Master The Classics: Between the Sheets (Happy Valentine's Day!)

[@jimfererro1493]

Leandro, you’re, the great last line in the vid; “under the sheets” made me smile.

[@pedroveloso4919]

With just one sip it became Under the Sheets! It must be strong...

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Pedro Veloso LOL

[@genralsnape]

I liked that he didn’t edit it out even with the pause, I found it quite funny

[@RussellJohnson-ux9iv]

One of my favorite cocktails to make at home. I usually use white rum as per my cocktail app. I'm gonna try this variation tonight.

[@Xanatos712]

Ahh, one of my favourites. I think for Valentine's I'll make one for me and one for... uh, me.

[@endlesswaltz9051]

How thoughtful of you, thinking of the broken hearted and the lonely! 🤙🏼

[@cnhoffman]

Death & Co are big fans of the split base of rum and cognac.

[@pbr-streetgang]

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼

[@JWomack]

Triumvirate! Well chosen good sir! Cheers!

[@TheZhadar]

looks fantastic

[@ctwiggs]

Excellent drink! My wife claims not to like cognac, but she declared this one “tasty.” Thanks for helping us enjoy our Valentines!

[@jimfererro1493]

Was thinking about this drink and something clicked. I checked my copy of Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930. He published a recipe for Between the Sheets Cocktail as “1 dash Lemon Juice, 1/3 Brandy, 1/3 Cointreau and 1/3 Bacardi Rum”. I think your volumes are a better balance though. But your guess about Harry MacElhorn inventing it might be a good one, as Harry Craddock frequently “borrowed” drinks from MacElhorn.

Fantastic! ❤

Very nice cocktail. I’ve had my Barfly tins for a few weeks now and I will say that, it’s surprising how much easier it is to use these than the Boston shaker I had before. I thought I’d have to use like 40 lbs of effort to take it apart but it’s more like 10 lbs. I was probably doing like 50 lbs with the Boston shaker so I figured worst case I’d have a better grip.

[@amykruse6887]

One channel had a Valentine's Day Massacre cocktail. It made me smile. I agree, nice to not have a pink/strawberry drink. Between the Sheets is a very appropriate and enjoyable cocktail for the hallmark holiday.

The sound of fresh leather

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

we'll oil up for next time ;)

[@kitteung80]

Please try: pear and honey. 1oz of tanqueray gin 1/4 oz of blanco vermouth 1/4 oz of tripple sec 1/4 oz of d.o.m benedictine 3 oz of tonic water in a old fashion glass. Taste exactly like pear and honey.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍DEFINITELY giving it a try because of the “chocolate cake vibe” but ☝️especially because after one sip, the name changes to “UNDER THE SHEETS”!!!😆🤣😂💞

[@garlicgirl3149]

I know right! LOL!

[@Andrew666palec]

I have a technical question. I have a French style shaker. Sometimes when I shake drink with a egg white the pressure is just too much. Am I just not holding it tight enough or I need a better shaker?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Andrew666palec the problem with Parisian shakers is they don’t lock, they’re terrible for egg white drinks. I also really dont like the Boston shaker with the glass bottom. I exclusively use Mini Grand and A Grand shaking set. The tins lock and if done properly no mess.

[@Andrew666palec]

@@TheEducatedBarfly well it's time for me to get a proper shaking kit. Something you guys can take care about? 😂😂

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

You can hold out for one of our giveaways, or you can head on over to our amazon.com/shop/theeducatedbarfly and get a Barfly Mixology Gear set :)

[@stephane.foisy.186]

There is a variation of the Between the Sheets in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. Equal parts rum, brandy and Cointreau with a splash of lemon juice. I think the above variation might be better but I will need to try side by side. As always great video and explanation. FYI your collar was rubbing on the mic adding a bit of noise. Nothing too serious just a pointer for the future

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Stephane Foisy I know I realized that in editing. Gonna have to wear shorter collars I guess LOL. Good looking out though!

[@jimfererro1493]

Stephane Foisy I posted my comment after yours, not reading that you credited Craddock as well. Sorry. You get the citing honor.

[@russflynn]

"Instead of doing some chintsy little cocktail that I created with strawberries, or something, and making it pink or red..." was that a dig at How to Drink?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

As Bob Ross would say, that was just a happy little accident :P We shot this video before Greg did his cocktail

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

And Greg, if you're reading, let's share some cocktail and make some videos.

[@newbieOo]

Lol....red drink with strawberries....how to drink 👀

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Douglas Howard I totally wasn’t throwing shade at Greg, I shot this video well before I was aware of what he did...

[@newbieOo]

The Educated Barfly lol. No worries bud. You both have amazing stuff!!

[@Sylvestror]

Since you use Pierre Ferrand, do you think the plantation dark rum would be good for this cocktail?

[@polarbear353]

Excellent. I think I'll get between the sheets tonight.....uh, I meant the drink.

[@frogtownroad9104]

0:14 @How To Drink did Leo just call you out? (I'm joking)

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Frogtown Road nah I wasn’t throwing shade. This episode was shot long before I was aware of what Greg was doing LOL. I just anticipated that everyone was going to promote strawberries on Valentines day

[@frogtownroad9104]

@@TheEducatedBarfly I know I read your previous comment. Just playing around. I have a lot of respect for both your styles evem though I find them vastly different!

Who makes that hawthorne strainer? ...also, what model are those tins?

They're made by Barfly Mixology Gear, you can find them on our Amazon Store, amazon.com/shop/theeducatedbarfly

[@garlicgirl3149]

Oh Leandro! You brought a flood of good memories! Oh in my younger days I was a 'frustrated' bartender. I wanted to be one but the cost to go to school!! Anyhoo, I would go to library and read bartending books etc. My friends and I decided one day to have a party. I was in CHARGE of booze and the drink menu. You guessed it...Between the Sheets was one of the drinks and people loved it! Most thought because of the look a light drink....ha! I will always remember this drink being one of the show stoppers. It is really is a good balanced and tasty drink. I enjoyed it. Those were the dayz...sigh....

Garlic Girl I love that story!

What kind of glass is this?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Johannes this glass is made by Schott and Zweisel and is out of production I think :(

[@joniggemeier]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Thank you. Now i know where i have to look. EDIT: I found 4 last glasses on the german amazon. Thanks Leandro :)

I do equal parts of liquors and orange curacao instead of Cuantro

[@bernardmulligan5504]

So, sub out the sugar rim for a sugar cane byproduct based spirit. Interesting.

Oh nooo... My babe doesn't like rum...
