Just To Be Clear
My take on a clarified pina colada. I actually split based it with a toasted coconut infused Bacardi and a non-deodorized coconut oil washed cognac. I made an acid adjusted cryo-concentrated pineapple juice, sweetened it with a tepache, and clarified it using full fat coconut milk.

@Stephane Foisy thank you
How to make use of raw mangoes?
Hi! I want to make something with raw mangoes but I'm not sure how to do it. There would be significantly less juice compared to ripe mangoes, so I'm not sure blending is the way to go. Has anyone tried making a cheong with raw mangoes? How about an oleo saccharum? Initial idea is to play around with the daquiri template but I'd also want it to have a savory kick. Anyway, that's a long way from now. Would appreciate your comments!

Are you talking about the mangoes that turn yellow when ripe like champagne mangoes that happen to be unripe or the ones that turn red/ yellow when ripe? Either way you can blend it with Pectinex. I've always done 2% by weight of flesh and blend it together. Once blended you can seal it in a jar or bag, use a sous vide at 122 degrees Fahrenheit or 50 degrees Celsius for an hour. Pectinex works best at that temperature. You can alternatively put it in the fridge overnight and strain it the next day, but sous vide is faster. Or you can put it on the stove in a water bath, but you have to monitor the temperature carefully so you don't kill the enzyme beforeor finishes the job. Once strained through a coffee filter or layers of cheese cloth, you can taste it and either acid adjust it or add sugar to turn it into a syrup. As for the peels, I've turned it into tepache. Just check it every day so it doesn't over ferment. I've used the clarified raw mango juice as an acidic base for cocktails, I've also added champagne vinegar and sugar to make a shrub.

Welcome everyone! Happy holidays!
Matcha-Tini
Hi everyone! I'm new to the space so thought I'd share an original of mine. The challenge was to create a menu around the theme of "Gin & Tea" which I found quite tricky, and this was actually one of the first cocktails I made for the rooftop bar. Being a bit rebellious and a matcha & mezcal lover, I tried to bend the rules as much as I could... Matcha-Tini: - Gin (Bombay-type) - 25mL - Mezcal - 15mL - Triple sec - 25mL - Matcha & Basil syrup - 35mL - Lemon juice - 15mL - Orange juice - 15mL - Vegan foamer/egg white Coupe/double shake/fine strain and garnish with a violette or rose flower I never managed to get it perfect and I had limited creative freedom at the time (it was an amateur bar), but was proud to concoct something decent with matcha 😃 Let me know what you think!

Gin and tea play so well together. I've made so many combos at this restaurant used to work for. I've made a berry hibiscus sour using something sweeter like a barr hill gin. I've used old tom style gin with a Thai tea syrup for the fall. I've used a citrus forward gin like Gordon's and used a jasmine tea and longon juice.

@Gregory Foster there's a green thai tea as well that's jasmine tea base as opposed to the orange one that is black tea based
Almost there
Thank you all for sticking around. We have completed our relocation and we are enjoying a well-deserved holiday in Italy 🇮🇹 It's been a crazy ride trying to work, move between two houses and keep up with everything. It was a hard time as we lost our dog during this time, and this made a mark on my kids. I've also decided to step down from my active bartending job and move to a daytime job. I hope it will help me spend more time with my family and be able to film and engage more with all of you. Once we return from our holiday, I'll set up the studio and return to filming. I can't wait to see you all.
