Welcome to Common Man Cocktails, I’m your host Derrick Schommer and today we’re going to do something a little different. That’s looks intimidating that is quite of few alcohols here, it’s not really that bad. We’re going to be doing what’s called—were trying to keep this clean and the unfortunate part is a lot of recipes have names that may or may not be appropriate for young viewers or iTunes or anywhere else in my publishes. So, we’re going to call this the Mongolian Mother F’er, put a star anywhere in the last word but you get where I’m going with this.
I didn’t name it. It’s popular enough that it doesn’t have any other names and it has a few ingredients. We’ve got some Sloe Gin where you're going to use 3 of the brand spirits line, we’re going to used the Valor Vodka, Standing Guard Gin, At Ease Rum, a little 151 action, a Triple Sec, Southern Comfort 100 proof. So you add this still dangerous we’re going to splash in some orange juice, some cranberry juice a little Grenadine and I think that’s it. And we’re going use the Collins glass these are from homebarsupplys.com. Definitely want to check this guys out. They have the frosted ones which if you're doing this at home and you're going to be impressing people or you want to impress people I think these look better.
Now, what I did is I got a few with these ones for the show because they are clear and they pretty much show you exactly what we’re working on. But check out homebarsupplys.com, they have a lot of other stuffs too. If you’re looking from martini glasses they have some pretty fancy ones. They have all the accessories, every thing for your home bar. So, it’s a kind of like a one-stop-shop and they ship pretty quickly so I was impressed. So check them out, we’ll link them up on everydaydrinkers.tv a little later and let’s get started.
Well, this is intimidating for me. Just move some of these off to the side here and we’ll start mixing. It’s only going to be 1 quarter ounce of all the alcohols. If you want to make more than a serving, double your ingredients. If you want to make a punch bowl, go wild all you need to do is just multiply. So, hope that gave anything. The trick here is remember what we did and what didn’t do. So this is be the ones we haven’t done the alcohols. We’ll do 1 quarter each, small measurements will takes a little time to get it right. Gin is finish and you can see it’s really not much, not very dangerous at all.
The trick here is all about the chemistry and how will this work together. This also came from Nick, he’s a bartender and he said you got try this and tell me what you think. I tried it but I’m not really got to tell everybody what I think until I finish the secret. And I tell you something I wouldn’t do it if I don’t like it. A little over spill on that one.
Now this is the 100 proofs Southern Comfort. If you don’t have a 100 proof that’s fine the recipe does not explicitly call for 100 proof I just have it in the house and it was on sale so I got a 100 proof instead of the non-100 proof. 151 is definitely called for in the recipe so you want to make sure you stick with that mainly because we’ve already got rum in here to begin with. So, you can’t just double your rum that’s no fun.
So, vodka, this is actually came in when I said we didn’t have any sloe gin recipes and they said, “Hey you know what this is sloe gin just enough the color”. So, that’s really a single serving not that impressive. Move these guys over. Now we’re going to splash this so we’re not really just going to measure it, we’re just got a kind of add a little in there to give it the little extra flavor, a little fruitiness because right now we’re really hardcore into the alcohol. And you double this ingredients. Anyway you look at it, it’s a lot alcohol, lot of potent alcohol. OJ, anti scurvy. There we go. Ice here up. Oh one more here. Ice up our glass; give it a nice 10 second shake.
Then other thing I mentioned last time, you want to smell all your ingredients, you might want to also taste them it’s going to be challenging but I highly suggest especially with the drink like this if you wanted to know how such chemistry comes to be. You don’t have to do a full shot you just kill yourself but take a little time just to sip and taste them and see what the taste like all separate that way this will make more sense when you’re done. You’ll be able to pick out some of the ingredients. It’s not much different than doing a wine tasting, so there you go. Now if I doubled the ingredient just like I’ve done before that you can fill it right to the top. Fill 2 of this, they look fancy, nice and cold.
Now, this is weird. This is the reaction of all this make together is intense yet familiar. It’s got a tropical scent, almost like a pineapple even though there is non in here maybe it’s the cranberry working with sloe gin. It kind of got the tropical look to it, a little orangish brownish, red there is going to be a burn but it’s a good burn. It’s a healthy burn, oh not really. It’s got little flavors of the oranges just a little sweetness somehow though you don’t pick out any one of these ingredients as overwhelming. They’re all exactly 1 quarter of an ounce but I mean a quarter of an ounce of 151 compared to a quarter ounce of sloe gin is not really the same thing but they play very well together definitely a neat little drink.
I think this is about as dangerous if not more than a Long Island Ice Tea. It’s definitely cool. It’s not too much alcohol it’s just right. So if you want to try something intense and something different the Mongolian Mother F’er might not be a bad suggestion I don’t know. I like to also thank the guys and gas at Home Bar Supplies for actually supplying us with Collins glasses. We’ve been looking for these things for months, glass ones too. They’re not little plastic sheet things.
Anyway, I’m Derrick Schommer and we’re teaching you how to drink.
