[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Hey Guys! So there are a few corrections needed for today's video the most glaring of which is I said Lemon for the Mai Tai???? Not sure why I'd say that other than shooting this drink at the end of a very long day of making a LOT of cocktails but of course the Mai Tai gets 1oz (30ml) of LIME, not lemon. 😂 Not sure how we didn't catch this but proof watching fifty cocktails is a pretty big task. Also we forgot show the 1/2oz (15ml) Lillet in the Vesper Aaaaand last correction is 3/8 (11ml) of an ounce of lime got left out of the Pisco sour edit. Apparently we need more eyes proof watching these cocktail videos so if anyone wants to volunteer, give us a shout! Cheers! Leandro

[@miguelgarcia03]

jajajaja

[@DB-ei6wr]

Thank you so much for such an absolutely entertaining and informative video.

[@OrenNoah]

I noticed those errors. Are you serious about a volunteer “proofwatcher”? I’m available.

[@philips3236]

With all due respect the most glaring error is pumping up that music at the end of every single cocktail. It's kind of insane to do that 50 times over a video.

[@Seouljohn2]

@@OrenNoah i could be a proof drinker.

[@Take0utTheStake0ut]

The amount of work you had to put in to make this video, not to mention the pricetag, is honorable.

[@upper90glory]

As a young-ish person, it took me a long time to realize what "call" drinks are. This concept is not talked about enough! I feel like most young people (aged in their 20's) don't yet realize you can order drinks that aren't listed on the menu. If you want a negroni, and it's not on the menu, ask if they can make you one! They probably will!

[@mikanchan322]

You can order drinks that aren't on the menu?? (I have never had a cocktail in my life)

[@nicholasgraves3149]

@@mikanchan322 Most of the classic drinks are 3-4 ingredient drinks that are made with ingredients that are already stocked at the bar for whatever "signature" drinks the bar has on the menu. What bar doesn't have base spirits, vermouth, lime/lemon, and syrup? You're like 3/4ths the way there with just that alone.

[@NoorSkullz]

tried doing this before with a old fashioned and they served it to me in a half pint glass and used jack danies, man I hate when pubs do this its why I just go for a beer or cider.

[@jameswright4236]

@@NoorSkullz trouble is that most pubs in the UK don't have a dedicated list of cocktails apart from the most popular ones, such as the Pornstar or Espresso Martini. Also, a lot of places won't always have the ingredients owing to licensing laws such as absinthe or different fortified wines like sweet vermouth or Lillet.

[@marvinstrand7051]

@@NoorSkullz that's your own fault, then. Let the bar do what the bar does.

[@courtneylane2699]

It's crazy to me how much the daiquiri has evolved. 9 times out of 10 when people mention a daiquiri they do not mean a three-part cocktail, they are referring to a frozen, strawberry-flavored drink. That's wild

[@214bands8]

That’s a big cultural difference in America, frozen daquiris to go on every corner 💀

[@brianloper6669]

Is this why I’ve literally been told “you don’t want that” with a Jedi type hand wave when I ordered it? I even said classic just to make it clear. Got the hell outta that place quick

[@heres.ray64]

I told my cocktail waitress that I made my first daiquiri after working at this bar for 7 months, and she flat out said "how did you make a daiquiri, we don't have a blender", she assumed the strawberry slushy was a standard daiquiri

[@chrismarsden6633]

@@214bands8 that is literally only in Nola

[@abeasoyr]

It's quite annoying I have to specify, every single time, that I want the "standard one, no strawberry, no frozen". Sometimes, when I feel particularly bad, I don't add anything, I pretend to look somewhere else while it gets made, and then I "show surprise" to what the bartender gives me and I go: "I didn't say strawberry, I meant classic", and he has to make it again.

"8 to 6 mint leaves", that must've been one of the last drinks of the day. Great video!

[@ericm1839]

I think thats one of the difficulties of making a video with specific recepies instead of just making the drinks. The "real" recepie calls for a fistful of mint leaves

Also, who is drinking all of these?!?

Great video, as a professional bartender myself it's cool to see the differences in specs across the globe. The thing that stands out to me is that over here in Europe, Belgium more specifically, a lot of the drinks use less sugar / simple syrup and more acidity. I often looked at the recipes calling for 22ml lemon and 22ml simple and went "huh, interesting, we use 30ml lemon and 20-22ml simple". Interesting stuff! I'll try out the sweeter versions when I'm back behind the bar

[@kevlon_]

True. Some of these specs are a little different from what I'd do at work, the Martini has A LOT of Vermouth for example. And the techniques and presentations are different here and there, but this is absolutely a great video/list for anyone getting into cocktails either at home or as a profession.

[@damienkilcannonvryce]

Amazing video. I’m happy to say I employ most of these at my London bar. 🙌🏽 And your vid as a reference is a great training tool for my staff 🔥🔥

It’s nice to see a Mai Tai made correctly. Even in some tiki bars it’s bastardized with fruit juices and an ovenproof float.

[@LetsLvl_Up]

Is it lemon juice or lime juice? He said Lemon Juice but ended putting Lime Juice in the recipe at the end

[@SanTM]

Because of you, Steve and Greg I've been making cocktails at home for over two years now (since pandemic started basically). I've basically taken something all 3 of you to my own skills and found my own style. Also, did you and Marius drink all of these drinks in the end?

[@jellez280]

Woww that's very similar to what I did. I have a question for you: how do you keep track of the cocktails you want to keep making with so much 'input'. I've tried keeping a list, but it's not really working. Or is you're memory just very good? I have the problem of falling back on the same 3/4 simple cocktails when I'm mixing at home, although I know there's so much more out there, but I just don't know how to keep track. Looking forward to you're answers:)

This is quite the labor of love! Thanks for this!

[@luizleandrog]

Great video! But in Brazil traditionally the caipirinha isn't shaken, but only muddled: add the lime wedges, add two bar spoons of sugar, muddle, add ice, add cachaça, stir a little and that's it. Caipira means "hick", so caipirinha is "little hick".

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

yeah im aware. This was a creative choice on my part

[@Seanewhite984]

I've moved from an Old Fashioned being my favorite drink, to a Sazerac, and now to the Improved Whiskey Cocktail. My only issue is I have yet to go to a bar where I can just order one, without having to pull up a recipe to show them what it is. I've always thought part of the problem is the name...it needs a catchier name to break into the mainstream, I feel like!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

I mean it is a pretty obscure classic so I’m really not surprised that it is hard to order. As for the catchier name…you got your work cut out for you! 😂

[@bp3986]

Sean, I went through the same progression. I rarely make old fashioneds at home anymore. My wife and I both prefer the IWC

[@Seanewhite984]

I still tend to do Old Fashioneds or Sazeracs at home, but that’s mainly just because I haven’t gotten around to getting a bottle of Maraschino yet!

[@neoyankee]

Only 6 minutes in and that is a lot of drinks, I wonder how long did it take to film all that?

[@daniel.lopresti]

But more important, where did all that booze end up? ;)

[@neoyankee]

@@daniel.lopresti Yeah, that's why I think it did a long time to make, don't think they would throw away all that, so they most likely made like 5 or 10 per day

Fantastic video. Tons of work. Thanks for doing it!

[@caioesteves1520]

11:44 OMG as a brazilian i’m SO happy to see caipirinha here! the video is AMAZING but just wanted to make a few corrections: caipirinha translates to “little countryside pearson”! and the really traditional caipirinha is done in one glass! using just the lime and the granulated sugar to muddle in order to extract the oils from the peel. then you add crackled ice and on top the cachaca, mixing it from the bottom to the top!

[@SeansTipsnSips]

Hey there’s a cocktail I reckon you’ll enjoy making. It’s called the Japanese Slipper, and its a 3 ingredient, equal cocktail. It’s 30ml midori, 30ml Cointreau, and 30 ml lemon juice. Shaken with ice, and strained into a nick and Nora glass, garnished with maraschino cherry

[@MikkelGregersen]

You have a great combination for every drinks and i like it.

[@RileyTech]

Having spent three years perfecting the mojito and two years creating my own signature drink with mint, I've discovered that shaking the mint brings out an unpleasant bitter taste. Over-muddling can achieve the same effect. You should be muddling just enough to get all of the juice out of the limes. Adding more mint helps strengthen the mint flavor without needing to over-muddle. I also like to use a 3/2 ratio of white rum to dark rum for a little added complexity, and using demurara or turbinado sugar makes a HUGE difference.

[@MixingUpTiki]

Amazing video for anyone looking to get into cocktails.

[@HarlonRodriguez-dq1qc]

Great video! Just and advice on the Mojito. Don’t take just the leaves. Throw two steams with the leaves two parts of lime then add 10 ml lime juice and smash it in the glass. Add 45 to 60 ml depending on the type of high ball glass you have (8onz will be the best glass) and stir everything. Then add ice, not crushed, and fill the Mojito with Sprite and stir again before garnish. And yes you read well, Sprite. Am 27 and I’ve been making mojitos since I was 15. That’s the best option. Also if you don’t have the Sprite and just have sparkling water just add 1 and a half spoons of white sugar before adding the pieces of lime. Just try it.
