The Gunshop Fizz - What IS this drink?

[@AndersErickson]

This one's great for Valentine's or Fat Tuesday! If you're feeling adventurous, try this. It'll blow your socks off! 🤯 Time stamps in the description!

[@cobylyons4439]

I didn't see alcohol.

[@Speedysmooth]

Hey Anders im from New orleans and i was wondering daquiris are popular out in louisiana and how would you turn this into one?

[@rachmusic9873]

Keep having Az come around and tell us her thoughts on the drink too. Always enjoyable to see both opinions!

[@AndersErickson]

I'll try to convince her! I love having her join me too. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers, Jack!

[@Barprints]

Love the dynamic between those 2 and the different view points!

[@niklasbengtsson7756]

Yea, as long as she’s ok with it! It does add a super good dynamic and it makes you stick out even more. Keep up the amazing videos!

[@jays1752]

I like that she's not 100% on board with it. Instant gratification is really eventual boredom.

[@pauldegregorio6432]

I’ll translate for you Anders. She’s super cute!

[@evsanger]

Finally got around to making this drink, its one of the most unique cocktails I've ever tried. If you don't have bitter soda, you can use equal parts Campari and soda water

[@craigchingren-hamann9700]

I was wondering if you could make the cocktail an alcoholic drink this way. Thanks!

[@evsanger]

@@craigchingren-hamann9700 it would increase the alcohol content but just a note that peychaud's bitters is already 35% ABV so this is definitely not a mocktail

[@TrapdoorMixology]

Would love if you did an entire episode explaining bitters and possibly making a homemade version?

[@inthebag84]

I don't understand... who is the 1 person that hit the dislike button? How could you dislike this guy's videos. He's so happy talking about his cocktails, I love it!

[@KevinKos]

This is an interesting cocktail! I have never tried it before. I will wait for some Peychaud's bitters discount though 😀 Great episode, Anders!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Kevin! This one's definitely worth a try. Get the largest bottle of Peychaud's you possibly can! 😂

[@Phlucious]

What a great and professional looking channel. Keep putting out content and you’ll blow up soon broski.

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks for the support, Diogo!

[@KGiustOD]

So glad I found this! I recently bought some red bitter soda because it had my last name on the label. After sipping some, I knew it needed to go in a cocktail. I tried Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and two dashes of Angostura. Not great but a start. I’m skipping the experimentation and going for this next. Thanks!

[@mjadd]

Would love to see your take on a New Orleans Ramos Gin Fizz. When my dad would have one on Sunday morning, I'd sneak sips whenever possible. Thanks. Love your videos!

Those were lots of bitters. But after seeing you taking a shot of Angostura I am not surprised. This drink looks absolutely stunning. GREAT VIDEO man. Cheers!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks! It is a lot of bitters, but surprisingly balanced. Certainly a drink to remember!

[@akinigiri]

Oh bitter Soda! Reminds me of our Spanish one, Bitter Kas! More importantly, this cocktail looks amazing!

[@ericwinter4513]

Finally gathered together all the ingredients for this! Dang tasty if do say so myself. Thanks for sharing!

[@matiasbernhofjakobsen2993]

Never heard of this but reminds me of the Trinidad Sour - mostly because it uses a bitter as base spirit. I'm sure you've tried that, being a big fan of Angustura Bitters 🙂 Great vid and quality content as usual.

[@therealchewieswalkabout]

Anders...bro... You need to do voice acting. I think you got what it takes to bring characters to life

[@rachmusic9873]

Always the best way to start the weekend!! Thanks Anders!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Jack! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@ismellstatic]

Came for the funky lookin drink, subbed because this guy is just plain enjoyable, feels like being taught how to do something by a friend. Not a super close friend, just someone you're more comfortable around, y'know?

[@clintaunspach]

I just tried this cocktail, I did not preplan the sanbitter, but I subbed with a splash of club soda. So many things going on!! Incredible. Can't wait to try it with Sanbitter.

[@RobsHomeBar]

That looks FANTASTIC! I got some of those little red bitter sodas for my virgin negroni video so I'll be able to use them for this! Just need some more peychaud's... somehow I doubt I have 2 oz left! haha. Cheers Anders! Great video!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Rob! The fact that you already have the red bitter soda is huge! Here in Chicago, that was the hardest for me to acquire. You might want to be sure to grab the larger bottle of Peychaud's... I ended up using every bit I had on this drink! 😂

[@RobsHomeBar]

@@AndersErickson Yea I need large bottles on Peychaud's and Ango... used a whole bottle of ango in a few drinks a couple weeks ago

[@AndersErickson]

@@RobsHomeBar I'm definitely on board with the large bottle of Ango!

What an exciting cocktail, Anders!! This is so different, which is so cool, and so perfect for Valentine's weekend!! I can't wait to make this drink. I am always game for new and fun!! I can't wait to taste this amount of Peychaud's Bitters! I enjoy them so much. I hear you on the "bitter herbal bubblegum" taste!!! :-) Thanks so much Anders!!

[@boosteddrimmsu]

Birthday on valentine's day sounds like the best or worst thing ever, I'd guess it depends on the person. Either you're sad that you don't have a valentine on your birthday or you're happy despite having no valentine because it's your birthday. (Of course, assuming you, as in a person whose birthday is on valentine's day, wouldn't have a valentine)

[@alexerwin230]

@@boosteddrimmsu it has its pros and cons. Going out to eat is a no go. Trying to go anywhere really sucks. I remember hearing in high school everybody say how stupid Valentine’s Day is and it always put me in a bad mood. But now that I’m an adult I just cook my own steaks and make my own drinks and have friend come over. Plus it’s like a get out of jail free card with my Gf, since it’s my birthday.

Wow-was never expecting this; seems a little reminiscent of a pimms cup with the ambitious fruit/veggie mix; and I have been to that gun shop too☺️ I really miss New Orleans; just dipping my toes into the bitters world and finally got a bottle of angostura and orange....now I guess I’ll have to finally get peychauds too😂the combo of history and thorough instruction and tasting notes, alternatives for Ingredients and the quality camera work really make your videos worth every minute for sure! Cheers and enjoy the lovely rosey red weekend!

[@andrewgelwicks6936]

The watermelon comment in the video spoke to me! Bartending over the years, there have been times I've made Cucumber cocktails and guests percieve it as a watermelon flavor, and vice-versa. Funny how I haven't realized until then how similar the flavor is!

[@erintucker2819]

I blended up watermelon once and it tasted like cucumber! 😂

[@brendanriel888]

This is so interesting! Using rinds of the fruit for their bitter extract and hint of flavoring has me like 🤔😮

[@AndersErickson]

It works so well. Certainly not a drink you'll forget anytime soon!

[@Barprints]

So many great uses for the rinds, like the Regal shake (shaking with a citrus rind). Gives citrus cocktails a nice little "POP"

[@David-mg8zu]

Nice cocktail Anders as always ✊ I like using a few dashes of Peychaud’s bitters in my Rum Collins (with Flor de Cana 4 year white rum), it makes all the difference. Give it a try once if you feel like it. Enjoy your weekend 🍸

[@AndersErickson]

Nice! That sounds wonderful. Thank you, David. Hope you have a great weekend too!

I had a friend who made these at a local bar but he called his Devil's Piss. What can I say, classy guy.

[@roannawilson1568]

I have everything I need except red bitter soda. As a substitute could I mix Campari and soda water?

You sure could! The flavor profile might be slightly different (the little sodas have more sugar), but it's only about an ounce to top it off. I think that's an appropriate substitute 👍

@@AndersErickson I used to hate a cocktail we had at my old bar. A whiskey sour riff WITH muddled blackberry (egg whites too of course), red wine float AND nutmeg on top. And I mean, nobody likes a whiskey sour with berries right? Estupid main.

I did not have a lot of these ingredients but wanted to use my Peychaud's sooooo badly. I believe the cocktail gods blessed me because I ended up making a beautiful, bright pink drink that is also delicious!

Salt on the rim of a chilled glass- up, down, whatever ya fancy Shake in shaking tin filled with ice, strain, and enjoy. seriously this drink is so pink I was amazed.

I do! The Campari and soda would offer less sugar than the bitter soda, but the flavors will be a bit more complex - go for it!

[@therinsig]

Could you make this with Campari and soda water instead?

I've seen a new-ish bottle called Peychauds Apertivo, would one be able to sub bitters for the Apertivo in order to avoid buy 3-4 bottles of Peychauds bitters to have enough for a bunch of drinks?

[@WhiskeyDuc]

Different products. The bitters are concentrated, the aperitivo is like aperol. It's confusing, but not interchangeable.
