Today we teach you how to make the Floradora, a cocktail that Ian decides we will build in fast-forward. How fast can he build it and talk? Ian's not a fast talker but... AwesomeDrinks Bar Equipment: http://awesomedrinks.com The flavor of the Floradora mimics that of smarties, the candy. Ian nails it, Dan agrees and Derrick just sits in awe and wonder as the event unfolds. How can we build the floradora in two minutes _and_ have an alternate ending? Watch and see the Floradora cocktail being made in realtime, but fast! Floradora - 1.5 oz. Gin - 0.5 oz. Raspberry liqueur - 0.5 oz. Fresh lime juice - 4.0 oz. Ginger ale - Garnish: lime wedge While this cocktail brings out the sweet candy flavor, it's not overly too sweet--it's more of the balance of sweet to sour ratio and the gingerale picking up the mid-palate. Definitely a very specific sour cocktail flavor that's fun for those that love to use raspberry liqueur. Probably not the definition of a modern classic, but fun just the same! #gin #cocktail #flordara ------ Become a Youtube CMC Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm4_NTvhixXU3YFetu8z-aA/join Checkout our recipe E-Books: http://homecocktailmenu.com Subscribe to CMC Now: http://bit.ly/NKFUkE Drink Responsibly. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf_7eh9lUzE

Time to uncover some of the deep secrets about the vodka industry and how it goes about selling you its ultra premium branded spirits. The dirty little secrets of vodka are many. Don't forget, buy stuff from our store, http://awesomedrinks.com The TTB's Classification of "Vodka" and Grain Neutral Spirits (GNS): https://www.ttb.gov/spirits/bam/chapter4.pdf The secrets are plenty as we dig deeper into what makes a brand. For instance, using a company like Ultra Pure (https://ultrapure-usa.com/) allows you to create your own 4x distilled vodka without having to ever touch a still or legally own a still. Yet, you can still sell your own branded product _and_ label it "hand crafted", what!? Sure, you can go out of your way to make an artisanal vodka but at what cost? How are you going to market it with a better story than a company that buys grain neutral spirit (GNS) from the lowest shop and cuts it with their super premium water supply? Oh yeah, what about that charcoal filtration? Or...any filtration at all? Sure, you can make a great 3x distilled vodka but why would you need to clean it to make it completely odorless unless, of course, the odor it gives off is rough and ugly? What about copper pot distilled vodka? That makes it more expensive, right? What if you found out you can't distill vodka in a pot still without having columns to purify it to its legal 95%/96% standards? Pure vodka is more expensive vodka and you're willing to pay for it, even if the purity of the vodka is to remove the ugly poor quality "nuance" the vodka is bringing to your mouth and nose. How stupid are we? We want to pay more to get less.

Let's learn how to make the incredible hulk cocktail, a cocktail featuring hpnotiq and Hennessy cognac. This hpnotiq cocktail turns green (even though hpnotiq is blue) but when combined with yellowish Hennessy, you get incredible hulk colors. Use coupon code AUG17 to save 17% off at our little online cocktail store, http://awesomedrinks.com The Incredible Hulk cocktail recipe is fine for parties, has a unique "hpnotiq" flavor to it, which combines a potent vodka, floral notes and passion fruit against that of an oak aged rested spirit of cognac. Okay, overall, the Incredible Hulk recipe is probably fine for college parties and newbie drinkers, but I can't say this would be the cocktail recipe I'd choose for an event or to highlight cognac as a mixer. Honestly, I'm not 100% sold on why someone would buy hpnotiq to build out this recipe and, overall, the blend isn't exactly the most tasty of spirits. However, there is a subculture of hpnotiq fans and no doubt incredible hulk cocktail recipe fans so we won't press our opinion on you too much...yet, at the same time... it's a very potent spirit-forward drink with no juices or overall redeeming qualities. But, it's the Incredible Hulk, so you got that going for you... The Incredible Hulk - 2 oz Hpnotiq - 2 oz.
