Billionaire: A Brilliant Campari and Bourbon Cocktail

[@basseon]

I’m French and you got it right both times. People have accents. Your second shot was almost perfect 👌

[@jordanfield111]

If anyone doesn't want to make a large batch of the absinthe bitters, I did my best approximation for a single cocktail: 0.2 oz absinthe A shy 1/4 tsp of Green Chartreuse 1 drop each of Peychaud's and Angostura 4 drops of mint bitters

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Love it! Thank you!

[@ecossais696]

I'm french, and love earing you saying "je ne sais quoi". So nice my friend. Don't give up ! Thanks for all !

[@granthemstreet3209]

For the people who don't want to use 3 cups of Pernod, I did the math for you... 1 part Peychauds 1 part Ango 6 parts Fees Mint Bitters 24 parts Green Chartreuse 142 parts Pernod 68 Good luck 😁

[@SixpackSoap]

This just sounds like Pernod with extra steps

[@67pearse]

in addition if you want to make a smaller portion for just a dasher bottle (50 ml) try: 1.5 oz absinthe+.25 oz green chartreuse +1 dash peychauds+1 dash angostura +6 dashes mint bitters. That recipe is no way near perfect or exact but it's close enough lol

[@_skysick_]

There's no.... no no... _nooooo_ way those little droplets of angostura and peychaud make a perceptible difference. I'd challenge anyone to a taste test about the mint as well... Could we just call it absinthe with a little chartreuse?

[@maximilianmetzner2065]

You said, you'd steal that line from me :D Was waiting for it for quite some time now ;) The Cocktail sounds great, looking forward to trying it.

[@idellasheart]

Thank you for your great instruction and interesting change of accent! . Just finished mine and sent pics to friends. Delicious and a little chic. Accented mine with orange rind curls and the orange aroma complemented your cocktail nicely.

[@Javic167]

I am German and your “Je ne sais quoi“ makes me wanna invade France.

[@joeri666]

Javic167 lol you wouldn’t be the first German

[@moibastien]

French guy here and your "Je ne sais quoi" is so sexy !!!

[@stevencooper3202]

This has all the things in it I like. Bourbon, campari, absinthe. I'm making this come my next pay cycle.

[@surfside3616]

Oh man! I laughed out loud on that final “Slappa Lappa Ding Dong” I really admire that frothy pour after the shake too.

[@MyPancho1]

How did I miss this back in 2019??? It's a great drink..

[@ianholmes6078]

I like the dehydrated lime and lemon. I usually float them on the drink, and then eat it after. The Absinthe bitters sound great. I might scale back the recipe, so I don't end up with a pint of bitters ;)

[@Barprints]

Interesting cocktail. Will have to try it out.

[@TDanger1911]

I just grabbed a bottle of Evan Williams overproof to make cocktails with; now I can put it to good use!

[@benway23]

I had one at Oak & Ivy in vegas... Really fantastic drink!

Looks pretty well!!! Great job.

[@jackdegail-johnson2916]

There is an employees only in Sydney Australia as well, great bar

[@alechos1]

Great cocktail, thanks (although I used plain absinthe and a couple of fresh cherries instead of the dehydrated slice of lemon :) I must admit). Thumbs up!

[@Barprints]

Think I'm going to do the same rather than make the absinthe bitters🤔

[@samswilly14]

Je ne suis pas Francais. Is how I remember it from French class. Had that one down for the trip we took too Quebec because it says “ I don’t know French.” I’m pretty sure. There’s multiple dialects of spoken French. There’s the French spoken in areas of Canada, Canadian French now called Quebec French, in my home state of Maine along with NH and VT speak Acadian French. Known as New England French. In Europe they also have a ton of different dialects too. My grandfather during WWII was in the United States Army, he spoke Parisian French which is now called Metropolitan French I’m pretty sure. He translated for the Army over their when they happened to need it. I know that this has nothing to do with cocktails lmao, but I went down the rabbit hole a bit when you guys said that phrase hahah. Love your videos though man, I’m just starting to get into making cocktails at home, I’ve always loved drinking them lol. Figured I’d learn the basics and be able to make some decent cocktails for myself and friends. Your channel along with Steve The Bartender’s channel have really started me down the road on this. I have to order a shaker kit right off, I have a cheap one to get by lol. But just using that I can see I’m going to want to get a good set, and how big a difference it’ll make. A cocktail glass set would probably be a good buy as well lol. Keep kicking ass man and stay safe and boozy with all this craziness out there right now!

[@jessejenkins6930]

Great Cocktail! Just made it tonight.I love pretty much any cocktail that has either Bitters or Absinthe in it or Both. I have to say I’ve never heard of Absinthe bitters before. Anyway keep up the great work man!

[@gabrieltoledano5560]

Absinthe Bitters Combine sounds like an amazing cocktail on its own! Did you taste it with ice or with soda?

"Ennui" *2 oz of POM pomegranate/blueberry juice *.5-1 oz lemon juice (to taste) *.25oz absinthe *1.5oz vodka Shake over ice. Serve up (coupe glass) or pour over ice and add seltzer (collins glass). Garnish with a skewered lemon wheel with blueberry on either side. Enjoy

[@jakelancaster5889]

Hey I need advice. I think I'm fine with whiskey but Im getting back to bourbon, tried woodford reserve.. And it's awful. Even tried a cocktail which is an expensive way to use WR lol, and the flavor that I don't like.... Still comes thru. But I don't know what I'm not liking. The alcohol seems more prominent than say something else of similar proof. Idk if it's the oakiness I'm not liking or what. Its just .. The same way you described absinthe, too much and comes thru. Tried all kinds of things including diluting, simple syrup, grenadine, lemon juice /bar lemonade. Nada comes thru and I'm about to give away to a friend. But sad I spent 35$ on something I'm throwing away. Thinking about trying another whiskey or bourbon but will they all be the same? Is it just not for me. I know I've heard "you just have to find the one for you" except I can't spend money trying to find the one etc or go on a tasting.

[@ethangillese]

[@ayyrazza]

Leandro, I have everything in the specs besides the Mint Fees bitters. Is it possible to skip or substitute? Or will that drastically change the drink?

[@keeganhuff248]

If you like the sound of this cocktail also check out the third man! It's got grapefruit instead of lemon and no absinthe fun.

[@johnolmos8670]

Other Diva spirits in my opinion are Mezcal Islay Scotch Green Chartreuse Luxardo Maraschino Fernet Formula antica vermouth Creme de Violette

[@raumgehll]

You can't ask us "you know what I'm saying" right after saying "it's adding je ne sais quoi". We don't know either, what is it adding?!

You got the pronunciation pretty good..

[@gabrieltoledano5560]

Also, I do not see any resemblance to the millionaire in this drink. Anyone have an explication?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Gabriel Toledano yeah the millionaire consists of bourbon, pastis, grenadine, lemon, grand marnier and egg white and this drink subs Campari for grenadine loses the egg white and add absinthe and curaçao so I can see how one influenced the other

[@tnelson9285]

Never done this before...First!

[@cactusmann5542]

Well, my homemade "gin" tastes like pine. IdK how else to explain. It tastes like how pine resin smells. Am i on point, or did i mess up?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Gin definitely can be described as having a pine flavor. Gin is made from Juniper berries, that are actually more like pine cones. Is the flavor overwhelming?

[@cactusmann5542]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Its the dominant one, yes . Out of all the components those had the greatest amount. Dont get me wrong, i also used coriander, anise(regular), pimento/allspice, rosemary , black pepper seeds/peppercorn ,lemon and grapfruit peel and a piece of candied ginger. Tried to get cardamom but couldn't find any. Thus the ginger. I did try the juniper tea beforehand, so id say its the closest to that...

Sealed in an air tight container, and away from humidity it should last almost indefinitely. Just make sure to check that they don't develop any mold or rot.

Still great, but not as good as the original with grenadine. Guess it depends if you want it more smooth (gren) or with more of a bitter bite (campari)

Oh "absinthe bitters" I can do tha-- "3 cups Pernod 68 Absinthe" .... ".5 cup of green chartreuse" .... I imagine you were "slappy pooing" wads of cash while making that. At least I understand why it's called a Billionaire. Also now that I think about it could you garnish a cocktail w/ money one day just so I can see my mental image of you slapping a wad of bills and saying "give it a slappy poo".
