My Go-To Easy Tiki - The Tradewinds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Today, I'm going to show you an easy tiki, the Tradewinds! This was always my go-to when someone would come into the bar on a tiki night and order a drink right before last call. Not only did I feel confident they'd love the taste of it, but I would use equal ratios to keep it simple, and swizzle it right in the glass to get it out quickly. This recipe is based on the Tradewinds recipe found in Beachbum Berry Remixed. With flavors of apricot, lemon, and coconut, this one is definitely a crowd pleaser! Cheers!

Feel free to try this recipe with some of your favorite rums. Let me know what you use! 🍹 🥤 😋
Time stamps in the description!
Hey Andres I enjoy your videos, you have made me get into mixing cocktails, especially Tiki drinks!! I watch your video on building your personal bar. I almost have everything you recommend, was wondering the Apricot Liquor you recommend is pretty pricey and not sure if I will like it, so I saw one on Total wine that’s cheaper and small bottle called Drillaud apricot liquor. Is that a bottle you recommend?
@@f2343 Thanks for the question! So glad you are enjoying making cocktails. I can't say I've had that bottle (I'll have to pick one up sometime!) but if it's smaller and more affordable, I say give it a try! I bet it will work just fine 👍
Just tried it with Phraya Gold (Thai rum) and Don Papa sherry casks. It was divine.
Cheers from Paris, France.
@Anders Erickson, I watched your Hotel Nacional video and now this one, and I'm excited to add an apricot liqueur to my bar now. My question is, you use the Giffard Abricot du Roussillon here and the Rothman & Winter Apricot Liqueur for the Hotel Nacional. I have both available locally, for $33 and $23 respectively. Which would you recommend as a general 'apricot liqueur' if cost isn't a concern? Thanks!
As someone who isn’t really familiar with rums, maybe an episode explaining the different types and where one is generally better than another for various drinks? How is a gold rim different than a clear rum or a spiced rum? Or is a spiced rum the same as a gold rum? Thanks for the nice tiki drink recipe!
"I love this drink cuz it's super easy to make" [pulls out five bottles, nutmeg and homemade cream of coconut lol]
I really thought the same, like damn!!!
pulls out super obscure apricot liquer
Welcome to the world of tiki....
@@robertspearko8809 no thanks. Gimme some whiskey, a small bottle of bitters and a sugar cube.
@@albellis524 haha I feel ya, but I bout a cheap bottle of apricot brandy and I use it in place of any orange liquor. Works great
There is no way a guy who makes videos this good should only have 3.2k subscribers. Great production value and cool recipe.
Thanks, Cory! Appreciate the comment. Cheers!
thats how yt works:/ keep doing it please! the best cocktail channel on yt. I watch all of them, truffle on the rocks is also nice, but You have this extraordinary spark and like ToTR quality video:) cheers!
8940 subs so it seems to start going :-)
@@marctestarossa a week later and it's 15 thousand damn
He is starting to blow up. One of his videos was recently trending and within 3 days he went from 15k to nearly 20k.
Frozen pineapple fronds? That's genius! Thanks for that tip!
Absolutely! Cheers, Bruce! 🍹
Finally a Tradewinds made in Sweden. Took me a couple of weeks to get all the booze but when it all came together; a breeze of the southern hemisphere! 😁
Wonderful, Johan! Cheers to you!! 🏝
So two things:
1. I love that you used rums from my two home away from homes (PR & HI).
2. I didn’t watch you make the cocktail because I kept staring at the fire shirt.
😁
Puerto Rico and Hawaii are two incredible places to call a home away from home!! Absolutely beautiful islands. And you've got good taste in shirts 😂
Well done, Anders! I just got the book, Smuggler’s Cove, and the first drink I thought I would try is this one. Wow! I was blown away! Absolutely delicious, and made with your recipe for coconut cream. Thanks!
2nd video of yours that I'm watching. LOVE that you are commenting on how you talk about how the ingredients effect the taste of the drink. Particularly like how you discussed the impact of the flavor of the rum-NICELY DONE!!!
Just made this and it’s delicious! And boy am I glad I got the Koloa dark rum, the vanilla notes really round out each sip and it’s just a delight, thanks for the recipe!
I drink wine pretty much only. I still love these videos. Sometimes I dont even watch, I just listen. Anders has a very calming voice, and could probably make a channel about anything, even outside of anything in my interest, and I would still watch/listen.
Made these last night. used coco lopez and hiram walker apricot liqueur but everything else was the same as yours. my god, absolutely KILLER cocktail. the koloa kaui rum is a must, takes it to another level. thank you for sharing.
Made the cocktail tonight but subbed the Don q for Plantation 5 year. This is one of my ladies' and my new favorite tiki cocktail. Thank you so much for sharing!
After many months, I finally got my bottle of Giffard Abricot du Roussillon to make this drink, and I have to say, it tastes just like this video makes you imagine it would. I used the Koloa Dark and the vanilla notes are definitely a great match with the apricot. I also happened to have a bottle of Koloa Gold, and while it created something very yummy, smooth, and easy to drink altogether, I'm definitely subbing the latter for something more assertive next time. Cheers!
I love what you did to that umbrella. Perfect parts insouciant and whimsical for tiki!
Anders - I’ve literally watched 100 hours of your videos (many multiple times) since I found your channel about 3 months ago. I figured out I enjoy Rum and Tiki drinks to go along with what I already knew - margarita. I’m a tiki fan, but hadn’t made your trade winds until tonight. sO GOOD!!
Thanks!!
You are one of the best channels for cocktails! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I learn so much from u! 🤝🤩
This definitely doesn't looks complicate to make and sounds darn delicious. Now I want to make me this drink. I should stop watching your videos in the morning. hahaha Great job and a really cool shirt. Cheers Anders!
This one is easy enough for mornings 😂 Cheers!!
Great cocktail! I just recently came across your channel and love all that you like to do the classics! Took me a while to get a hold of the apricot liquor . Finally got some and tried this one last night. Very tasty!! and love that its equal parts! I used Hamilton 86 and Appleton Estates Signature rum.
This one is going on to my list of "Go-to's"
Thanks Anders, you made my weekend again, your recipes are gold 😊 Cheers 🍹
Cheers to you, David! Appreciate that. Happy weekend! 🍹
Doing a tiki day and going through Anders's recipes! On my second attempt, I tried 1/2 orange juice (fresh of course) and 1/2 lemon. It was delicious.
how flabby of you
I've just stumbled across your channel and I rapidly fell in love! Your style is so unique, and now I want to spend all of my money in bottles of booze to make those stunning cocktails! Cheers from Italy!!!
Thank you so much, Stefano! Cheers to you! 🇮🇹
You are AWESOME!!!! The detail you provide!!!
Easily one of my favorites just for the ease of making it. I subbed in Koloa to match your recipe after using Gosling's a few times and the results were even better.
You've pointed out that changing rums is a fun way to experiment. I make mine with Giffard, Smugglers Cove coconut cream recipe, El Dorado 8 year, and Hamilton Pot Still Gold. A bit more funk but so smooth. Cheers and thanks for your great videos. This is a wonderful drink.
Nice video! Great tip on building a tiki drink in the glass by swizzling it. I haven't tried this one, but it looks super tasty!
Love it! That looks so good!
We've made this several times now, and we also discovered it's delicious when you swap Creme de Mure for the apricot liqueur! Also the homemade cream of coconut is a MUST.
Creme de Mure is a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing - I’m so glad you’re enjoying this one!
Oooooh very different music this week! Love it!
Thanks, Marley! Tiki week is always fun for the musical options!
Definitely going to try this
I'm imagining being on my favourite beach, in Maui, right now, with this lovely Tiki cocktail!! Talk about perfection!! I have never made a Tiki drink, but I am about to try!! These flavours, together, look amazing and delicious!! Thanks Anders!!
This is a great starting point for tiki, Christine! I hope you enjoy it. It'll take you right to that beach on Maui 🏝😊
@@AndersErickson Sounds so lovely!! Thanks Anders!!
I like here your head is at! Especially with the warm weather coming!
Perfect timing Anders, My new tiki mugs should arrive tomorrow. This is a must try
This is the perfect drink to break them in! Cheers, Ryan!
Love the simplicity of this one! Good cocktails doesn't have to mean complicated👍!
Exactly! Some of my favorite cocktails are extremely simple. Cheers!
Great video! I will be making these this weekend.
I avoided rum for many years. I had overindulged when I was in my early 20s and basically burned myself out on rum in the worst of ways lol
I figured that it's been long enough and if I'm being honest I was getting a bit tired of whiskey. Then I saw this upload and my love for rum has been reinvigorated.
I've also had a romantic affair with mezcal recently so... I wanted to see if a tradewinds could be made with a bit of mezcal. It WORKS.
I've spent the past month working on making my own take on a tradewinds and this is what I created:
The Burning Plane
Atomizer Absinthe Rinse
3/4 oz Lemon juice
3/4 oz coconut cream
1 oz Citronge
1 oz Koloa Kaua'I Dark Rum
1 oz El Dorado 12 Yr Demerara Rum
1 oz Vida Mezcal
Shake. Serve in the glass of your choice. Garnish with orange wheel, luxardo cherry, and an orchid.
If you end up trying this (Anders or anyone else who finds this post), let me know what you think! It's become a favorite of my friends and family.
This!!! Wow, loved it so much. What a great tiki!
So happy you liked it! Cheers, David!
Anders this looks good. I am going to experiment with this :) And see what fun ensures!!
Thanks, David! It's so good with any number of rums. I'm sure you'll be a fan!
Very cool looking drink. It looks super fun and gives off that great tiki vibe! Keep crushing it.
Cheers, Tyler! Appreciate that. Enjoy the weekend!
Tried a variation on this tonight. Because I can't stand apricot, I substituted banana liqueur for the apricot, and my god was it good. Really recommend trying the variation.
Watched this for roughly the sixth time today (New Year's Day) and coincidentally caught the reference to being born in the last week of the 70s...so allow me to wish you a happy (belated) Birthday, sir! (And a very happy New Year to you and Az!) Huge congrats on the new space and influx of subscribers; very well deserved. Cheers! -Pete
This looks and sounds delightful Anders. Great cocktail
Dangerously delightful 😊 Thanks, Carl!
Absolutely delicious
I'd have to add a little extra creme of coconut because because I LOVE coconut in my drinks. But this looks delightful!
A little extra coconut wouldn't hurt at all. I think you'd love it. Easy drinking for sure!
Looks amazing.
Well done!
Love you Anders. Send many new bartenders your way 🙏
My fav channel 🙌
The inside-out tiki umbrella. Genius!
Just tried this. Strong as you'd expect but very pleasant. Going to try the next one with lime as I think it'll suit the coconut and rum.
Be sure to use cream of coconut and not coconut cream or milk!
I consider myself quite lucky to have found your channel. Thanks for having awesome recipes while simultaneously being fun to watch
Do love the Tradewinds. Have made with Gosling's Black Seal and Plantation 5 year. My apricot was Rothman and Winter. Was super surprised the coconut is background unlike a Pain Killer. If you're reading this and haven't made one stop waiting and get to it.
I've been watching all your videos for a while and this drink is just fantastic. They go down so easily, it's as if they're a juice box. Your videos rock and it's awesome when you include your girl. She adds a lot to every video she's in.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos - and especially this drink! I also love when Az is on camera with me 😊 Thanks for the comment!
You have MADE MY ENTIRE YEAR by sharing this recipe. This is one of my fave Tiki drinks EVER the way you make it and NOW I CAN HAVE IT IN QUARANTINE!
The secret's out, and it only took the better part of a year in quarantine 😂 You've deserve this drink! Cheers!
Nice video bro
I’m try to make one this weekend 🤙🏽
Thanks! You're going to love it. Cheers!
If the metal sizzle stick is made out of steel, then it shouldn't scratch the glass as glass usually has hardness of ~5.5 and steel around 4.5 (Mohs). So glass is harder and can't be scratched by the softer steel. But the values may vary depending on the type of glass and steel in question.
Great channel, really enjoyable to watch as a chemist! :)
WOW!!! This looks awesome. I've been meaning to buy some apricott for a while. Now I HAVE to get some. Great music, btw!!!!!
Thanks, Tim! Definitely grab a bottle if you can. And thanks for noticing the music!
@@AndersErickson The music sets the mood!!
I’ve made this with Appleton Estate 12 and Pusser’s Gunpowder Proof and it was pretty great. It was very rich and I think it would be good blended like a Pina Colada.
I've fiddled with this one a few times now. I love it with 1/3rd an oz of home-made Orgeat added (your Orgeat recipe).
Completely underrated channel, keep killing it Anders
Thank you, Greg! Appreciate that - cheers to you! 🥃
Love this Anders! Didn't know about this drink. Sounds super cool. I would definitely use some Hamilton in it
Thanks, Gabriel! The Hamilton is very good in this one. It's hard for me not to use it in most of my rum drinks!
Today I learned of the existence of the swizzle stick tree. And the drink looks good too.
That tree sure can make a good cocktail.
Nature's blender is now my new favorite term!
I guess I'm making this for our Happy Hour!
I'll need to make this!! I have a metal swizzle stick. Works well and has not scratched the glass yet
That's so good to know. Thank you! Okay, now I might have to get one 👍
Love yer stuff Anders. I grew up in Puerto Rico and my preferences for rum were: 1 Ron Superior, and 2 Don Q. I understand that Bacardi caught on to this and bought both the Superior and Don Q distilleries! Regardless, whenever I see one of your You tubes I’m all over it, and I’ve got a crush on Az as well. Great work, take care, 73 Tom KC3QAC
Thanks for the video. I subscribed to your channel about a week ago ... wish I’d found it before quarantine! Lol. So I went and bought a ton of stuff to make some of there yummy looking drinks. So far I have just done the Aviation. I had got into a vodka soda or Manhattan vibe as those were easy ... but I like how your creations are like art! So beautiful! My goal is to try to create some of these wonderful libations. You make it look so easy! Hopefully this Guy will catch on .... lol thanks again, Max
Thanks, Max! Cheers to you! 🥃
Love that you use don q
This looks so delicious!!!
Definitely a crowd pleaser! Cheers!
Good drink
Man the Ol' Jason Archer and I have been doing "bartender's choice" tiki drinks at our bar recently and your vids have helped a lot with some inspiration! Keep up the great content man.
Thanks! I'm curious what the two of you are pouring. Jason knows all the best recipes!
@@AndersErickson he's a beast man.
This looks awesome! I think I just ordered those same glasses 😂 ...I also keep pineapple fronds in the freezer, my wife thinks I’m weird 😂😂
Love these glasses! And if you're weird because of the pineapple fronds, so am I 😂 Thanks, Rob!
LOVE me a good tradewinds. I only have a cheap apricot brandy (by DuBouchette) at the moment. I gotta try to get my hands on the Giffard.
If you can get a bottle of the Giffard, I highly recommend it. If you can't, that's okay. It'd be fun to try a side-by-side with the DuBouchette! Cheers, Dominic!
So perfect! I just watched your presentation of the “Hotel Nacional” and thought, “ that sounds great, but I’m not buying a bottle of apricot liqueur for one application!” And BAM! another apricot liqueur drink!
You’re good...you’re real good!
Sláinte!
BTW, I’m planning on using Gosling’s and Smith & Cross. Thoughts?
😂 I love it. Now you have to get that apricot liqueur! And I'm a fan of both rums. The Gosling's is nice and easy for a dark rum, and I like mixing with Smith & Cross because of its bold flavor and higher proof. I think they'll do well in the Tradewinds. If you find one overpowers the other, just adjust the ratios to your liking. Cheers!
Hey just found your channel. It is real and good. I watch a lot of educated barfly, HTD, Steve the bartender, and behind the bar. I really like them and I really like your channel as well. I like when at the end of the French 75 when your camera person came around, that was cool, do that more at the end when you share, sometime she sips, do that on camera, it is good!
Thanks, Jake! Glad you like the channel. Hopefully we'll have her on more. Cheers!
Anders, I think I was the best thing to come in the 70s 😂 , but I guess the Tradewinds beat us all. What a wonderful Tiki Sip. I need the summer back ASAP.
Great response, Georgi 🤣 Tough to beat this drink though. One sip and summer doesn't seem so far away!
@@AndersErickson, I am making this for sure. Can't resist.
i love the music.
Delicious. Unique as a tiki but oddly familiar creamsicle vibe
I said Anders made tiki today! J said “Lonely Penguin?” I said no and then he cried lonely penguin tears. Thank you both for another lovely break from reality.
😂 "lonely penguin tears". I owe Juan that cocktail. You both deserve a good tiki!
Sigh. #1 on post-lockdown agenda is returning to my second hand shop to find a shirt that is at least half a tiki-lit as yours.
Also, good easy tiki cocktail! Much needed!
Hahaha. I love a good tiki shirt. I look forward to the post-lockdown hunt as well! Cheers!
Awesome video Anders. Too bad I don’t have the ingredients for tonight but hopefully soon.
Thanks, Jack! Definitely one to try. Whenever that may be...no rush 😂
Really nice to find a tiki drink that doesn’t require loads of niche ingredients
Try a hurricane! It’s only rum, lemon juice and passion fruit syrup and Anders has an excellent video for making the passion fruit syrup.
wow this sounds great, cannot wait to try one! but the hawaiian rum may be hard for me to find in florida, any substitution recommendations?
Anders, if you want to do a bit of research into American Tiki culture, check out the Kahiki Supper Club in Columbus, Ohio. It opened in 1961, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, and it was demolished three years later. But for quite a while, it was THE place to go.
Great Video! Just found the channel! You got my Sub!
Cheers, Chris! Thank you so much!
Anders: extremely simple and you don’t need a million ingredients
Then proceeds to use 7 ingredients 5 utensils plus ornaments
And makes it look so easy!
Hey, Anders! First off, I love your videos. You explain it all simply and clearly have fun doing it. I am looking to add to my bar and want to make this drink, but am having trouble finding any apricot liqueur in my area. Is apricot brandy an adequate substitute? For my first time making drinks I like to be as close to the original recipe as possible but I also don't want to pay $10 to ship a $25 bottle if I can substitute brandy from my local liquor store lol
You’ve really blown up since this video! It’s been long overdue
Very beautiful video my dear friend❤️👍.
Stay safe stay connected👍
Yeah, this is a no-brainer this weekend! And how good is that Giffard Apricot!? Their new lineup is amazing
Agreed! Giffard has some great bottles. Love the apricot. Have a great weekend, Trevor! Cheers!
@@AndersErickson 🥃🥂
Anders, what’s up dude!? So, hey, we have some stuff in common. I used to bartend at the Ruth’s Chris on Dearborn back from 1999 to 2003. Also, back in September I met Cody with Unicorn Auctions to discuss HR services (that’s what I sell 😊) and I told him I do stand-up and he told me I should start a UA-cam channel. He told me his friend Anders started one making classic cocktails. I said no way, I’m already subscribed 🤣. So cool. Anyways, wanted to let you know I love your videos! A lot of stuff I have for my bar is because of you. Thanks 😊. Your format is unbelievably good! Anyways, the reason I’m reaching out is because I wanted to let you know. I wanted to make a trade winds and I didn’t have cream of coconut so I tried orgeat instead… yeah… don’t do that. Not good. 🤣🤣🤣.
Nutmeg is the perfect topping for all tiki cocktails
Hi, I hope you are having a great day, I couldn’t be able to find any of this 2 rum, the same with the la favorita agricole rum , I was wondering if you can suggest any other brands. I am from Venezuela and I would like to ask if could you prepare a coctel with diplomatic rum exclusive reserve. Thanks for your time. I love your videos .
"My Go-To Easy Tiki" ... proceeds to name 3 out of 5 ingredients I've never had in my bar. 🙂😅
surfside sips makes glass swizzle sticks, that could be a good alternative to the traditional swizzle stick?
steel in very rare cases can scratch the glass since the hardness in most cases of steel is 50-60 HRC and glass is 80 so you don't have to worry
69% OFTD Plantation has been my go-to 🤤
Made the Tradewinds tonight. It’s staying on the list. Thought it had a little Skittles taste to it but tasty! Also made the Hotel Nacional, pass…
Tiki time!!!!! 🤙🏽🏝🗿😎🍹🍍
Anders, what is the purpose of the swizzle stick vs. putting everything into a boston shaker for a few seconds?
Please explain the difference apricot brandy (easier to find in Hawaii) would make instead of the apricot liqueur
So, i made this with hamilton dark jamacian, and eldorado 5yr, and its sooo much more rich and flavorful! Dangerous delicious, as you wont realize youve had too many till you roll over face first in the sand. Lol
Is there any reasonable replacement for coconut cream, etc. I'm allergic to coconut (all tree nuts though we were able to make orgeat with simple syrup and artificial almond extract)? This sounds like a great drink but I need to sub the coconut cream. Thanks!
