New Orleans' best cocktails: Hot Buttered Rum

[madmomagain]

It's a shame that the Ritz Carlton is misspelled as the Ritz Carlon in the intro!

[autobot69000]

i wonder if you can turn this into ice cream

You gotta love a guy who's basically taking a bunch of ingredients that cost almost nothing, mixes them up using his skills, and when he's done the product goes for what...9 bucks? 11? 12? Could even be 16-20, if he's working in Manhattan or a major metro area in an upscale place. High-end places make a 400-500% profit on booze. Helps cover the paper-thin profit margin on food.

You make almost nothing on food. In the restaurant business, the food is just there so you drink more.

@Boxerfanjoe you use brown sugar to the hot buttered rum

[omjeremy]

[terratrema]

My opinion - mu'fuckin delicious.

I'll be making alot of these bad boys come winter.

This guy is a national treasure. They don't make bartenders like this anymore.

[TimBrownbread]

Appleton Estate rum, my favorite!

[DonMoza]

@TimBrownbread

:) If you're into rums try Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, a really smooth, warm and heavy rum from Venezuela, not really well known but worth every cent. It has great notes of dried fruits, allspice, pineapple, cinnamon, leather, tobacco and nut, just awesome!

[mmmbreakfast2]

Just made this, it's awesome

[YearraeY]

uh the rum uh is delicious uh, this uh drink uh is epic uh.

CLASS bartender

[QuantikMusic]

@YearraeY You're a wanker, that is all.

[GcCa2Lv]

This dude Chris looks like the type of 'tender that you can sit down and shoot the $hit with.

Good job, keep it up

[writeDVD]

Drinking butter? No way. Sorry, this is a drink that will never touch my lips.

[nateboston78]

@TheParalyzer13 - and why is this a faggot as opposed to a straight douche? People who throw around faggot terms annoy the f##ck out of me.

[PixelPariah]

@nateboston78

No one cares how you feel.

[jackkear]

@PixelPariah no one cares how you feel either

[QuantikMusic]

@PixelPariah Agreed haha!

[hunclemike]

@TheParalyzer13 Zima! That was goddamn hilarious. And, by the way, I just had my first hot buttered rum yesterday at a place in Lake Placid called The Cottage. It was 3 degrees and snowing. I'm a foodie and drink beer,wine...you name it....the drink may have been the most delicious things that ever passed through my lips. And it relaxed the hell out of me, I had 4 of them. I will be using this recipe tomorrow night. Thanks for the great comment, I had a nice giggle....Zima.

[jackkear]

@TheParalyzer13 what a bigoted caveman you are

[DonTheCritic]

You can tend my bar anytime!

[BajaGordon]

this guy is great. I would love to order a drink from him. a consummate professional

[Joensson]

What an absolute pro.

[ButteryLobster]

yes, the 'uh' is annoying, but that doesn't change the fact that i'm trying to memorize all these videos in detail, with notes. this guy rocks!

[taintofshadow]

I think it's because this is done impromptu, also, he's neither a public speaker nor an actor, so i don't expect him to speak perfectly.

I actually think he's doing a great job, seeing as he does better here than 90% of the kids who attempt a practiced speech in class.

[stupidmexicanchicken]

I actually call it a hot Toddy but it's good to know the actual name

[skyrissian]

This looks incredible, but what is the orange zest? I thought orange zest was just the orange coloring of the peal, scraped off and grated. But this looks like the whole orange peal.

[trainerboipaul]

zest is both, basically it is the orange coloured skin of the orange, in cooking it is usually grated but in a drink it is used as a slice...

[KidCr3nshaw]

My favorite bartender, flawless as always!
