  • 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.

    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.

    • @KevinKos
      @KevinKos  2 роки тому +2

      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.

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.

    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.

    • @KevinKos
      @KevinKos  2 роки тому +4

      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.

  • @Kaijugan
    @Kaijugan Рік тому

    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.

    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?

      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!

    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.
