[piggings]

this guy sounds exactly like lapeño from fur tv

[heekun]

I wonder if he knows Sasakura Ryu.

[bambamcfc]

would anyone be able to tell me the type of glass he served it in? bin looking for it everywhere

cheers

[jimthedemon]

I'm thirsty:)

[adizzles18]

too much sugar, bitch shake, no d/strain, glass too full. wicked ad though...

[Opretlis]

that kind of videos make me pride of beeing a Bartender

[biromiklos]

@Opretlis me to bro:D

[Floflyz]

Well I think we should all focus on the bartender here, even though he might be an actor, I think he's got killing style.

The only thing is : I wonder why he didn't fine strain his Daiquiri. It must be full of little ice chips...

And for the record Bacardi Original, far from being the best rum, is a drink of honorable quality. I personnaly don't use it for cocktails but then again every bartender has a different way of working, choosing his alcohols and different views on quality.

Peace

[wefromtheunderground]

@Floflyz The shake he uses is the Ginza Japanese Hardshake which is suppose to be like the ultimate shaking technique in the world. The reason why he didn't strain his daiquri is that in Japan, the ice they use in Cocktail bars now are a Big circular ball of ice that doesn't splinter into small pieces and dilute due to its large surface area. Go figure, Japanese are perfectionists

[adizzles18]

@wefromtheunderground ice balls still splinter...you bash anything hard enough against a metal surface and it will splinter. Ice that doesn't dilute? 1. that ruins the point of shaking in that first place 2. all ice dilutes at different paces based on mineral/molecular structure etc unless you triple freeze your ball ice until it's completely pure then use your Ginza blowup doll shake...props to Floflyzx Bacardi isn't by any means a good rum but isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

[Floflyz]

@adizzles18 Thanks for props man ! I think what wefromtheunderground meant is that the splinters dilutes the drink. Sure the whole purpose of shaking is to get dilution, but another purpose is to control that dilution not to get a drink that's too watered down, especially on a drink like a Daiquiri ! I do agree with you on the fact that ice balls splinters though, probably less than cubed ice.

[wefromtheunderground]

@adizzles18 Just looked it up, the ice is ordered from a special shop in Japan. The ice they use is suppose to be a really special ice, almost the same as the one they use in ice sculpting. it does splinter but i guess not as much as normal ice would. its just that because its a big round ball, it just takes longer for it to dilute then just using normal ice. Makes sense

[jamesirvine1990]

@wefromtheunderground companies such as cold draft and hosizaki ice are used primarily as the same function, but actual ice that you can use in normal drinks. other drinks such as old world style drinks may call for chipped ice or blocks, where you'll see the cubes, spheres or even diamonds being used.

[Floflyz]

@wefromtheunderground Thanks for the info m8, I looked up that Ginza hard shake ur talking about, it's a whole technique i didn't know about ! Do u reckon it's because they use these big balls of ice they all use cobbler shakers ? In here (UK) we use Bostons with a glass part maybe it would get broken by such a big mass of ice...This is really interesting !

I still think these balls of ice do splinter a little bit tho...

[Mrxiiijojjo]

@wefromtheunderground Best comment on youtube, only true info, no bs :)

[erpeeferr]

So, even the probably smoking wearing guys behave like the average computer nerds when discussing Youtube videos. Interesting learning :)

[Floflyz]

@erpeeferr We're alcohol and mixology geeks :)

[tudza]

No need for a napkin. He did not spill and to imply the customer would would be rude.

[JudgeValkenheiser]

It's classy, but a bit stereotypical. Sorry to be the P.C. police folks.

[lukasz21baby]

wheres the napkin under the drink :P

[fuzzygreen]

@lukasz21baby

Or a garnish for that matter.

[Dominikmj]

quite cool - though a bit too obvious for a guerilla marketing campaign...

[backin5]

Fantastic -mmm i would love a drink now yum

[frankymilano]

Don't know how a little you know about drinks but with this comment it's show that you're quite ignorant. The first Daiquirí was made with Bacardi carta Blanca in 1898, in Cuba. As you probably know Daiquirí is a small miner's town in Cuba.

[TheNewJamesDean]

You have no idea sir, I know all about bacardi, what I was getting at is it's a shame this classic cocktail is commonly made with bacardi when it is no longer a cuban rum, it is made in puerto rico with cane from other countries. It is no longer traditional. Next time you want to teach me something think twice.

[sacrificedpain]

I've read all the comments, and you are by far the most ignorant commenter on youtube. You should do some research on sugarcane before making a reference like the one in this comment. The sugarcane source is of absolutely no importance to the quality or production of the rum if the rum is made from treacle, or as they refer to it in america, molasses. You're lack of knowledge and your rageful commenting against others just shows your lack of tolerance and commnication skills.

[TheNewJamesDean]

AHAHAH omg you have just embarrassed yourself so bad. You are obviously targeting me rather than the facts since this comment relates nothing to mine, u have briefly read it and focused on my "Ignorance". I will repeat myself for the slow ones out there. I said the rum is no longer TRADITIONAL, and was referring to Puerto Rican rums in general and the low standard/quality. Now bacardi is made there Its a downgraded product. It's like grapes from france with wine made in england, French? English?

[sacrificedpain]

And yet you validate my observation of you being the most ignorant. How exactly does it stop being traditional? The fact that you are comparing cane with grapes is asinine. Unlike grapes, cane is not affected by the terroir or microclimate unless the speces you are planting is unfit for particular soil. However, this is irrelevant to rum made from molasses, because the final composition of the molasses is affected by the sugar extraction process. In other words, by the Sugar Refinery

[TheNewJamesDean]

By the way I know how rum is made and what molasses is you fuckwit, don't get so high and mighty so quickly, you are not the sole keeper of that information, I know all about it. And to judge my communication skills is just sad, when you cannot even slightly grasp a single sentence of my previous comment before quickly attacking me and my knowledge of rum. Since I'm so unfit to communicate you can take centre stage here bud and tell everyone about it. Good riddance.

[thinkingbartender]

treacle and molasses are different.

[TheNewJamesDean]

Got to appreciate a good 'Hard Shake' A shame it's disgusting Bacardi in the drink, which is a puerto rican rum not a traditional cuban for an original daiquiri.

[Dominikmj]

Bacardi was the original [if even it might be different from today] and it is not disgusting.

I don't say, that it is good - but a Daiquiri with Bacardi but fresh lime juice is better than a Daiquiri with a better rum but sweet & sour mix, as used in most of the bars...

[TheNewJamesDean]

It the worst white rum on the market today, if you have tried ANY other rums you will agree. Puerto rican rums are regarded as the worst rums in the world. Sweet & sour mix? Well that is a very low standard, I have never come across a mix of that kind, juice should always be squeezed that day. Since the Daiquiri is a cuban creation it should be made with a cuban rum. The only rum they use in cuba is Havana Club, which is miles better than that other toxic commercial junk.

[Dominikmj]

That is not true.

I am not a fan of Bacardi. It can be seen as little cane flavored vodka-which is not really a achievement.

Though it is cleanly made and consistent. There are much worse budget rums on the market. And I'm kinda appreciating the honesty, that they don't sell it for an overpriced rate, as others do.

And: Bacardi was the original Cuban rum! Without Bacardi, nobody would drink light rum - maybe even not any rum at all!

Havana blanco is different- but in my eyes not much better!

[TheNewJamesDean]

You are one of the most confused people I have come across. You should never made a statement about rum like that, you have no idea whatsoever about the spirit so please leave your tragic opinion out. Rum is one of the most popular spirits in the world and has even been used as currency, let alone being rashoned in the navy originally to prevent sickness. Rum was around alot longer than bacardi, it is not the first rum ever made. The company was established a few years before havana club.

[Dominikmj]

Hey - you might be confused! I never said, that Bacardi actually invented rum. But they revolutionized rum.

Until then there was virtually no light or golden rum - only the heady heavy rums.

You are just bullshitting and bullying with kinda half-knowledge- probably fueled by the guerilla marketing of HC.

No hard feelings though- never said Bacardi is my favorite [Elements 8 platinum is great - or aged Ron Zacapa or El Dorado >15 years]. I've only said, that it is not the worst. It isn't!

[TheNewJamesDean]

How would you know they revolutionized rum! This was 150yrs ago! How am I "Bullshitting"? It is true bacardi isn't drunk in cuba anymore and it is NOT MADE THERE. Get that through your skull. Wow you know a few of the most popular rums I am so proud.

[frankymilano]

Cuban rum is a style of rum, not an originan. It's perceived as a light and refreshing rum. Daiquirí was invented by an American engineer in 1898 with Bacardi. The family and the company got banned from Cuba in 1960 since the government nationalised all private owned companies. HC was established in 1934, the date on the bottle is the date that the Areche distillery opened, they're also been banned from Cuba.

Bacardi by the way was the first one to deliberatly age rum in oak casks.

[TheNewJamesDean]

Mate I know what Cuban rum is dumbo, don't tell me how to perceive it. This little info session has nothing to do with my statement. It looks like you're trying to make yourself look smart, this information is available to anyone. You have basically just confirmed my comment anyway.

[frankymilano]

Didn't confirm your statement at all, the opposite actually but anyway.. I never discuss taste since that's individual, so by saying that rum from Puerto Rico is disgusting you've already lost your credibility. By the way HC was produced in PR during the second world war. End of line.

[TheNewJamesDean]

Yes you did, by telling me they were banned. Credibilty?? I never said disgusting, so get it right, rum from puerto rico is considered the worst style out of all rums! They have alot around them to compete with. If you choose no to agree you will be wrong, and if you don't it will look like you make up your own facts because this is more true than any comment you've made so far. Learn a little and get it through your head. Honestly I don't care about HC and bacardi is no way original in rum.

[julep07]

You have little to no idea... If you knew anything about Rum you would know the history of Bacardi... It created cocktail culture during prohibition dude. It was the original white rum and revolutionised the way rum was made. Swallow your pride and stop bagging a brand that has so much credibility.

[TheNewJamesDean]

The history is there for everyone, it is no secret! Created cocktail culture!?? LMFAO!!!!!!! So every prohibiton cocktail is made from rum!? Ok wise guy tell me how many classic cocktails were invented during prohibition period compared to the ones that were made during earlier or later times? Without a google search! Such smart asses on here get a swatch of info from a search and come spitting at me. FUK U PPL WITH ORIGINAL! I AM SAYING IT IS NOT TRADITIONAL ANYMORE, THAT'S DIFFERENT U RETARDS!

[Dominikmj]

There is Cuban rum and Cuban styled rum!

But you are right - Puerto Rican rum anyway just emerged, when Bacardi left Cuba and started there...

Bacardi established several standards, now almost natural in the industry: using special yeast cultures, filter the spirit through active carbon, deliberately age in oak, establish an über marketing...

[TheNewJamesDean]

I know about cuban style. When a company moves abroad it no longer is a local product! Nobody cares about bacardi in cuba, it's foriegn now and isn't up to standard to the other offerings the cubans have around them. Even if the 8yo, which I had last night, is decent. This comment is way off topic. What bacardi has acheived is of no importance to me. Usually the biggest and richest companies have the resources to research this stuff anyway, kinda like ferrari for motors.

[mbramful]

Bacardi have been making rum in Puerto Rico since 1936 and Mexico since 1931. It's nothing new, just knowledge about it is new.

[kilotongo]

There are lots of rums used in Cuba. I presume that you have never heard of ron Varadero, ron el Caney, ron Santiago de Cuba, ron Mulata, and the list goes on. Your credibility is slowly falling apart.

[eric1983]

Word! (just came back from Habanna yesterday *smile*)

[metsizzle]

awesome vid!

[julep07]

Love this video...

[Ronderboy]

What a great video! I love the hard shake technique and the way that he prepares this great cocktail...

well done!

[GBABombaySapphire]

Love the samurai sword sound effects. Can I have a sound effect thingy to fix to the top of a bottle to make it sound like that when its opened please?! :-)
