How to Make the Grand Slam Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"This cocktail is called the Grand Slam. Now, it involves a citrus rum with dry and sweet vermouth. We're going to make this in a cocktail glass, which we have chilling with some ice and water, ready to go. Let's grab our shaker glass. It doesn't want to cooperate. Fill that with ice. We're going to need two parts of our citrus rum and then one part of the dry and sweet vermouth, so let's go for two ounces of the citrus rum and one ounce of the other. I'm going to use my jigger here to pour this. This is a one ounce half ounce jigger, so we're going to use twice; two times on the one ounce side, one and two. And then we're going to free pour. If you want to know how to free pour I like using a one count per quarter ounce, so we're going to use a four count on a one ounce pour, one, two, three, four. Of course, it helps if the liquid is actually coming out of the bottle, one, two, three, four. Yeah, that's close enough. All right, good. Now, let's give this a good shake. I'm not sure where the name Grand Slam came from. Perhaps this is a good cocktail to enjoy during a tennis match or something. Let's dump that out. And take a look at that. That's a lovely color there. Or this could be a baseball cocktail, right? Hit this one out of the park. Grand Slam, enjoy!"
