  Speaker 4: This is the Hugo Spritzer.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: This is the Saint Elder Elderflower liquor. New packaging. Actually
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: little number right here, very florals. Gina mentioned a lot
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: of just beautiful perfume aromatics, very floral. I wouldn't blame
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: you if you took a little bit of this, tapped
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: it behind your neck and on your wrists. It's that
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: perfumeing it is. It's a nice twenty percent alcohol by volume.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Fire call correctly here, I'll take a look yet twenty
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: percent or forty proof, and then we floated it with
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: a bit of prosecco. One of my favorite bubblies out
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: of Italy. This is a Dommies Bosca, the Geeka. This
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: is a fantastic out of the Velderbiadini winegord region. It's
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: only like twenty bucks itself, twenty two bucks, but I
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: just love a spritzer. You know, in the morning, it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: a very refreshing daytime mourning beverrinch. And you know when
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you have brunch, if you have folks coming over Sunday
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: brunch as the weather's winding down. This is a little
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: It's not as sharp as some spirits or is bitter.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: It's a bit more floral, bit more round, a little
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: bit off dryness happening here on your palate, complimented with
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: some mint in line. No sprits can be a little sharp,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: not to put you on the spot.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: But why is who is Hugo? Why is it called
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the Huge?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: This is a bartender out of Italy and this is
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: similar to the Valachina if I recall correctly, similar cocktail
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: to that where Hugo added the mint and lime for this.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, I'm a little congested. I don't know if
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: you can hear it. But the Hugo sprits what I
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: foregoed on this though, was soda water classic apertivo sprits.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Actually both, yeah, you have both double bubbly and my
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: opinion on why that happened although I cannot find this,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: but as being a hospitality professional, well sometimes what happens
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: in a restaurant or bar to your your sparkling wine.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: The next day or two days later, you go, so
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: you still got the beautiful flavor, but the bubbles are gone.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So you got yeah, yeah, that's an opinion.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Your speculations.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I bet it's right. It just seems unnecessary, you know.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I get rid of this delicious bubblely but
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: this is this is good?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So the now this is the elderflower. What is it?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Sat? Elder elderflower. This is from the States, all natural ingredients.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: They do a really good job with the preparation of
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: this product.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: A Boston family.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's out of Boston. It's MS Walker. They're a
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: natural distributor. They've been distributing alcohol, uh since before Prohibition
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: and during that south side of Boston. Yeah, it's great family.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Brian over there, you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Said that I I have, you know, I drink old
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Forest or a bourbon. But I've never really taken time
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to look look at the label and it says it
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was a America's first bottled.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Whiskey before and during Prohibition.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It was so it was sold They allowed them to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: sell it during prohibition as because it was a medicine.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's my medicine, right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I've always called it old medicine.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Medicine.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Now, this is what's kind of an embarrassment of riches
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: because you can have your choice of elderflower liqueurs right there.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: There's more than one there is.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: There's a classic one that comes in at quite a
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: higher price than this. This is for twenty two bucks.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: So that's the one you want. This is the one
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: you want.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It does the job American made right here. MS Walker
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: is the distributor out of Boston, local broker bringing this
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: in fighting tooth and claw, making sure it's listed for
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: you on the shelves here in the state. Whether you're
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: a bar, this is the one you want to go with.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: But at home, I love this stuff. I've got the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: original bottle. It was a bit more decorative, but I
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: like this slender and sleek like this. I really like
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the label. Yeah, the label is really quite nice. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: what are some other drinks you can do with? Yeah,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: so you know, if you want to do spruce up
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: of French seventy five, this goes really well with that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: So a little gin, you know, all the aromatics and
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: botanicals of a gin, and this with sparkling wine also
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: go really well together. And that's kind of my go
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: to one that I really like with Elder Saint Elder elderflower.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Of the course, my wife likes one and I can't
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: think of what it's called, but I think it's got
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: grapefruit juice and elderflower liqueur.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Sounds delicious. You know, the acidity, what you want to
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: add to this is some good acidity, and that's where
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: the lime comes in. With this. You have acid from
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: your sparkling wine that's very acidic to bubbles. The carbonic
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: nature of it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: That's what it is. It's a prosecco.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Grapefruit juice and elderflower. Sounds fantastic. It'll this is your
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: new brunch cocktail for go mimosa. You kick it up
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: a notch and you can even add a little bit
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: more boost to it should you wish. But this is
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: very pleasant at eight am, so absolutely yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but mimosas are for chumps.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Child's play.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: My seventeen year old son Mohammed, Yes, had a question.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Ah, very good.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: He saw somewhere where the word proof comes from proof.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's a proof off of the alcohol spirit off
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: the still. There's a barometer there, there's a flotation device
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: that tells you the amount of alcohol.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: And it's the proof.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You're proving the spirit's range of alcohol that's in there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But is there a story about why it's called the proof?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: So there's a proof box. There is this box in
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: England that the taxman would come by and he would
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: see and it would measure your your proving that you
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: have alcohol. It's not water, it's not water or that
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: right that you are. In fact, it's a taxation thing.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: It all comes down to the government tax tax man.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: But that's roughly the story behind it. Yeah, great question,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: that's a good question.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: This is where my family talks about it at the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: dinner table.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And then you have to slap his hand and say, no,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you're not old enough for mommy's drink question for Jimmy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: We're headed to Bologna to see radio Head in November.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: We aren't really wine people, more tequila and vodka. Can
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: you give us some lighter wines, less robust that we
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: can order. Sure, some Italian cocktails maybe that we.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Want to, Yeah, new Groni, although that might be kind

  Speaker 4: be some lighter bodied red wines look for with a
• 8:03
