5x Favorite Bourbon Cocktails!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Hey guys quick edit at 10:54 I say it comes in at 93% but obviously meant to say “proof” which makes more sense. It twas a slip o the tongue we didn’t catch while editing. More specifically, I didn’t catch it. But it was brought to my attention so...in the interest of being accurate...

[@ProjectGeekPL]

In 2:21 you also have 3/4 oz as 45ml while it's more like 22.5ml Imperial units... Grains and elbows ;p

[@DukeDamnChin]

The Bourbon Renewal is no-joke one of my favorite home cocktails of the last year that I'm still making pretty regularly - so thanks for popping that lil fella up on my radar back a bit ago.

[@Sinnistering]

Yess, we're back to the season of slappypoos.

[@enthusiasticboozer684]

How awesome is a Kentucky Buck when you’ve got a BBQ going on and Mates down!! Fingers crossed for more than a 2 days English Summer

[@TheWeePearl]

That is a gorgeous color on that avocado orgeat. I’ve never seen that before. I will be trying it out. Thanks for sharing! Also those recipes all sound delicious, but the Kentucky mai tai takes the cake!

[@boozeontherocks]

Five nice and easy cocktails. And an interesting Bourbon. The stuff dreams are made of.

[@ddaenggyul]

Kentucky Mai Tai’s amazing for summer! Gosh it takes away some heat from crazy heat waves!

[@day-dreamer1313]

The Bourbon Renewal is what got me introduced to bourbon and inspired me to branch out into the world of bourbon (neeeeeever been a whiskey fan before) and now I can't get enough of the bourbon cocktails. I even found a brand of bourbon that I can sip neat. Beautiful drink. And if you add some Allspice Dram and a little lime juice you have a mix of a Bourbon Renewal and a Lion's Tail and holy Moses is THAT a great drink... 👌🥃

[@jodiebrown1962]

We were out of lemon one day a few years ago, so made the paper plane with lime juice and have never looked back. We call it the avión limón. Totally better than lemon.

[@miscstuff7473]

Thank you for doing this type of video (10 easy vodka, 5 favourite bourbon...). When the world is back to normal, I plan on having 'cocktail evenings', using one spirit per night. Having these great recipes (with demo on how to make) will make my preparation so easy. Thanks again ! Great content.

[@WendyWilliamsLiving]

The Paper Plane is now our favorite cocktail, enjoyed them last weekend. Thanks for the great videos and recipes!

[@christinecamley]

These are terrific bourbon cocktails!! I love your creation, Leandro! It is definitely on my must make list! The bourbon smash looks wonderful, with the lemon wedges, poured right in to the glass, and I always adore the Paper Plane - truly so delicious!! This Bourbon sounds delightful, and I will give it a try, if I can find it in Vancouver! Awesome video. Thanks so much!! :-)

[@tingchuchou4416]

Bourbon Smash is the BEST whiskey drink I have ever had! Never liked the distinct taste of any kinds of whiskey, but this drink is far beyond my imagination. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Lots of Love from Taiwan~

[@DrinkInDigital]

The Paper Plane looks stunning, what a colour from the Aperol, Bourbon and Amaro! Nice tasting notes on the bourbon in the description also, sold on the Off Hours!

[@SanTM]

Always look forward to your videos guys. I saw your earlier Bourbon Renewal video and have loved that drink. Morgenthaler drinks are just awesome

[@holypeachy]

I had a Paper Plane at a Bourbon bar in Louisville, Ky. Super delicious!

[@jlopez47]

I tried the Bourbon Renewal cocktail immediately after watching, since I actually had Cassis Liqueur on hand. Instant new fave!

[@peterverdon645]

I couldn’t wait until Friday and just made a bourbon renewal- very nice! Cheers

[@numanuma20]

The Kentucky Mia Tia sounds amazing! Great job on an original drink.

[@Gintoo24]

Great news, grabbed the Havana Club.....now need to figure out how to get it to you. Could not find Pueblo Viejo in PV, but learned they have it at Bitters & Bottles up here by me! 😁 Do you like the Blanca, Reposado, or Añejo for the cocktail(s) you like to make with it?

[@ezosresyek]

Note to self: don't drink in the morning. Two Leandros shaking the cocktail! ... Beautiful cocktails, man.

So I'm recovering from a tonsillectomy. That means I'm all jacked up on hydrocodone and liquid ibuprofen. When you did the double shake (@ 5:40 ) I legit couldnt decide if I was seeing double again or if it was a special effect.

[@alexguerrerocontreras2244]

Great choices for this weekend !!!!

[@kevinwilson5590]

Barfly, Those five drinks are all hits with my flavor palette. I'm very new to this and just recently realized I like Bourbon or Rye cocktails. Outside of advertising for the Off Hours Bourbon, what do you think goes better with these drinks; a Rye, Bourbon or Whiskey? Any Personal favorites that are going to allow the drink to be well balanced and not just alcohol?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Either would work but they’re formulated for Bourbon

[@Iffy1996]

I got super excited about nut free orgeat since I’m allergic to nuts, only to remember I’m allergic to avocado too lol

[@maitaioneon]

Wait a minute now. Didn't Erick Castro create the Kentucky Buck at Rickhouse Bar in San Francisco? I have had many of them here in SF before Erick went to San Diego or before Polite Provisions existed.

[@Gintoo24]

Hi Leandro, I’m in Mexico for my first trip since COVID and planning to bring back a few hard to find spirits in the U.S. My FIRST pick is Havana Club 3&7 year Rum! Viva La 🇨🇺 Cuba! LOL What else would you recommend I look for while here and is there anything I can get you? You have transformed me over 2020 and my passion to make beautiful cocktails as a home mixologist! ☺️

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

hey thanks! I wouldn't say no to a bottle of Havana club! Make sure to pick up some pueblo Viejo tequila while your there, it' shard to find in the states and one of my favorites for making cocktails. Super good quality, low price.

[@Gintoo24]

Havana Club 3 year as in the light rum or the 7 or especial? I remember seeing you make a cocktail with the 3 year a while back. LMK

[@briancorley1159]

Dude!! I am soo making avocado pit orgeat!! Thank you.

[@joachimkoka5030]

The renewal is such a fantastic cocktail

[@robertmorton2408]

For the Kentucky buck I couldn’t get my hands on ginger syrup and bought a bottle of domaine de canton instead, is this a suitable stand in or am I missing out? It has been a favorite so far.

[@eafarrar]

Question about the orgeat: would it be easier to steep the pits in water and make a "pit milk" (gross term) and then add sugar *after* straining? Or does the sugar need to be in there for the infusion?

[@Losdaman]

Let's rename this video - "Compilation of Creepy Face While Shaking My 5 Favorite Bourbon Cocktails." Just kidding. Great video. Can't wait to try these.

[@fatethekid5938]

I just get some juice or a soda n mix it and put a lemon on the glass but this works good too 😂

[@andrewzimba7432]

Hey Leandro! Party question - Let's say you wanted to mix up a batch of Paper Planes for a get together. Any problem with combining the lemon juice and spirits in a large container and just shaking with ice on a per glass basis on demand? Would the lemon juice change in flavor over the course of a few hours?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

It would be better to batch as a punch. And in the dilution and serve chilled :)

[@andrewzimba7432]

At 8:09, Paper plane was amazing, I substituted Amaro Nonino with Amaro Meletti, hope that’s ok. Can you please advise?

A while ago you had said that the aviation used to be something of a "bartender's handshake." Are there any cocktails today that you would still consider a bartender's handshake?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Shot of Fernet 😂

[@jordanfield111]

Before this, I just assumed that avocado pits were toxic. Hope you're feeling okay after this! 😂 The Angeleno sounds great, but I still only know of 3 recipes for it (all from your channel). Maybe I'll pick some up after I learn a few more!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

The avocado seed is encased in a hard shell and comprises 13-18% of the size of the whole fruit. Information about its composition is limited, but it does contain a good range of fatty acids, dietary fiber, carbs and a small amount of protein. The seed is also considered to be a rich source of phytochemicals, including substances that plants produce to protect themselves. While some of the phytochemicals in an avocado seed may have antioxidant potential, others may not offer any health benefits The carbs in an avocado seed consist mainly of starch, with its dry weight being nearly 75% starch. Starch is made up of a long chain of sugars, and researchers have begun to investigate its potential use in food products

I don’t drink, with the exception of the occasional cocktail. However, I am interested in learning about cocktails and learning how to make cocktail versions, so this channel has been super helpful in learning how cocktails are made and what makes them unique.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

yes

[@lxxwj]

love the vid! this is the tiniest of nitpicks, but in the description it says "...Non Distilling Producer which sources it's bourbon from MGP..." when it should read "sources ITS bourbon from MGP". there is no apostrophe in the possessive form of "its".

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

LOL 😂 right you are !

[@KillJoy83]

I had read before that avocado pits have cyanide in them and are not recommended to consume - is part of the cooking process removing that or do you have any particular comments on that topic?

[@peterpatrician]

The amount is minuscule. Cyanide is in almonds and spinach and other foods. You’d have to consume quite a bit to be concerned.

[@RemyTrahant]

Wow, cassis and bourbon? Doesn't sound good on paper but I bet it is!

[@blaindevlin]

What is that avacado ingredient you use in the mai tai? Would be nice to get an explanation.....?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Avacado Pit Orgeat there’s a forthcoming recipe vid on it :)

[@bribraybrai]

Question: Don't the strawberries absorbe some of the liquor?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

possibly over time but I don't think that would have too dramatic an effect on the cocktail but that is something that would need to be tested.

[@bribraybrai]

@@TheEducatedBarfly possibly just by taste testing the strawberries them selves? I'm a pulp kind of person, so I probably would just leave it.

[@scottmitchell4311]

Great video 😁, it would be interesting to do a blind taste test to see whether the average customer can tell when there is a small amount of bitters in a cocktail, I always go heavy on bitters in drinks as I just feel that when a recipe calls for one dash and has a full 35ml spirit, 15 ml fruit juice and another modifier in it the bitters flavour will be imperceptible to most palates.

[@AmbitionIsaMust115]

You said 2 dashes of bitters but only did 2 with a Japanese bitters dasher

This shake and dump just looks super awful and almost disgusting. I don't want all this destroyed mess in my glas.. edit: and as far as I know the Smashes have their name from the 'proper' technique of creation: put the stuff in the tin, muddle it a little bit, put some big pieces of ice into it and give it a 'hard shake' which is a shaking technique that moves the shaker vertical instead of horizontal. That gives the ice much more impact and that really smashes the flavours out of the lemon and mint.
