Hey man, love your vids. I had a question tho; why exactly would you skip on the soda in the clarified one? wouldn't it be too strong or intense being served like this, or does the clarification smooth it out enough for the soda to be redundant?
I worked at a cocktail bar in Sydney and was introduced to the Tonka bean and it changed my life. Pro tip Zubrowka (bison grass vodka) + Tonka Bean = delicious cocktails.
I’m a cuban bartender and shake the mojito is like a stab on my ❤, also if you shake it is gonna have a huge dilution. Now, in cuba we use Hierba buena instead of mints because it adds more flavor, also we use sugar instead of simple syrup, it mades the difference. And one last thing, dont put the limes inside, they add bitterness. Thank you again for bring us your content, i really love it. 🎉
The most underrated channel on youtube. Your editing draws the viewer in, and works perfectly with your style. I respect your craft more than you know.
I love how you of us new ideas/twists on classic cocktails. I really look forward to trying the clarified version of your Mojito very soon. Merci my friend.
Thanks Shawn! I really hope you will give it a try. It is very interesting to réalise how much a milk washed cocktail taste different than its regular version. I feel like doing it with some flavours we se so used to is the best way to realize that. Cheers
Tried the milk clarification technique on a variant of the original daquiri recipe using 2 oz. Capt. Morgan Private Stock, 1 oz. fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz. Turbinado syrup. Clarified beautifully with a light golden color. Served in a 5 oz. gold leaf cordial/rocks glass over a small clear ice sphere with a lime wheel garnish. The clarification really mellowed the edges of the citrus and the sugar. More experiments ahead - cheers!
WOW, that's some beautiful content over here! As a Bartender i have to say that your recipes and your gear is just on a premium level! In my eyes the best bartending/mixology content on UA-cam. And beside of that your video edits are also amazing. Congrats and keep going. Much love and support from Switzerland. Cheers!
The original Mojito as created in La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba, was made with freshly extracted sugar cane juice. Using turbinado sugar gives it a hint of the unique flavor of the juice from the cane squeezed through the trapiche. Great job!
Pretty incredible that I'm a Montreal francophone and it took me some time to recognize the accent!! Looks superb can't wait to try your version of my fav drink!!
Yeah same here! well lived there for many years... Only found out when he mentioned "Plantation 3 stars" no where near GSP english for example xD well done! and thanks for the great Mojitoes!
It is also delicious without it. When I tried the first clarified mojito I made it without and it developped some flavours that made me think about the Tonka beans hence I add some next
I made the clarified version and WOW, if it's not the smoothest cocktail I have ever had (even among all the clarified milk punches, this one takes the prize for tasting the most dangerous).
I've made it a habit to shake the lime, rum and syrup and then stir gently for a good while with mint in the glass. That way you get a lot of flavor while keeping the mint sprigs intact, it looks nicer. After watching this video I will make one change, I will add half a lime to the shaker. I'll have to try the clarified one too when I have the time!
this is probably one of the top three drinks of everyone who enjoys cocktails and those who don't. and you've made it three ways, made it look even more amazing.
i like to blend together ice, lime juice, simple syrup and dark rum then put awaken mint spings in my choice of glass and stir with bar spoon thoroughly and top it of with sparkling water. And there you have it - mojito slushie 😄
White rum is un aged in wood barrels. The colour of spirits comes from the barrel aging process. I like to say that 100% of the colour and 80% of the taste in spirits come from barrel aging. But be careful, Rum is a tricky category because some "dark rums" or "spiced rums" or even what they call "gold rums" aren't aged and the colour comes from food coloring so you have to be smart when it comes to rum but that's the usual rule of thumb. Cheers!
Lazy: Actually, I really rate that. Seemed like a good way incorporate all the flavours of a Mojito and create decent dilution in the drink without the need for any bar equipment / crushed ice. Pro: This drink would taste BITTER. The way to build a Mojito is to add simple syrup/granulated sugar, squeeze in some lime wedges and muddle. THEN add the mint. When mint is muddled it can create a very bitter flavour that is easily avoided by adding after muddling the lime and sugar together. However, all for experimentation when it comes to different rums and syrups. Clarified: Interesting concept. I've never tried Tonka bean before, so would be intrigued to see what that adds to the drink. Presentation wise, looked incredible. However, not sure if any dilution is created and could be quite a strong booze-forward Mojito! Something I've always enjoyed on a Mojito is a couple of dashes of angostura bitters at the top of the crushed ice. Looks quite nice as an additional garnish to the drink (kinda like a snow cone if you stack the ice!)
It is such a shame they are so hard to get in the US. That said, you can also use mélilot extract or bison grass if you want to mimic that flavour. Cheers
Mojito is actually my fav cocktail:) I never tried the clarified version didn`t even know it existed lol I think my fav would be the pro one but I`m probably gonna end up doing the lazy version xD
I've got a few of those mason jars that doing the "lazy" one at home seem like you've been bartending for years. Worth it if you like having people over.
Hello Truffles On The Rocks. I'm a bartender and your big follower. Really love what you are doing on UA-cam channel. I makes a lot of lime cordial at home, can you please show some great recipes, classic or signature with that. Looking forward to it!!! Sincerely your Follower.🙌🙌🙌Wish you all the best!!!
Great video. I would just say that Flor de Caña would be a better substitute for Cuban rum. Plantation 3 Stars is quite different than Havana Club, but of course, nothing wrong with it if that’s your preference.
I've learned recently that "break" the mint inside the glass increases its taste in the drink. So my advice is to break it with the back of a spoon against the side of the cup, bringing the leaves to the top. When you "slap" the mint leaves, a lot of its taste is wasted on your hand.
Also do that first and try to leave the mints as whole as posible and corporate everyting with crushed ice. It makes for a more eye pleasing cocktail. You eat and drink with your eyes also
@@zziaht those 'tings' are going to look fancy and cool in their suits when they go corporate with crushed ice. it may definitely increase their stock price.
@@zziaht well you are the one who said everyting (_sic_) is to go corporate with crushed ice! ............. I'm just a grammar nazi messing with you. Here's your corrections: * everything, * incorporate.
I discovered the Plantation 3 stars after trying Bacardi and Havana, and I personally think it is far superior. The flavor is so much smoother, it fits a mojito and other drinks so well.
The Plantation 3 stars pairs well with an extra couple of dashes of angostura bitters. Try it, my opinion is that it's far superior to a classic mojito.
Incredible vid. You guys are seriously rockin' it with next-level production value. Not to mention awesome ideas and helpful info. Masterful work! Cheers!
Thank u for the video and thank u for your effort i have to clarify that mojito is NOT made with mint, but with "hierba luisa", which tastes like lemongrass
great vid! btw, the "h" in "hola" is silent, so its pronounced "ola". at least, thats how it is with mexican spanish, im not sure if cuban spanish is different in that regard
damn dude, got this recommended and subbed almost immediately, already managed to binge quite a few of your other vids too, awesome stuff :D now I 100% wanna start experimenting with cocktails, starting with this one! cheers from Czechia
Clarified version looks unreal with that piece of clear ice and mint garnish, great job! How would you get a Clarified Espresso Martini? I tried with lemon juice but not matching very well with coffee flavor.
it looks amazing, I think you could rince the paper filter with hot water first to remove all the paper taste that might go into the drink, this is practically a rule in the world of coffee, but as the drink is cold I don't think it will extract as much paper taste than doing coffee, just a sugestion
LOL if you look at the Manhattan Lazy, Pro, Clear video, I actually say that I don't mention that all the time but I should because evrytime I don't someone call me out on it HAHA!
Discovered your vids the other day and have been binging ever since! What is the best way of storing clear cocktails? In the fridge or is room temperature preferred?
Hey Rudy! Thank you! I'm really glad you like our vids! The best way to store clarified cocktails is in the fridge. Even if clarified cocktail are pretty shelf stable, it's always best to keep em in the fridge because if your container is not sterilized, there's always contamination possibilities and cold will prevent that as much as possible. And also, that way, it'll be cold and ready to serve
I don't see much difference between the LAZY and Pro, apart from the crushed ice. I'd be happy to be served the LAZY version in a bar. But the CLEAR version looks incredible, would love to try one!
True it is pretty close. Side by side there's quite a major difference but as I try to do with this serie is to prove that the simple way can also be amazing! Cheers!
@@tristancleary But in the “Lazy” version he shook the ingredients. I’m not saying it’s the same as being muddled, but it’s a step that replaces the muddling. My point is, the Lazy version doesn’t seem that “lazy”.
thank you so much for constantly putting up such delicious cocktails and concepts I love the clarified cocktails and I have tried out some and its always a party pleaser thanks and cheers
Tonka is a fascinating, surprising addition. There's so many interesting things you can do with it beyond it's vanilla notes and I'm consistently shocked when I see it pop up in recipes. One bar I know makes a syrup with it and chipotle chillis, like what?
Love the clear mojito! I little "complaint", you should never muddle the mint leaves. By doing that, you lose the fresh herbal flavour, and you get the bitter-pepperish aromas that you don't want in a mojito.
Hey Roxy, that's just my opinion and my quite long experience on the matter but if you get bitter and chlorophyle taste when muddling the mint, maybe you're doing it wrong. I always place the mint first and then, add the lime pieces. That way it creates a "cushion" between the leaves and the muddler. So if you muddle "gently" you will only extract the oils and not the unwanted taste. You will also prevent your mint from shredding which is a plus. But again, that's the method I'm comfotable with. If you like the drinks your making the way you make them, that's also the good way. Cheers!
probably not. the rind or peel of some fruits and vegetables is also called a jacket. it's interesting, though, but in Spanish, the word for eggshell is the same as the peel of a fruit or vegetable.
Bilingual things, he's probably aware that it's not the exact word he's looking for, he later uses husk. The ideas the same though so whatever. My mom uses "heel" of the bread when she means the end of a baguette.
Yeah yeah I pronunced the "H" in Hola... Don't be so upset y'all, I'm just a simple francophone making videos in english and I don't speak spanish. At least I tried 😂
Here's a selection of products I'm sure you would love! Make sure it is the right fit for you before buying. Cheers!

HAHA! I had only one clarified cocktail so I had to improvise since the soda was already on there 😂

Hello Truffles On The Rocks. I'm a bartender and your big follower. Really love what you are doing on UA-cam channel. I makes a lot of lime cordial at home, can you please show some great recipes, classic or signature with that. Looking forward to it!!! Sincerely your Follower.🙌🙌🙌Wish you all the best!!!
That clarification process has my mind BLOWN omg
HAHA!! Thank you! I also think it looks great, especially th Mojito. I was very satisfied with the taste as well. Cheers!
Great video. I would just say that Flor de Caña would be a better substitute for Cuban rum. Plantation 3 Stars is quite different than Havana Club, but of course, nothing wrong with it if that’s your preference.
Testé et approuvé ! Good balance!
Great video! We would like to see some Tiki cocktails for this summer!!
I’ll do my best I promise
I can't wait to see how he clarifies some of the classics.
Real lazy: sprite, white rum, mint, ice and voilà
I really enjoy watching you thank you
Thank you!!!
lovely video. also amazingly clear voice, at first thought i was hearing a voice over :D
Thank you!!!
Definitely going to have to try all of these! I've been wanting to make my own cocktails for a while now and Mojitos are my favourite.
Amazing! Looking forward your feedback on it. Cheers!
Try a few drops of Angostura in it. Easy to do and makes a huge difference
I've learned recently that "break" the mint inside the glass increases its taste in the drink. So my advice is to break it with the back of a spoon against the side of the cup, bringing the leaves to the top. When you "slap" the mint leaves, a lot of its taste is wasted on your hand.
Also do that first and try to leave the mints as whole as posible and corporate everyting with crushed ice. It makes for a more eye pleasing cocktail. You eat and drink with your eyes also
@@zziaht Yes!
@@zziaht those 'tings' are going to look fancy and cool in their suits when they go corporate with crushed ice. it may definitely increase their stock price.
@@pike666db what are you talking about? Its not like we trying to push dogecoin with mojitos...
@@zziaht well you are the one who said everyting (_sic_) is to go corporate with crushed ice! ............. I'm just a grammar nazi messing with you. Here's your corrections: * everything, * incorporate.
this is so satisfying to watch. It's a form of art, the music, the shot and the cocktail and it all blends very nice. good job.
Thank you so much!!!! Appreciate that a lot! Cheers!
I'm simple man - thanks for easy lazy Mojito recipe! I see, last time, I was quite close! Cheers mate!
Cheers!
All tha way from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪for that 😋😋😋👌Clarified mojito,am salivating
Cheers!
I discovered the Plantation 3 stars after trying Bacardi and Havana, and I personally think it is far superior. The flavor is so much smoother, it fits a mojito and other drinks so well.
The Plantation 3 stars pairs well with an extra couple of dashes of angostura bitters. Try it, my opinion is that it's far superior to a classic mojito.
The clarified mojito looks stunning!
Thanks! It was pretty tasty actually! Worth a try!
those look great! the lazy mojito could be a great way to pump em out fast in a bar while still having em look elaborate.
You are awesome ❤️❤️
와!! 다 해봐야겠다!! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏽👏🏽
Incredible vid. You guys are seriously rockin' it with next-level production value. Not to mention awesome ideas and helpful info. Masterful work! Cheers!
Thank you so much! We are really glad you appreciate the content!!! Have a wonderful day. Cheers!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Thx! u2! :)
Thank u for the video and thank u for your effort
i have to clarify that mojito is NOT made with mint, but with "hierba luisa", which tastes like lemongrass
"Jola" jaja
Si si! Yo entiendo jajaja
Spanish reaction When people read h
these are the best videos!!
😀
Thanks for the milk trick! I'll make a big batch and use that when I'm lazy and want a mojito!
There you go! That's the spirit ;) Cheers! keep me posted on how you like it. Cheers!
great vid! btw, the "h" in "hola" is silent, so its pronounced "ola". at least, thats how it is with mexican spanish, im not sure if cuban spanish is different in that regard
Hahaha! Probably not different, I will not try to pretend I speak Spanish so forgive me
It is not different. Learned "cuban" spanish in school (my teacher went there for 2-3 years)
damn dude, got this recommended and subbed almost immediately, already managed to binge quite a few of your other vids too, awesome stuff :D
now I 100% wanna start experimenting with cocktails, starting with this one!
cheers from Czechia
Love these drinks
Thank you!!! Cheers!
Clarified version looks unreal with that piece of clear ice and mint garnish, great job! How would you get a Clarified Espresso Martini? I tried with lemon juice but not matching very well with coffee flavor.
Espresso Martini is in queued for trials
I made the pro version an it’s the best mojito I ever had!
Thanks a lot!!!
I will definitely try the clarified one!
Tag us or let us know what you think when you do. Cheers
Very much enjoyed this video!
Thank you! Cheers
Sharp funny and had me smiling all the way through.. off to buy some rum!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the recipe! Loved it 😋
Amazing! I'm glad you did! Cheers!
it looks amazing, I think you could rince the paper filter with hot water first to remove all the paper taste that might go into the drink, this is practically a rule in the world of coffee, but as the drink is cold I don't think it will extract as much paper taste than doing coffee, just a sugestion
LOL if you look at the Manhattan Lazy, Pro, Clear video, I actually say that I don't mention that all the time but I should because evrytime I don't someone call me out on it HAHA!
man this is insane i loved it
Thanks
Discovered your vids the other day and have been binging ever since! What is the best way of storing clear cocktails? In the fridge or is room temperature preferred?
Hey Rudy! Thank you! I'm really glad you like our vids! The best way to store clarified cocktails is in the fridge. Even if clarified cocktail are pretty shelf stable, it's always best to keep em in the fridge because if your container is not sterilized, there's always contamination possibilities and cold will prevent that as much as possible. And also, that way, it'll be cold and ready to serve
Love your channel! I’ve started clarifying cocktails and you’ve been very helpful!
Thank you Shivam! I’m really glad to hear that! Cheers
I don't see much difference between the LAZY and Pro, apart from the crushed ice. I'd be happy to be served the LAZY version in a bar. But the CLEAR version looks incredible, would love to try one!
True it is pretty close. Side by side there's quite a major difference but as I try to do with this serie is to prove that the simple way can also be amazing! Cheers!
Well the main difference was the muddling. Which really is essential... given that mojito means muddled.
@@tristancleary But in the “Lazy” version he shook the ingredients. I’m not saying it’s the same as being muddled, but it’s a step that replaces the muddling. My point is, the Lazy version doesn’t seem that “lazy”.
@@iandayang fair. For me, muddling in glass is easier than shaking. So I totally get your point.
thank you so much for constantly putting up such delicious cocktails and concepts I love the clarified cocktails and I have tried out some and its always a party pleaser thanks and cheers
Thank you so much for the support! I also think clarified cocktails are often very satisfying !
Terrific video, terrific cocktails.
Cheers!
Thank you!
Made a mojito yesterday.....might need another one soon...
It’s the season, you can have one a day haha
Tonka is a fascinating, surprising addition. There's so many interesting things you can do with it beyond it's vanilla notes and I'm consistently shocked when I see it pop up in recipes. One bar I know makes a syrup with it and chipotle chillis, like what?
That sounds like a killer syrup recipe!
Would demerara syrup be a good substititue for turbinado?
Love the clear mojito!
I little "complaint", you should never muddle the mint leaves. By doing that, you lose the fresh herbal flavour, and you get the bitter-pepperish aromas that you don't want in a mojito.
Hey Roxy, that's just my opinion and my quite long experience on the matter but if you get bitter and chlorophyle taste when muddling the mint, maybe you're doing it wrong. I always place the mint first and then, add the lime pieces. That way it creates a "cushion" between the leaves and the muddler. So if you muddle "gently" you will only extract the oils and not the unwanted taste. You will also prevent your mint from shredding which is a plus. But again, that's the method I'm comfotable with. If you like the drinks your making the way you make them, that's also the good way. Cheers!
Is no one else gonna mention him calling the lime rinds "shells"??? Lmao
probably not. the rind or peel of some fruits and vegetables is also called a jacket. it's interesting, though, but in Spanish, the word for eggshell is the same as the peel of a fruit or vegetable.
Bilingual things, he's probably aware that it's not the exact word he's looking for, he later uses husk. The ideas the same though so whatever. My mom uses "heel" of the bread when she means the end of a baguette.
Try making this with lemon grass syrup, no soda and top with crushed ice!
