For your original cocktail, why not call it the "Now You Know"? It looks right up my street, by the way. I have all the ingredients, so I'll try one this evening.
My wife thinks it should be named “Through the desert”. The reasoning, “she said it’s really juicy and if you’re going through the desert...you should take a drink with no name”

The fact that you dry shook that Rum Monte while in a light coloured dress goes to show how confident you are in your dry shakes! I usually have to put on something I don't care to spill my cocktail on... Also chiming in for "Now you Know" as the cocktail name.
I do love the idea of “Now You Know,” but I’d like to suggest you name it the “You’re Hired” in honor of its role in your journey as a masterful and brilliant mixologist.
Wow. I just made The Drink With No... I mean the Cariño, and I don't want to sound too dramatic about it but in my book that's about as close to a perfect cocktail as they come. Absolutely amazing. :)
For the original cocktail name ideas, I like: ▪ "The Devine" suggestion, as well as others based on that ("Devine Intervetion / Deliverance / Right"); ▪ "The Cara", as well as the "Caramaro / Caramari" suggestions; ▪ something related to the "Down Under" name, or related to "Scottish Girl / Scot in Melbourne / Down Under Scot"... something of sorts; ▪ finally, the "A Drink with No Name" suggestion is very appealing... reminds me of the "A Horse with No Name" song (you know, chilling, relaxing, talking about the desert), and the name itself is interesting, kind of mysterious, and even a bit classy of sorts... just imagine: "Give me a Drink with No Name, plaese". Btw, I love you and your channel. ♥
Got two name suggestions. 1) "Trial shift" because then you'll never run out of barbacks. 2) "What are bitters?" because three of the ingredients contain bettering agents, and you can say "now you know" as you serve the drink.
Great drinks! I cant wait to try them all. I submit "Got a Right to Be Cocchi" for the as-yet-unnamed cocktail. I love your videos, Cara. Keep on with 'em!
Oh wow... I'm having your No Name drink right now, and it is so good! Luckily I had some Cocchi Americano on hand. I had to go pretty extravagant with some Four Square 2007 rum, because I didn't have anything else appropriate. But well worth it! Fee Bros Walnut and Aztec Chocolate bitters. "Now You Know" also gets my vote.
My favourite averna cocktail is a take on the "Intercontinental". The original recipe calls for 1/1 brandy and averna, and a dash of maraschino liquor. I did 2/0.8 brandy and averna and no maraschino liquor (not completely filling the smaller side of the jigger gives the brandy a bit more space, for me this really makes a difference). Basically a "black brandy manhattan". It's a really delicious cocktail, rich and elegant - best enjoyed with some soft quiet jazz in the background and dimmed light. (btw my first try was with Ramazotti, that's ok too but averna is much better...)
I don't know what you call it but the drink is gorgeous... I'd suggest "One Hand Tied" behind the bar, as it seems like an easy drink, but it's very complex in flavors.
Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve been using Amari to change the taste of drinks forever (Negroni 50/50 Campari and Averna or Nonino), and been delighted to hear from the master herself they have a name (sometimes) and it’s not an unspeakable practice as I thought. 🙏🏻
Thanks Cara, this is one of the most mouthwatering episodes yet. 😋 The magic you have shown with sherry and amari is a never-ending delight. Although it makes me feel I'm never catching up.😓😏 SO ... NAMES. How about: THE BITTER BEND THE BOSS'S TEST THE COCCHI COCKTAIL Happy judging!😊
I have a cocktail I haven’t named in 20 years or so. It combines Spiced Rum, Midori, Melon Vodka and Banana Liqueur, and is one of my wife’s favourites, though I’m not so keen myself. I also have one I’ve named 28% of Cocktails Are Made Up On The Spot...
The Black Manhattan is an amazing cocktail, after seeing the video I had to pick up some Averna (I'm the manager of a package store). I really wanna try the Naked and Famous, I love the Paper Plane and a Mezcal variation sounds amazing
Alright, hear me out: New TV series starring Cara. She owns a bar. Regulars include a woodworker, an uber driver, a fisherman/woman, an unemployed TV news presenter that got fired for screaming obscenities thinking they weren't on air. They all love Cara, but 50% of the time they can't understand through the accent, so they answer questions incorrectly. When she kicks someone out of the bar, they say something like "you kick people out for that?", she responds: "Aye. So, now you know." Woody Harrelson owns the neighboring Marijuana dispensary and makes regular appearances. Cocktail name idea: Que Sera Cara
The Artichoke Hold sounds really amazing! Gonna have to get some Cynar. I recently made a Black Manhattan with Meletti Amaro, after attending an online class from Meletti. It was really delicious! I'll try it with Averna too once I have a bottle of that. It's looking like 2021 is going to be all about building out my amaro selection :)
@@BehindtheBar Of course it would! I should have thought of that. You should develop a whole line of Buckfast cocktails - "The Glasgow Kiss", "A Kick in the Goolies", etc.
I think "drink with no name" is suitably epic and doesn't actually need to be changed. However, seeing as its star ingredient is the Nonino and in keeping with the Spaghetti Western theme, how about "bevanda senza nome"?
In fact.....why be modest. Everyone has a moment of fame and you deserve it. Call it a Cara Divine. If not then - I have to say ‘Divine Intervention’ is a close second.
For your original cocktail, why not call it the "Now You Know"? It looks right up my street, by the way. I have all the ingredients, so I'll try one this evening.
I agree- so now you know or now you know
Seconding on calling this drink the "Now you know".
Name Suggestion: „Devine Intervention“ ;)
Gotta agree with “now you know.” It’s your tagline. Arnold Schwarzenegger had “I’ll be back.” This one is yours.
Arnold get' invited to a fancy dress ball where they all have to go as classical composers, he says:
'I'll be Bach'
Haha!
He who would pun would pick a pocket...
Adding support for “so now you know”
When you combine your name - Cara - with Nonino, you get “Cariño”, which is lovely word that describes both you, and the drink!
Aw I just had to look that up but it’s cute!
That was damn smooth, but I have to agree with the name.
Great suggestion! Actually perfect.
We have a winner!!
Don't be shy to claim the name! Sounds fabulous!
My wife thinks it should be named “Through the desert”. The reasoning, “she said it’s really juicy and if you’re going through the desert...you should take a drink with no name”
First name that popped into my mind was «Devine delight» 🤷♀️

Thank you pal, appreciate that!
Adding, so now you know. Clearly the winner
"Devine Deviation" - you made a twist on a classic and so hence the name
Ooh good!
I'm way late to this party , but if I wasn't, I would have suggested "The Caramaro" as the name for your cocktail.
“ *La Presidenta* “ is all i could think of
The fact that you dry shook that Rum Monte while in a light coloured dress goes to show how confident you are in your dry shakes! I usually have to put on something I don't care to spill my cocktail on... Also chiming in for "Now you Know" as the cocktail name.
Haha! I actually hardly ever wear light tops filming cause I know I’m messy and Josh will freak out about the continuity if I spill 🙈
'Boozy, brooding and take themselves quite seriously' is the best description of Cynar cocktails EVER! Another brilliant video Cara!
Ha! Thanks pal 😊
I do love the idea of “Now You Know,” but I’d like to suggest you name it the “You’re Hired” in honor of its role in your journey as a masterful and brilliant mixologist.
Haha!
"now that I run the bar" good on ya!
"Devine" fits! 🥃
Rolls of the tongue well when ordering too.
I'd cast a vote for "treat yourself", and suggest that in it's top shelf form, made with the good stuff, it should be called the "divine treat"
Honestly, “The Drink with No Name” is a pretty badass name all on its own! reminiscent of the hit song by the band America
That's what I'm saying!
Love the Devine Intervention but also throwing “Forever More” in the ring. Great channel!
Wow. I just made The Drink With No... I mean the Cariño, and I don't want to sound too dramatic about it but in my book that's about as close to a perfect cocktail as they come. Absolutely amazing. :)
Amazing, so glad you like it!
This drink needs to be named either the "Treat Yourself", or "I Run the Bar Now"
Ooh I like the last one 😜
From Scotland/Europe with Love.
For the original cocktail name ideas, I like:
▪ "The Devine" suggestion, as well as others based on that ("Devine Intervetion / Deliverance / Right");
▪ "The Cara", as well as the "Caramaro / Caramari" suggestions;
▪ something related to the "Down Under" name, or related to "Scottish Girl / Scot in Melbourne / Down Under Scot"... something of sorts;
▪ finally, the "A Drink with No Name" suggestion is very appealing... reminds me of the "A Horse with No Name" song (you know, chilling, relaxing, talking about the desert), and the name itself is interesting, kind of mysterious, and even a bit classy of sorts... just imagine: "Give me a Drink with No Name, plaese".
Btw, I love you and your channel. ♥
Plantation dark is delicious! One of my go-tos
Got two name suggestions. 1) "Trial shift" because then you'll never run out of barbacks. 2) "What are bitters?" because three of the ingredients contain bettering agents, and you can say "now you know" as you serve the drink.
This is the video that introduced me to amari. I watch it often! Thank you Cara!
The Forevermore cocktail ❤
I’d like Devinely mine. Bartender mixes the cocktail and then serves it saying: “Devinely Yours.”
Now You Know-nino 💡
Love all these cocktails!
I'd call it a "Golden Devine" cocktail. Great episode!
The Devine Right! 👑
Forevermore… like you said.
Amaro Devine!
Devine Deliverance
Great drinks! I cant wait to try them all. I submit "Got a Right to Be Cocchi" for the as-yet-unnamed cocktail.
I love your videos, Cara. Keep on with 'em!
The "Caranino". And thanks for the great episode. I picked up a bottle of Amaro Lucano, and have been wanting to mix it. Cheers!
Oh wow... I'm having your No Name drink right now, and it is so good! Luckily I had some Cocchi Americano on hand. I had to go pretty extravagant with some Four Square 2007 rum, because I didn't have anything else appropriate. But well worth it! Fee Bros Walnut and Aztec Chocolate bitters. "Now You Know" also gets my vote.
Artichoke hold 🤣 that’s a great name. Naming drinks is the hardest part for me. But I have to say it sounds really incredible. 👏👏
I'm throwing my hat into the ring for "So now you know"
"Cocktail to be named later ". BOOM!!!!
Maybe call it the "Shoe In" since it made you the shoe in for the job. Caramara Devine sounds cool too.
Awesome work as always... Cheers!
Haha! My mum used to call me Caramarara.
The "Now you know" idea is very good; however, you're searching for a name. So, how about, "Now You Know the Name"?
I second the "Now you know"
And the white Negroni was delicious. The Suze really dominates the drink despite being the smallest addition.
Fantastic. I do admit I like the name "The drink with no name" Could shorten it to "The Nameless" I will have to make one soon.
My favourite averna cocktail is a take on the "Intercontinental".
The original recipe calls for 1/1 brandy and averna, and a dash of maraschino liquor.
I did 2/0.8 brandy and averna and no maraschino liquor (not completely filling the smaller side of the jigger gives the brandy a bit more space, for me this really makes a difference).

I don't know what you call it but the drink is gorgeous... I'd suggest "One Hand Tied" behind the bar, as it seems like an easy drink, but it's very complex in flavors.
I have to cede that “Now you know” is pretty spot on, but my first thought was “Golden Hour”
Sounds too much like Golden Shower....which could totally work.
Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve been using Amari to change the taste of drinks forever (Negroni 50/50 Campari and Averna or Nonino), and been delighted to hear from the master herself they have a name (sometimes) and it’s not an unspeakable practice as I thought. 🙏🏻
Enjoyed seeing you use Diplomatico Reserva as that is currently my rum of choice.
This one just made it's way to my local, so I may be giving it a try soon.🤔
Thanks Cara, this is one of the most mouthwatering episodes yet. 😋
The magic you have shown with sherry and amari is a never-ending delight. Although it makes me feel I'm never catching up.😓😏
SO ... NAMES.
How about:
THE BITTER BEND
THE BOSS'S TEST
THE COCCHI COCKTAIL
Happy judging!😊
Ooh I like the Boss’s Test...
I suggest "Cara's Divine." Wonderful video!!
I'll put forward "Thistle Down Under" for the no-name non-negroni original. BTW, your videos have single-handled upped my pandemic home cocktail game!
The Rum Monti Sour was divine.
That's the recipe I like the most. Definitely give that a try this summer
I have a cocktail I haven’t named in 20 years or so. It combines Spiced Rum, Midori, Melon Vodka and Banana Liqueur, and is one of my wife’s favourites, though I’m not so keen myself. I also have one I’ve named 28% of Cocktails Are Made Up On The Spot...
Haha love that!
Can be called "Bitter sweet".
The Black Manhattan is an amazing cocktail, after seeing the video I had to pick up some Averna (I'm the manager of a package store). I really wanna try the Naked and Famous, I love the Paper Plane and a Mezcal variation sounds amazing
Averna is definitely one of my preferred amari. Trying to get into them more, but Fernet for example will forever be my Achilles heel
challenge accepted, back to the antique shop for awesome glassware to dust off and bring out to party once again!
The "Cara-mia"
"Always fine strain when you're using egg white as it prevents the ice chips from messing up your nice foamy head" Thanks for the wisdom!
_Forevermore_
Great video - I like seeing the options you have with amari. For the drink name, the Devine Wind :-)
I think you should call it "The Drink with No Name". Sounds fun and mysterious. It'll get people to order.

Caramaro or Caramari sound good :)
The Artichoke Hold sounds really amazing! Gonna have to get some Cynar.
I recently made a Black Manhattan with Meletti Amaro, after attending an online class from Meletti. It was really delicious! I'll try it with Averna too once I have a bottle of that.
It's looking like 2021 is going to be all about building out my amaro selection :)
Black Manhattans w/ high rye bourbons (think Wild Turkey 101 or Knob Creek) are awesome!! I've knocked back more than a couple of them.
Amaro Amori
I'm for calling it "Divina" for the Italian version of your last name.
Given where you work, "The Bombastic" is a good fit. Personally, I'm leaning towards "The Glasgow Kiss"!
The Glasgow Kiss would have to have Buckfast...
@@BehindtheBar Of course it would! I should have thought of that. You should develop a whole line of Buckfast cocktails - "The Glasgow Kiss", "A Kick in the Goolies", etc.
You should keep it simple and call it the Devine.
Call your drink the Project Mayhem
Obviously Te Devine
The drink with no name = Devine Knowledge
"Now you know" for the obvious reason that it is your special tagline.
"Trial run" since you came up with it on a request on your trial shift.
I like Trial Run actually!
The Divine Cara (if it’s not already been suggested)
God damnit I love this channel.
"The Drink with no Name" you say? Call it "Blondie". Yes, this is a nod to early Clint Eastwood and Spaghetti Western movies.
I suggest namig it Diplocanonino!
...a delicious mouthful!
How about “faffing about”? Great video as always!
Golden Tone
The 'Scozzie' - Scottish Aussie
Melbourne Slipper
The Devine Diplomat
Cara's Chocci Americano
Funnily enough, the Japanese Slipper was actually invented in Melbourne...
Now You Know! T he NYK
I think "drink with no name" is suitably epic and doesn't actually need to be changed. However, seeing as its star ingredient is the Nonino and in keeping with the Spaghetti Western theme, how about "bevanda senza nome"?
"The drink with no name" is an awesome name. Just use that.
“The Devinity”
Nonino Devine
Call it the Devine cocktail
I bought a bottle of amaro nonino because of this video.
Let me know how you like it!
I wouldn't want to be called by my last name, so Devine is out for me. Cara Amaro is pretty soft.
Devine Pride
The Aussie Brogue
Got a drink name for you: "Amari Devine." wait....are you laughing at me, or with me? No flames please. ;-)
Haha!
If you don't want a play on your name as suggested, then I'd go with "The cocky diplomat" to honour the ingredients
the drink shall be known as So Now You Nonino
I like this one too,
Very good.
Sorry for being Mr. Obvious here, but something like "Amaro Devine" sounds pretty good to me
The Bolivar Padrino
"Transatlantic Troupial" or "The Two Seas Negroni"
Name for the drink “Cara Mia”
How about the "Bittersweet Decorum"?!
You’re too modest to use this but with a name as good as yours..... I can easily imagine myself asking for a ‘Cara Divine’ at the bar.
😂
In fact.....why be modest. Everyone has a moment of fame and you deserve it. Call it a Cara Divine. If not then - I have to say ‘Divine Intervention’ is a close second.
