Amaretto Sour | How to Drink

[@joncalvert4690]

"I don't care about how to make a drink or how it looks" proceeds to kick ass as a bartender. Probably my new favorite channel.

[@howtodrink]

Man, thank you, means a lot to me!

[@joncalvert4690]

How To Drink NP man, the quality of the video, with its cuts and slow close ups is something to adore, and you just flow through the subject and put a lot of love in it. when I get home I'm learning how to make drinks off you.

[@Leonar12345]

the quality of videos is over the top. don't stop, this has too much potential to stop

[@jewlena]

He listened!

[@clovertx901]

Aged well

[@juliankerr6689]

You make your drinks looks so appealing but what really makes me want to try them is your reactions after drinking them.

[@XxWhIpLaSh18xX]

I just want to be your friend. You seem like you'd be a good guy to just kick back with. Awesome video, as always.

[@SchizmKing]

Speaking from personal experience of being a Greg. We're just awesome people 😏😂

[@TheARJ15]

god i love amaretto sours, even simple ones you get out at bars without egg white are so damn delicious

[@macstrong1284]

I’ve never had one with egg whites is it better?

[@R1D1CK69]

gosh bro.... its day and night trust me @@macstrong1284

[@Averageautismenjoyer]

@@macstrong1284I’ve only had them without egg whites and when it’s made right it’s delicious. I imagine it’s just less frothy.

[@Chin1701]

This recipe is genuinely one of the best cocktails I've ever made. He isn't lying about how good it is! Thanks so much! I love this channel so much.

[@howtodrink]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Lastmanonearth]

Gotta say, ive been watching basically all of your videos since i discovered you last night and boy oh boy...everything is done so well. The quality of literally everything down to the music choice is top notch. So well done, man. please continue...until you run out of cocktails to make. then just keep going anyway.

[@rodmund83]

I just made this to use up the last dregs from a bottle of dissarono that's been at the back of the shelf for a very long time and it was THE BOMB!! Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Great video!! Keen to see more (just subscribed)...

[@MrBumperJumper]

Just got into mixing cocktails and heard about the amaretto sour from a co-worker. Recreated a recipe i found on the internet and cut back the simple syrup. Damn! What a delicious drink!! Great dude, amazing quality, good recipes. Cheers from Austria

[@nikki2giovi]

I love that you're so natural :) this is one of my favorite channels

[@MangetsuSAMURAI]

I want one of these SO BAD RIGHT NOW.

[@willsmiths12289]

I really appreciate what you do here. Been trying to make all your drinks, never knew egg whites added so much to a drink. Keep making videos, you will make it in no time.

[@Lowfar]

I love your stuff, thank you for your craftsmanship!

[@damongagnon6838]

Watched the episode, and before it finished I made one minus the egg white (no shaker) and I gotta say, this is fantastic. Especially for someone who doesn't drink whiskey. Props to you my guy.

[@macstrong1284]

Have you tried with the egg? Is it better?

[@GearNox]

Aaaye finally some CL action! Great work man, your cocktail choices has been spot on!

[@thomasgaffney7282]

Once again, the best bits are after the ingredients list. Amazing channel, picking up some amaretto this arvi. Cheers!

[@edkrassenstein5534]

I love this channel. Keep up the good work and the popularity will come with time. The production value is top notch

[@RabbitsInBlack]

I think that was the first time I've seen someone drink up the whole drink when after showing how it's made.

[@SAVATECO]

First drink I ever got to order at a bar and by accident. Still my favorite till this day.

[@wingedlausen]

Combing through your entire profile has been so great Greg, Thank you.

[@jonathanleiman1956]

So, I just discovered your channel and binge watched the whole damn thing. Love the channel and the no-nonsense attitude. Keep up the great work, Greg! Only problem now is I am very thirsty...

[@howtodrink]

Jonathan Leiman thanks for watching! I usually release a new episode once a week so I hope you'll stick around.

[@wetzles]

Nice little riff is to switch the rich simple with raspberry syrup and a couple dashes of orange bitters after pouring the drink in the glass.

[@timkarlsson1750]

one of my favourite cocktails, the bartender at my favourite pub/bar recomended it to me when I couldn't decide what I wanted.

[@asyncawaited]

Please keep making videos. It's not every day you see someone break through with the type of quality and entertainment you have.

[@howtodrink]

Matthew Sweet thank you for saying so! New episodes are on the way, very very soon.

[@asyncawaited]

Might I recommend some trench coats and Tommy guns?

[@me3moo2]

My absolute favorite drink

[@MrSth77]

just found this channel and watched all of the videos in one day. so much production value, I love it. Can you make a video on the different bar tools you have? (and maybe rank their importance)

[@RealBenShapiro]

My first ever and favorite cocktail

[@Irish_Pub]

This is my FAVORITE drink by far.

[@fastovich]

Awesome! Really enjoy watching the reaction to the cocktails at the end of the video. I use the same method of dry shake, followed by wet shake. I find the metal strainer bit adds little, except more cleaning.

[@howtodrink]

Geoff Fast thanks for watching! My understanding is that ice size actually has a really large effect on the shake, and that using big cubes like I do might be why I find things like reverse dry shaking, or using a Hawthorne coil, to be less important.

[@harrisongraymiller]

Great videos! Love the passion and professionalism

[@howtodrink]

Harrison Miller thank you!

[@Batidodeguineo]

Bien! Eres de los pocos que prueban sus bebidas!

[@jonathanpepper9743]

I made this drink last weekend for my girlfriend. It was absolutely fantastic. Greg recipe Greg! Thanks for showing us all how it's done!

[@ATLBLACKLION]

Ok great video! You turned a classic boring cocktail into a 'must try' for me. I'm definitely going to make this at home first then for a customer,soon. Keep showing us "How To Drink" bro

[@howtodrink]

Well I appreciate the accolades here, but the recipe is Jeffrey Morganthaler's, not mine. I do thank you very heartily for watching and hope you'll keep doing so!

[@TheVinny360]

I haven’t seen your show in fooor ever I haven’t been notified I remember when u was under 1 mil subs an I still love ur stuff 😮

[@BuiltInOfficial]

looking fancy with those speed ramps

[@howtodrink]

Built In that's a nice thing about making this myself, sometimes I feel like going that route, sometimes it's jump cuts, sometimes it's just uncomfortable long stares into the lens, there's no post-supervisor telling me to change the cut

[@eberbacher007]

love the videos, I have yet to make an Amaretto sour, but I only have abottle of cheap amaretto that is mostly used in making Tiramisu

[@KikaNinja]

Wanted to make something of my fine amaretto. Wasn't disappointed. Thank you!

[@NuxBartender]

Seems u really like it :p That felt so natural ahah ! Loved it !

[@howtodrink]

It was natural!

[@jamilshekinski]

As natural as Pamela Anderson's lips !))

[@Eshajori]

Hey guys! Three things: 1) I love your channel. It's very simple and casual while somehow being presented in a very professional way. That's a perfect balance. Plus booze, which is more than any one man could ask for. Great job. 2) I liked the old set far better. Not that it matters that much - I'm one person and it certainly won't stop me from watching your videos. But I felt it was less cluttered and distracting. This one tries to draw my eyes away from Greg and the subject matter. Intro is much better though! 3) Could you guys do some Hawaiian/Caribbean cocktails some time? Maybe a Lava Flow? Tropical drinks filled with rum are my favorites. Keep being awesome.

[@howtodrink]

Very much appreciate your feedback! The old "set" was legitimately my living room, and it's small and hot and miserable and now partially occupied by my six month old daughter and all her stuff everywhere to boot, so the time had come at last for the show to move out of my apartment. Also out of necessity the set will change from season to season as well now, simply because I won't be able to recreate it identically each time, so you may get your wish! As to the Tiki drinks, I love love love a good Tiki drink. To be really candid I had plans to shoot an whole series of episodes as part of season 2 focused entirely on Tiki, but we ran short of time for a few reasons and I had to cut it down to two episodes, the Mai Tai: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3q0p6yEorp_jJI and the Fog Cutter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6mnpZqkesaMd8k I intend to very fully explore Tiki drinks down the road. Hopefully in season 4. Thank you so much for watching!

[@madelineclare1]

Idea! Instead of taking the spring off the strainer you could use a protein shaker ball!!

[@Briathos1]

I enjoy all of the episodes, make more. When you run out of drinks to make, start coming up with your own. Thanks

[@BabiestSnow]

I love how he’s just mesmerized by the flavor 😂

[@AlbinoMuntjac]

Thanks for the great video although I hate you a little as it's because of this video I spent most of Christmas Eve making these. I showed my fiancée the video, she loved it, and immediately gathered all the ingredients so I could make them for the family. They were a huge hit and much easier than I expected.

[@chesterwillger7017]

I JUST made this drink. Holy Schmitt is it good! Whisky sour is next Thanks Greg my Monday will be interesting 😂

[@dazzbass2226]

Can't get enough, keep it up man

[@uptown3636]

Great channel! Thanks for taking the time to make good videos about well-made cocktails. Just subscribed, and I'll be back for another round of videos soon.

[@Zyzz69420]

Tried the Ramos gin fizz today and that was amazing, this has to be next as I have all the ingredients already.

[@howtodrink]

Chris glad to hear it! The Ramos really is an amazing drink

[@garlicgirl3149]

Yeah....you did have a "GOOD time" making that drink! LOOOOOOOL!

[@Urotsukidoji1]

ok, just made this, it was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@howtodrink]

Urotsukidoji1 glad to hear it! Jeffrey Morgenthaler came up with a damn fine one here, glad to be able to share it with you!

[@synthvault]

Ground nutmeg is a habit worth starting. Would have been a perfect match for this one. GREAT videos!!! I will be trying this drink for sure.

[@howtodrink]

Thank you! I never considered fresh nutmeg on this but now that you mention that is a really neat idea... I do love some fresh nutmeg on a drink though, actually, word to the wise, you might wanna take a look on Monday for a drink that features it heavily...

[@ZohebMalik]

God Lord what a delicious drink. Thank you brother!!

[@s.c9794]

Nice Video as always...and nice skx on your wrist too!

[@howtodrink]

S.C thanks on both accounts! I do love my skx, cheapest not-crap diver you can get. I got the band from an Etsy shop, Shkira I think.

[@slith589]

Love your videos. keep it up!

[@WhambamthankyouLam]

Your videos are funny and very easy to watch a lot of!

[@howtodrink]

That's my goal, thank you!

[@mattjanzen2344]

No shame at the end. This is one of my favorites. Though I usually go with rye and equalize the ratio with amaretto.

[@BassBoy0081]

Still my favorite video due to how much it seems you enjoyed this drink and the cherries 😂

[@JayveeFernandez]

yay a sponsorship! good on you. keep it up!

[@ShaunHull1775]

This was an amazing drink. FYI. Thanks for sharing. Even if it was a while back

[@alexanderJanku]

DAMN IT GREG! You made me go out and learn to make Amaretto!

[@JackDraz]

God im so glad this is back. :D

[@414trigga]

This is literally the only channel I have the notifications turned on. I just want to know where you get your apron from lol

[@howtodrink]

Jeffery Hunt thank you for enjoying the show! It was quite a while ago I got that apron, but I'm 99% sure it's this : Chef Works Memphis Bib Apron (AB035) www.amazon.com/dp/B00J98CQ7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SEyuybCB5X1KG I have been considering upgrading to a new one though...

[@bradymcphail9690]

Yeah just recently had this drink for the first time and had the same reaction. Been on a quest for the perfect recipe since. By your reaction I may have found it! , it may be the brand of amaretto that made my first amaretto sour so memorable as well. It seemed thicker, richter and creamier.

[@jordyplantenbak3241]

I see you making this drink and i feel ashamed of how we make it at the bar i work! We.are definitely a quantity over quality bar haha

[@noviz13]

Love these! You just made me want one!

[@ndewingful]

Just a suggestion, but I've used a protein shaker ball (steel spring ball) and that has worked very well in the past for this exact thing.

[@ShaiBarzel]

An amazing drink, try to replace the Bourbon with some smoky Scotch, really adds depth to the cocktail. btw, from what i know Amaretto isn't made from almonds, it's only taste like them, it is actually made from the oil of apricot seeds. Great video!

[@howtodrink]

That could be true! I certainly don't know much about Amaretto production. I'm intrigued by the Scotch-Amaretto Sour idea though, would you recommend an Islay in that, or have we gone too far at that point?

[@ShaiBarzel]

I tried it with Johnnie Walker Double Black because of it's subtle smoky flavor. I think Islay malt can give an interesting result with a full smoky body to the cocktail, perhaps you should try it with Laphroaig 10 , i think it will be a good combination.

[@vishyav]

Hey man, I love your slow mo shots. Do you use a special camera? It really adds to the mouth watering affect of the drink! I actually came here because I'm reading a novel where one of the characters drinks Amaretto Sours all the time - Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn (Same author who wrote Gone Girl). Glad to know why the characters drink it all the time, looks like it tastes amazing!

[@howtodrink]

Thank you so much for stopping by! The camera we shoot on is a RED Dragon, and the slow-motion is shot at 240fps. It's a fairly standard digital cinema camera, though maybe not typical for the average youtuber, but it's not a specialized slow-motion camera. The SlowMo guys for example shoot on a Phantom that can get up to something like 10000fps. Hope you enjoy the amaretto sour!

[@vishyav]

Keep making awesome videos! Hope you get to a million subs!

[@frozenyogurth]

Amaretto Sour is the best. My go to drink lol

[@StudentDrinks]

This looks insane. Interesting version too, exactly the kind of thing I would enjoy :D

[@karenbiehl7263]

Yes

[@MentallyInsaneGamer]

Awesome video

[@xze4482]

Have nearly watched all of your videos, I think this one is the best! So much passion! Scince I have discovered your channel i have really started to enjoy taking time to make cocktails, thank you. Before that I had never tried anything mit eggwhite, but it makes everything so nice and smooth. Aaaand a questions: Do you actually do all the Filmwork your self or do you have someone helping you? what are your favourite drinks? I discovered the Ramos fiz as my new favourite thanks to you

[@llcoolmartine]

Just about everything with Amaretto is great:) but this one is THE best drink with it.

[@finalrestcamp]

My boy made me ask for a drink mixing kit and I have made my first mojito following ur vids then made on weird red grapefruit juice with amaretto and white bacardi with mint.

[@lamarybob]

Just drank it by a bartender friend and I just likes legit cocktails and Im obsessed with amaretto sours now, im a wine somm in education

[@howtodrink]

Sounds good to me!

[@lamarybob]

How To Drink but have you been on a bartending school or just from youtube🤣

[@oxze1]

I love the Mai Tai thanks for that one. I will defently try this😊 whitch burbon do you use?

[@boarderking133]

I wanted to make this drink but I didn't have any simple. (poor excuse I know) so I used slightly less maple syrup. Pretty dang good. You should try it.

[@IdgaradLyracant]

I prefer what I call a Picnic Style Amaretto Sour (no egg, minimal parts). So: 1/3 Amaretto, 1/3rd sour (which is 50/50 lemon juice\lime juice. Get fresh pulpy if you can), and 1/3rd 7-Up\Sprite. It has minimal 'parts' for packing for a picnic. Make over ice. To harden it, you can splash your favorite whiskey to strength but I prefer it without added kick or cut back on the 7-Up and more Amaretto.

[@rotemharel9436]

Love it!

[@andrewf8404]

Luxardo makes the best amaretto in my opinion. blows disaronno out of the water. if you can find it, get it.

[@GermyCC]

Is there a possibility that I could find this drink at my local Olive Garden?

[@howtodrink]

Matthew Webb they say anything is possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath

[@maxbas6912]

I know the feeling. Morgenthaler's Amaretto Sour is a fucking bomb.

[@howtodrink]

:)

[@yvonnecusworth3246]

Hi, ok I have purchsed the Amaretto but what label is your Hirsch? Your cocktail is Soooo inviting, thank you

[@Baddieyellaaa]

One of my favorites! Im a new bartender

[@elizabethgeorge168]

I usually just have my amaretto with scotch (Godfather) or some Dr. Pepper. But gotta try this!

[@Bazzen]

great channel, man!

[@howtodrink]

Thank you!

[@STskittz]

Awesome video! I try to make one of your drinks every weekend. What is "rich" simple syrup? Is it different than regular simple syrup?

[@joeyisonfire]

It's the same as simple syrup but instead of 1 part sugar and 1 part water, rich simple syrup uses 2 parts sugar and 1 part water.

[@boudewijnvork616]

Still wondering if you are instant hammered making these cocktail videos or that you’re just incredible funny and creative? So Greg, how late do you drink? Great channel man.

[@beverlyfrederick5362]

Greg you were comical drinking it as I was drinking it over the rocks at the same time ★!★!★. I prefer drinking mine with Squirt or O.J.

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

You say you never worked in a bar, but did you ever take any formal training classes for becoming a "mixologist"? I have loads of wine and whisky certifications and have considered taking a class on making cocktails. But, after watching your videos it seems I could learn just as much from watching your channel and experimenting at home.

[@johnnykaldani633]

I didn't have Bourbon, so, I used Laphroaig instead. Very nice. Amaretto Goirt 1½ oz. Amaretto ¾ oz. Laphroaig single malt Scotch 1 oz. Lime juice ¼ oz. Rich simple syrup 1 egg white Shaker

[@Lowfar]

how is that amaretto different from Disaronno I had Disaronno a few times but it was way too syrupy for me.

[@matthewcollett8501]

Disaronno isn't actually Amaretto; They haven't marketed themselves as Amaretto since 2001, in fact, their brand name is "Disaronno Originale" which is now marketed as an "amaretto-flavored liquor", as it doesn't contain any almonds, or Amaretto cookies. Disaronno uses apricot pits, because they have a compound which mimics the taste of almonds. Actual Amaretto is made by the infusion of Amaretto cookies (Lazzaroni) or almonds (Luxardo).

[@KicksClique]

Best amaretto drink I.m.o, make sure the egg white is cold, the colder the egg white the throthier the sour.

[@mjhsinclair]

I got the bourbon and the amaretto the wrong way around and reversed this. I’m calling it the Kentucky Amaretto Sour. It’s nice.

[@mkuc6951]

oh man. just made this. its boss.

[@KelseaKC]

Thanks, I drink it the same way about 3 times :)

[@DragonSlayerBMW]

What kind of music is that? I love it!

[@howtodrink]

Erin Walker thanks! It’s traditional hot-jazz performed by Glenn Crytzer and his Savoy Seven. He’s a contemporary artist and friend of the show, look him up. He performs regularly at better cocktail spots in NYC.

[@davidstraub593]

Nailed it.

[@norbertkasko1438]

Who handling the camera when you pour the drink? Very good camera using. Amazing. (The drinks too.)

[@howtodrink]
