Martini vs. Martini with Educated Barfly | How to Drink

Leandro from Educated Barfly flew across country to make drinks with me, and we throw down martini's showing each-other our favorite formulations. Also we curse a lot it seems?
**********************************
I'm visited today by my new best friend Leandro from Educated Barfly. He called me out in a video of his suggesting we hit up NYC and drop into a few of my favorite bars- sadly I was trapped in front of this camera all week and couldn't get out of my own bar- BUT he did drop by and we swap martini's. Not gonna lie, mine was good, but his was better.

Martini.... if i recall it was supposed to be a mix of gin and fortified vine(vermouth ), 1:3 ratio, + extras... But probably more famous if it was vodka martini.

[@michelguevara151]

hey Greg! your captions writer is killing it XD

[@CDBartending1]

I would love to teach you a few flair moves, Greg! Lets connect!

[@Nytstlker]

Can you make a video showing the good bad and ugly of how you make and brake your ice?

[@ThePolarcub]

I love your old intro with the spiel about how you've never worked in a bar etc. You should add that kind of intro back in. Almost gives it a network TV show style to it

[@AngelInTheDesert]

“Close ups re-enacted by Greg” ahh that explains the spillage. Carry on good sirs.

[@dariondow3116]

Critics- Avengers endgame was the the most anticipated crossover all time Greg- Hold my martini

[@sleepygrumpy]

Best. Parody. Ever.

[@Hapidjus_]

Do a road trip with a bar on wheels, twenties style or something. Stop at random places and make cocktails for people who are passing by or have small fan meet ups along the way. Maybe stop at producers of spirits/juices/bar essentials or famous mixologists along the way and get some more sponsorships like that. Could be a several episode long road-trip/series. I'd watch the hell out of it.

[@MaxSeidel1]

Do it!

[@bigbud6842]

That would be super illegal as there are varying liquor laws in various States and you need a license in each separate state to do that

[@bigbud6842]

If anyone could just pop up a bar where ever trust me there would be a hell of a lot of people doing backyard pop up bars all over the place. Unfortunately there's a reason this kind of thing doesn't happen

[@MaxSeidel1]

There could be a way around that. They wouldn´t have to sell the drinks for one, often that ist the thing that gets you into legal trouble. They´d of course have to double check. Also they could just tour cool bars of the area and do the respective signature drink of the bar / the region in the bar.

[@bigbud6842]

@@MaxSeidel1 that would require the bars actually being willing to let them do that inside the bar which that is possible but a lot of effort and Greg has a daughter I don't think he has time for that as for the pop-up bar whether you give the drinks away or sell them if you don't have a vending or liquor license in every various State you can't do it

Greg- "No longer alone in the bar!" The crew- Are we a joke to you?

[@nicholasparker2086]

How big is the crew?

[@GameSauce]

That lemon peel shot was incredible

[@Zodicus]

The greatest crossover on Earth. A smorgasbord of drinking magnificence. An union to cease all conflicts and disagreements. Two men who have the same taste in barbers. Two cocktails transcendent in their shakiness and stirring jives. How to Barfly.

[@Anaguma79]

"No longer alone?" Does the constant companionship of deer-head and pheasant mean nothing to you!?

[@countryrocker24]

I love how there are still hard f bombs and some are beeped haha

[@micahhaislett3792]

I commented the same thing then saw this lol, love it

[@riverlenore]

The sexual tension in this room is overwhelming. Kiss already.

[@davidhalldurham]

Downing his martini with one gulp, Greg admits to himself that this was his only chance. "Well, it's now or never," he says mostly to himself. Greg puts down his glass and, taking advantage of his superior height and size, wraps his arms around the smaller Leandro and kisses him as only a strong man can kiss another one. Greg wraps his right arm around Leandro's waist, pressing their bodies together. With his left hand, he caresses Leandro's muscled bicep that he so admired moments earlier. Leandro, startled by the unexpected kiss, flails for a moment. His arms go limp. His Nick and Nora glass crashes to the floor. Then he returns the embrace and the kiss as if he were clinging to Greg for dear life. Greg thinks to himself, "I've been dreaming about this kiss ever since I asked this man to join me on my channel. This, this is why I asked him to come visit." Leandro, still bending backwards, held by Greg's powerful embrace, thinks to himself, "I crossed the country for this kiss. This is the only reason I came here. I don't even like...what were we drinking?"

[@maytay_woo]

The pure joy on Greg’s face during this entire episode just does my heart good ❤️

[@MrBenfranz]

The swapping of beverages was DELIGHTFUL. Thanks Greg and Leandro. That was EVERYTHING.

[@neoroman0510]

Well, this was a historic meeting of two of my favourite KZbin bartenders and thank you so much for that! A lot of your fans and followers were really looking forward to that and you didn't disappoint! As much as I was taken by surprise by the event, I was extremely pleased to have watched (and followed!) Leandro's earlier video on exactly the style of drink they chose for this meeting: The Gin Martini! Imagine my joy and surprise to see this video later in the day, having made myself a classical 2:1 Gin Martini with an orange twist! Although my first experience with Martinis was rather unorthodox and exactly what Leandro chose to do here: (Leandro's slightly modified version of) Ian Fleming's James Bond Vesper Martini. "Three measures of Gordon's Gin, one measure of Vodka and half a measure of Kina Lillet.". You Americans use Cocchi Americano, I will use Lillet Blanc since I do have access. Cheers! :)

[@anarchist_parable]

"Psht...that's not all my gin" 😏 Can you guys just be best friends now?

“Yesterday I drank 13 rums”

This is great. I wish I was there. Even to just watch in person. Great job guys!!!

[@mkneiss]

I love how much the youtube cocktail community is coming together! I hope you all keep the crossovers going - love the camaraderie!

[@joereed6482]

When I was a kid, well before I ever had any alcohol, I saw an episode of Bewitched where Darren orders his martini 3 to 1. The gruff bartender replies, “I always make them 3 to 1.” To this day, for better or worse, I make my martinis based on a sitcom rerun I saw when I was 10 years old.

[@Nice-music585]

OMG! I Actually screamed when I saw Educated Barfly! I'm so happy you made it! This episode is EPIC!

[@tristanbowser6533]

Two of my favorite channels together at last! The prophecies fortold of this moment, and yet I find myself unprepared.

[@caffeinedelusions]

I like this whole 'bartenders trying to surprise bartenders and then complimenting each other's bartending' vibe, and I feel like it should be a semi-regular feature.

[@dbwygant]

two of my favorites together- love it! I’ve learned so much from you two over the past 6 months on my own cocktail journey!

[@greenmarcosu]

I like Leandro. You two seem to get along well. I would totally love to see a series of episodes/vlogs etc. of you two road tripping, eating, and drinking!

[@TheLittleScareCrow]

I love how they were so awkward and nervous, up until they start tasting.

[@marklinton4567]

I love seeing youtubers collaborate rather than compete. I'm recently subbed to both channels and wasn't expecting this.

[@BensRightBrain]

I love that this channel has grown the way it has. Love these collaborations!

[@anthonyp3113]

I absolutely love the paintings in the background. I love how happy and enveloped Greg is when he can nerd out with someone other than the camera.

[@mkneiss]

Realizing as it was happening that Leandro was making a Vesper variation and then having it confirmed was definitely one of my prouder moments as an amateur cocktail enthusiast

[@daitokuji8327]

They did it! They finally did it! Good job guys. love both of your channels.

[@nickweber253]

Really awesome stuff, Greg and Leandro! Thank you for making this happen!

Greg - I don’t know if you read comments, or those of 2yo videos, but I’ll comment anyway. Yo seemed quite humbled in front of Leandro. Don’t be. Leandro is great and so are you. Leandro is a full perfectionist. You are the opposite. You both work damn hard on your videos. I have lots of fun watching you and the Educated Barfly for different reasons. Celebrate your value. You deserve it.
