It's been ages since we've been inspired by one of your videos. Hoping the book has been a success, and hope we'll get to see more soon.

[@MrBlackSpirits]

These Espresso Martini riffs are killer, we can't pick a favourite so we are gonna have to make all 3 at the same time!

[@ZX_Erineon]

I'd love to see a video sometime of some drinks that you've made that you didn't enjoy as much. Something crazy you saw somewhere on the internet and tried because you were curious only to regret it or something like that. Great content as ever!

[@justinrushing7172]

could be a good series idea. Make a drink that is kinda bad, then see if you can make it good switching up the recipe a bit. Could give some useful insight into how best to improve cocktails that just aren't your favorite.

[@doctorx0079]

Some of his themed videos like "Marvel" cocktails are like that.

[@HylianPirate278]

He once attempted an Amaro Sour with Fernet Branca and said it was terrible

[@shura0107]

The Green Russian spec from Archer is horrible. He then does his own take on it that's good.

[@CocktailChemistry]

oh yeah, lots of my "recreated" series are like that. The recreation is often pretty nasty

[@BartendingPro]

Love idea of darker spirits in this cocktail, sounds delicious and will definitely give it a try. Nice work!

[@kawonewilliams1949]

Got my copy of the Cocktail Chemisty book today from Amazon. Very well put together. There is much of your dry wit inserted in its pages. Even better while I read it I hear your voice so it's almost like buying and audio book too. I love the note about the Green Russian from Archer (mix all ingredients then pour down the drain). Also thanks for giving us a glimpse into your family life with your partner and daughter. You guys look amazing and happy. All the well wishes and thanks again.

[@Tord69]

Hey Nick, your book just arrived. It travelled a looong way. I just read over it a bit and I'm already in love with it! Thank you for writing down your insane creativity and skill🙏🏻

[@skyeporter5279]

I just made the first variation with bulliet rye whiskey and espresso beans from the coffee shop I work at!!! I’ve been making espresso martini’s for a while now and this was by far the best one yet. Looking forward to the book launch for other recipes!!

[@WAGMILLC]

"Here's my $600 grinder and $2k espresso machine" nice flex

[@Erichwanh]

Reminds me of Clair Saffitz. "This is a recipe anyone can make at home. Now take out your $700 stand mixer and edible gold leaf..." ... I love Clair, so that's not a dis 😛

[@gw6667]

I see the commercialization push has been successful

[@FixDieWeed]

These recipes look beyond good. I make them using mister black, vanilla vodka and a lemon peel garnish and I thought it was already exotic. But you always manage to make the best variations out of a standard recipe. Thank you for the insights!

[@BisZwo]

The first one with the cacao liqueur must be awesome ! The second one looks very intriguing ! I definetely have to try that !

[@jordanmckay7037]

I see your coffee rig has improved since the last time you did a video like this!

[@camk9242]

Just made the last of the three and wow. I was a big fan of classic espresso martinis but the lemon and coconut makes it so interesting and refreshing. I definitely found a new favorite :)

[@Aaron-vt6gh]

The amaro one sounds amazing. Thanks!

[@agentjtravel_walkthru4205]

Yea buddy I’m gonna try this one, especially with 43 liquor.Thanks for the great video!!!!

[@outistynnanyt5153]

My great-grandmother lived in Prescott, AZ, and we always went to The Palace when we visited her (fascinating history with that bar, worth looking into). She always ordered a chocolate martini, I'd love to see your take on those

HOT DAMN been here since you were 50k subs or something years back, started here with the clear ice videos back then still great quality and love tuning in to the chill vibes, the creativity, and the delivery of drinks and definitely picking up the book :D edit: darn i can't enter the pre-order contest because i'm in canada, oof, still getting the book tho~

[@jathomred1005]

I actually created a coffee based cocktail, which I call Covè Maxwell. 3 small shot glasses of coffee, 2 shots heavy whipping cream, 2 shots rum, and 2 large squirts of grenadine syrup

[@1myfriendjohn]

Mr Black is the only coffee liqueur I use these days. Its amazing.

[@aleksandarkocic657]

Great video man, I'd like to see you making mimosas sometime on this channel.

[@maxwell_edison]

Can you do a Margarita video for the "3 Ways" playlist? You typically only have ever shown the Tommy's Margarita, which definitely seems nice, but people (including myself) would be interested in some other variants.

[@NeillSmith]

Nice espresso setup! I also have a white Niche (they're so pretty 😍) and for a long while was also using an E61 group head machine like that one. Very reliable. Do you WDT or some other distribution step when off camera? The grounds looked like they could have used a little grooming to be more even and flat instead of mounded to one side. I made a puck grooming device that works extremely well out of a liquor bottle cork and a few very thin acupuncture needles. Very easy DIY and as you know a lot of those bottles can have nice looking corks too. Small nit pick, twisting the tamper like that, especially on the downward stroke, is usually not a good for the puck.

[@rjove6]

Where’d you go? Come back

[@scottschofield5232]

Made the bourbon one but didn’t have the 43 or cacao so I did 3 dashes chocolate bitters and 1/2 oz cinnamon syrup. Holy %#?! Keeling that recipe. Fantastic.

[@tconlon251]

I know Easter is already over, but Jelly Bean Schnapps from Bob’s Burgers might be a good challenge We know it’s 150 proof and available from a guy in the parking lot of your local supermarket

[@skippss01]

I love espresso martinis. I've tried it with adding coconut milk and guaro and it's DANGEROUS lol

[@idhalaralbaiesh5429]

Yo nick just wanted to say nice book! Read it and it was very descriptive and the pictures really let me know what it was going to look like -Ryan’s son

[@GiantRiderRob]

Nice! Love the rittenhouse version like this. The sour one looks incredible!

[@peterverdon645]

Agreed!!!

[@stevenmuhlhauser1134]

How much rum was in the second cocktail? Looked like 1 ounce?

[@surfoverdose19]

I had the same question! Not seeing specs for these online anymore

[@andreagiagu7909]

I had the same question but I think he used 1,5 oz of rum in that recipe, same as the rye in the first and the cognac in the third

Hello! I just made an improvement to the traditional drink by using barrel-aged cachaça instead of vodka. In my humble opinion, it works much better than vodka. Cheers!

that coffee did not look like a light roast lol

[@FlyveHest]

I'm a cocktail newb, but, when you change the base spirit, what makes it a martini still?

[@Ghorda9]

it's not really a martini, a lot of drinks that have martini in it's name are only called that because of the glass it's typically served in. you could say that a real martini only has three ingredients and one has to be an unaged base spirit.

[@doctorx0079]

@@Ghorda9 You mean a gin base. A "vodka martini" is really a kangaroo and will always be a kangaroo.

[@Ghorda9]

@@doctorx0079 don't you mean vesper?

[@doctorx0079]

@@Ghorda9 Technically, a vesper is not a martini either, but it's a martini variation. A vesper has gin and vodka with kina and a twist of lemon. A good kina to use is Cocchi Americano.

I'm sorry, but is light roast a name of coffee roaster company? Because this seemed to me like definitely not a light roasted coffee, that was pretty dark. Otherwise great vid as usual.

[@HylianPirate278]

I thought that at first too but the grounds and the actual shots/crema do look like they're from a light roast. The beans probably just looked dark from the lighting.

[@39anonim]

@@HylianPirate278 I thought it might look dark because of the lighting, but even the shot didn't look light to me tbh. And the beans look shiny. That doesn't happen with light roasted coffee. I dunno, was just curious.

[@rlwoltzable]

I also know you use St George spirits. How does mr black compare to St George coffee gin?

[@CocktailChemistry]

The Nola coffee liqueur? It’s very different, lots of chicory

[@rlwoltzable]

Thank you, yes i think that's the one. I bought it maybe 3 years ago and really only remember enjoying it, it just in the rocks with tiramisu dessert or in a coffee martini. I noticed you opt for mr black so just curious why but now that you bring up the wood addition that makes a lot of sense. One more quick question on gin if you don't mind. I noticed in your gin and tonic video you talk about different gins, have you tried the Darjeeling gin from California spirits in Auburn California? Ît's super interesting and has almost an earl grey type notes. I'm really not good with making gin drinks so wondering if you had a suggestion for something like that. Is there a way to send you a bottle to try out? I love the spirits from that distillery but the guy making everything doesn't have many suggestions beyond drink it however it makes you happy. Beyond that discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and just blasting through your videos haha. Great work i'm learning tons and great job letting the drinks look so awesome in the close ups. Also enjoy the nut milk bag reference. When I use that term my friends get confused so very much enjoy that. Thank you again great work.
