Rum Old Fashioned with Chocolate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Today you'll learn how to make a delicious variation of the most popular cocktail in the world - a Rum Old Fashioned with Chocolate. Also, do you know what the first definition of a "cocktail" was? You'll find out in this episode! For this cocktail I used one of the most awarded rums in the world - Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva. Chocolate notes pair nicely so I used homemade chocolate and coffee bitters and garnished with a small piece of dark chocolate. I also used a Regal stir technique to add some citrus notes. All that makes for a delicious cocktail.
And don’t forget, July 11th marks the World Rum Day, so treat yourself that day with a good rum Old Fashioned!
Don Junacho Old Fashioned:
• 50 ml (1 2/3 oz) Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
• 1 bar spoon rich demerara syrup
• 3 dashes chocolate bitters
• 1 dash coffee bitters
• orange peel (Regal stir)
• chocolate with sprinkled salt for garnish
To make rich simple syrup combine 2 parts sugar to 1 part water.
Enjoy responsibly.

Such a great version of the Old Fashioned! Thanks for sharing and cheers! 🥃
Our pleasure! We are so glad that you liked it!
I love drinking this rum neat or on the rocks. Such a rich, dark, sweet rum! 🧊🥃
typically i've made mine with Ron Zacapa. I do have some diplomatico and will try that next!.
H7sband and I just picked up a bottle to make this RUM OF and although I didn't have any coffee Bitters I added a couple drops of homemade Kahlula. Beautifully balanced craft cocktail, thank you for sharing! Even my 71yo mom kept mine after sampling it! ❤
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Kahula! Great choice!
Just made my first of many Rum Old Fashion cocktails. Love it. Thanks for the instruction Kevin.
Nice. You are welcome Chad!
Little known fact, if you look up the word 'cool' you find a picture of this guy.
Haha thanks!
Yes, Kevin is the coolest! Especially w/ the Mustache! #saludcita
A classy portrait
Also the word amazing person
Love rum old fashioned cocktail. greetings from Croatia
Hvala! Pozdrav iz Slovenije! 😉
You should do a series where you show exquisite spirits and a drink to make with it! I love seeing all the high quality spirits you have; because then I can seek them out and try them!
Thank you for the idea!
taking a look at your recent videos and these old ones, im glad you found groove and cadence when talking in front of the camera. the watching experience has been greatly enhanced
this is an amazing and unique version of an Old-Fashioned. Thanks for the inspiration. cheers
Mmmm, nikoli probal se mi pa definitivno lušta zdaj 👌👍
Koda popusta za naročilo ruma že deluje, tako da bo treba poskusiti 😃😉
@@KevinKos vsekakor👍👍👍
Apparently Diplomatico is only called Botucal in Germany. I wondered why the bottles look identical and figured its the same rum under a different name. But I didn't know that the reason behind this is a german discount store, named Aldi. They had a brandy called Diplomat and sued for the name. That is so german, I love it.
I didn't know that. I was wondering why Diplomatico wears the Botucal label on some photos. That is so interesting. Thank you!
Bravo res, kar tako naprej 😊
Hvala lepa ☺️
Hey Kevin here Called Ronfashioned the same recipe with a little Twist !
I thought I had already nailed the rum old fashioned with chocolate bitters, but I have to admit this is a winner all day long.
🙏 Se mi je kar zaluštal en Old Fashioned 🤭🥃🥃
Definitivno si bo treba narediti enega za svetovni dan ruma 😉😃🥃🥃
I think I should subscribe...
Man of culture
Cheers!
Maestro!
Great cocktail, love it 😊🥃 but I would go with Espresso Martini 🥰🍸
🍸🍸 Espresso Martini is always good choice 👌😃
very high quality videos, love this one
Much appreciated!
Hi Kevin! All of your videos are amazing! do you have a video on how to make the coffee bitters? If not, will you be making one anytime soon?
Fantastic+
I have this Diplomatico rum, but it seems that the internet loves to hate it for being too sweet.
Reserva Exclusiva has some added molasses honey so it's sweeter than other rums out there. But Planas, Mantuano or other premium bottles have less or even no sugar in them. I like it, but you have to be careful when balancing it with the sugar.
@@KevinKos what's "molasses honey"?
Rum snobs hate anything too sweet. I imagine they’re the type of people who add zero seasoning to food. Diplomatico is delicious. And that’s all that really matters.
@@jayhag5481 from the stuff that I've heard some people say I'm under the impression that some people dislike sweetness and dislike flavor and they like lack of flavor or unpleasant flavors like bitterness or plain tabaco. I will never understand what's wrong with them but this makes no sense. Unless it's like a masochism thing where they love to suffer. Either way it appears that they're f'd in the head. Their favorite meal may be water with parchment paper.
@@KevinKos they haven't added actual honey in it right? Also I thought it was "naturally" sweet but you say that just tossed in a bunch of some sweetener? What do you mean by "balancing it with the sugar"?
Vrhunsko!
Hvala 😊
Awesome video. Good work 👌
Puno hvala, brate! 😉
Really enjoying your channel! Love seeing your spin on the classics. Sazerac perhaps?
Thank you! Sazerac is such a great drink. I will have it in my mind. Cheers!
Hello Kevin, great cocktail I had done it before with Appleton Jamaican Rum but I will try it again with the Diplomatico as soon as I get my hands on a bottle. I was surprised that you call for one bar spoon of sirup instead of a fixed measure like 1/4 oz or a tea spoon, my bar spoon and yours is not necessarily the same.
Hi, Denis! Thank you for putting this out. My full bar spoon is 5ml but I have to be more precise when writing down the recipes for a reason you mentioned. We don't all have the same volume of a bar spoon. It's a way I am used to making an Old Fashioned in a bar where I work since in this case I use all the syrup added into the spoon which is the tool later used for stirring the drink. In jigger, there may be left some rich syrup. Thank you for the advice. I will be more precise in future episodes.
Personally I think that a good Rum has a Rum "funk" to it with notes of banana, caramel, cane sugar and age. Or pineapple if it's a Pinapple Rum like Plantation's variant. So I don't look for fruity chocolate notes in a Rum... though that does sound interesting.
Hi! Great video. Beautifully guided.
May you share with recipe for chocolate bitters? I have one from angostura's but don't feel enough chocolate for me...
Cheers 🍹👋
Maybe I will make it on the channel one day. Until then you can get two of my bitters recipes for free on my new web page. Check it out: kevinkos.com
@@KevinKos that would be great
Thank you ✌
Great video, love the bloopers too 😉
Could you do Manhattan next time?
Thanks! As you can see we have a lot of fun while making these episodes 😃. Manhattan is a great cocktail! I can't promise you that it will be in the next episode, but it will be there in the future for sure 😉 cheers
cool man
Maybe White Russian one day? 😎
The Dude from the Big Lebowski would aprove 😃🥃☕
Mojito please. Excelent video. Regards from Perú. Did you try Peruvian Rums? Milllonario or Cartavio maybe?
Thanks a lot! So happy that you like it! I haven't tried it yet but I am sure I will in near future. Cheers!
would you make scofflaw.
I made this the other day and it was wonderful. I had Fee Brothers Aztec chocolate bitters, which was very interesting. Unfortunately I had no coffee bitters, but I am aching to look for a recipe to try, as I think a bit of coffee aroma would elevate this riff. I will probably experiment with chocolate bitters too.
Interestingly enough, I have not found any coffee bitters on the market. Only cocoa bitters, which I am not sure would be very distinct from choco bitters. Any thoughts?
I'm planning to make this with a coffee syrup in place of coffee bitters.
Whare can I find all ingredients?
Diplomatico is usually widely approachable. I make my own Coffee and Chocolate bitters. You can get chocolate bitters from Angostura or Fee Brothers. If it's hard for you to get Coffee bitters, you can infuse Chocolate Angostura with coffee and use that, or you can make coffee/demerara syrup and use that in a cocktail. Cheers!
How did you make the bitters?
I haven't made chocolate bitters on the channel yet, but you can watch episodes about orange, pimento and winter spice bitters.ALso, you can subscribe to my newsletter on kevinkos.com to get grapefruit and lavender bitters recipes. Cheers!
Instead of using the name of a cocktail that traditionally has a different/specific spirit, why can’t the we just come up with a different name for the cocktail? I don’t hear anyone replacing tequila with bourbon in a margarita and calling it a bourbon margarita. Just like a martini…the base spirit is gin…replacing it with vodka, makes a fundamentally different cocktail.
I think you are a genius in cocktails. But, picking up chocolate to eat out of an old fashioned seems asinine. However I still think youre a cocktail genius. no offense but... no
