    by the 1960s many tiki places were losing recipes, literally. that's how we got random juices added to rums like the "mai tai" here. another poster already mentioned this but the mai tai was a Trader Vic original of overproof white rum, orgeat, lime, curaçao, and simple syrup.

    • @linkabird_vt
      @linkabird_vt Місяць тому +6

      I was wondering about this because the colour of what they are drinking is so ... red ... i've never in my life had a mai tai that colour. My family goes to Hawaii every year, so i have had all manner of bastardized 'mai tai's ... most including some pineapple juice, but i don't remember ever having one that was red.

    The coke in a long island iced tea is only supposed to be a float, for the color change effect it has on the otherwise clear drink...giving it the color of tea. It should never be that dark or taste that much like coke.

      It shouldn’t be an “otherwise clear” drink. It contains rum, tequila and sour mix. I be also seen versions with whiskey.

    The "Wallbanger" part of the Harvey Wallbanger comes from the bottle. It was for many years the longest bottle you would find in any bar and as such would be on the back row up against the wall. Clase Azul Tequila now tends to take that spot in most bars and some don't even have Galliano on the bar anymore.

      I find this channel almost flawless. I put it on par with TV, in fact, if I had to purchase it on DVD I wouldn't hesitate and I have purchased a mug from their merchandise store online. In a lot of TV shows there's often at least a character or 2 that are disliked by viewers (obviously which character it is differs depending on the viewer) but with Try, it isn't easy to find flaws with many of its cast or tasters. In my books, Try transcends or surpasses UA-cam.

    As a Long Islander, I was told The Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, NY claims to be the birthplace of the Long Island Ice Tea.

    Harvey Wallbanger is saying use Galliano which is a large bottle on top shelf which " bangs the wall" when pulling it out to pour. Also Long Island iced tea has a top shelf version called "Texas Tea" using same ingredients but using top shelf liquor.

    The Long Island Iced Tea. Brings back memories. A neighbor wanted to borrow my Bartender's Guide. I gave it to him on the condition that I could have a drink or two. He made a pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea. Two hours later, with knees like rubber bands, I was able to make it back to my apartment. Did I drive? NOPE! His apartment was right next to mine so I was able to nearly crawl back home. I haven't been that drunk since. (late 1990's). Thanks, Bernie!

    Variations on the Long Island Iced Tea definitely include not using coke and triple sec but sprite and blue curaçao making a Blue Motorcycle, or my favorite the Grateful Dead, same swap out, using sprite and raspberry liquor!

    Harvey Wallbanger: always used to think it was named after Harvey Kuenn, MLB ballplayer and manager, notably of the Milwaukee Brewers, who were nicknamed Harvey's Wallbangers. Alas, I am sadly mistaken.

  • @tacowolf1765
    @tacowolf1765 28 днів тому +1

    idk if it's a regional thing, but the bars that I used to go to usually served Long Islands with sprite/7-up and not coke/pepsi, which is why it looked more like iced tea, because most of the color came from the alcohol.

    Funny thing--I'm not a drinker, but I love watching you try different alcoholic beverages (as well as all your other videos.) I went out to lunch Sunday and ordered a Blueberry Lavender Lemonade. Instead of the "virgin" drink, the server brought me the cocktail, which has vodka in it. I drank it, unaware that I was having booze. It was still great!!!

    In the mid 70's, my Mum picked up a Harvey Wallbanger T-shirt just as Seamus described. I was a teen then and thought it was the coolest thing. Wore it to school one day, the Principal found me, and kicked me out that day for "promoting an unhealthy lifestyle".

I still make a batch of Brandy slush at Christmas that is a real throwback to our 1980s Xmas when I was a little kid
