00:00If I'm going to host something, say, a Labor Day soiree, if you will, what is our first
00:11cocktail that you're going to make?
00:12Our first cocktail is a sugarless summer sangria.
00:15Okay.
00:16And it has some great ingredients.
00:17I have a Moscato, I have a herb-infused mango Ciroc, Prosecco to top it off with, some mango
00:23nectar, fresh lemon juice, pineapple, and some fresh fruits.
00:27So the first step is I'm going to grab a pitcher, I'm going to add my mango puree, then I have
00:31an herb-infused mango Ciroc vodka.
00:34I've added sage, basil, thyme, oregano, I let it sit for a few days, and then strain out
00:40the herbs.
00:41So I'm going to add my Ciroc.
00:42George, you're a little heavy-handed there.
00:44A little heavy-handed.
00:45And I'm going to add my Moscato, a little bit of lime juice, and then some pineapple.
00:50You cook like my father, a little splash, a little dab.
00:53Some love.
00:54I like serving this in a wine glass.
00:57A little ice.
00:58A little ice.
01:01Add my pre-batch sangria to it.
01:03The fresh fruits on top.
01:05Oh.
01:06So like I said, the sweetness is only coming from the Moscato, the nectar that I cooked
01:10down, and the pineapple juice.
01:12Now I'm going to pass this one off to Kayla first while I get mine.
01:20Kayla?
01:21So good.
01:22I'm a big fan of sangria, and I've never seen it done like this with the herbs.
01:26It's everything.
01:27What's our next cocktail?
01:28Our next cocktail is a mixed berry mojito.
01:32So it's going to be a lot of fun.
01:33We have blackberries, strawberries, lime, and some mint.
01:36I also have some infused simple syrup, some light rum, topped off with soda water.
01:41All right, so let's get started.
01:42Let's get started.
01:43I'm taking about a half of a lime, so four lime wedges.
01:47I'm going to take a bunch of sprigs of mint, drop them right in there.
01:51I'm also going to grab some strawberries and some blackberries.
01:56And notice I'm also adding it before I add any liquid.
02:00And I'm going to muddle these all together.
02:02Then I'm going to take two ounces of some light rum, half an ounce of my basil-infused simple
02:09syrup, add some ice, and I'm just going to give it a good shake.
02:21Top it off with some soda water to cut the sweetness.
02:23I take a big mint sprig, pop that on top.
02:27Okay, Kayla, so here's yours.
02:28Woo-hoo!
02:29I'm excited!
02:30George hooked a sister up.
02:31You got mine right here.
02:32Look at you already sipping without me.
02:34I couldn't wait for you, sorry.
02:35You are so shady.
02:36Let me think.
02:37So good.
02:38Ooh, I like this.
02:39Good.
02:40It's a nice twist on a mojito.
02:41It's fresh.
02:42All right, George.
02:43You're two for two.
02:44Awesome.
02:45What's our third and final cocktail?
02:46Our third cocktail is a coconut Ciroc sparkler.
02:49Ciroc coconut, pineapple or coconut soda, a lime, and some sweet coconut.
02:55All right.
02:56So I'm going to torch my coconut just to give it some smoke.
02:58Fire.
02:59It's going to turn a little bit black, but I don't want them to burn, so I'm just
03:03lighting them up.
03:04Mm-hmm.
03:05And I'm going to get them nice and toasty.
03:06This is like burnt rice.
03:07Almost like burnt rice.
03:08You burn your rice?
03:09Now I'm from Louisiana.
03:10We don't burn rice.
03:11That's a whole another segment.
03:12So if you don't have a torch at home, and I feel like everybody needs a torch, how can
03:17you execute this?
03:18You can cook them on the stove top, making sure they keep stirring them so that they
03:21don't stick.
03:22It's like a quick flash saute moment, right?
03:23Quick flash saute, good to go.
03:24I'm going to do two ounces of my coconut Ciroc.
03:27Now I'm going to add my spoon to the bottom of the glass, and I'm going to pour my pineapple
03:34soda down the spoon.
03:36Why down the spoon?
03:37It just makes it look cool.
03:39Showing off is what you're saying.
03:40Yeah, pretty much.
03:41George is showing off at the barbecue.
03:42So it's a nice little technique you can show for your friends.
03:45Can I use this to impress a guy?
03:47You most definitely can.
03:48Kayla, note it.
03:49So now I'm going to take my sweet coconut.
03:51I'm going to top it off.
03:52Ooh.
03:53Garnish it with a lime.
03:58Simple.
03:59This is my favorite.
04:00It's simple.
04:01It's easy.
04:02No, this is my favorite.
04:03Hope you guys enjoyed these drinks.
04:04We did, thank you.
04:05Have a great time.
