Been drinking Sidecars since I first discovered them in France on a random vacation a decade ago. Through my broken French and his broken English the bartender assured me I’d love it. I did. You are correct that it’s a complicated drink to master. For every 10 of them I order in the states, at least 6 of them are “incorrectly” done. And thank you for including simple syrup - a critical omission by most bartenders that I have to ask be included when ordering. Great choice on the Pierre Ferrand combo as well. Super impressed. Cheers.

[@charliesanders8719]

The ‘classic’ recipe doesn’t include simple.. however this makes a very unbalanced drink, therefor most bartenders I know opt for using it..

Thank you for this video. I am a newb and started my research about a year and a half ago.

I appreciated seeing you make these because, it shores up what I've been learning. You can't go somewhere new if you don't know where you've been. The history is as important to the drink as the flavor in my opinion. Again, thank you for your awesome channel and keep up the great work!!

According to Winston Churchill the perfect Martini is cold gin in a glass and you whisper the word vermouth over it.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

haha

[@Punxerklc]

Or wave the bottle over it, glance in the general direction of Italy etc. At that point, it isn't a Martini anymore. It is chilled neat gin.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

apple_ juice obviously Winston Churchill didn’t know to keep his vermouth cold

[@beatrizcebada1845]

I also agree he used way too much vermouth

[@scrunchycrumbundles8013]

That is the amount of vermouth you should expect in a properly made martini. From there, as someone ordering one, you can then request the level of dryness and an experienced bartender will be able to tailor it to your preferences.

So excited to see Flor de Caña represent! I'm a bar owner and I live just 30 minutes from the Flor de Caña distillery!! It's the only rum we use. But might i recommend the Cristaliano over the four year blanco for serious cocktailing with clear rum.

[@joe_hutnak]

Hey Leandro, I love these compilation videos! I was wondering: Would you consider doing a video of different drinks that start with the same basic ingredients? For example, when I hosted the Super Bowl this year, I made Moscow Mules (for LA) and Cape Codders (for New England). Because they both use vodka and lime juice, I could mix up a batch of those two ingredients in a cobbler shaker, and then all I needed was ginger beer and cranberry juice to make the different drinks. Keep up the great work!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Joseph Hutnak yeah sure I could definitely do that !

[@joe_hutnak]

Awesome, thanks! I think with summer parties, too, it's great to have a short (and inexpensive) list of ingredients that can be used for a variety of drinks.

I really enjoyed that video…the specific subtleties of those drinks were very well explained. Such as your comments on the un-dissolved sugar in the Old Fasshioned. Many might say it would be a flaw to have the sugar still in the glass at the end of the drink. Now it’s at least imho a special variation to be enjoyed. Also the emphasis on the coldness of ingredients for the martini and the hi ball are great pointers. I really enjoy your channel and the two way between you and your cameraman !!!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support and glad you dug the video :)

[@chanellemartina1588]

Interesting take on the martini. I’ve always done a classic one with just a wash of dry vermouth an olive. I’ll sometimes ask the customer if they want a lemon twist or an olive if they don’t specify. Never heard of doing an orange twist but that makes sense since you used orange bitters. Also surprised that you didn’t add a sugar rim to the side car.

[@TheChickwithguns]

You’re fun to watch. You’re intelligent and charismatic. I am just a self bartender because I usually just make a drink for myself while my husband and I sit by our pool in the evenings. Hubby doesn’t drink. I love learning to make fun cocktails because who wants to drink the same thing every day?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

[@jalves6494]

Iv never seen orange bitters in a martini in my life but hey, worth a try

[@1chrismj]

J Alves ditto. What gives ??

[@bradsimpson8724]

Waaaaay back when, orange bitters and sweet vermouth(if I recall correctly) were in the original martini recipe. I tried it and didn't care for it. I've basically settled on a few drops of Dolin's into Oxley gin. I like it with lemon instead of olives, and if I'm making them for people, I flame the peels because it looks cool and the smell is nice.

[@TheRockyLeonFan]

I've watched a thousand videos like these and TBH I expected to see a lot of things going wrong as it usually happens. But I am absolutely surprised!

Bold move going with the orange twist in the martini rather than olives. Cheers!

[@briannicholsgriggs7115]

Only quibble I'd argue is make mention that the sidecar is a daisy (margarita) and, like the daiquiri, is a standby archetype that lets you swap like with like for a lot of fun home experiments! Great callout on the martini's relationship with the Manhattan. Also beautiful old fashioned. I also always do the lemon + orange. had it once and never looked back.

Me realizing my understanding of rum is so limited that I was surprised that literally anything other than Captain and Kraken exists.

[@electrichanoi7244]

Colin Patterson Seriously? They’re only spiced rum, that’s a really small percentage of rums

[@MrJacobThrall]

@@electrichanoi7244 Interesting. Captain is a range of rums (including a spiced variant) in the UK. The original dark version has been around for decades, with the spiced being a more recent addition to this market (originally sold in the UK under the name "CJ Crocker Original American Spike" in the 90s, marketed as a bourbon-esque liqueur in the vein of Southern Comfort, when rum wasn't fashionable).

[@siggyincr7447]

Lots of different styles. I personally find Baccardi to be terrible and Cap. Morgan's only useful mixed with coke. Flor de Caña has been my favorite brand since I discovered it. The 7 year old is a good balance between cost and quality. The 4 year old has a lot sharper alcohol taste/smell.

Just a tip, next time when peeling the zest of the orange or any citric try use the least white part as possible as it will only give a not that pleasant bitter hint

[@philipadams3325]

Just wanted to let you know, I have been experimenting with these. Love the Brandy Flip, would be interesting with a Coffee Liquer. Old fashioned I am struggling with. Not really getting sugar til end will work on. My favorite is from another video, your whiskey sour with egg white. I only make one change. I use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of lemon juice because of personal taste preference. Thanks for the channel.

[@minch25]

For the old fashioned, use two sugar cubes and play around with how much you stir

[@gregoryanthony7587]

Use a syrup (demerara is best) instead of sugar. Once you have the syrup made, it's a lot easier (no muddling required) and dissolves better in the drink.

[@jtbjr58]

"Nick and Nora" from The Thin Man, 1934. Nice. Or a "coupe," the orginal cocktail glass going all the way back. Nice to see a Martini in its basic form. Olives and olive juice are for folks who like that taste and that look. If you are mixing with a good gin, that takes a little game away. For extra dry martinis, spray the inside of the coupe with chilled vermouth. It doesn't take much.

Moscow Mule is a Highball...

[@KoiKoy56]

@@omarkos54 Indeed. The content creator misspoke when saying a highball is a spirit and soda water. In reality, a highball is a spirit and a carbonate. Ginger beer is a carbonate, and a Moscow Mule, or any mule variation, are highball cocktails. The margarita is also a daisy cocktail (same as the sidecar featured in this video). It's made with tequila, lime, and orange liqueur instead of brandy, lemon, and orange liqueur. The Mary is a class of it's own. Not super classic, coming out of the 1960's, but absolutely delicious. I can drink them all day.
