Your homepage list 185 grams of Cognac instead of water. Maybe you want to change that.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there are 2 types of Ginger (Old Ginger & Young Ginger) to tweak the desired flavour to your drink. Old Ginger: Has less juice and is Spicier with less aroma/fragrant; and Young Ginger: Has more juice, not as spicy but has much more aromatics. I personally use 50-50 as a safe start for most drinks, but then adjust the ratio for specific cocktails based on what is needed.

I’ve been meaning to juice some ginger, and with your recipe I just might do it today! I was at a Caribbean all-inclusive resort earlier this year, and noticed the bartenders juicing ginger by day. Instead of carrying ginger beer for mules and whatnot, they’d use this fresh juice, simple syrup, and club soda. I ended up experimenting the entire time I was there, asking them to add splashes of ginger juice to all sorts of cocktails, or even to Coke or coffee.

With Coke is nice 😋🤤

🫚 You may have created the next “bartender’s ketchup”. I first added this to the fresh carrot and celery juice I made and it was a big, big improvement over the plain juice. No saline needed. The second was a 1/4 oz added to a Negroni. Is subtly changed the bitter bite to a heated bite. While still letting the Negroni shine. I can’t wait to experiment more!

Hey Kevin and all! I work in a restaurant where ginger/turmeric are hugely important ingredients... We used to run ginger through a juicer but we never felt like we got enough yield from it. Ginger is so fibrous and wants to retain it's juice. We have found the best yield is to blend ginger in a vitamix with equal parts water and then pass through a chinois sqeezing for as much yield as we can. Even with adding water, it yields a super nice and concentrated ginger juice for syrups, wellness shots, etc.

Do you know any vodka that is sold in Europe that can be used for liqueur production?

I'm wondering if it would pair well with a sloe gin or if that would just end up too sweet. Wrong time of year, but you could probably work that into a proper eggnog for a kind of a gingerbread thing if you started with one of the more "briskety" bourbons.

Would love to try this, but I don't own a juicer. Do you think you can get the juice by pureeing the ginger and straining through a nut milk bag? Or maybe utilizing the sugar to pull some of the ginger's liquid out via an oleo saccharum?

@itea4523

Ай бұрын

putting it in a blender turns it into tiny chunks but it doesnt allow as much juice out to be extracted the way juicing does. Before I bought a juicer, I did it the Old School way by using a grater and then straining and squeezing it through a nut milk bag. Fair warning though, it's a lot of work. haha

Hello, Mr Kos, is it better to use the Ginger Liqueur or Syrup with soda water instead of ginger beer? For example, in a dark and stormy. I'm having some difficulty in finding ginger beer here in my location. Sorry to bother you, but if you may answer me I'd be really appreciated. Thank you.

🎉

I'd definitely try both those drinks (maybe going a bit heavier on the honey as I find whiskey/bourbon too bitter) and I also think my mother have a juicer somewhere! Any suggestion to use the pulp and fibres left from it?

For the pulp and leftovers you could make a tincture or a simple syrup with it?

In Jeffrey Morgenthaler's The Bar Book his method is to blend the ginger with hot water and sugar. You could do something similar with the liqueur ingredients, then strain the mixture (so sth like blending the ginger, sugar and hot water, then add vodka and blend so that you're not heating up the alcohol)

any advice to keep syrups from going bad ? I recently made a home-made elderflower syrup that i boiled several minutes + added vodka after to try and keep it as long as possible but it went bad in just a week...

@LyK0sa

2:1 sugar to water, and keep it in the fridge. Specifically for elderflower, I'd say if you want a truly shelf stable solution you should go with a liqueur like St germain

You can put the syrup in the freezer. Most syrups have a high enough sugar content to keep it from freezing!❄️

I just made Kevin’s Elderflower liqueur recipe and made the abv 25%. It’s not going to go bad. Likewise I also made Falernum and Limoncellos with abv of at least 20. It’s a good way of making liqueurs and easy to remember.if you use 40% vodka, that it needs to be at least half of the final Product by volume. These will never go off.

What kind of vodka (which covers the 95% of the cost) do you use and how much does it cost locally? A week ago I tried your elderflower liqueur. It was erfect (although guys, do not use brown sugar saying "well what could be wrong with it?"). One Absolut Blue Vodka 0.7L costs $15 in my country. The liqueur needed 0.5L so it the cost was $11 + about $1 other ingredients. That's twice as much as you promoted in the video image. You can buy vodka so cheap? And there are way cheaper elderflower liqueurs for like $16, probably the taste is not much worse. I also wonder if it's worth to use the cheapest vodka or other kind of alcohol when creating liqueurs at home?

@KevinKos

26 күн бұрын

Vodka covers 60% of the cost. The rest is sugar, juice, acids and water. The vodka that I used costs 14€ € per 1L (most bars can get it even cheaper since they are buying it in bulk and with the deducted VAT) and the price is calculated to the 700 mL bottle.
