Master The Classics: Creole

[@Von_Fishman]

Hey Leandro , thanks so much for the shout out I am indeed that Misha from Boston that left you the note! Sorry that I was not that lovely woman in the pic, I look far worse in a red dress :(. Also damn you know I need to get my Euro friends to send me a bottle of Picon.... Also love the forgetting of the glass ;)

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Misha LOL I should have known that you were a man! But damn it I wanted you to be a lady so bad!

[@dalepalarz3921]

Made this yesterday evening per your specs...used old overholt bonded and china-china...genuinely delightful cocktail...thanks!

[@gabrieltoledano5560]

Picon is one of the best we mix iy with beer and sometimes coffee in france mostly in the north but sometimes in paris also

[@jimfererro1493]

Love the vintage cocktails. Good video as usual.

[@WhiskeySugarBitters]

Haha.. I agree, drink to get tipsy, not sloppy!

[@ConScortis]

My favourite part: 4.11 - photo of Misha My least favourite part: 4.19 - finding out that Misha was actually a mischaracterisation (or should I say a MISHAcharacterisation?)

[@TracyHall_DreamsAndLogic]

There's a place in Colorado making an Amer Picon, up near golden, working towards the old spec... Not *wide* distribution, but some.

[@jimfererro1493]

Tracy Hall Golden Moon Distilling, Golden, Co. Makes Amer dit Picon, based on the original higher proof version.

[@TracyHall_DreamsAndLogic]

@@jimfererro1493 Aw, man, you beat me to it - I had a link (at home) to it, but only just got a chance to look... :)

[@jimfererro1493]

Tracy Hall I bought a bottle, specifically to make a real Brooklyn. But to tell the truth I prefer either Ramazzotti or CioCiara instead.

@@jimfererro1493 Wow, really? So not that good after all?

[@TheSagePrince]

The Creole also appears earlier (than Craddock's recipe) in Ensslin's book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks, with the same ingredients, and same proportions as Craddock.

[@christopherreed4723]

Oh, thank goodness! Something I can use my full size bottle of Benedictine on besides the Vieux Carré (I didn't realize they sold small bottles of it until several weeks later). Now I just need to locate one of the Amer Picon substitutes. Incidentally, what is your opinion of the sweet vermouth made by Vya?

[@DavidRamseyIII]

I wonder if you could substitute the picon for the cold brew amaro that Mr Blacks make. Do you think the flavours would conflict? (Looking for an excuse to purchase the mr blacks amaro that has very little use)

[@DirtyHairy01]

Did you ever make a video on homemade Amer Picon? 🥺

[@andrewzimba7432]

Did you ever do the episode on home brew old skool Amer Picon? I’m not finding it anywhere.

[@bladesxl]

Leandro - did you ever do the video on homemade Amer Picon recipes (I'm assuming Amer Boudreau tops that list)? Would be interested to see, if so. Thanks

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Been on my mind a long long time

[@mommylap]

What about Amaro Montenegro to sub for the American Picon? Not bitter enough?

[@Tusc9969]

Can I use Ramazzotti Amaro or Cynar since I ran out of Picon? Don't have any of the ones you suggested either.

[@stefanopassiglia]

Yes Ramazzotti would be a good sub.

[@Tusc9969]

@@stefanopassiglia Thank you for the response.

[@Dylan28969]

Hey! I love the work you're putting out! Would you be able to cover one of my favourite classic cocktails? Its called the Charlie Chaplin

[@WhiskeySugarBitters]

I will put that on my to-make-list for my channel! Have you had The Pendennis? Similar with the apricot, gin, lime combo.

[@herstekdiving5487]

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

[@frostbite4954]

She got 2 points,but I give her ten. Must be the cold weather...

[@Irishringo]

What was the other version's specs

[@msigala]

Is amer picon now biere picon?

[@lefterisortylidis7197]

Averna no amer picon

[@bulletsxdame]

Disappointed that you didn't splice in a picture of Beyoncé into the making of this. Lol

[@danielferguson5563]

This is pretty much a glorified/upscaled Picon Punch.

[@anegativecoconut4940]

A Creole without Creole Bitter? Mah.
