Modern Classic: Miami Vice
Вставка

- Truth be told this drink definitely falls into the category of "Club Cocktail." or "Vacation Drink." Miami's namesake cocktail is a mashup of a Strawberry Daiquiri (the blended kind that you'll find in TGI Friday's) and a Piña Colada. That doesn't mean that we can't enjoy them and since it was recently National Piña Colada day, It got my brain whirring on awesome (and balanced) reconstructions of this drink. The reconstruction in this video was developed by Gabriel Orta and Elad Zvi of Broken Shker in Miami Florida. For those of you who don't know Broken Shaker is the tiki facing award winning bar at the Top of the Freehand Hotel. There are a few of these bars now, we have one in Downtown Los Angeles and There's one in New York. They are all award winning programs and the drinks are wonderful so if any of you find yourselves in any of those cities, definitely check out those bars!
As for the history of this drink, I can't tell you too much about it as not much exists on it. I will say that these Vacation style cocktails were big in the 1980's and I am going to assume (until someone corrects me) that this one was created in maybe the late 1980's early 1990's. The Piña Colada itself was born, by most accounts, in 1954 at The Beachcomber's Bar at The Carib Hilton in Puerto Rico and the rise of blended daiquiris came about a tad beforehand in Cuba. But I am going to assume that this drink was named after the Miami Vice Show which premiered in 1984 and this is definitely something someone on that show would drink and Frozen Strawberry Daiquiris were invented around that same time. Ok enough ranting and conjecture, go make one!

Hats off to the real hero, the "sippy cylindar"
Oh boy Greg has a singing challenger! 😉
"Definitely named after Miami Vice, the show....well I don't know that for a fact" 😆
If its not it should be! Lets make that a rule now as voted on by Gen X😜
When a freshman bartender sees a cocktail with jamaican rum:
"Is this Tiki?"
It's a reasonably complicated, tropical, lavishly garnished cocktail with loads of rums... I wouldn't disagree with anyone who considered it tiki.
Its a tiki-like drink yeah. The tiki community is really protective of what drinks are called tiki though. A habit i find...not helpful. Iv made this drink though and enjoy it.
@@BOYVIRGO666 It's very popular at resorts in Jamaica. I feel like people hate on it because it's got the "all-inclusive" resort stamp on it; but it's tasty if you make it right
Love the rap about the drinks and the ingredients. This is much like TCM does for old classic movies I have not seen. Creates interest and opens up my interest in drinks I am not familiar with or have long forgotten.
The real question is when is the Marius face reveal
Sonny Etchell hmmmm.....
Once again, garnish game on point!
Yeah thanks for getting that damn song stuck in my head for the next few days.
You say Miami Vice I think Crocketts Theme.
I don't think anyone who came up in the 80s doesn't associate this with the show. It's like a rule!
Glad I became a member...great videos and as a bartender...I get great ideas to work with...thank you
The fact that you can switch it up there and then. I had to sub. You're a real one.
Thanks for the sub!
My friend...that looks beautiful
I'm mad it took me so long to come across this video. By far your bravest intro! 😋
My thoughts exactly! 😆
Best intro yet
Can't stop hearing it now
This is a classier version of what is basically an alcoholic Circle K Froster. Kudos to you for giving it the Morgenthaler treatment.
Lmao you caught me off guard with Sippy Cylinder
That looks like the epitome of an 80s cocktail haha
Liked the video. Don't have the stuff to make the recipe. I will try it eventually. I'm going to go make a smoothie and see if I can find Miami Vice (Classic Edit) and maybe research 80's mixed drinks.
Party in the city where the heat is ooon
One thing I would be afraid of, is breaking that thin glass muddling since you're shaking it anyway, use a safer glass to do it in."tempered" and pour it back into the hurricane glass
Gary S seeing him muddle it in that glass was giving me anxiety lol. I know with my luck if I tried imitating that I would end up muddling broken glad into my hand lol.
@@adrianmclean2236 I just ordered the bar kit from common man cocktails, with the tempered glass Boston shaker
You didn't want a nice Barfly Mixology Gear set?
Haven’t even finished watching the video and hit the like button in reply to the “Party in the city where the heat is on,
All night on the beach til the break of dawn”.
I still can't believe he opened the video that way! 😂
Coconut cream is unsweetened and just skimmed off the top of coconut milk when it seperates. Cream of coconut is sweetened i.e Coco Lopez or the Martin Cate recipe.
Andrew Beck we can go back and forth on this all day and night but if you look in recipes for cocktails you will never see anything that says “cream of Coconut” you will however see coconut cream and it is sweetened. Seems like a ridiculous rearranging of words to me
Hey I know you've made a workhorse spirits video but I was hoping you could make a video about even more classic and good spirits but also talk about their flavor profiles and talk about some history cause that stuff is cool. I think you'd be awesome for making videos like that because no one on UA-cam or real life really tells you about those spirits that are super classic in the cocktail world (or you know just ones they like alot) but also they don't describe what it tastes like and what you might put it in. I'm just an aspiring home cocktail maker that wants to make good drinks, learn about where it came from, and pass on that stuff with the people I make drinks for and with. Thanks. Great channel btw. P.s. the videos are better when you forget something
Real Life yeah I’ve been meaning to videos like that but I think I’ll tackle spirits individually although I do want to make a video about rums which tend to confuse people a bunch
@@TheEducatedBarfly oh yea that would be super cool! Yea cause there usually isnt alot of information on types of spirits with similarities and differences and unique properties. Being alil younger makes it harder to develop profiles of spirits and gather good info without having to go spend alot so any videos like that would be awesome and much appreciated.
Awesome drink and actually quite doable. But man now I get why you keep forgetting stuff with more advanced drinks haha. Keep up this cool channel...
haha
Not sure if has been asked before, but how do you get your recipes? Some are obviously in books and classics, but for the ones by individuals or by specific bars, do you just ask them? Just wondering!
Nick C I’ll never tell...LOL
Looks like a dollar tree hurricane glass. I have 4 myself
"Try to be a little ginger...."
*Literally two seconds later.*
"Give it a nice, good hard muddle. Reeeaaally break it up."
thank you
You should make a pina colada milk punch
Wow
Great video as always! Any recommendations for Coconut Cream? Which brand do you usually use? Thanks! Have a nice weekend!
Kim Ly I make my own: 1:1 Ratio of unsweetened coconut milk and simple syrup
@@TheEducatedBarfly so any unsweetened coconut milk will do? I know you are very keen about which product or brand to use!😀 That's what I really love about your channel!
Leandro "We are going to be doing a layered presentation"
Me "I dont see any Lairds on the bar, did he forget it?"
Where do you get your pebble ice from?
Morning drinks
Am I imagining it or was there a recent video featuring the Long Island Iced Tea a few different ways that appears to have disappeared?
Josh Spencer it will be back had to fix a few things....you’re not crazy
Have you ever considered rehearsing these at all? No, we can get this in one take!
I have a good cocktail idea.
It's called "Red Vintage" (My own cocktail.)
Here are the Ingredients:
60ml or 2oz of grappa (Italian vodka)
40ml or 1.10oz of Blood orange juice (Fresh)
15ml or 0.5oz of Lemon juice (Fresh)
15 or 0.5oz of Bianco Vermouth
25ml or 0.75oz of Cointreau.
Give it a shake and strain it into a Martini glass. Garnish with a Blood orange peel and Blood orange slice.
Do you like the idea?
I thought the ‘daiquiri’ on the bottom would have lime and rum before the pina colada is layered on top, no? Maybe I’m just used to two slushies being poured together
Marc Piccuirro nah, that would be really unbalanced with the booze...
Use dried coconut coconut powder. It is cheaper and better than making it fresh.
Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?
Have you ever made the King Kamehameha from Magnum P.I.?
Herman Lermenski nope, should I?
@@TheEducatedBarfly sure!👍
Herman Lermenski ok I’ll throw it on the list
This makes me want to have a bar that opens out onto the beach, so that I can have slushy machines to serve layered Miami Vice and Sex on the Beach cocktails to people who should know better.
I like where your head is at Bob! 👍
In this episode of the Educated Barfly Leandro mistakes Norwegians for Vulcans.
Make a shot special please
[Steam]Krypton ok
Here's another version of the Miami Vice cocktail ua-cam.com/video/b9ejAPdwxtM/v-deo.html
Why add simple syrup in two steps? Why not muddle strawberries in .5oz simple?
Trevor Mannion because you’d have no sugar balancing the cocktail, one is layered on top of the other
The Educated Barfly interesting. Did not think of that. Because it is layered?
Trevor Mannion yeah because part of the cocktail sits on top the other so you want to sweeten the strawberry and the piña colada separately but add just enough sugar that it’s not too much when mixed together
What if you don't like strawberry can you use cherries
Yeah why not?
Marius has to get in front of the camera at least for one episode!
Kristopher Bailey maaaaaybe I can convince him....maaayybe....
The Educated Barfly until proven otherwise I’m picturing Uncle Lester from the Adam’s Family
Kristopher Bailey LOL
You have muddled strawberry at the bottom, why do you double strain the rest?
Ryan Fox don’t want the extra ice on top that’s all
@@TheEducatedBarfly no extra dilution, gotcha
Innafuckinwetsuit
eW yOu tOuChed tHe bOtTlEs wItH yOuR HANDSSSSSSSSSSS????????????
is piña colada over strawberry daiquiri... but you never did the strawberry daiquiri.. Leandro.. ;) in fact you did a STRAWBERRY COLADA .. :D (Y)
EDSON RENGIFO BEMBINO it’s a reconstruction using fresh ingredients not a literal representation. It’s fun to rethink cocktails and present in a different way
@@TheEducatedBarfly ;)
congrats u just spent 5 minutes making a drink that got you a $1.20 tip by your patron lol
My Patrons tip me better than that! LOL
@@TheEducatedBarfly where u work at lol
made it 11 seconds in.
I think strawberries are an odd choice for a drink dedicated to Miami. Guavas are so much more Miami than strawberries. And more pink.....
This truely seems like a cocktail i would try even that im not a big fan of coconut. My solution would be swap the coconut with campari. I see no fault in that.
Gross, you touched the strawberry with your hands! 🍓🖐
I don't like Pina Colada. It's too sweet.
Have you tried a painkiller? That might be something worth trying if interested. Basically a less sweeter, but stronger version of a Pina Colada.
Stop talking long and make ur videos short and crisp
VIJAYA BOOPATHY disagree. I think they’re great
