It's a real testament to the quality and delivery of your content, in that I have been clean and sober for almost 30 years, and just enjoy the hell out of these.
Ciara, since you've dabbled with a couple of New Orleans signature cocktails before I thought I'd recommend what may be the one we're most infamous for, the Hurricane. It's a staple here and Pat O'Brien's bar is probably the epicenter. Absolutely love what you're doing.
Many years ago in the late 80s when I was a university student, I noticed nearly everyone my age ordered beer at bars. Occasionally someone ordered wine out of pretension. I wanted to be different and order cocktails. I knew there was more than gin and tonics so I bought a bartending book and began reading. Then I began ordering: rusty nail, Bronx cocktail, old fashioned, gin fizz, zombie, brandy alexander, white russian, whiskey sour, fuzzy navel, the martini family, etc. I learned some bars weren't as fully stocked as they claimed and some bartenders couldn't do more than pour beer.
One thing to remember is that there's a difference between cherry brandy - that is, brandy distilled from cherry wine, and cherry-flavored brandy, which is much sweeter.
Flaming Dr. Pepper, either the legitimate way, or bar way. Insane how strong they are and how well the taste is described in the title.
Ciara: “I may finish these cherries today”
Me: “oh, she must be making a couple more cocktail videos to-“
Ciara: “I’m just going to eat one of these cherries...again”
Me: 🤭
It happens everytime 😂🙈🍒
@@CiaraODoherty still holding out for a banana daiquiri segment. Extra bananas are a yummy bonus.
Chillax she's got another jar in the fridge.
@@pastelskies8466 Bananananana dakrys require an orangutan for their proper consumption, though. (Ook.)
Ciara- I live in Michigan, 🍒 capital of the world. Post-lockdown, you should visit the Traverse City, MI, USA cherry festival! You’ll be in 🍒 Heaven. 😋
Great vid! Here's 2 for you!!
GREEN GHOST
Ingredients
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce Green Chartreuse
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice, from 1 lime
Directions: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add gin, Chartreuse, and lime juice. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into cocktail glass and serve. Lime garnish
THE LAST WORD
Ingredients
3/4 ounce gin
3/4 ounce green Chartreuse
3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
Garnish: brandied cherry (optional)
Directions: Add the gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and lime juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry (optional).
Takes me back to the 70s. We'd go to the Red Rooster Disco inside the HUGE bowling alley. They'd have Singapore Slings as a drink special. They went down so easily.
The most popular drink in the Gulf States has got to be the "hurricane". They are tall and strong, at least Jimmy Buffet thinks so. 😎
Hurricanes also use a special glass designed after old hurricane lamps... allegedly
I remember having Hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s many times. The night of my high school graduation I think half my class was there. The Pat O’s version is just the Hurricane mix (kinda like fruit punch Kool Aid) and dark rum on ice in a hurricane glass. When you drink at Pat O’s you are buying the glass too. I don’t have them anymore, but I used to have several filled with Mardi Gras beads and coins. I bet my mother probably got rid of them years ago. I do see recipes for a traditional hurricane which I might try sometime. Just need the liliko’i or passion fruit juice, I have the rest of the ingredients.
Funny you should ask, Dave
You know, I don't even drink alcohol, but she's so charming and lovely and has that beautiful Irish accent that I'm compelled to watch.
After you asked the Benedictine question, I consulted the Old Mr. Boston De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide, and was surprised at how many Benedictine cocktails there were. The one that sounds most interesting (there are a couple that call for egg yolk) is the Cabaret Cocktail. It calls for 1.5 oz dry gin, 1/2 tsp dry vermouth, 1/2 tsp Benedictine, and 2 dashes bitters. Pretty straightforward. Cheers!
Also a Preakness is basically a Manhattan with Benedictine and would work since you've already done a mint julep (The Preakness Stakes is the second race of the American Triple Crown of Horse Racing after the Kentucky Derby - the third race is the Belmont Stakes)
My dad got these Woodford Reserve dark cherries soaked in bourbon that are meant to top cocktails. The cherries are something I bet you'd like, Ciara! And the leftover cherry bourbon is a really nice, sweet ingredient for other cocktails!
Hi Ciara, my favorite Benedictine drink is the B and B (Brandy and Benedictine). Very simple, 1 to 1 mixture, served neat or heated in a snifter. Absolutely one of my favorite after dinner coctails. Cheers and keep up the great content!
your outfit reminds me of Lee Meriwether in "Batman: The Movie" (1966) as Catwoman, disguised as journalist Kitayna Ireyna Tatanya Kerenska Alisoff (acronymed as Kitka).
Lee Meriwether is my favorite live-action Catwoman.
👍👍👍
Oh, Dude! Nobody beats the sexy Julie Newmar.
I LOVE your channel. My fathers family is from Newfoundland Canada. you sand EXACTLY like my Auntie. I haven't seen her in 10yrs. I'm bing watching your videos cause I like your vids and it helps that is fixed my homesickness.
Thank you!!
I'm happy to see you have upped your ice game. Good ice makes good cocktails.
No experience with cocktails my A...you're Ciara! Queen of Try! But nice to see you still having fun and sharing with the people.
The drink was great, but that dress was the star! You always look beautiful Ciara, but today you are stunning!!
Absinthe Cocktail is made with Benedictine. A Bobby Burns/tarantula is vermouth, scotch, lemon and Benedictine , it's a brainstorm w_o the lemon. Also a smart christine, gin, bene, oj and marschino
One trick to teach a dog to come when called is to sit on the floor about two meters from a friend [or a wall if preferred] and play with your dog by rolling a ball to the friend [or bouncing it off the wall] and each time the ball rolls close to you, you call "come" to the dog, who will be chasing after it, then just congratulate the dog for their successful "come" when they get to you, treats possible. Eventually the dog will associate "come" with running to you (and possibly getting a treat).
I love the fact that you did not use pineapple juice in this drink just as much as you love those cherries. Cherry Heering is fantastic in this one too. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks much Ciara. Great job like always.
As an American of Irish descent as well as Scottish I am in love.
Well, well hello tigress! Looking fab on a Sunday! I've seen a Singapore Sling made Grand Marnier, Pineapple juice, and bitters. Thanks for another great video. You looked like you were having fun making this drink!
Watch a Cocktail Tony
Thank you James!!
Ciara, great choice, the Singapore sing is so easy to drink.
Loved the colab with Cara and all of the yt bartenders👍🥂
Love the lounge jazz!
A very warming and delicious cocktail for these cold winter months is a Hot Brandied Cider. The basic recipe is hot spiced cider and apple Brandy. Many recipes online. This is my favorite winter cocktail, especially after any outdoor activity.
This is one of my fav cocktails!
There is a drink here in America called a, B & B! Which stands for Benedictine and Brandy! We also serve here a drink called a Pearl Harbour, I believe it contains Medori ( a Mellon flavored liquor). so its green in color!
Wow....So lovely.
And no, I wasn’t talking about the Singapore 🇸🇬 Sling.
I absolutely love these Little movies !
Your series is like reliving my teens & 20's all over again. Good times.
Watch a Cocktail Tony
Elegant yet humble, undeniably gorgeous.
yay!!! you made it!!! ❤❤❤
Love these videos!
It all looks so good👍😁😍
I was taught a different version in The Northern Whig in Belfast. 20mls Gordons gin, 15mls Cherry Heering, 7.5mls Cointreau and 7.5mls Benedictine with 20mls lime juice, 25mls of both fresh Orange and also Pineapple juice and a dash of grenadine. Complicated yes, but soo moreish!
This is correct and the real Raffle Hotel recipe.
Yeah, an amazing bar. I'm one of the old guard, I was taught by Sean Muldoon of The Dead Rabbit, NY. Well ahead of his time, always researching for the original recipes. I got lucky to have him as a mentor! ☺
Miss Ciara! I liked you alot from the Try channel. My 72 yr old Mother likes you also. So fun! I'm inspired to try to make some of these drinks at home. I've never been to Ireland, but dream of it. been to the U.K as a young man in the Army. My grandmother was a war bride from Hull. Brett, from Cape Cod Massachusetts. Cheers!
This girl should be in the movies. She could be the next Maureen O'Hara. Beautiful girl and her brogue only adds to her charm.
Wow!. Amazing.
This outfit is over-the-top, and I'm loving it.
I was fortunate to be in Singapore a few years back for work, we made a point to go to the Raffles and try these. We had to take a cab back to our hotel
I really enjoy your videos ! ! !
If you want to use your Benedictine you could make a “Cocktail a la Louisiane”. Rye whiskey, Benedictine, sweet vermouth, absinthe, peychaud’s bitters, and garnish with your favorite cherries. I think it would be right in your wheelhouse; a spirit forward whiskey cocktail.
Came here to say this too!
Sounds like someone fucked with the Sazerac.
I suggest the La Louisiane cocktail:
2 ounces rye whiskey
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
1/2 ounce Bénédictine
3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
3 dashes absinthe
Garnish: maraschino cherry
Ciara serving looks! But what else is new 🤩
I just gotta say that outfit is so elegant just like you
Your my favorite on the try channel your amazing 😍
I had two of these at Raffles Long Bar in Singapore. VERY pricey for the tourists, but a very cool drink in a hot environment.
The Singapore Sling was my grandmother’s favorite cocktail! Always thought there was sloe gin in there as well.
I remember the first time I heard of that drink.
It was the Tom Cruise movie 'Cocktail''. It was in his Last Barman Poet monologue.
I haven't had all that many Singapore Slings in my life, but I'm happy to say that the first one I had was actually in Raffles, in Singapore. I recall there was no air conditioning, but a simple system made fans operate in the ceiling and the bar kept relatively cool.
That looks wonderful! I have a friend who love fruit based drinks! I'll give that a try! thank you!
I love that cocktail
Please try gin and dubonnet, the queen's favourite cocktail.
Adreanalchrome from the tap is (was) the queens favorite drink.
@@DEADonBelieve - adrenal chrome from the tap? What is it? This is the first time I heard of it
The blood of young tortured children when there adrenaline is max out.
The blood of young tortured children when there adrenaline is max out.
@@DEADonBelieve - whoa... That's disturbing.
The Singapore Sling is the official cocktail of Singapore Airlines and they make it available on every flight (a simplified version of it).
The real version uses Grenadine, Cointreau, lime and pineapple juices, along with gin, cherry brandy, Benedictine and Angostura bitters. No lemon or simple syrup or soda water (it’s a flat drink). I know there’s a lockdown and things are hard to get. There are countless versions of it, so you’re not wrong. That’s just the original ingredients.
the cherry liqueur they used is cherry heering (less sickly sweet) and shaken with pineapple juice (no tonic) for a nice foam in a sling glass
Very nice cocktail vid's! Among the very nice cocktails I have had that you can hardly tell are cocktails at all you might want to try the Apricot Stone Sour, Brass Monkey and on the more sweet side the Grasshopper. Alternatively, if you want to knock back a stiff one, a Zombie is always a good choice!
Thanks for the tips! Zombie is definitely coming soon!x
Have you ever had an Aviation? The liqueur Creme de Violette was create, just for this cocktail, which is itself a revival of the original, that was popular in the 20's. It's a delicate lavender, gin based, and served in a dainty coupe. Very elegant flapper ;)
Good job on the drink. Love your outfit too.
That dress! 😍😍😍
Now I can't wait to go get one.
1 measure gin
1/2 measure cherry brandy or Kirschwasser if available
1/4 measure Cointreau or triple sec
4 measures pinapple juice
1/2 measure lime juice
1/3 measure grenadine
dash bitters
Shake well with ice
Strain into large glass with or without ice. Garnish with umbrella’s, citrus wedges, Maraschino Cherries (with stems). Use a couple of bar straws or one regular straw.
The measure can be whatever you like: 1oz shot or other size.
You should make a Bufala Negra next! Bourbon, ginger, basil and balsamic!
Whoa that sounds wild.
I always wanted to try a Singapore Sling... I was finally able to try it in 1981 when I was 16 years old...
The Singapore Sling was a spinning amusement park ride at World's Of Fun in Kansas City.
Since I hate gin though, I'll take your word for how it tastes.
I love your outfit,Ciara!
Back in 1970, in one bar I frequented, the ladies always ordered Slings, while the guys often ordered Harvey Wallbangers (vodka, orange juice, Galliano). Ever make one of those?
You live dangerously and I luv it!
I have tried a couple drinks that you have made! Mission accomplished!
You would like the Monte Carlo cocktail, it is a variation on an old fashioned using Benedictine, very delicious
I think this was the first time I've seen you have any reaction to a drink (brandy)
I love the way you talk!
Had one in Raffles. It was great
My thats a foxy dress to go with that great looking cocktail. Cheers!
You might try a Silent Night. It is very easy -- Bourbon, Benedictine, and Peychaud's Bitters -- garnished with an orange peel.
Benedictine cocktail: Kentucky Colonel. 3 oz bourbon 1/2 oz benedictine shake over ice until well chilled. Garnish with a lemon twist. enjoy
You should try a 'Silent Night' if you want to use your Benedictine. It's pretty much just that and bourbon. Pretty good. I think you'd like it.
A good cocktail that uses Benedictine is the Monte Carlo Cocktail. It's basically a Manhattan, but with Benedictine instead of Vermouth.
Ciara you are just lovely (had to say it but it's true) I make my own moonshine all different flavors here in the states just for myself and a family member or two and my favorite is coffee shine, it's just cold brew coffee made with moonshine instead of water and a little brown sugar to cut the sting down. Makes a great hot toddy in the bitter cold mornings, afternoon and evenings.
I haven't had one in years! Now I am gonna go make one....🍹
Your whole style is a vibe by the way 😉😍
most sneaky thing i remember from when i was young was gin and apricot soda.
you could mix it 50/50 and it would still just taste like apricot winegum.
Great vid, I've watched many..here's one for you to try..purple haze martini..in a shaker with ice..1 shot raspberry vodka, 1 shot blue curacao, fill with cran raspberry juice. Sooo smooth!
One too many cocktails can put anyone in a sling. lol Who hasn't been there at one time or another? Cheers!
If making several Singapore Slings for company I cheat and substitute Sprite or 7 up for the lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda. For a bit more tartness to compensate, squeeze a lemon wedge into each glass and use it as garnish.
Yours would be better, but mine is close and if I'm making several it's easier.
Meoooow! Moar gin cocktails please.
I think you'd like an aviation as a similar cocktail with a less sweetness.
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur (I use luxardo)
dash (like 5ml or less) of crème de violette (totally optional, can skip in flavor of any floral liqueur )
3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Garnish: brandied cherry
Served up
I've always had a hard time drinking alcohol and I've taken a lot of shit for it. But your cocktails have made the difference! I can finally order a delicious drink and enjoy myself. Thank you so much. Cheers 🍹
Have you tried a "Butter knife"? It's 1 part Kamchatka Vodka and 2 parts orange Kool-Aid. We named it that because it's not a screwdriver but it works in a pinch!
Additional cocktails with Benedictine: the Monte Carlo (rye, Benedictine, and Angostura bitters) and the Preakness (same ingredients, plus sweet vermouth).
If you like refreshing drinks, try a Paper Plane, equal parts lemon juice, bourbon, Aperol and Amaro Nonino. Shake with ice and serve.
WIth a handful of treats, Remy should be able to learn sit. Unless the dog momma gives in to the puppy eyes and rewards her too soon...? Anyway, I enjoy seeing and hearing your enthusiasm for cocktails on here. Keep on staying safe and sane. We will keep on seeing what you make next. Cheers!
I've had a couple of these at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore....they were alittle 'light' on the Gin, but they tasted fine. VERY nice hotel and bar, Recommended!
Yay!
You make the perfect host. Thanks for sharing.
You look like my mom if she was a young 80's bimbo. Cheers to you Seersha!!
Benedictine and tonic: In a tall glass with ice, combine 1 ounce of Bénédictine and 4 ounces of a high-quality tonic water. Squeeze a lime wedge into the drink. Repo-Bénédictine Manhattan: In a mixing glass with ice, combine 2 ounces of reposado tequila and 1 ounce of Bénédictine, with a dash of Angostura bitters. Stir all that up until well-chilled, then strain into a cocktail coupe. Garnish with a lime twist, squeezing over the surface of the drink to spray its citrus oils over the top, plus a brandied cherry. Bénédictine Sour: In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine 2 ounces of bourbon , 1 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 3/4 ounce of Bénédictine, and a 1/4 of simple syrup. Shake all that up hard, then strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a few thin lemon wheels.
