☕🥃 This Carajillo Old Fashioned Is Dangerous

Welcome to booze on the rocks. My name's David Edwards, and it's great to have you here today. We're going to make a cut of Helio old fashioned. Now this old fashioned variation was created by Sean O'Connor. Combi for a little bar in San Diego called J and Tony's discount cured meat and Negroni warehouse. Now that's a mouthful. Having said that it's got some really unique flavors and you can find it in the Medruson cocktail companion book, which just recently came out now those flavors, obviously, because it's a car Helio and it's an old fashioned really is an interesting mashup because you have to start with a little bit of a rye whiskey. I'm using a written out bottled and bond. It's 50% ABV or 100 proof. You also need either a cognac or a brandy. I'm using a little bit of, uh, uh, San Ramiz VSOP. You also need, of course, a little bit of the core 43. Now this will give you a lot of sweetness. It'll also give you a lot of those vanilla notes, but you're also going to round this out with some coffee flavors. And I'm using a little bit of Kahlua. Now the clue will bring the sweetness up as well. So what I'd love you to do here is leave a comment down below, which of these ingredients you would change to make a fantastic cocktail. Now this is a stirred cocktail. So we're going to start with your written house here, and you need a total of one ounce or 30 mils. Your second ingredient is going to be your brandy or cognac. And of course you can use them interchangeably because cognac is brandy made in the cognac region of France. Now you're going to use the same amount of one ounce or 30 mils. Your third ingredient is your liquor 43. Now these next two ingredients, you need a lot less of. We only need to really go with a quarter of an ounce of each, which works out to seven and a half mils. Your fourth ingredient is going to be your coffee. Look here, as I said, I'm using a little bit of Kahlua here. And again, this is one of those ingredients that you can interchange and get some really unique flavoring and sweetness levels. You're going to use the same amount of a quarter of an ounce or seven and a half mils. Your next step is to stir this with a little bit of ice. So what we're going to do is fill our glass here. Our stirring vessel, I should say about a third to two thirds of the way up. You don't need too much because you don't want to have too much ice because you don't need to over dilute it. So we're going to stir this for a good 20 to 30 seconds. And what this will do, it'll just dilute it just enough and really chill it down. So we get the temperature that we really want. And while I'm stirring, I should come up with something really impressive to say, but I got nothing for you except for, I hope you enjoy this. Oh yeah. Grab yourself your favorite rocks class. Now I do have a, a double rocks glass. It's 12 ounces, 360 mils. And what we're going to do is we're going to actually add some fresh ice to this. I'm going to try and add some fresh ice. We're not going to add a lot, just three cubes or so. What we'll do next is we will garnish this with three coffee beans in there, just like so. And here you have a Cargill old fashioned. It's a beautiful Amber color. Um, you just can't go wrong with that. It's an easy eight out of 10 to look at. That is really good. The Ryan, the brand you're there. They're well blended, but you get the vanilla notes from the liquor 43 and the sweetness and a little bit of those coffee flavors, which just are highlighted by a coffee bean garnish. This is a nine out of 10 to drink for sure. Now, if you like cocktails like this, take a look after the rest of your card right over here.
