Today we're going to show you two ways to make a Hurricane and we're going to give you a bit of information on Jamaican Rum. Beachbum Berry's REMIXed cocktail book (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/2ytKWFl BeachBum Berry's Sippin Safari (affiliate linke): https://amzn.to/3OSIJoY Tiki Glasses: http://awesomedrinks.com The Hurricane is a classic tiki design that goes back to Pat O'Brien's in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This little beverage has quit a history, based on the need for O'Brien's to get rid of far too much rum and wanted a drink to move product. The original hurricane uses Fassionola Syrup, which we have, so we'll try that too against that of the recipe within Jeff Berry's book (most folks substitute Passion Fruit syrup for Fassionola). The Hurricane - 2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup - 4 oz Dark Jamaican Rum The Jonathan English Company's brand will be compared to your standard B.G. Reynolds' Passion Fruit Syrup, and comes out tasting a bit more like Pat O'Brien's but also a bit more sweet. 0:00 Introduction 0:39 Recipe breakdown 1:15 Second Hurricane with Fassionola 2:41 Traditional Fassionola vs. Passion Fruit 3:00 Crushed Ice Science 5:23 Tasting Notes 6:49 Explaining Jamaican Rum 9:16 The Story Behind the Hurricane #rum #tiki #cocktail

This is a spirit forward summer drink known for being a potent ball of crushed ice.

Today we test egg white in our Whiskey Sour ("Boston Sour") against an Aquafaba Vegan foam. We are using (amazon affiliate) Vor Faba Foamer: https://amzn.to/3J5AHsO We tried Vor once before and it left us with the want for something better, it had an off-taste that ruined the cocktail. But, Vor went back and came up with a new product design: Vor Faba Foamer And, this time? The sucker actually works. It does not leave a funky taste, but does it hold up against egg white? The Egg White version is much creamier, much more dry and the whiskey is more forward in the taste. The foam bubbles are bigger with Vor Faba Foamer but they are present, and the flavor profile is much more lemon-forward vs traditional egg white. Whiskey Sour: - 2.0 oz Bourbon Whiskey - 0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice - 0.75 oz Simple syrup - 0.5 oz Egg White vs. Faba Foamer - 1 pinch Salt 0:00 Introduction 0:27 The Recipe 3:30 Mixing the Faba Foamer 6:00 The Dry Shake 7:35 The Pour 8:10 The money shot 9:10 The Tasting 11:02 Conclusion #whiskey #eggwhite #aquafaba
