I'm no KZread expert, but with respect to increasing your audience, I think you've got the toughest part nailed: Quality of content. No amount of branding, SEO, collabs, or anything else can make up for boring and worthless content, so you are already ahead of 80% of the competition. You just need your break-out referral from a fan with a billion followers.

I really loved this. Definitely going to try it with the SO later tonight. On the topic of rum: Diplomatico is so good! When it gets warm around here, I love serving it in a tumbler, adding 2-3 drops of orange essential oil onto a big block of ice, then pouring the rum over it. I've recently also discovered Santa Teresa 1796, a Venezuelan solera (!) rum, which I also have fallen in love with.

Hi Cara, I'd put the ice cubes first into the mixing glass and pour the ingredients over ice before stirring with the bar spoon. Don't forget to drop one ice cube for the aliens. As a little twist at the end, I'd add few drops of orange bitter before the oils from the orange zest. Cheers.

The reason I do ice last is because in a service environment you can pause- if you start building and have to turn away to run some food, chuck someone out or whatever haha then the drink isn’t just sitting there diluting so doesn’t go to waste. Doesn’t matter as much at home of course! But the sacrifice to the alien overlords can never be skipped.

I purchased sherry after watching your video on it a few weeks back, and I've made a few of these since then, and similarly I can't purchase the original rum in my area. I've used Pusser's and a local blended rum from Maggie's Farm called Hidden Harbor that's a blend of Jamaican, Guyanese, Martinician, Bajan, Trinidadian, and their own rums and then rested for a little bit of time in oak to marry the flavors. Both turned out deliciously, I found it to be quite delicious and a nice change from Boulevardiers which have been my fall-back lately.

Diplomatico is an interesting outler. It's sweetened like Spanish style rums, and made on an ex-Spanish colony, but the production method is British style, a blend of pot and colums stills. It's more closer to Guyana, Barbados and St Lucia than to Spanish style rums on Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidad. Which was a British colony, yet it makes Spanish style rum :)

One of the great things of Venezuelan rums is that they must (by law) age in aoks barrols for at least two years. That's kind of like those chocolate flavor that you get in there. Reserva exclusiva it's one of the best along with Diplomatico Mantuano. You should try if you can find Carúpano 6 and 12 years for a woody flavor, they're the best venezuelans rums for me.

@BehindtheBar

4 жыл бұрын

Generally if I’m doing a round of drinks with some stirred and some shaken, I will build them all first, then add ice to everything. The stirred can sit for a second (I’m obviously assuming a certain level of speed here) while you shake, and strain the shaken ones straight away. Never leave the drinks sitting on ice in the shaker tins as they will go really watery. Then finish stirring quickly and get those strained ASAP. You also want to pour drinks being served straight up before the ones on ice- they should go out as soon as they are poured. Hope that makes sense, bar work flow would be a great video!

Cocktails in Melbourne generally start at around $18 for something less boozy (using spirits and aperitifs for example) and $20 for a full 60ml of spirit, but even that’s a bit of a bargain nowadays. A lot of bars will start at $22 for a house/rail spirit Martini, Manhattan etc and go up from there if you choose more expensive booze. From memory (because we’ve been closed for a while now!) Diplo Reserva sits at around $16/$18 a nip so a full two shots would be almost $40 without factoring in the Sherry and Campari. Melbourne is not a cheap city!
