VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Welcome to the Sunday night shooter’s edition of common man cocktails. I'm our host Derrick Shommer. Today we’re going to create the American Dream. This recipe was submitted by Clad-up. I think I'm saying that right because it's just a bunch of letters to me. Clad-up gave me this recipe. It's got ¼ ounce of everything. So we’re going to use dark cr?me de coco, kahlua, we've got amaretto, we've got Frangelico again and that’s it. So let’s get going. I forgot from fratboys.com, these guys sent me this because they like the show and they wanted to send some stuff over. So this was really neat. I've been talking these little frozen shot glasses. Now, what you do is you fill it water obviously and then you throw the top on like that, it kelps the mold. Throw them in the freezer for four hours and you’ve got yourself a shot glass. Now, it only holds ½ ounce. So, that could be a problem. So what I did and they’re melting because there are lights. And so what I did is I just have two. Now they have little plastic casing on them and you—I've tested this because I was playing with this before because there is a stack of like I don’t want to hear and they’re like 18. 24 of these things, I got 24 of these things downstairs, all in the freezer. Something crazy and obnoxious and so what I did is I figured out how to come out, if you just run them over a water for a little bit. They start to loosen up. You could take them out if you want to serve them full in ice. You're just going to realize that when you take the shot, you get to put it away. So I'm going to leave them in the plastic casing just for fun because it's probably easier to drink that way. But it stays chilled. So what I'm going to do because I need all the equipment is I'm going to mix the cocktail, shake it with ice. Pour them in these ice little guys here. We’re going to do ¼ ounce. So there is not really that much but since there is four different alcohols, it should make a nice little drink. If we have than enough, it should be an ounce full because there are four of them. There is ¼ ounce so you should end up with an ounce or fill both of these. If science has proven to tell me the right things, this doesn’t seem like an ounce because there is so little. I smell the hazelnut now. Hazelnut and chocolate with a little coffee liqueur and little more almonds, this is going to be a nutty little American dream. Maybe they could have called it the nutty American dream. I don’t know what makes it American. Americans like nuts because we have nut trees or whatever they grow on. If you know where nuts are growing, let me know. So we’re going to shake that up. Just a little small on there but it will be nice and chilly. So, we’re going to make two of these micro shots, looks kind of like a dark beer. It makes a little more than I thought. That’s physics messing with you. So, it's kind of slushy. What you can't see but you’ve already seen it's made. It's got that like dark and brown color. It smells like crazy amounts of nuts. Nice, ready? Check this out, now that tat’s melted a little you have your actual shot glass right there, that’s pretty cool. So you could fill that up again, you can use it maybe one or two more times. It's just cool but it is definitely good for summer time probably. And you know what, beside the fact that it's dripping on my hand, you can eat this. It tastes like sweet coffee like if you had coffee but you put too much sugar in there, this thing is melting. It's like hazelnut coffee meets a little almond flavor. It's exactly what you think you’d expect from this, little chocolate but I think the chocolate gets confused with the peanut like the hazelnut, almost getting like a chocolate-y peanut, maybe like a peanut chocolate stuff. It's very good, definitely a neat little shot if you're into the coffee-ish type flavors. If you like Frangelico, you like amaretto and of course kahlua and cr?me de coco, who doesn’t like that? So there you go, that was the recipe for the Sunday night shooter but I don’t want to end just yet. I want to make sure I get my comment in now that I've covered this in water and melting this. Rick Preslyn, he’s from hellovino.com. Rick writes the video podcast is the perfect link and Derrick is a great host. He gets right into the recipe and the drinks always look perfect. The ingredient list at the end of the videos is also very helpful of course. Keep it going! And that’s been a year since now. We’re keeping it going and we’re going to you know just keep going over and over, even make a new show. Check out alcoholsbyvolume.com for our new sin-off show.
