I personally love cocktail videos that focus on the obscure ones out there. There’s hundreds of videos about manhattans and martinis and daiquiris etc so getting to see these lesser known cocktails that have their own history to them is really exciting

I like to sometimes sub in Wray & Nephew rum with gin on citrus cocktails. A little hogo instead of botanical. Probitas works well too and can be done 1:1. For W&N, I would use 1.5oz for 2oz gin.

I like seeing you make obscure cocktails I’ve never come across. A gin martini with absinthe? Brilliant! Also I’ve been making a lot of freezer door cocktails lately, like old fashioned’s, gin martini’s, and a white negroni even. Getting the ratios right to keep the abv up can get tricky as well as trying to keep the taste on point. I’d love to see some cocktails that can be batched and “frozen” from you, if possible.

It was the thujone that made it illegal cause of the way it interacts with wormwood but nowadays they have to keep the absinthe thujone-free (states) or like up to 25 mg in an entire bottle (Europe)

The Pauline sounds delightful, I will definitely be making that one. The Widow's Kiss sounds good, but I think I'd be subbing Strega for the Yellow Chartreuse. Stirred drinks aren't usually my jam, and I'd hate to waste the real thing on a cocktail that I end up not liking.

Widow's kiss is truly underrated. Grate cocktail everybody should have in their repertoire! One thing I would love to see is a comparison between the Apple Jack bottled and bond and the 86. I have both, among others. But when it comes to mixing them I've never done side by side comparisons to figure out which one is my go-to for which drink. Just saying I would tune in for that video...

Not to Hbomberguy you, but it’s really remarkable how all three of these cocktails happened to be covered by Al Culliton’s “The D List” column over on Punch. That said, this seems to almost certainly be a coincidence, since their Widow’s Kiss article showed how it fits into the Improved Cocktail category. Anyway, everyone who likes this video should go read Al’s writing!

Question: Is there really a difference between saline solution and salt? Is it just a matter of measurement precision? I often just do a like a quarter turn of a small salt grinder, and it enhances cocktails really well.

It's the same thing, one is liquid and the other is not. It's easier to get an exact dose with saline solution and dropper than a pinch of salt. But if the pinch works for you...

The reason for Absinthe getting banned in France (and later almost everywhere else) was because it became very popular as a wine substitute during the grape famine when wine was super expensive. Problem was even after the famine ended, wine sells were low bcs people grew accustomed to Absinthe. So the wine magnates collaborated with various newspapers to push the idea that Absinthe made people mad and they banned it. 💀

I've never had Yellow chartreuse, and like everyone else cannot get a bottle. Would subbing in green chartreuse work on the widows kiss? Or is too big of a departure?

The Widow's Kiss was featured in Ted Haigh's book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails. In it, he notes that green Chartreuse can be used but the yellow makes for a mellower drink. If you don't mind the extra intensity, I say go for it! The book's recipe also added a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters.

Hi! I've seen and enjoyed many of your videos and I did my first ever cocktail (Strawberry Daiquiri from your video "4× Fraise Cocktails for Summer") not long ago and I reeeeally liked it. However, is there anything you could recommend that would dilute the drink a bit making the rum not taste as strong without upsetting the balance of the cocktail? The obvious answer is to just have less rum in the drink but I don't want to lower the volume, in fact I'd like more "drink". Do you know of anything I could add to the recipe that would both increase the volume of the drink while still maintaining the balance of flavour?

A Daiquiri is never boring or old….. And “technically,” while today’s applejack is not made this way, jacking (via Wikipedia) is not the same as distilling brandy from apples. “The name applejack derives from the traditional method of producing the drink, jacking, which is the process of freezing fermented cider and then removing the ice, increasing the alcohol content. [1] Cider produced after the fall harvest was left outside during the winter. Periodically the frozen chunks of ice which had formed were removed, thus concentrating the unfrozen alcohol in the remaining liquid.[3] An alternative method involved placing a cask of hard cider in snow, allowing ice to form on the inside of the cask as the contents began to freeze, and then tapping the cask and pouring off the still-liquid portion of the contents. Starting with the fermented juice, with an alcohol content of less than ten percent, the concentrated result can contain 25-40% alcohol.[3] Because freeze distillation is a low-infrastructure method of production compared to evaporative distillation, and does not require the burning of firewood to create heat, hard cider and applejack were historically easier to produce,[3] though more expensive than grain alcohol.[12] The disadvantage of freeze distillation, also called fractional crystallization, is that the substances remaining after the removal of the water include not only ethanol, but also harmful methanol, esters, aldehydes, and fusel alcohols.[13] In modern times, reducing methanol with the absorption of a molecular sieve is a practical method for production.[14]”

August Strindberg a swedish author living in the 19th century did enjoy absinth a little bit too much i guess. He started to have mental health problems and thats probably because absinth are a very strong alcohol beverage.
