Why has Nobody Compared These Two Cocktails?

[@AndersErickson]

If you're a fan of dry sherry, these two classics are for you! Cheers! Grab these bottles from my collection at Curiada!: 👉 bit.ly/Andersbottlesordering

[@jessicacolgrave4082]

I live in Canada and work in a liquor store, your videos are totally getting me points with customers on my cocktail ideas for them and I’ve sent a few to this channel. Hope they found you! :)

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Jessica! 🥃

[@ozymandias3456]

Canadian here as well. How rough do you have it regarding alcohol in your province? Most Canadian liquor stores suck, so overpriced with a lack of selection the Americans enjoy. I can't even get maraschino liqueur here in NB

[@jessicacolgrave4082]

@@ozymandias3456 in Ontario, at the mercy of the province. Great people to work for but wish the selection was a bit wider outside of major cities. ETA: most general spirits on his channel I can get here but the apertifs and liqueurs are touch and go.

[@Urotsukidoji1]

I'm new to your channel, and have been binging your old vids.... I have to say your fun/up-beat personality in these vids is infectious...

[@David-mg8zu]

I love the bamboo, there’s a little Korean restaurant in London that makes the best Bamboo, they used Manzanilla, Kina L’areo D’or, Orange bitters (Regans) and absinthe. They also used an orange twist on top.

[@AndersErickson]

That sounds so good - love the addition of absinthe. Thanks, David! I'm going to have to give that a try!

[@RuuBjAh1]

Ooh nice! Which restaurant is that, if I may ask? It sounds delicious like that!

[@christoslefkimiotis9889]

name of the restaurant please?

[@David-mg8zu]

@@christoslefkimiotis9889 not sure what’s the name I’ll have to find it again, it’s a small place in Fitzrovia opposite Soho, we went there before lockdowns back in 2020. The food was good too, but those house Bamboo cocktails were extra special.

[@christoslefkimiotis9889]

@@David-mg8zu thx

[@naomiw1490]

We used our ultra crappy sherry and these still tasted great. Thanks for giving us a new hobby during the pandemic! Really enjoying making these at home.

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks for mixing along, Naomi! Cheers!

[@fritzallgemeine]

Congratulations on the 200k. And i LOVE the content.

[@BasementBartender]

Love that you not only compared them side by side, but made them side by side simultaneously! Very entertaining to watch!

[@batmannewyork]

I think this was one of your best videos, felt so natural and the cocktail comparison really honed in on the nuance of the two drinks. So glad to see your channel growing and hope 2022 and beyond bring you much success, peace, laughter and joy. Thanks Anders!

[@julianwyrwa8965]

Another great video Anders! Being locked down in Toronto, I’ve invested in a home bar and make all of your cocktail recipes for my family. Would love to see your creative spin on the Boulevardier, my favourite cocktail for the winter! Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@AndersErickson]

Love the Boulevardier! Thanks, Julian!

[@e.j.bosman7728]

Haha, same here but in Amsterdam. Guess lockdowns make us extra interested in booze :) Thanks Anders for the enthusiasm!

[@Kazaii64]

Not looking forward to returning to Toronto next week :( . +1 for Boulevardier twist/spin!

[@mawnster36]

Also locked down in Toronto, also so grateful to have discovered this channel this past year! I’ve learned a ton, have stocked up on some beautiful glassware and bottles and despite a self imposed Zero ABV January, feel prepared to amaze future guests with some beautiful cocktails when we’re allowed to actually gather and host again.

[@marvymaxee]

@@mawnster36 me too

[@Kazaii64]

Bamboo sounds absolutely up my alley. I'll have to try it before dry February

[@AndersErickson]

Hope you can give it a try, Mark! Cheers!

[@eliot_jay]

When you said “lower ABV” it reminded me of one of my favorite ABV cocktails from Michael McIlroy, Rome with a View! It’s a great summer cocktail but makes a really great aperitif at any time.

[@zudosmg]

TO THE BAR!!. Gets me everytime!

[@timgallivan6127]

Hi Anders, our first attempt at sending you a comment. My wife and I are new subscribers and about a few months in. Have been kind of power watching to slowly get caught up. Gotta tell you we absolutely love the channel. It's not just the knowledge, it's all about you. Your delivery, humor all around likeability. Oz is great as well. Want more Oz! We have tried many of your recipes. Everyone we have tried has turned out wonderful with a little practice. I've even made a couple syrups. The Demarera makes a world of difference. We are huge bourbon people and going back to Lexington in a couple weeks. On the lookout for hard to find bourbons and whiskeys. Thank you for being you and looking forward to watching all your vlogs. Tim and Therese Gallivan

[@hankscorpio33]

New sub here, this channel kicks ass! So glad I found it. Now I can make my favourite drink, the old fashioned properly. Cheers to Anders!

[@sosonolow5094]

The Adonis made with oloroso sherry is really really good. Savory but light. It's a truly sophisticated drink.

[@akinigiri]

Bamboo! That's a classic! One of the best cocktail bar owner in Yokohama told me the stories of the classic Yokohama cocktails. If you ever get the chance to come to Yokohama, check out the Three Martini and the New Grand Hotel Sea Guardian (originally the Grand Hotel that Eppinger managed) Thank you for sharing a local classic. Love from Yokohama!!!

[@johnnyringo3171]

Anders. . . The Alton Brown of cocktails 👍 You definitely have helped improve my game.

[@AndersErickson]

Alton Brown is high praise - Thanks!

[@distlledbrewedreviewed]

Great background info on these drinks. Interesting comparison, great idea on the side by side. Cheers my friend!

[@MikePulcinellaVideo]

Love em both! Thanks for the deep dive!

[@Mark_Wood]

Always look forward to a new video on Fridays! Keep em coming

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Mark!

[@marionbell6423]

Wow - I can't wait until February 1 to try these! Thanks again Anders and Az, for making Fridays even more fabulous than they are already.

[@hyelish_]

Just found your channel, love the content! I will leave you here the name of a classic southern aperitivo: the Ferroviario. It translates to something like railroader-railwayman, because people used to get one in bars near the railroads in my country during the early 20th century, cheers!

[@briancswartz6411]

Great video! This definitely made me want to buy a bottle of Dry Sherry to try these out.

[@christinecamley]

Oh wow, these cocktails are consistently huge favourites!! They are very similar. Both are outstanding!! :-)

[@AndersErickson]

This was a fun comparison! I found it fascinating they were so similar, but also how old these both recipes were! Hard to pick a favorite. Cheers, Christine!!

[@samstevens8317]

This channel is violently underrated and does not have the views it deserves. This channel is too amazing. I know it’s going to be a good day when Anders posts a video

[@paulweber1740]

I just have to say Anders, that it is a rare channel that I look forward to on KZbin. I’m am usually done with work around 2330 on Fridays and you are the first video I look for and watch when I get home. Your production is superb, the experience and knowledge… man, thank you so much to you and Az. You’ve taught me so much and elevated my game. Keep it up! Cheers from PA.

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Paul! Love hearing this, and I'm happy you're enjoying the channel. Hope you have a relaxing weekend. Cheers!

[@tomfox6084]

Amazing!! I always love the brilliant camera work by Az, too, have you considered doing a behind the scenes video at all? I’d love to know how everything looks so perfect!

[@octo_contra]

these comparisons are my favorite type of Anders video, like the Clover Club and the Pink Lady, and now two so close together?

[@suejohnson2380]

Love sherry. Have everything in the house for the bamboo! Will be mixing this one tonight!

[@AndersErickson]

Excellent! Have a wonderful weekend, Sue. The Bamboo will kick it off right!

[@KSICZEK2]

Wow, great comparison! Never thought of comparing these 2 (which is kinda the premise of this video 😂). When making Bamboo I usually throw it with some ice instead of stirring. The texture is just AMAZING that way. Great video! 🙂

[@gabrielpita11]

Hey Anders! I noticed you never made a video using Cachaça. I'm from Brazil and I would love to hear your take on this spirit. Your videos are great man, keep it up!

[@EglkBTumane]

Thank you, Anders and Az! I have my bottle if Lillet Blanc - works like a charm! it's amasing, how you can really taste all the different flavours and richness of different alcohol mixed together. It's like a whole world, not less than a wine one.

Fantastic trying tomorrow evening now I'm over COVID these will be my first cocktails.

[@danieldrazic7781]

Anders! You have been my sole reason for getting into mixing drinks and you are by far one of my favorite youtubers. The way you guys format your videos and keep everything so clean is something that very few can do! I also have a video idea for you.. while also helping me out here.. I can’t seem to find any way to get plum/pear brandy to mix well with anything. Being from former yugoslavia, I want to see if you could try and find a way to incorporate plum/pear brandy into a drink.. best of luck to you and have a great week!

[@ThreeOttersInATrenchcoat]

I've been meaning to explore sherry for some time now; I think I may go buy that bottle tomorrow!

[@georgealdrich9665]

Love the side by sides. The Americano and Negroni is a favorite of mine...so ah, Keep it up.

[@cecefil]

Dude that right hand stir had more revolutions per second than the left for sure 🥃

[@MrJACarroll]

Thanks for another excellent video Anders. I didn't have any sherry to hand but instead used a dry (sercial) Madeira in the Adonis - which worked pretty well...or at least I think it did given that I've never tried one with sherry, but it tasted good which is the main goal after all! I'll have to compare and contrast with sherry when I get the chance.

[@invictafilms2690]

I bought the mixing glass you use in these videos. It’s excellent.

[@RoryJones]

Looking forward to trying both this weekend!

[@AndersErickson]

Hope you enjoy them, Rory! Cheers!

[@ItsaMagikBanana]

Great video Anders. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how approachable your content is. I've been a home chef and baker for years, so the joy of discovery in making a new recipe or refining one I thought I had mastered is old hat to me, but between your excellent content and my SO, I've found the gumption to deep dive into the science and theory of making all these drinks, invest in quality bar tools, quality ingredients, and start my cocktail journey. There's nothing that quite beats the satisfaction of a deep dive into a new culinary art, and coming up with hit after hit because of great content creators like you. This feels like baking, but it's done in 3 minutes. So thank you! I'm loving this so much I'm considering (once I'm practiced) using these skills part time while I'm switching careers. So again, thank you for that! My girlfriend also thanks you for the delicious drinks!

[@ericbrunick2267]

Hello Anders! Long time listener, first time caller, love your show. I have a bottle of Lustau Amontillado sherry at home along with all the other ingredients so I made both cocktails just now and I am so pleased with them! I concur with your assessment that the Bamboo is a great aperitif. Between the two I found the full body of the Adonis fetching and my preferred version. Thanks again for the knowledge! Cheers! Eric

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Eric! Appreciate you mixing along. Cheers to you!

[@gordonweir7953]

Nice one Anders, another Cracking Vid ! My favorite but simple Sherry cocktail, I fondly remember drinking what seemed like gallons of the stuff during easter holidays in Jerez (the home of Sherry) back in the 90's..... Rebujito 2 ounces Sherry (Tio Pepe) 4 ounces 7 - up 3 sprigs Mint

Both amazing cocktails and for people who love sherry are must-try. I grew on Sherry a few years ago and had both of these cocktails but if I have to choose a favourite it will be the Bamboo 👍

[@AndersErickson]

I know you love a good sherry! Cheers to you, my friend!

[@GrotrianSeiler]

.because I’m too busy at home drinking sweet vermouth on ice. A perfect sipper.

[@ReaganAndLincolnFan]

Another great video! I have a suggestion that’d I’d love to see you cover! It’s a cold weather, bourbon based cocktail called “The Hunter,” made popular by Japanese bartender Hidetsugu Ueno at his High Five bar in Ginzo, Tokyo. It looks delicious, but i haven’t seen a high-quality bartending channel feature it before. Could be tasty!

[@EricAAnderson]

I appreciate this channel. Time to buy some good sherry!

[@stephenmarseille5425]

Cool stuff! That said, I (very mildly and gently) object to the notion that the 'blanc' vermouth is closer to dry vermouth than sweet vermouth. I've only knowingly had three blanc vermouths - Dolin, Carpano, and Baldoria - but I find all three to be *quite* sweet. WAY more sweet than 'dry' vermouth. I feel like your take on the Bamboo is thus in fact a third variant on this sherry/vermouth/bitters theme.

[@robertgrenader858]

Ok, the Adonis is really smooth. Next, I'll try the Bamboo.

Can you make a video where you can say something about the storage / shelf life of opened spirits (sherry, liqueur, syrups) in the fridge or room temperature. Shelf life of bitters and how best to freeze a homemade syrup. Thanks

[@jobinvarughese9908]

Seen every video and I keep laughing when you almost forget about glassware. Wonder if you should have a time stamp (ie. glassware- chilled or not and which glass). You could build it in like you do with the history and the booze. One of only two channels I have ever actually subscribed to. Great style and humor as well as phenomenal videography by Az. Like people have said in the past it really feels like hanging out with friends watching your channel. Thanks for making it light and fun.

[@simontretera3231]

I love your videos. Learned many drinks, try most of them and for a long time my most favourite was long island, but after i made your version of Old Fashioned my list changed. And i might try these cocktails as well when i get my hands on sherry. I love your videos, you got to know what you making and versions on that Love from Czech Republic😉🙋‍♂️

Enjoy it, Kevin! Glad the timing worked out so well!

New subscriber, awesome channel, many awesome suggestions and tips. Thanks! I've already stocked my bar with several bottles you recommended. Sorry if you covered it already and sorry this isn't related to sherry, but is there anything interesting to be done with Aqua Vit? Don't see it used often and I somehow ended up with a lot of it...

[@chelmsfordessex]

Hey Anders, love your channel ! Could you look to do a review on a rum called, Juggling King Rum?! It’s a Guernsey based, seed to bottle rum! Meaning they grow the sugar cane. If you message the company direct, they may be able to give you the new dark spiced rum and flavoured rums they’re about to release, as currently their white rum is the only one available to the public !

[@VanGoreYT]

[@joserosado4667]

Another awesome cocktail video! I have been stocking up my home bar since subscribing to your channel.
