How to Make the Go for Broke Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"This cocktail is called Go for Broke, it's kind of a variation of a martini, it has gin and dry vermouth with a little bit of triple sec and a little bit of bitters. Let's get started. We're going to have our cocktail martini glass chilled, ready to go off to the side. Let's take our shaker, fill it with ice. Now the recipe calls for one part of the dry vermouth and one part of the gin. Now given the size of your glassware, of course, you're going to try to figure out how much of whatever product you should use. We've got a pretty sizable martini glass here, I'm going to use an ounce and a half of each of the ingredients. Start with our gin, and we'll use our jigger here to help us pour. That's one ounce on one side and a half ounce on the other. And then our dry vermouth, one ounce on one side, and half ounce on the other. Now we need just a splash of triple sec and a splash of bitters. Lets get a little splash of that triple sec, triple sec is an orange liqueur, should give it a little bit of a flavor to it. And bitters, which you can pick up at a supermarket. It's not bitter tasting, bitters stands for the category for which the product is made, the ingredients involved with it. So whenever you hear 'bitters,' don't let it scare ya. Give it a nice good shake. There we go, it's got an interesting color to it. Dump out our water, and here we go. There you go, that's a good pour, look at that. Nice refreshing looking cocktail, Go for Broke. Enjoy."
