but I’ve never had a proper daiquiri, yes I’ve had the frozen varieties but not the classic daiquiri, I will be making this over the weekend.

@@karlshep6257 well done mate! One sip is never enough...
I like to make my daiquiri with Bacardi Razz. It gives just a bit more sweetness and I like the raspberry fruity hints.
Sometimes I even like to use Cinnamon infused simple syrup, instead of the basic one.
It is really fun how diverse this classic can be made.
Don’t think I’ve seen Bacardi Razz? I’ll keep an eye out for a bottle 👍🏼
It may also be known as Bacardi Raspberry. Just like Bacardi coconut and Bacardi límon, they're all flavored/infused rums.
I have a great cocktail called a danalanaslingslong (pronounces Dana-Lana-sling-slong). It is as follows:
25ml simple syrup
25ml lemon juice
2 dashes of peychauds bitters
10ml of Pernod or absinthe
20ml of sweet vermouth
60ml of London dry gin
Shaken over ice and served in a rocks glass. No garnish required
That’s getting made, just for the name 🤣👍🏼
Great explanation for someone who is not well versed (such as myself)
Thank you 🙏🏼
Really enjoyed the video (as always)! Would like to see you do a whiskey sour!
Love your videos please keep them coming!
Such a good cocktail! 🍸 (and I personally prefer your longer videos!)
How about a Gin Fizz spotlight next? Can mention the Silver/Golden Fizz too!
I’ve got something ginny and fizzy in the can 😉
love these types of vids, hope they keep up
Thanks Clayton, there’s more of this type of stuff coming 👍🏼
I'd LOVE a breakdown of the Penicillin! I was able to visit the Elephant's Head two years ago and it's still one of the best cocktails I've ever had!
Thank you 🙏🏼
I’ll put penicillin on the list 👍🏼
One struggle I've been having is making a ginger juice that is spicy enough but doesn't require me purchasing a juicer haha. And I really don't want to have to buy a bottle of Laphroaig to make one cocktail either haha
I use simple syrup boiled with screwpine leaves (also known as pandan leaves). Gives an extra vanilla like flavour to the cocktail.
Sounds delicious 🤤 I’ll give it a try 👍🏼
I like this new format! keep it up!

Dear Ruairi and Team,
The work you do is great. Thank you for all the episodes! Perfect taste, beautiful cocktails and massive amount of the knowledge.
The next cocktail I'd want to see an episode about is Singapore Sling. I think it's a great drink but there're so much recipes, that I just need your opinion and maybe some inspiration what else may I do to make that stuff b*oody good!
Greetings from Poland! Waiting for the next episode :)
Hey hope to see more cocktails soon!! 😃
Please make a Queens Park Swizzle, a Hotel Nacional, and a Singapore Sling. Love the Channel.
I have an entry for the viewers cocktails: The Bittersweet Sour
• 40 ml aged rum (Havanna Espacial or 7 years should do)
• 30 ml sweet vermouth (I use Martini Riserva Rubino)
• 20 ml Campari
• 10 ml simple syrup (1:1 by weight, so probably use 12-13 ml)
• 25 ml lemon juice
• 2 dashes of aromatic bitters
Shake and (double) strain into coupe glass. Garish with some nicely cut orange peel or (if you have it) a kumquat on the rim.
Sounds delicious 🤤
Never heard of this one! Sounds great, definitely worth a shake
@@Barprints might be, because I came up with it :D
New episode! Learned and liked! BTW, I love Havana Club!
Nice one, thanks for watching 🙏🏼
really enjoy videos like this
Love the videos, keep them coming!! 🍸 would you explore pitcher/ sharer/ batch cocktails further ready for the summer.
Nice idea! Might not get it out for this summer though, got a bit of a backlog of vids to get out, but good idea 👍🏼
@@RuairiGilles not a problem, batch cocktails work all year round so it’s no rush, looking forward to more videos!! 👀🍸

Haven't done a Midori Sour yet. I'll put it on the list.
This is something I did not plan out but just made on the spot with whatever my buddies had in the fridge and my buddies liked it so
30ml of limeade juice
50-60ml of white rum (used Bacardi)
Optional 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar
Shake with cracked ice
Open pour into glass
Top with Canada Dry ginger ale
And yes I made this in college
Being from Hertfordshire, love Scratch Rum. How about a Dark and stormy next time.
Big fan of Scratch. I’ll put Dark’n’Stormy on the list 👍🏼
What about using actual caster sugar instead of syrup? I like the mouthfeel of sugar in drinks. Just like in the old fashioned.
Yeah you can use straight sugar for sure. It’s just harder to balance and not everyone like the crunchiness 👍🏼
I have a little something I call the gangsters daiquiri. It started as a joke but it was good so I kept it
60 ml aged rum( diplomatico or bacardi 8 usually)
15 ml demerara syrup
20 ml lime juice
2 dashes angostura bitters
First drink I ever named
Whisky sour spotlight with scotch
Nice one 👍🏼

22 ml pinaple juice and
8 ml ginger juice.
Thanks for the amazing videos!
That’s basically a Matador cocktail with the addition of ginger juice and using yellow chartruse instead of green. Would be delicious though.

This drink is definitely inspired by fall flavors but is refreshing enough to work in the summer as well. The drink is named for a picturesque, small winding road that connects my home town of Irvington NY to the sawmill river parkway.

its easy to make a Daiquiri, but to make a great one shows the basic competence of its maker.
Easy to get wrong 😑
@@RuairiGilles i think alot of slightly off Daiquiri had in the past was the maker not really understanding the ingredient he/she has on hand.
Its one thing to measure ml's of a recipe and using same sized ice and count seconds of shaking.... but something like the freshness or sweetness/tang of the fruit or even the flavour profile of the syrup can really make or break the final product.
That's why the Daq is the omellete of the cocktail world. To show if its maker understand the fundamentals of the craft.
BTW love the channel! :)
Thank you 🙏🏼
I always through a Daiquiri was Strawberrys, ice and grenadine blended together with white Rum mainly Barcardi.
You work in a new bar or so?
Sold the last one. This one is in my basement 👍🏼
@@RuairiGilles aaaa that's nice to hear 💜
I will try dangerous cocktail of Daiquri
I love this channel but i feel like you’re running out of recipes. I think if you’re going to showcase once drink, perhaps make several variations. I for one love the Hemingway Daiquiri. Maybe even one with berries. While not a fan of the blended, you can even make one of those. Just tossing ideas your way.
Thanks Mario. We did the Hemingway in Rum 3 a couple of weeks ago. Check it out 👍🏼
Hook a brother up from the states with ounces. Sorry we're knuckle dragging Neanderthals but I'm pausing each vid 4-6× and doing the conversion....12.5 mls??? Lol
Please take as constructive feedback... this is my first time visiting your channel (via Educated Barfly's channel list). The interlude music is too loud and bass-ish. This made the video unwatchable for me; perhaps someone on a cellphone with its small speakers won't notice, but the music for me is overpowering. Hard to say if others also find this problematic but it will keep me from returning.
What do you use to make the ice?
