Absolutely Damo, Happy New Year to you and yours as well.
Layering is a mystic art
That it is :)
Gorgeous! I adore layered drinks! I don't mind rum, but I actually prefer a drink like this, starting with tequila as its base spirit. Beautifully done David!
Thank you very much, It does work well :)
I love it
I'm glad you liked it Sammy
Awesome 😎
Thanks :)
Very good 👍
Thank you :)
Just looking at it reminds me of a drink I had in Mexico, that was simply crene de cassis topped with Midori
ETA: I learned something about the density/layering here 🙂
It does look nice for sure :)
Big up from Kingston, Jamaica 🇯🇲🙌🏽
Awesome :)
Waawoo fantastic
Thank you.
It's about 9° here right now. I decided to bring a little Jamaican heat inside. This is a delicious drink. I tri-color rimmed the glass with gold, green and pink sugar. I didn't have purple sugar on hand. It looked great but definitely had to as Mr. Marley sang, 🎶stir it up🎶 to get the great taste. Thanks for another tasty drink!
Your welcome Antonio, I'm glad you liked it.
Really gorgeous colors Dave and love that you dipped only half the glass. I had this lime salt on a "Sunshine Margarita" once at Disney and THAT I wouldn't mind rimming the whole glass, but most of the time, just plain salt is just too much. Cheers!!!!
I do pref a half rim for that reason. Because sometimes you don't want the salt.
It was sugar.
Happy hump day! Once again a lovely looking drink. Cheers!
Thanks Ulgarth!!
I didn't know you could layer a drink that well using a bar spoon. It looks awesome! Did you stir it before drinking it?
I tried one stirred and not stirred. its better stirred.
Much like a Tequila Sunrise, kinda a ladies drink. 😉
Possibly.
Oh this is a great choice, David. I like the tequila instead of rum in tropical, and the use of sugar instead of with tequila.. break those norms! Beautiful work on the layering, and the editing too.
Curious about how you drank it please - did you drink layer by layer and endure the strong grenadine shot at bottom? Or mix it all together? Does the grenadine flavour work well in it when mixed? Thanks! :)
I did try it both ways. So if you do it layer by layer to the get the sweet stuff at the end. But I tried mixing it as well and it was a sweeter drink in total. Have fun with it and try it different ways and tell me which one you like best.
Pretty looking drink! that last sip is going to be pure sugar! haha
Oh yes!, it is a bit sweet.
Can you make a drink with limon rum chata?
Lets see what I can do.
Hi David, t his looks good. I made your Bikini Martini for my younger daughter a few weeks ago (age 31!) and w I’ll make this for her next time she is here.
Question though. I spaced out my first bottle of Grenadine with basic Triple Sec. I also have a new bottle of Grenadine. Which should I use for this drink? Nick from York
If you are looking to get the layering right, I would use the new Grenadine. The Triple Sec will have thinned out the Grenadine enough that it probably will not sink to the bottom of the glass. But you can try both and see which one she likes better.
Nice layers! I wonder if a smokier mezcal instead of tequila would help balance the sweetness.
That is a very interesting idea. I will have to try that.
❤❤❤
I'm glad you liked it.
❤
Thank you.
Isn't Blue Curacao also an orange liqueur? Why use Cointreau + Blue Curacao? Wouldn't it be nice with a full ounce of Blue Curacao instead or is it a density thing?
You are correct You are correct, However because of the density you need to thin in out.
@@boozeontherocks thought so.... Thanx buddy
@@jacquesst-pierre973 Your welcome.
Thanks for asking the question that was on my mind
Can i use rum
Definitely give it a shot.
Can you make one with whiskey?
A Jamaican X or a layered drink?
@@boozeontherocks both would be fine lol
Btw hello from Puerto Rico
CAN I USE Rum????
Go for it. It would work well with it,
Rum work well with MY SYSTEM don't make me feel hung OVER Thanks !! Yessssssssss
Pls make a zombie , but a sweet version
Lets see what I can do.
@@boozeontherocks woww thx man , im new to your channel love sweet cocktails
fav drings are
smirnof north
bailys
and captain morgan rum
awsome channel man
The X is from X-men, this cocktail looks like a mutant lol, but it's beautiful and maybe taste good.
It is a good looking drink for sure and its nice and sweet.
Ya alittle on the sweet side. Might leave out the cointreau
You could definitely do that.
I’m your density 🤪
lol.... That you are..
hahahaha.. YES! ua-cam.com/video/s7A5xLk3hIs/v-deo.html
It looks nice but is far too sweet for my taste. I will try to either make it with more lime or maybe with an overproof rum to give it more of a bite; definitely will reduce the grenadine to 5ml or so. Nonetheless, thank you for introducing this cocktail to us David!
Your welcome, I let me know where you wind up with it.
@@boozeontherocks 0K David, so I finally got ahold of some 151 rum. I decreased the portions slightly cause my martini glass was filled to the brim the 1st time around. Here are the specs I suggest: 30ml tequila, 20ml lime juice, 10ml blue curacao, 10ml cointreau, 40ml pineapple juice and 30ml 151 rum. I am torn about adding a dash (less than 5ml) of grenadine- it looks nice but unnecessarily sweetens the drink, in my opinion. Plus it looks better when it's blue :)
Do tell if you like my specs and have a great day :)
You really need to use fresh pineapple juice frl
Sometimes you use what you can get,
I think the drink would be better with some Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum instead of tequila.
That would definitely be worth trying.
why do you use shitty roses grenadine? why dont you make your own? here is recipe for a proper grenadine; a liter of pomegranite juice ,one half cup of dried hibiscus and 1 cup of sugar .
I will have to try that recipe out. How long does it last for you?
@@boozeontherocks oh i forgot two ingredients orange blossom water - just a tiny bit , and pomegranite mollasses - 1 tsp.
words printing on is the worst part of ur videos
Do you mean the ingredients list?
