Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is my friend Donna and today we're going to make some cocktails
0:05
and some little snacky-do things and just kind of like some things that you would do
0:11
you know for a party and we're going to try to make it pretty and easy because life's
0:16
too hard. You need everything to be easy. Especially cocktails. Yeah, absolutely
0:20
So why don't you go ahead and start with your drink. I don't feel like mine is, yours is much more easy
0:28
Mine has so many. That's right. Well, it's a quarantini, right? Well, I call it my quarantini because when we started quarantining, suddenly we had a run to the liquor store
0:43
That's bad. Oh my gosh, what do we have in our liquor cabinet? And we came up with this
0:48
So it's a mixture of, basically it's kind of a glorified dry martini with a little something special
0:55
so I'm making a double batch because my husband wants it why not just make a quadruple batch so
1:02
for a double batch I'm doing four shots of really good the biggest
1:09
it helps if you get the biggest bottle possible right and let it just live in the freezer
1:15
all the time so that it's ready when you are what are your feelings on Vermouth originally if you want to get into the history of martinis martinis used to be mostly vermouth with a splash of vodka
1:31
So I'm good with a large amount. That's essentially how I like my martinis. I know, other people out there
1:36
My husband, not so much. Yeah, people might think they're kind of crazy. So I'm doing a full one for two martinis
1:43
If I was making a single, I would go about half. Okay. Good, squeezable
1:48
All right. And then this is the extra. So this is the Saint Germain liquor, which is essentially an elderberry liqueur
1:58
Are there other elderberry liqueurs? Probably. That's the one you should get
2:03
Because I live by Saint Germain. I love it. Don't you wish you could bottle that and make a perfume
2:11
We should find some elderberry perfumes. I bet when I go take one of those perfume-making classes in Paris, that I can find that
2:20
You can always go back and add more later if you decide that it's not sweet enough for you
2:26
So now I'm just going to taste the goodness. Awesome. Yours is so yours
2:33
All right. And with that, that's one ounce of Saint Germain? Yes, for two drinks
2:38
But again, if you want it sweeter, go heavier candy. You can't mess up the quarantine
2:44
So um my drink is slightly easier This is my favorite thing to drink during the summer
2:56
Deep Eddie's Lemon Vodka. You have to kind of shake it. Shake it up
3:04
And it's this and some Limoncello La Croix. I love the Limoncello
3:10
Mark Lemon. Right. Because she knows about this. Mark yesterday, I said, go get me some
3:16
limoncello La Croix, please. And he's like, okay. And he comes home with lemon and I'm like
3:19
you crushed me. So this is about an ounce. Let's just do two. Because
3:28
you know what? It's two. We're just going to be happy with that
3:34
This one, there's no measuring. There's no measuring. Because it all just
3:38
tastes so tasty, tasty. And then top it with another couple ounces of limoncello. And that's it
3:44
So when you make cocktails, if you put the mixer in last, it kind of, that's not quite even
3:51
It kind of does the mixing for you so you don't really have to worry about it. Although I am a huge fan of stir sticks
3:56
I have a pile of them at my house. I love that old school little stir stick in my cocktails
4:02
All right. I want to try yours. Here. You can try mine. Tradesies. And these are the perfect martini glasses
4:09
Aren they pretty Well Cheers I also don drop them nearly as easily yeah cheers oh that is good it not bad right and this is oh yeah no and the vermouth is a nice it adds a
4:24
little bit of depth to it because the other thing you know the sens germain is really light and
4:28
floral yeah big fan i might just drink this whole thing now my hubs also did a version with gin
4:34
you can do a gin martini with the same proportions and everything but i'm i like i'm a vodka
4:40
martini person yeah i'm not a huge gin girl i got really sick on it once haven't we all it was like
4:46
you know i was 22 and it was miserable um but saint germain um in the 20s is a big thing and
4:54
it went with a lot of gin drinks because they're making tons of bathtub gin back then so um you'll
4:59
find a lot of gin drinks that have such a main minimum awesome cheers i love it cheers to you
5:04
and this and um we're gonna drink a little while and then we're gonna make some other things too for
5:11
you it's good i love that this is so summery you should totally like sit down by the pool and
5:20
drink well and i didn't even get into it but the um the limoncello on top of this turns it into
5:25
like a spritzer. Yeah. I could do that. I'm afraid if I drink all of that
5:30
I'm going to be one drunk pump. Yeah, you have to do like halfsies. That's why we need snacks now
5:35
I'm just going to go back and forth between the two
