fun fact. this recipe was only used for the first 2-3 years of operation until Paul McGee left three dots to open lost lake! the recipe that is made currently and has been being served for the last 7+ years is much different than this one-it doesn’t use an orange liqueur (uses orange juice) and instead of pimento dram it uses a house made allspice syrup! the falernum is made in house as well. cheers!
Woah this is awesome! Thank you for this info, I love hearing stuff like this. Cheers!
@@CocktailFridays you’re welcome! - three dots bartender 🫡
@@eliasrsoto You're a three dots bartender!? Maaan, that is like performing in the graceland of bars. So awesome!
Whoa! Such a nice recipe. I enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for trying it, and for watching! Cheers!
All sorts of flavours in this. Can't wait to make!!
Finally something to use that Gosling I have lying around. Thanks!
Yes!! Finally a use besides just Dark & Stormys 🎉😂
You keep posting recipes that i have all the ingredients for...so much rum, so little time!!
Haha that’s mostly good news!! This one is a killer, definitely make it of you find time
This looks awesome
It’s easily one of my favorites, such a killer cocktail from death and co!
sounds like a winner. cheers
Doc! The Walking Stick is absolutely in my top 5 best tiki cocktails ever.. I can't recommend it enough
If you were still getting the guava, I shudder to think how sweet the original was!
Exactly. It was pretty intense and.. frankly pretty bad.. it's a similar situation to how the original Jungle Bird is a whopping 4 oz of pineapple, and how the modern one uses 1 1/2 to 2oz and is still pretty pineapple forward. I'd still say to either tone down the guava or up the booze by a bit
watching this video on a day when it was 103 outside makes me long for autumn/winter so hard. I hate the summer xD
Ouch, I know this feel very well... in the Valley in LA it's criminally hot this year.. Definitely time for a homemade Rongo Rongo! :P Thanks for watching!
Very nicely done!!! This looks like a complex and tasty treat!!! I def need to borrow that mug!! Great video!!! CHEERS!!
Aw man I’m terrible. Watched it on Friday but forgot to comment how great it was. I must have been to caught up by the cool sounding shake!!! Will definitely make this in the future when I grab guava
Thanks as always for the kind words Stephane!! Ann had a good suggestion of swapping the simple for ginger syrup as well, might add a bit more tang. Cheers!
Also, you’re never terrible, nor will you ever be Terrible ❤
@@CocktailFridays ya ginger 🫚 sounds good.
Is that Buddha happy to see you, or is that just a straw?
Haha perrrrfect 😂😂
My wife likes drinks that are on the sweet side, many times she says they are too tart. So she might like the original.😅
Oo possibly! I think this particular recipe is still heavy on the sweet, but you should start with the original! ❤ thanks for watching!
Yeah! Would a guava juice like Rubicon work?
Possibly! I’d be afraid of the viscosity being different but it should give you that similar sweetness!
Your grandma is cool😎
She was the best; she’s definitely where I got the alcohol itch from ❤
We’ll make this, if we have the nectar… I think we do…. Love the experiment to bring sweetness down, because when I’m drinking with my wife, she has all the sweetness I need…
Awww… right? 😅. Yea man I hope you like it!! Thanks as always for watching, Matt!
This one sounds very interesting. I wonder if the simple was replaced by a strong ginger syrup if that could help boost flavor. I find the canton to be sweet and not very gingery. I like where your mind goes w/these experiments!!! PS. Jess always does such a great job! You both crack me up! 😂
That’s a great idea!! We will make that switch for sure!! Thanks, Ann!
@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn ya I found canton being barely gingerale adding more ginger or a hardier ginger 🫚 liqueur and to boost flavour.
First?
First!!!!
I'm WAAAAAAAY back in the standings!!!
Love the intro! And i have all the ingredients, including Hayman's Old Tom!
Awesome!! I hope it turns out great, I think this is a highly underrated cocktail!
This is awesome! Catching up on my Watch Later list. I played Doom when it first came out. I'm that old. I just need some cranberry juice, but this one is on the Drink Later list!
Thanks, Robert! Indeed, we can be old together, I still remember playing Doom the first time and being amazed.. was such a mindblowing game. Hope you enjoy the drink, feel free to tweak it a bit, it might still be a tad unbalanced.. might need a bit more spice element.
How did I miss this one for two months? I need to get some orange juice and I'm good to go!
This was a fun episode to make, and basically doing a drive-by piece on Brian Miller, from my favorite cocktail franchise-establishment. Normally OJ is a flavor-killer, but the folks at D&C found a way to make it wonderful. of course they did! Cheers, Robert!
Love this video! And the monkey. Nit sure how you only have 1200 subs!!! I've had the pleasure of visiting Jason at Devil's Reef and also attended a Zoom chat during COVID where he talked about his drinks and how he comes up with them. Great guy!!!
Man, I so badly want to go to Devil's Reef, I cannot wait to visit, I'm jealous you've been there. Jason seems like the coolest guy, and that talk sounds like the coolest talk!! Also, thank you for the kind words as always, Robert.. and thank you for being subbed! You're helping those modest numbers! 😄
Love love love this one
That drink is awesome
Gnome!! I'm glad you think so, honestly I need to make this version again at home, last time I made it I feel like I didn't have the proper ingredients, and I could do it more justice nowadays. The idea of a Three Dots recipe without orange juice is so appealing to me!
@@CocktailFridays oh yeah and that bar is super cool
@@gnomestavern8285 oh gosh yeah!! I can't wait to go back, they have that like.. extra "rum room" in the back now, too! I gotta check it out!
I have made this recipe for the Three Dots and a Dash and I would caution anyone to start very small with the Allspice Dram. For me...1/4 oz was too overpowering of the other flavors. With just a barspoon it was still a dominant flavor.
Oh yes, especially if it is St Elisabeth. The Hamilton Pimento Dram is better for the 1/4 amount, St Elisabeth can be extra potent. Thanks for the tip!
@@CocktailFridays : Yes. Mine was St Elizabeth.
Nice! Another non-rum Tiki drink, which is right up my alley. I'm wondering .... since you seem to enjoy the spicy notes from the Bourbon you've selected, I wonder about trying it with a Rye, which I would think would bring even more spicy goodness to the party. Cheers!
Oh man I would definitely recommend it with a Rye, it will butt up against the Orgeat in a nice way, and honestly since Rye is similar to Agricole rum (in grassiness), it will still fit in that Mai-Tai region of recipe-variation. Hope you enjoy!
I'm always looking for non-Rum tiki. I enjoy the Dead Man's Handle, but I don't have pineapple liqueur; so, I'm thinking about trying this with apricot liqueur. How bad could it be? And then I looked around the internet and quickly found the Mexican Radio, from way back in 2008, made with 2 oz Reposado Tequila, 1⁄2 oz Cynar, 1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur, and 2 dashes Bittermen's Xocolatl Mole Bitters. Now, I have several drinks to try! Cheers!
Oh wow, that is a very different and very interesting recipe!! Might have to try that one myself as well. Thank you for sharing!!
@@CocktailFridays I'm first going to try the version you made, but with Apricot Liqueur.
I will put it out there, with confidence, that the Naval Grog from Strongwater in Anaheim, is the best Navy Grog riff in existence, currently. Absolutley stellar!
@@WhoKnowsNose I HAVE had that Navy Grog! 😄 and I loooove Strongwater. I think it’s extremely good but I’d probably still put Commando Grog up against it. But I’m so happy to hear you’ve been there and we both love that drink! 😄
@@CocktailFridays I'll be trying this one soon!
Omg I miss those commercials!!!
Me too, you can imagine how much fun it was to try and re-create! Thank you for watching ❤
Sounds awesome! I want a t-shirt with that Tiki Commando logo! I legit laughed out loud several times, and the drink sounds great.
hah! Jason should definitely make shirts and sell them at Devil's Reef! Awesome, thanks so much for watching, Bonnie!
This is my new favorite video of all time. Justice has been served!
This is massive high praise coming from the TikiCommando himself. 🙏 Thanks so much for watching, Jason, and thank you for all of your incredible recipes over the years-- AND Devil's Reef! ❤
That retro commercial was everything! Always great when you grace us with another banger. Cheers, David!!
Vino thanks so much for your kind words, as always. Cheers to you! ❤
Great video, and love this cocktail, as is the case with all of Jason´s
He is a mastermind for sure. Bless him for opening Devils Reef 🎉🎉
How about a Ninja Grog that uses some Japanese substitutions? Make it the same, say the subs are ninja based and cannot be detected.
Haa!! That’s truly great idea. There are some Japanese rums making the rounds now, that might have to be a legit riff! See how it tastes!
Can’t wait to try it! Great shirt by the way!
Thanks Pam!! And yes!! Go Riders!! 😄❤
The Royal Navy, back in the day was the world’s largest buyer of rum. Clearly they were experimenting with cocktails. Great to see you carrying on the naval tradition.
Absolutely! The history of the navy grog is in many ways the history of the modern cocktail itself, much like the history of the Old Fashioned or the Sazerac. It's also such a unique cocktail even in it's early 1900s form, that to see people riff with it's components is always fascinating to me, to see which elements they'll hold onto, and which to change, etc. I definitely think this one from Jason A is a masterpiece!
Yes! I want to bring this to the pool, but I also want to use my GI Joe tiki mugs... No brandy snifter for me... Parent's didn't love me enough to buy me all of those accessories...
Omg, this drink in a GI Joe tiki mug!? Sounds super duper amazing... if you actually have one and actually do that, please post pictures! haha. Indeed, the Brandy Snifter was an odd accessory that came with the Cobra Headquarters playset, guess thats what they mean by Fun For All Ages. 🍹🍹🍹
Popped up as a notification, clicked and watching!!!
Bless you, Stephane 🙏🙏 Thanks for watching as always, and thanks for your continued awesome recipes on your insta channel
@@CocktailFridays Watching it for the 3rd time. Such a fun video and nostalgia watching commando! I do think it is a great recipe and made it many times for the complex spices
