Harry Yee's Catamaran Cocktail | Bar Talk & Cocktails

- September 26th is always a special day for Bar Talk & Cocktails. It's Legendary Bartender Harry Yee's Birthday. Today would mark Harry's 105th. For those of you who don't know, Harry passed away in December 2022 at the age of 104. Wow! He certainly left his mark on the cocktail world. Not only did he create some of the most famous and tasty tropical cocktails, but he also pioneered many firsts that seem common place today. He was the mastermind who decided to pluck a beautiful orchid from the garden and gently place it in a drink. Talk about sipping on elegance and style. The genius, who looked at a tiny umbrella and thought, "Hey, this would make the perfect garnish!" And just like that, the world of cocktails became a tropical paradise, your own personal vacation in every sip.
Harry's daughter Marilyn has become a good friend of the show over the years and has always been so gracious to us, whether by giving us personal insight about Harry and his creations, hidden recipes or sending us amazing memorabilia.
Speaking of Harry's recipes, Marilyn sent me one more. One that's maybe a little less known? The Catamaran. I've never made one but I'm sure it's going to be amazing. Thank you Marilyn. This is going to be great!
Harry, this one is for you.
If you want to know more about who Harry was and his importance to the Tropical Cocktail world, start from the beginning with his most famous - The Blue Hawaii. Check out the playlist. We've made many of Harry's cocktails over the years. Cheers!

Harry is legendary… Bruce YOU are our internet version!! Lots of bartenders on UA-cam. You are the best and most entertaining to watch! Thanks for the tiki tour!!! Happy birthday Harry!!!
Hey thanks so much for the nice comment. If I could only get to Harry’s legendary status!
Long live the Bartender Legacy of Harry Yee!
Thank you for this.
Thank You Bruce for keeping this legacy alive!!!
Thanks for watching!
Good to see you still honoring Mr. Yee's memory.
It’s my pleasure!
Rest in peace to an all-time bartending legend! And it makes me tear up every time Bruce brings out a Harry cocktail as a tribute to bartenders gone by. Our bartender inventors who invent new ways to enjoy our evenings deserve a spot in the history books, and Bruce pays tribute to them in every single video. Give our best to Marilyn, and thank you Bruce for all the work you put into ensuring the world knows about his legacy.
Thank you! Keep checking back, lots more on the way.
Another classic. Thanks for introducing me to Harry Yee.
Thanks for watching!
I love hearing all of these stories, and I LOVE all of these recipes from Harry. What an amazing way to pay homage to a legend.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always great to see an exception to the "people who live more than 100 years are rarely notable for anything else" rule.
your grenadine recipe is bang on.
Thanks!
Thank you. I will be making this cocktail probablly tomorrow so back to you then. However, this VOD not only makes me want to make the cocktail, but head to Hawaii as well.
Let’s go! Ha
Thanks for this. Is nice to come home from a rough day of work to my favorite bartender. I prepared a drink before hitting play. Keep them coming.
Sounds great! Keep checking back lots more on the way.
That was a total pleasure to watch.
Thank you!
I always look forward to the annual Harry Yee episode
Us too!
At this point, I'd consider it an honour if Bruce made me a drink.
I’m honoured! Thanks for the lovely comment Shane

We have enjoyed this cocktail a few times since this video. I am so glad I tried this one!
Great to hear! Cheers
Great to hear! Cheers
Properly made Polynesian (Tiki) drinks like you do Bruce is the fine dining of cocktails.
They sure are!
Really sad to hear of Harry's passing. Every year on the annual Harry Yee episode I was always happy to hear that he was still doing well. Definitely going to raise a toast to one of the great innovators of Tiki and tropical drinks tonight. Harry isn't mentioned enough as the pioneer that he was.
Totally agree!
What a tribute, nicely done.
Thank you!
Omfg Bruce I'm having this on October. I had 2 Dr funk cocktail old drink in the 30s but this one here. Holy cow it takes the cake literally. Made this for a party right now. Wow God bless I'm wasted
Glad you enjoyed it!
Group photo!!! Definitely will be making this maybe only with rum ;) Bet it would be awesome with Gin in the summer to.
Totally!
It’s 8:15 in the morning and I believe I could drink a couple of those! Great sounding drink and kudos to you, Aaron and Viv for the best videos on UA-cam! Keep them coming!
Thank you!
Pretty in pink! Gotta try this.
Hope you give it a go!
If I one the lottery I would hire this guy to be my personal bartender and pay him rediculas money !!
Keep me posted on that. I’m always open for discussion 😁😁 cheers!
Great reply !
Your love for Harry is evident! Keep on mixing Bruce!
Thanks, will do!
The Catamaran is a drink invented by Shannon Tebay from Death & Co., a speakeasy style cocktail bar in New York.
Ingredients
2 oz (60 ml) London Dry Gin
1 oz (30 ml) Don’s Mix. A 2:1 ratio grapefruit juice to cinnamon syrup.
1/2 oz (15 ml) Campari. The original recipe calls for Aperol, which is weaker and sweeter.
1/2 oz (15 ml) Lemon Juice. Freshly squeezed
1.2 oz (15 ml) Coconut Cream. The original recipe calls for Coco Lopez, which is coconut cream mixed with sugarcane syrup.
I appreciate you sharing the recipe. I'll have to make it. It sounds like a drink that I would thoroughly enjoy.
Looks so good young man! Gonna give it a go. Fits right in with my pina coloda n Blue Hawaiian drinks I like?
Thanks for tuning in!
Hi Bruce I'm a subscriber and patreon member, I've been playing around with flips but have not quite figured out a perfect autumn recipe wondering if you had some thoughts or could make a unique video about a autumn flip, I've made pumpkin spice syrup and combined with a egg something like a traditional flip then mixed "batter" with a wonderful oat stout it's not terrible but lacks years of experience to perfect, hoping you might have some insight. Have checked multiple sources but to no avail I can find a decent recipe. Thanks for the wonderful shows and recipes. Cheers to Aaron and Viv as well for their hard work in making the show. Pumpkin spice simply syrups episode 2018 Oct.11. the recipe used for syrup. Also haven't a flip episode 😉.
If you could provide me with your list of ingredients and their proportions I would be delighted to assist you in enhancing your recipe. It could be as straightforward as making adjustments to achieve a well-rounded flavour profile. Alternatively, there might be an ingredient or something missing that could elevate your Flip to the next level. Check out more about Flips in episode #135 - Chocolate Punch. ua-cam.com/video/bOWj4yCsm50/v-deo.html
Batter-1oz of pumpkin spice syrup, 1 whole egg, 1.5 ozs of Smith and cross rum, I prefer rum over cognac, 200ml oat stout, mixed the batter and poured over the stout, also tried chocolate stout and ale, changed the rum used as well tried with wray and nephew over proof and havanah club, not sure if the cream is what I'm missing, but also played with upping the pumpkin spice syrup but it just gets lost, I'm not a huge fan of wine so haven't tried port or a more fruit forward wine, maybe a floral forward radler or I'm just trying to achieve the wrong flavor from this type drink, thank you for your advice.
Hi, I’ve answered this for you on Patreon, be sure to check it out! Cheers 🍻
