  • Cream Soda made with Fig Leaf is the secret for the best Highball! Fig leaves have a mild, slightly sweet flavor, with subtle notes of vanilla and coconut, so today I’ll show you how to turn them into a delicious creamy soda, and use that for a highball that’s perfect for the end of the summer. We’ll then pair it with Irish whiskey and dry vermouth, for a perfectly balanced cocktail that will for sure catch your guests’ eye. That’s why I’ll teach you how to make both a single serving, as well as a batched version for your next party or event, so if you’re ready pull up a chair and get comfortable. It’s Cocktail Time!

    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.

    ⛲️ 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!

    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 😮‍💨

    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?

    • @KevinKos
      @KevinKos  11 місяців тому +1

      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!
