#frozencocktails #frozendaiquiri #strawberrydaiquiri #frozenmargarita #behindthebar #bartending - Jak na to + styl
Here in the Philippines we have a dessert called halo-halo (literally mix-mix), which is a mix of various sweet ingredients in crushed ice and milk. We didn’t have a blender, so what my mom would do is make the ice by putting milk and sugar already into the water before freezing. The resulting ice could easily be scraped with a spoon to get you a fine, sweet ice slush, just like your granita base.
I make "summer" drinks in our winter to give myself the illusion of better weather
🤣
Oh my! That granita slushie sounds excellent! Can never go wrong with the frozen margarita or strawberry daiquiri. I like doing a hybrid of frosé + strawberry daiquiri.
Love this. I got stuck behind the bar at my cousin's house a couple weeks ago blending all kinds of frozen drinks (a peach and mango daiquiri won the evening!) so this granita recipe is timely. Now I know (for next time)!
Brilliant! What wonderful Scottish/Aussie summer feeling!
Yummy. Gonna try all 3 of these.
It's such a shame that the frozen strawberry Daiquiri has such a bad rep especially among bartenders so it's always great to see them being made properly with quality ingredients and measurements!
Thank you! Frozen drinks recipe that honor the original cocktail and are not just sugar bombs are hard to find.
Excellent choices for us Arizona folks! Summer is indeed here (43C; 110F) today and most of next week, and any one of those frozen cocktails sounds soooo inviting! Great video. Thanks for clarifying the amount of ice used in these drinks. I'm going to get reacquainted with my blender shortly! Cheers!
Hope you enjoy 😊
the granita slushie technique is a great idea!
Love it!
I love strawberries, Rum, oh yes!!! Great tip, keep it all cold, Rum will not freeze in the freezer, Frozen glass, You can drink it slow and enjoy it!!! Great video !!! And you can make a bigger version!!! You will need a bigger glass
The Strawberry Daiquiri was delicious on a hot night. Havana club 3yo is noticeably present but doesn't overpower the cocktail. And metal straws are indeed not ideal (they clog up), but that was all I had. Thanks for the wonderful recipes.
Yummy !
Love the pre-freeze method. Gotta make sure to hide it in the back, top of the freezer so the kids don't get into it.
We made the strawberry daiquiris using a local rum and they hit the spot! Thank you for these recipes
Glad you enjoyed it!
Salud🍻from mexico
Perfect timing for us Texas folks :)
Great ideas! Kampai!
2:18 - I can’t speak for others, but as for me, I’ve always been a fan of strawberries.
Love the hand behind the back stance at the end - very classy! BTW, I know it's akin to using a mallet, but are those hand cranked ice crushers good for a particular style of cocktail?
They do the job for smaller amounts for sure! And they look cute haha
Great videos! Do u know a recipe for a peach Bellini 😀
❤
I was keen to try the Granita Slushie, but then got puzzled. You recommend to go on the sweeter side with frozen cocktails, but one seems to not follow the same advice.
Is the peach liqueur you're using very sweet? How much sirup would you add when using extra dry vermouth as opposed to (what I'm assuming is) blanco vermouth?
Thank you! I'm looking forward to trying this technique, since my blender recently passed with a wisp of smoke. :D
Both the white vermouth and liqueur in the Granita recipe are sweet, and the grapefruit and orange juice are nowhere near as sour as lemon or lime so it definitely still comes out on the sweeter side!
@@BehindtheBar Thank you. I went with creme de cassis and tequila for Paloma/Sunrise granita.
Why did you use simple syrup and not agave syrup for the margarita?
To be perfectly honest I just didn’t have any where we were filming! It would definitely work well 😊
Is there a trick to guaging dillution in a boozy granita the way you float an egg in a sorbet base and see if the part that floats over the surface is the size of a 25 cent piece (or your aus dollar coin)?
ooh I’m honestly not too sure, I hadn’t heard of the egg trick! I’ll be interested to see if anyone has any hacks 😊
Thank you Cara and team for all the content. I tried to register to the course, but it's not going through check out. Is it not active anymore?
Hi Christina! So sorry to hear this, I’ve reached out to International Open Academy and will see what they say 😊
When you say 'cup of ice' how do you know what that is? is a cup an actual measurment?
Yes it’s about 130g or 4.5oz 😊
@@BehindtheBar and is that about half a Boston shaker full of ice give or take? :)
Unpopular opinion but:
A frozen daiquiri requires a small spoon!
I cant be the only one!😂
Hang on, isn't it winter there?
Zombie to come! :)
Have you made an X Cocktail.
I haven’t heard of an X cocktail, what’s in it?
My mother used to made a Calvados-Apple Granita that was the bomb-diggity of summer slushees.
Also, it’s very much NOT summer where you are. Do most of your fans / Patreon Devine-ties live in the northern hemisphere, or did you just do this now assuming lots of us (including myself) have no nighttime view of the Southern Cross?
That sounds amazing! Haha yes, the majority of our audience is in the northern hemisphere so we’re putting our jealousy aside.
I wish someone sends me money so I can buy booze again
😢
Talk to much get with the program!!!!
Hi Elyssia! This is a drinks education youtube so most viewers like the additional information and science. We do have some short format videos for when you want to get straight into the make:

could you replace the simple syrup with strawberry syrup for a frozen strawberry daiquiri ? thanks.
For sure!
