  • Shochu is a distilled spirit from Japan that can be made from a variety of things but the one I bought is made from sweet potato and rice. In this series I make cocktails sent in by viewers This time I am making a drink called the Four Corners by loyal viewer Michael Peper.
    Four Corners
    1 oz Shochu
    1 oz Cocchi Americano
    .5 oz Pisco
    1 Dash Orange Bitters
    My improved version is called
    The Hexagon
    1 oz Shochu
    1 oz Cocchi Americano
    .5 oz Pisco
    1 Dash Orange Bitters
    .25 oz Salers
    1 Bar Spoon Honey Syrup (2:1)
    If you have a drink you would like me to fix, leave. a comment below, or DM me on Insta.
    Cheers!

    Thanks for making the drink Pete! I haven't tried this with your additions, but everything you said about its shortcomings were right and I think a little more body and back palette activity seem like welcome additions. Cheers!

    My offspring are into shochu - I think it's because they got to Korean bbq joints a lot.

    Definitely trying this. I have Soju (korean version) and I think I will swap Salers and honey syrup with Amaro Sibilla (hmm that would make it a pentagram rah roh). Trying all versions soon.

      Hello, there are two types of soju, one is traditional soju which is similar to Japanese Shochu. However, the typical green bottle sojus (jinro, cham, etc) are basically watered down vodka and not made from rice like the traditional ones.

    Your editing skills is off the charts, there are a lot of jump cuts but they don't feel jumpy at all, there is still a very nice flow. I watch most stuff on YT at 1,5 speed so if you can still maintain the flow then the editing is immaculate. Major Kudos!
    On a side note, I've been tinkering with MSG lately and was wondering would 2 drops of a saline and msg solution yield better results?

    • @UnclePete
      @UnclePete  Před 5 měsíci +2

      First of all, thank you so much! I have been trying to work on the editing so this makes me feel good!!👍🏻
      I have been hearing about msg lately but I haven’t tried it, I should put it on the list to test out, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!

      @robdielemans9189 Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@UnclePete You said the saline solution gives it a more meatier taste, which is also known as umami and that is what msg does. I'm going to do some tests with negroni's since they have a large umami element. I've also (in cooking) been working a lot with Keltic sea salt lately which is less salty and more minerally so in addition I'll be doing dome testing (middle of January I think) with plain kitchen salt saline solution and sea salt solution for cocktails.

    • @UnclePete
      @UnclePete  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Cool! Sea salt seems like a no-brainer!
