No matter how much hard work your cocktails take, I always end up making them! That's a testament to how wonderful your channel is. By the way, there's a wonderful video on milk clarification called "Make Clarified Cocktails The Fast & EASY Way! [Reverse Engineered Milk" by the channel Vintage American Cocktails. He uses rennet and calcium chloride to "depasteurise" the milk and claims that the clarification process is much much faster this way, getting 1.5L of punch in just an hour of filtering. Would love to see this method tested on your channel.
Awesome vid Kevin! I recently made a tequila based fig leaf liquor, sooo good. I live on a region full of fig trees. Best time of year to pick up those leaves is late spring (end of may/beginning of June). It's the moment before the buds grow and take all the flavors away from the leaves. When the fruit start to grow you gradually lose more and more flavor.
Recently came up with a fig leaf cocktail myself. A Blueberry and fig leaf daiquiri, it’s so good! Infused blueberries into Havana club 3y (sous vide for about 2h) and made a fig leaf simple syrup simply by cooking the syrup and fig leaves on low for a couple of minutes and letting everything steep for an hour. That’s it, you use all the stuff to make a classic daiquiri (or use a full 30ml of the simple syrup if your blueberries were tart). Amazing cocktail 😮💨
⛲️ inspiring video Kevin. I love the idea of using foraged ingredients in drinks. I currently have elderflower champagne fermenting under my stairs from some trees at the end of my street - The same trees my grandfather foraged from to make his decades ago. I was unaware that you could use fig leaves like this however. I'm now interested in finding one near me to try this out!
Great Episode! Hitting all the points for me. I've been into High Balls lately. I've got fig leaves and no figs. I love Darcy and the he deserves so much more attention. Now I want the smaller carbonate. ⛲⛲
Hello Kevin, I love your videos and there are the basics of my mixology now ( like books). I am having some trouble to find the lactic acid in powder as you use. Could you help out ? Is it okay the lactic acid vegan powder that is suggested by a UK website ?
Lactic acid is not available where I live. Is there any acid that can be used as a substitute? If so, can I use the same amount? I'm really desperate, please help me
I'm not really sure about the syrup as a replacement. You said that the leaves are mildly sweet and have a slight taste of vanilla and coconut. The description on the bottle of the syrup says that the caramelisation brings out honey and dried fruit taste. Do you have any other alternative recommendations? I've heard that clarification is also possible with coconut milk. Would that work if I also added a dash of vanilla?
Yes, you are right, it's not a replacement for a cordial, but for a fig taste. You won't get simmilar taste to this drink, but it's a nice fig syrup to work with. Clarification is also possible with coconut milk (or other nut milks) indeed. Vanilla extract sounds like a great idea!

I quite enjoy fig leaf tea, and this recipe makes me very excited.
Definitely need to try this one out. Thanks for the recipe.
Cheers! ⛲
Thanks for the mention @KevinKos

⛲ Thanks Kevin. My wife and I love learning from your videos. I know what I'm making for my birthday today.🥳⛲
Happy birthday, Michael! Enjoy the cocktails 😉
Hi Kevin, i would love to see how i can use cedar wood in a syrup or as an parfum, please make a video about. Thank you for all your inspiration
thank you for the suggestion.
⛲️⛲️⛲️ thank you so much! Looking forward to making this at our Christmas party!
Cheers
Omg, you're my discovery of the month!
The recipe for the Fig Cordial is phenomenal! This cocktail is a great in between seasons recipe and can't wait to try it out!
C︎heers! ⛲︎
My fig trees are a few weeks from dropping their leaves, this looks like a great use for them!
enjoy crafting fig leaf drinks! Cheers!
what kind of filter cloth do you use for clarifying? what material is it made of? how many mesh/micron is it? thanks in advance for the answers
⛲ greenspot is one of my fav's
I love it!
Awesome work...🎉🎉❤
If I had access to fig leaves I'd surely try to make it! At this point it's posticipated to the next year near home, I'm extremely curious!
Don't forget to try this next year! Cheers!

glad you like it! Cheers!
Ha! I was literally just wondering why we didn’t use lactic acid for milk washing. Great call
No fig 🍃 near me, so I'd love a suggested recipe for making the soda out of the Liber & Co syrup! ⛲
⛲ thanks for the recipe!
My pleasure 😊
⛲ that soda maker seems great, I'd like to see more soda creative recipes to make mocktails, seems fun.
cheers!
Hello Kevin, I love your videos and there are the basics of my mixology now ( like books).
I am having some trouble to find the lactic acid in powder as you use. Could you help out ? Is it okay the lactic acid vegan powder that is suggested by a UK website ?
Where can i buy the super large coffee filter that you have?
Hmmm, I don't have a good source of fig leaves here. I'll come back to this when I find some. Thanks Kevin! ⛲
Can i ask some think ? What about the rate of citric acid on cordial ? I heard that 3gram of citric acid should be mixed with 100ml of juice ?
I’d really to know how you land on the lactic acid / similar chemicals number. Where can I read more about this?
As much as I love carbonating with an actual CO2 tank, the isi twist and sparkle looks like it might be a better solution for me.
Next time Try kaffir leaves cream soda sir👌🏼
⛲ the twist and sparkle looks pretty cool ⛲
it is cool indeed!
Amazing! So much knowleg in 7min🙌
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Kevin, I've always wanted a copy of Fix The Pumps but I can't seem to see a way of getting it in the UK, how did you get yours?
have you checked on Amazon? Check out the link in my description. Cheers!
Just yesterday, I noticed all the leaves on my fig tree. Thanks for the fig leaf syrup idea. 🍃 ⛲️
cheers!
Lactic acid is not available where I live. Is there any acid that can be used as a substitute? If so, can I use the same amount? I'm really desperate, please help me
You can use other acids in the same amount, but the mouthfeel won't be the same anymore. Try to purchase acid on Amazon.
⛲ I love figs so I'll definitely be trying this. Thank you Kevin! Cheers.
Cheers!

Love your videos man! Have you tried incorporating leather or incense into a drink?
Not yet but thank you for the idea!
Cheers! ⛲️
⛲ I have a weird video idea/request (?) Not sure if you like perfumes but can you made some perfume inspired cocktails?
Interesting idea! Thank you!
