Hey Guys a little correction the Bartender's name is Shane Matthew Gardener from Kingfish in NOLA thanks!

[@coxandtales4231]

Kingfish in NOLA, right by St. Louis #1. Great place to check out for anyone in the area!

Your comment will get lost in the hundreds of comments you usually get because it's not "pinned" or something of the sort. Great video by the way, going to make it today for sure! I build myself an impressive bar because of your channel. I will upload the video showing of my bar on my channel. Keep up the education I love it!!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Sea Bass LOL thought i pinned it! Thanks for the heads up and glad your getting so much from the videos!!!!

Leandro: "It's always nice to use all of your ice and have _none_ wasted" Marius: *instantly zooms in on ice splinter left on the cutting board*

[@stevencooper3202]

Scotch. Yay! Rarely used. I'm Going to make this one. I love scotch

[@RendallRen]

I love when I have all of the ingredients. I pause the video, make it, and then compare notes along with Leandro. This one is with Ballantine's blended scotch, DeKuyper's Creme de Cacao, and Yulia Mezcal, with an orange-peel twist. Don't judge. The color is so much darker! The taste reminded me of a chocolatey Toronto: boozy, smokey, loungey. Something that might go well with a good cigar.

[@angel2of7death]

Leandro and Marius. Your channel has really come into its own and become in my opinion, one of the best in the realm of cocktails. Kudos to you both and keep up the great work. Happy New Years!!!!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

angel2of7death thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!

[@angel2of7death]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Thanks!!! :)

[@dannylanglois151]

Thanks to you friend ... And good resolution 2020. Even more video this year!!!

[@The_Other_Matt]

This one sounds really good. I've got Vida Mezcal and Famous Grouse Smoky Black at the moment but I'll have to give it a try tonight. Happy New Year!

[@pokeycola670]

Great update as usual guys, just wanted to wish you both a very happy new year, all the best for 2020!

[@peterverdon645]

This looks great, and I have all the ingredients in the house!! (Cut to me doing the happy dance)

[@ernieforni3221]

Videos go quickly when you do not forget things. I picked up a bottle of Creme de Cacao and have been looking for new cocktails for it. Thanks!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yeah they do LOL!

[@nrpbrown]

I just special ordered some Tempus Fugit Cacao for this drink and it's Fantastic! I tried the recipe with cheaper (I think Hiram Walker) chocolate liqueur and it was fine but the chocholate really comes through with the Tempus Fugit.

[@brazwewn]

I saw a version of this that used Rye instead of Scotch. It was at the Sky Bistro in Banff Canada.

[@robertoceferino1456]

Awesome video and this is a drink I'll definitely try. Famous Grouse is a good choice, it has just the lightest whisper of smoke from the Highland Park in the blend. If you wanted to do an upgraded version of this, I'd go for pure Highland Park single malt in place of the Grouse.

[@Xuuch]

This cocktail would be even more yummy and with deeper taste profiles using a Los Amantes Añejo mezcal espadín; that's gonna blend so well and smooth with the rye, the vanilla and the cacao and it's so easy on the palate!

[@lizlemon3698]

I’d listen to a podcast of all of the weird terms you say. Catch me falling asleep to “give it a stirry-poo”

[@nyashaphillips5100]

Did I say 6? I'm gonna go for 7. That had me cracking up

[@cooperrhoades3689]

Super excited to play with this recipe. Wondering how swapping vanilla bitters for the extract would go?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

It would probably be fine but much more on the bitter side

[@SCP-zp8jz]

Damn, this cocktail sounds real good. Also can I use Galliano instead of the vanilla extract?

[@spookerd]

I was all excited when I saw "smoked" in the cocktail name since I got a smoke gun for Christmas and was disappointed that this was not that kind of 'smoked' cocktail. I still think I'm gonna give this a lil smokey poo just because I can now.

[@cactusmann5542]

Speaking of mezcal, tequilla is a variety of mezcal. I tried patron silver tequila yesterday. It was kinda nice(though from what i understand it somewhat misses the mark). It was like our native grape brandy, but it was also NOT grape brandy. Really smooth though. Had some kind of weird herbal subtone to it

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

True. Tequila is Mezcal but Mezcal isn’t tequila as they say

[@cactusmann5542]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Tequila is THE mezcal though. Not all of it however(bottom shelf imitations). How should i put it... "True tequila is to mezcal what cognac is to brandy".

[@Javic167]

Why is the Seelbach video private? :(

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

There’s a big glaring mistake I want fixed and we will re-release

[@danlepine9761]

I gotta say with a name like that you gotta use the Smokey black grouse if you’re going grouse. Have you had the naked grouse yet? It’s a sherry bomb and phenomenal for a budget blend. I know you’re in California but it’s winter let’s see some more Rye cocktails. Cheers.

[@Javic167]

Flame an orange peal and discard to make it match the cocktail best. If you don`t flame it, it won`t match as perfectly, but it will make the drink a bit more fresh, which is also pretty good.

[@BrickFilmsCinema]

Dude this would be amazing with a lagavulin or ardbeg.

[@DaveTugwell]

wasn't there a different video?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yes I took it down to fix it. It’ll be back

[@DaveTugwell]

@@TheEducatedBarfly okay so im not going crazy well I already am but thats not the point here lol okay thanks

[@basiltschudi3283]

U know what imma say by now right leandro?😂

[@lauraleon9452]

I want you to make cheaper than Therapy from the STRAND HOUSE in Manhattan Beach CA

[@AmitBentabou]

Picking up a bottle of Mezcal costs a lot where I live (60$). Gonna try that with peated whisky though.

[@anthonybarnett5682]

I was just thinking that - maybe a splash of Laphroig in there.

[@MrSwordsman92]

Sounds like you live in Australia. The amount of times I've heard American cocktail channels say "not too expensive" or "workhorse spirit" and i just know it's over double the price here... :(

[@AmitBentabou]

@@MrSwordsman92 actually Israel, not Australia...

[@MrSwordsman92]

Glad to hear I'm not in the only place with expensive alcohol then 😅

As there's a Winnie the Pooh there must be a Losie the Wee. Bad joke I know. Great video as always!

[@P4me4ever]

I giggle at every poo

Haters gotta hate lol stiry the Winnie the pooh out of it brother

[@gangpardos3833]

Poo bear is fine, bear poo on the other hand; not so much

[@_mball_]

I do feel that Winnie the Pooh is not very appetizing! Who would think that?! ...but no, I don't mind the -poo suffix.
