Pop Culture Cocktail: Butterbeer (From Harry Potter)

- čas přidán 9. 12. 2018
- Welcome to the first video in a new cocktail series Pop Culture Cocktails! In this series We'll take cocktails from Films, Television Shows and other Pop Culture vehicles and reconstruct them into delicious drinks we hope capture the essence of what their authors intended. In this video brilliant LA Bartender Chris Day (Newly defected to SF actually) makes us his interpretation of the Butterbeer drink as seen in the Harry Potter series. Because Chris has an unparalleled eye for detail he also made sure that 99.9% of the ingredients in this cocktail hail from England!
It's also worth mentioning that Butterbeer is an actual drink with an actual history, not really a creation of the brilliant J.K. Rowling. The drink hails all the way back to 1588 Tudor England and is not unlike a Flip or Egg Nog really, and seeing as Mrs. Rowling holds a degree in the Classics from Exeter University it's not a stretch to see where she got inspiration. At some point I will do the classic recipe for this drink but I thought this would be a break from the recipes floating around. Something unique and quite delicious. This drink is great and you should all give it a try. Find out why Harry himself donned his invisibility cloak and risked expulsion from Hogwarts just to get his magical little mitts on this drink.
A Note: This cocktail works very well with Lager but in the video we use Boddington's Pub Ale and that is delicious as well. Make sure you use a 12oz Pilsner glass when topping off.
Also we are aware that there's a typo in the end screen the amount of Brown Butter Fat Washed Vodka should read 22.5ml not 45ml we didn't want to lose the views on this one so we are not for the time being going to take it down to fix it. Hope you guys understand!

Great episode! I love your regular stuff, but I think this is a really fun series too
Armando Garza yeah I’ll be doing more of these
Finally making this tonight! So excited!!
Great video! Definitely making this.
This looks fun! I am going to surprise my brother at Christmas.
The timeing, in regards to how to drink is fantastic. Should have had a cameo from him in this.
Great video as always! Greetings from tiny cold switzerland
hello! Thanks for watching!
Bahahah loved the intro!
Very keen for the rest of this series!
What did you think about How to drinks video on butter beer?
Glad it was different than mine! LOL
Glorified Boilermaker. Is not a phrase I expected to hear today.
Do you have any recommendations for which bourbon to butter wash? Or maybe just a certain flavor profile that works well with it?
Last brown butter bourbon I used was Four Roses yellow label. Higher-proof actually makes for better flavor extraction, so your best bet would actually be Evan Williams bonded (white label) or Fighting Cock.
Christopher Day Ok cool. So do you think Four Roses would be too low of a proof? It’s kind of my favorite so that’s what I was thinking of washing. But EW White Label sounds good too
@@AbyssWalkerDraiden Sorry for the late response, but 4 roses should work great! It's what PDT used for their original bacon fat washed old fashioned. Tried and true!
This looks like deadly and good drink
Whahaha great intro!!
Thank you! Everyone thinks the universal studios drink is what butter beer is! And it's just soda! It's like what they did with Duff beer and made it an energy drink!-_-
The cream sherry seemed a little too prominent to me (perhaps it’s because I’m not a huge sherry fan). I think butterscotch liqueur would be interesting to include, but I’m definitely a novice when it comes to flavor pairing, etc. I tripled the amount of vanilla liqueur to give it a sweeter taste. Still wasn’t crazy about it, but it did improve the drink overall - to me. Thanks for the video/recipe!
Is there a specific kind of beer that works best with this cocktail? I mean, I'm assuming stouts and such would be out, but I wasn't sure if there was a preference as to IPA's, Pilsners, etc...looks great btw though!
yeah, Lager is the best to use, but Boddingtons Pub Ale which we use in the video is really nice. You don't want to use anything too flavorful and coplex because you'll lose the sherry flavor profile otherwise.
Mother Earth Brewing Cali Creamin' would go great with this
@@tmartinez426 Bingo. Low-hop, medium to light malt body is the best to let the hooch do it's stuff.
Cheeeeeese
What type of beer do you use? Was it a pale ale?
Yes, we used a Pale Ale, Boddingtons Pub Ale.
would Tuaca work instead of Vanilla liqueur?
Unlike Tuaca, Giffard Vanille is extremely one-note and vanilla forward (IE I do not recommend trying it as a shot, as one would with Tuaca), and is why I use so little in each drink. I wouldn't discourage you from putting some Tuaca in there for some nuance, but the overall flavor profile of the drink needs more vanilla flavor that what Tuaca is packing. Even if that flavor comes from a drop or two of extract. Give it a try and let me know how it comes out!
Nice :) You should tjek out how to drink and gregs butter beer. Its soooo good ;)
Wow that looks amazing. I’m curious if it would also work with bourbon instead of vodka
It would be a new cocktail if you did, let us know :) Just remember to butter wash the bourbon.
Spoiler alert: it will.
So I have the ingredients but Ive been hesitant to open them because im thinking I should save em and host some sort of Harry Potter themed gathering
also i tried butter washing and am not sure I did it correctly...
i wanted to comment here this is makes more sense here. we need more cocktails with beer. i do Guinness with a 1/2 oz bushmills white label and 1/2 oz Bailey's(Irish Dynamite ), i feel one of the herby spirits could pair with the hops of a pale ale. so how about a beer episode?
Would you consider making a cocktail with gingerbread liqueur leading up to Christmas?
What if you made an egg white fizz with tonic soda, orange juice, ginger wine, and Becherovka? (Been loving that last one this advent, it's like mince pie filling but as a digestif but in a good way.)
Peter Carey I will definitely try this, but what I have is a bottle of sweet gingerbread infused liqueur rather than straight ginger wine
@@DavidRamseyIII You'll actually try it? Awesome let me know how it goes. I'd chuck the gingerbread liqueur onto vanilla ice cream or into hot chocolate personally, it sounds a bit niche to find cocktails for.
H2d did the same! 😅
Yes but totally differently. I love the look of both though.
We've had this video ready for release for a while but had been saving it for the Holidays. And please excuse the audio, magic seems to have a strange interference with our audio equipment.
The Educated Barfly don’t worry about sound. The content is great. 👌🏻 love this recipe. Hands down my go to channel for cocktails!
But sooooo different! I like that too.
@@TheEducatedBarfly I loved it. It was fun.
36 "UUUM" where said during this videos.
Great video, will try for sure. 👌🏼

Accio BUTT !
Staph it Rahn, staph !
👍
you guys only have one mic?
c r our mic broke while filming and we couldn’t reshoot because Chris moved away so yeah for this one video we did it with one mic, but we have more now :)
Methinks we need a brown-butter+-bourbon cocktail video now...
I mean...I have recipes...
🤤
They also drink mead! Book 5 & 6
They also drink Firewhiskey
The reason butterbeer isn't explained in Harry Potter is that it didn't need to be. It's not some magical thing. It's a real drink from the real world and it comes from Tudor era England. Just look up the recipe.
3/4 oz = 45mL ?
Oh crap! typo?
Now do we fix it and lose all the views? Should read 22.5ml btw.
The Educated Barfly no worries, still the best 👍🏻
What function is the vodka playing here? Couldn't you just fat wash the sherry?
#likesarefree so hit like on the video!
You almost disappointed Potterheads lol
It’s pronounced /ass-io/.... muggles!
Still worked though!
I don't think the kids had alcohol in their butter beer. Sad I hoped for a non alcoholic cocktail.
Hi Morticia, we hear you on the non alcoholic recipes and that is something we're working on.
@Sheldon Robertson I don't remember Dobby beeing drunk, but ok. But Harry Potter is still a book for Children and Teens and I highly doubt that the Author intended to tell young peolple that alcohol is a good thing. And yes, we in Europe can drink alcohol earlier than the US, but the Kids drink Butterbeer long before they are 16.
@Sheldon Robertson Why do you think it is ok to insult me? I was polite enough to answer and I answered politely. But you think because you don't like what I say it ok beeing rude?
First
Wondering if you can email me some recipes I'm a young bartender I need all I can get
Literally just google them, or watch videos?
Download Milk and Honeys app, “bartenders choice”. Great compendium of classics and modern classics every bartender should know.
Christopher Day thanks graduating from bartending school need some recipes
Vodka baileys a pinch of salt and a dash of vinegar is an amazing cocktail
@@slimjesus4513 doesn't sound like school taught you much. I'd ask for a refund.
These guys are so uncomfortable to watch.
Messylife goddamnit, Jim, I’m a bartender, not an actor.
Cocktail nerds are nerds, too. Go easy.
No hate, just uncomfortable 😂 mine are worse (made em when I was young
