My name is Lui Fernandes and I am the Head Bartender & Owner of Labaredas Brazilian BBQ & Bar. I am obsessed with great cocktails and good booze. My passion is creating, drinking and talking about incredible cocktails that people love.
On my channel you can expect to find cocktail tutorials, some history lessons on cool boozy stuff, and lots of drinking. I will also share with you bartending tips and tricks that I have learned over the years from my time as a bartender.
I explore everything from classic recipes, to modern favorites and occasionally even a few original cocktails that currently are or have been on our menu at Labaredas. We tend to explore recipes, spirits, ingredients and stories that have originated in South/Latin America.
Sounds like a journey you would like to take?

Bro we drink Vodka because we like Vodka . We also like Tequila but is just a different thing.
Lui how you tell me not to drink the Captain Morgan spiced rum but don't suggest any other spiced rums?😂 Still my guy though
For many reasons, tons of people who drink CM don't understand that there are other types of rum, most of the spices in Captain Morgan are all artificial flavors, if you get a really good rum (like I've shown) you can get a lot of nuanced flavors thatbare better than the fake spices CM uses, and it'll taste way better.
not a mule but it sounds good ass hell
I get Plantation 5 year for $30 at my store, it's fantastic!
Whats the best rums to use in a rum runner?
Did that CM bottle land on a mattress? Or did someone catch it? Lol. Rum is not my favorite beverage but I like Dictador and El Dorado.
Mount Gay hahaha
Mount Gay is very under rated. I always try to have a bottle at home, I think it's great for the price.
Thanks for sharing this information Brother 😎✌️
I like the Plantation/Planteray line, especially their "3 Star" and Overproof "OFTD" rums
Came here to post the same thing. Ferrand’s rums are awesome.
Apparently Fortaleza is not available in Michigan 😫
Amazing recipes dude. Loved the spot on pronunciation too 😂😂😂
Brazilian Here. Traditional recipe uses a WHOLE ass lime and 2TSP of cane sugar. So there's no need of syrup or extra juice and all those steps.😅😅 Quick tip(Muddle the lime pieces with skin facing down, u dont want a bitter ahh drink😳)
Brazilian Here. If you read the title, it says how I make my caipirinhas.
@@Lui_Fern Brazilian Here. If you read the comment, it says how traditional recipe is. Não é uma ofensa véi, só deixei pra caso alguém queira saber como é a tradicional, rlx Faz do jeito que vc quiser🖐️
Try to change orgeat syrup for falernum syrup and booom! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Similar, but different
I've had that one before and I don't remember it being gold. They do sell a gold one but not in that bottle.
Try tres amigos organic next !! My new favorite
Hi Lui; can you advise if La Caza is an additive free brand. I know several of the other offerings from that NOM are certified but La Caza is not yet.
How do I do all these specific measurements 😫😫
Not a lot of cachaca where I live, but my understanding is that what defines cachaca is that it's a) made in Brazil; and b) made from sugar cane juice, rather than molasses and molasses byproducts like most rums. Rhum agricole like Barbancourt is also made from sugar cane juice - is a rhum agricole a good substitute for cachaca, or are the flavors different in some important way?
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Another banger from the master
Hahaha you're too kind. Happy you enjoyed it
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who doesnt like Casamigos.
Siete is not to be overlooked!
Tell me why should I buy El Tesoro anejo for $64.00 when I can get Don julio anejo for $56.00
Because El tesoro is additive free, delicious and way better than Don Julio. But buy what you want lol.
Yeah, Lalo is legit! I haven't tried it in a margarita yet, though. But it's great on its own as a sipper, or with just a little lime.
All five of these recipes look absolutley unbelieveable and delicous. Maybe a dumb sounding question, buy seeing as I can only find unaged Cachaca in my area, is it ok if I use that in case I can't find the aged version? Keep up the amazing work Lui, you just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Novo fogo at least sells their barrel aged stuff on their site often with shipping promotions if you pick up a couple bottles
@@kiyaanparikh7697 Good to know. Thanks
Digging the Cachaca vids Lui. Checked out your Menu to - really cool & creative cocktails! Did you have a favorite from your menu?
I’ll be up there for lunch with the family on Saturday 7/6. Hope to see you and try some of these!
i just bought a bottle and we all had it straight and it wasnt that appealing in my opinion but im looking forward to making these drinks and giving it another shot
Now this is, I know, is a good one. It is made from agave azul.
This si buls&$#
You can’t beat $30 for a liter of cinnamon or arrette
You can find minis of this...same bottle and everything! Only like 5 inches tall.
So, the only way to know is buy some and taste test it. Until my ABC store starts carrying the "el" tequilas you recommend, I'll buy the naturally derived additives without knowing it.
Which Cazcanes?
It’s become very fashionable to trash Clase Azul meanwhile it’s still a great tasting tequila if you lean to the sweeter side. In my opinion it’s way superior to El Tesoro repo, which is not as good as Don Fulano and on a par with Codigo. While I’m at it, Nom 1146 is probably better than most of what he just peddled. Fortaleza seems so hyped and impossible to get. That’s usually a sure sign it’s overrated but I’m yet to try it. If I see a bottle I’m grabbing it to form my own opinion.
I hate to be that guy man... Mixing tequila and mezcal together is a Neddy no no
okay. so don't?
@@Lui_Fern it's all about preference and taste at the end of the day, right? But seeing as Tequila is from Jalisco and Mezcal is from Oaxaca, I've never had a situation where both have been mixed. They are delicious drinks with unique flavor profiles that I feel should be enjoyed on their own. But you do you my friend.
@@andrewmcdonnell6369 you sound like a lot of fun.
Let me help you out bro. I wouldn't buy any of those tequilas. I've been living in Mexico for 10 years and I've been to Jalisco a few times where tequila is made. From what I can see, those bottles say 100% de agave. This is a marketing ploy and it's not certain what type of agave is used to produce the tequila. You want to look for something that says de agave Azul. That ensures it's a top quality tequila. A brand I can recommend is Noble Corazon and it comes from Arandas Jalisco which is one of only 2 places where tequila is produced, the other area is from a place called Tequila. Also, for those interested. Tequila Blanco is a young clear tequila, reposado is a mid aged and añejo is an aged and special tequila. For context, I said I wouldn't buy any of them, I never said I wouldn't drink them if someone offered it to me. Because, in Mexico they say... The best tequila is the one you pay for and give to me 😊
818 is actually very tasty.
Damn... Didn't Matthew McConaughey already have Wild Turkey Longbranch 😂 He should compete with Diddy since Diddy had Ciroc and Deleon🤣
Yeah vodka doesn't have flavor but here you seem like a hater. I love Tequila, gin, rum, cacacha, mezcal, absinthe, Bourbon, Rye, Scotch, irish whiskey, cognac, armagnac... Some vodkas are smooth and easy to drink like Beluga, Stoli, Broken Shed, absolut elix, Haku, purity 51, sobieski, Titos... And you have Garbage ones like crystal head, Grey goose, smirnoff, effen, khor, and (insert celebrity spirit here)
I’d love to see a video comparing the effects of subbing out charranda, cachaca, agricole, and clairin for one another! I imagine you could do that and it would work, but I’m curious how well. It would be enlightening to see a Steve the Barman or How to Drink style comparison with a few cocktails selected and a lineup of the various options compared side by side.
OMG 🔥
Great content! Excited to try a few new Rum cocktails and you've given us many choices to pull from. Thank you Lui.
Glad you like them!
Casamigos is the best. This guy has no clue.
You're the tequila ambassador to us, Lui.
Don Q is amazing. The anejo is beyond compare. I drink it in a brandy sniffer.
What I notice from 2 years of consuming alcohol every other day it’s that most people don’t do their research on what’s the best thing to drink instead they just go for what’s popular which is most likely some bs 🤷🏽♂️.
G4 repo is the one.
OMFG this is delicious. I do think I prefer it with a full 2 oz of cachaca, but that's just my initial thought. I did saline in mine as well. Otherwise, everything is the exact same... And I might need another 😮
Hell yeah! I'm happy you enjoyed it 😁😁🙏🏼
