How to Make the Van Vleet Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"I'm going to show you how to make a cocktail called the Van Vleet. Go ahead and try and say that ten times fast. We're going to start off with our ice. Pour that into your glass like so. We're going to add to that three ounces of light rum. What I'm using to help me pour here is called a jigger. That's j-i-g-g-e-r. You can get this at a bar supply store or liquor store and it's a really great handy little tool. Its got one ounce on this side and a half ounce on the other side. So, that was three ounces of light rum, then I'm going to add in about an ounce of maple syrup. Yum-yum-yum! Love this stuff and one ounce of lemon juice. Now I recommend if you are throwing a cocktail party, invest in one of these otherwise you will be squeezing lemons all night instead of enjoying your party. Go ahead and shake that up. I'm going to pour this into a rocks glass just like so. Go ahead and put in your stirry straw and there you have it, a Van Vleet. Cheers!"
