How to make a pousse cafe
Adventures Of A Black Belt Sommelier
My recipe for the coolest cocktail ever
Well, welcome back to adventures of the black belt simile back in my early days in this industry. This strength used to be like the you had to be able to make this strength in order to be considered one of the cool guys. This is this is part of this had to be part of your repertoire to be considered a really excellent bartender. It's called a Puskefe. I don't remember the last time I saw somebody make one. I'm sure it's decades. I don't remember the last time I heard anybody even refer to a Puskefe. But this is a really cool drink and it's not hard to make. Mostly it just requires a steady hand and patience. So you chill a shot glass. So the glass is cold and then you show the ingredients. So everything's cold. And the first thing you do is pour into the shot glass grenadine that will fill the shot glass one fourth. And then you start adding the other ingredients. And what you do is you hold a spoon over the glass and pour the other ingredients over the back of the spoon very slowly into the shot glass in reverse order of the ingredients specific gravity so that they layer. So in the bottom you put grenadine. The next one fourth you add sambuca. So you've red and then black. Very slowly add the sambuca so that it layers. And then green crediment. So then so you've got red, black, green. And then you add quantra. And green is all need to be cold. The shot glass needs to be cold. And even if at first they don't exactly layer because of the specific gravity they will eventually separate in layer red, black, green, white. And then you can actually do this in advance. Put them on a plate or a tray or something. Put them in the refrigerator. And when your guests arrive you just bring them out and you serve this drink that's you know four colors later in the glass. It's a really really cool thing. It's really cool effect. It's not hard. It just requires that you have a steady hand and pour very slowly so that the ingredients layer in the glass. And even if they don't at first layer in the glass they will because of the different specific gravity of the four ingredients. Try it out. It's really fun. And it'll really blow your guests minds when you serve them this strength. You know at some point in the evening maybe as they arrived just as a welcome here. You have a Puskefe, P-O-U-S-S-E-C-A-F-E. And you can be considered one of the great bartenders anywhere. Thanks for joining us at Adventures of a Bike Belt Summit. We appreciate your time and attention
