Eastside to the Southside and Eastern Standard Time

[@ozymandias3456]

Can we get a Freepour video of you testing the mint Shake theory? 1 muddled too hard 1 muddled correctly 1 just shaken Blind taste test then to see if you can actually see the difference.

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

I saw a video of Japanese bartender making his riff on a Mojito, and he added the ingredients to a small blender, and blended without ice or muddling. The cocktail took on a faint green color, and the leaves that were filtered out looked more cut than muddled. I'm also interested what that would do.

[@ogreenius]

Yeah, I always wonder about this supposed wisdom, too. Like... how does shaking the mint with ice *not* "bruise" it? The argument might be that the mint is then cold or submerged in liquid and thus not oxidizing or something, but I don't buy it. Blind tests are the way to go. 😁

[@nathanhunt9105]

And one slapped and shaken unless that's what was meant by "correctly" and in that case, just shaken and not slapped

[@jarrek2163]

The history of the Southside is "muddled"... I love this channel!

[@kruzfuz]

right? first he explores whether to muddle the mint or not and then says that :D

[@zipp930]

Marius didn't chuckle, but Leandro wasn't shaken. I would have been crushed.

[@ryanforsyth5189]

As a person who loves a Mojito (so, a person) but my favourite spirit is gin, my favourite Mojito variation (or rather a Southside Fizz variation) is gin, lime, sugar and mint lengthened with tonic rather than soda. Strongly recommend.

[@Ljaysauz]

Well, I know what I'm making tonight. Thanks for sharing this!

[@macdonmt]

Enjoyed a south side fizz at The Sixth in Chicago where they made a south side and then carbonated the whole drink. Highly recommend.

[@demetrinight5924]

I really like this format. Brief description of a classic drink, then variations of that drink.

[@evsanger]

Hard agree

[@ThomasS17]

I don't know the Soho house, but to me, the Eastern Standard just seems like a good way to charge more for less cocktail at a fancy bar for celebrities.

[@coolandgood0062]

Actually it is a REALLY good cocktail. Simple doesn't mean bad. Personally It is my choice. It is a mint-cucumber-lime-gin cocktail. Fresh and flavourful.

[@JaromWorthen]

Since you love requests, one of my favorite bars is in Boise, ID. The Bardenay. They are a distillery/bar/restaurant. I would love to see you make and try the Arnaud. Bardenay gin, Bardenay Cassis (black currant) liqueur, Noilly Prat dry vermouth, orange twist. Shaken over ice and served up.

[@TJGAUTHIER]

I did some math and figured out the Eastern Standard that doesn't use such weird measurements and makes it slightly more voluminous. I went by percentages and the gin and simple are off by 1% but I can't imagine that would change it too much * 2oz Gin * 1/2oz Lime Juice * 3/8oz Simple Syrup 8-10 mint leaves 3 slices of cucumber Mint leaf garnish

[@MissXaverie]

I love this! Like a lot of people, I'm sure, the gimlet got me into gin and now I've converted my whole family so I love trying variations for them.

The return of the metal shake can only be described as "triumphant."

[@markusrichert5441]

Would love to see Leandro comparing the fresh lime gimlet vs the Morgenthaler lime cordial gimlet.....And now i will try an eastside with selfmade lime cordial

[@chadkreutzer1552]

I haven't made it yet, but I bought some citric acid for the Morgenthalar cordial.

[@JonathanRossRogers]

I made Morgenthaler's cordial and I really like it. It certainly reminds me Rose's lime juice/cordial, which I bought once, but is much better.

[@MichaelAlthauser]

Did gimlets a few weeks ago using the Morgenthaler lime cordial recipe. Very tasty drink. That sharp citrus bite at the back of your jaw *will* continue to occasionally kick in for a while afterwards.

[@markusrichert5441]

@@MichaelAlthauser indeed very tasty. I also compared stirred vs shaken and for me the stirred version lacks dilution. Its not to bity but to sweet. The shaken one fits perfectly...at least for my taste.

[@danielgalil5020]

The south side sounds very interesting. Sort of like a gimlet and a julep combined.

[@williamhalpern6776]

Have you tried the Morgenthaller lime cordial recipe? I learned it from HTD and now I keep a bottle of it around basically constantly.

[@teccam]

I feel like a natural middle ground could be reached for the Eastside vs. Eastern Standard, without having to resort to the non-traditional measurements. Something like: * Scant 2 oz gin * 1/2 oz lime juice * 1/4 oz rich simple * 10-12 mint leaves * 3-4 cucumber slices I've always found Sours that de-emphasize the citrus and sweetener compared to the base spirit to be interesting. The Casino and the S'Walter are a couple other examples in that vein.

[@AngryCocktails]

A nice exploration of some similar drinks

[@munckie753]

Regarding the topic of not muddling, and letting the ice bruise the mint to extract the oils. Oils are typically sensitive to cold. I would think if you skip muddling, the could would cause the oils to seize up. Guessing the cold mint wouldn't offer as much oil as muddling would extract.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

That’s a very good point

[@GeezNutz]

Wait....this isn't Tiki!! Kidding. Definitely going to do a side by side of these. Sounds like fun.

[@josephirovic2103]

Happy to witness the return of the metal shake!

[@dallasshatel566]

You could probably even include the Gordon’s cup in here, since it just removes the mint from the eastside. there’s some other differences in preparation and garnish but it’s fairly close

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yep we did a video on the Gordon’s Cup already

[@jurgenandrag3181]

I'd imagine the Eastern Standard was originally made with either a metric measuring cup or a 50/25ml jigger (or even a 40/20ml)?

[@chrisdimal9869]

You're absolutely correct. It makes sense with the 50/25 jigger. Simon Difford (the founder of Difford's Guide) uses something called the 'Easy Jigger' which has every measurement imaginable printed on it (at the cost of aesthetics, unfortunately, looks like something you'd find in a lab).

[@Aenaos100]

Hi I work for Soho House, the specs for the Eastern Standard are 50 ml Gin or Vodka 25 ml Lime 20 ml Simple Syrup 3 cucumber slices 3 mint leaves

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Thanks for that :)

[@mrhoborz]

Hit me with the history, love it

[@stonehenge313]

Love these drinks! I make a morph of the southside and eastside that uses both cucumber and mint (and a tsp of grenadine) to make what I call a southeast side. these are delicious cocktails - thanks guys!

Have you ever used essential oils (edible grade of course) in cocktails? I tried to use mint essential oil on a tiki drink, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Eastside is another good one to add to the list of gin cocktails to offer to girls that are hesitant to try gin.

[@wafflehouseco]

Wow as the mint was being muddled I was thinking about how I commented on another video asking about the shaking with the mint and then he starts talking about it!

[@ivanandonov5506]

Thanks for a great video! Can you give us some Port Wine cocktails? Just tried Porto Tonic, which is basically a gin tonic but with white Port...don't know I think it is quite an interesting spirit :)

[@Zalvaarth]

Believe it or not, but the "metal shake" technique actually gives the very best result, it is subtle but crucial.

[@cfoyt]

Anna's garden gin makes for a great east side.

[@thepressman5287]

For my Gimlets I use basil instead of mint, I just think basil and gin are made for each other

[@ChadWinters]

The Eastern Standard seems like a bartender troll thing. “I’m just going to screw with people for fun”

[@kruzfuz]

to be honest, looking through all the cocktail recipes ever since i started hobby mixology at home, i felt oversatured on all the gin, lime, mint and cucumber variations. i mean, the eastside and sam ross' old maid cocktail are identical as far as i can tell (same specs, served in a rocks instead of a coupe). in the ende i settled for the violet hours' juliet & romeo as it takes the eastside and adds some rose water to it, and i love rose water!

[@bim41337]

Well .. if you're saying the Gimlet evolved over time to use lime juice and simple syrup, doesn't that make it a standard Gin Sour? That's why I wouldn't say the Gimlet can be made using fresh juice and syrup, since it isn't a Gimlet anymore at that point.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Really it makes it a gin daiquiri and the very first sour recorded was a Gin Fix so it’s arguable that the sour category began with Gin. Also sours topically use lemon as opposed to lime :)

[@bim41337]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Funny, cause I'd say the Daiquiri is at its core a Rum Sour 😄 Depends on how you define your categories, I suppose. If you're going by history, then I'd say your absolutely right. For me, a Sour is a template like the Old Fashioned, and therefore can be made with either lemon or lime as well as using whatever base spirit you want. What do you think? :-)
