With 20 years behind the bar (and still counting), I wanted to share what I've learned and hopefully inspire you to make even better cocktails at home, or at the bar you work at! I like to cover a little bit of history and/or background of the drinks I make, and I also share hacks to make your life hopefully a bit easier when mixing things up. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have! I'll see you soon my friends!

JOHAN!!! 4 out of 5 of these, I can make blindfolded!!! 1, I need serious practice!!!
Haha, which one??
@@WhiskeySugarBitters Irish coffee. I haven't make enough to get it right. I'm surprised the Daiquiri wasn't on this list...
@@WhiskeySugarBitters Irish coffee. I def need to practice. I'm surprised the Daiquiri wasn't on this list....
Johan, what recipe would you suggest for a simple, non-frozen, Pina colada?
Matt!! Do literally the same as this. Just use rum instead. And maybe try a rum that is aged, has a little bit more flavor than just white rum.
Yoooo had no idea it had a name lol I do the same thing but instead of club soda I use tonic
Now you know! 😃👍🏻
Great sipper for hot weather!
Right??
JOHAN!!! This is def a great sip!!! I could possibly make this blindfolded!!!
Haha, I know you could! Hard to mess up 😁
@@WhiskeySugarBitters Check me out 1 week from today. Man, have I got a cocktail for you!!!
JOHAN!!! I need to revisit this!!! This is a great looking cocktail for sure!! CHEERS to you my brother!!!
Cheers my friend ☺️
Great recipe thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Mezcal is not a Smokey tequila! 😂 go to Mexico and get schooled ❤
I can't tell if you're someone I know just messing with me..
I would like to know where you found that coupe glass?! It's sooo cute! 😍
At your mom's house! 😃
good
🙂👍
JOHAN!!! Great tips, especially for folks who say they don't like gin!! I've got something for 'em!!!
Ha! Me too!
In the french alps, this would kill.
Ooooo, I can see that! 🗻🍹
@@WhiskeySugarBitters just don't say "shartroose" in Grenoble, they'll be really mad. It's pronounced like "shartruhz".
How did you just pour the bitters? My bitters bottle can only be served in dashes.
Use a knife to carefully take off that plastic top on the bottle. It comes off easy and you can pop it back on if you want to :)
It is not maraskino lol
Pronunciation you mean?
Does anyone find crème d violette a bit synthetic? … I looked at the ingredients and there’s a few dodgy e numbers
I'm sure they like to add some stuff to give it that extra purple color and flavor 😕🤷🏻♂️
@@WhiskeySugarBitters thanks for the response. I think its the brand I'm using. I will spend a bit more and upgrade. A little does go a long way with liquors
@@forumknight that could be it! I use Rothman And Winter :)
I made both and I prefer the water Lily more. 😊thanks for the tip.
There you go! That's all we can do- try new things and find what we like 😃 Thanks for watching!
Happy Halloween 👻 🎃 I’d definitely order a drink from you 🥃
One day maybe you will! 🎃
Happy Halloween to all goblins and ghouls!!!!
Happy Halloween Tim 😈
Too much work for a corona 😂
🤣
it is NOT to squeeze into your drink!
Absolutely NOT!
so true
I'm just out here dropping wisdom 😁
JOHAN!! Now you're "Cutting to the chase"!! This def a great tip!!! NO crappy wedges are allowed!!!
😁
thought this was that dude that talks about prison
It's the guy that ALMOST went to prison once 😬
Now your ready to make a Caipirinha! 😋
Damn straight! Having one right now 😉
EXACTLY!!!
A 3/4 of simple syrup to the water lily rounds it out. Yum
I'm sorry, you add simple syrup to it?
yes to everything!
😁👍
I don't have any orange liqueur but I do have a Tanqueray Sevilla Orange gin. Can I just ditch the liqueur in this case or would you modify the amount of vermouth, campari and gin?
Hmm...If you don't have the orange liqueur it will be kinda close to a Negroni. The Sevilla Orange is slightly sweeter than a regular gin, but not as sweet as it would be with the orange liqueur, so perhaps add a 1/4 oz of simple syrup? That will balance the sweetness a little bit and hopefully pull out more orange notes from the gin. Either way, I highly recommend investing in an orange liqueur. It's used in SO many cocktails :) Try Combier, Pierre Ferrand, or Cointreau!
This is great info Johan.
Thanks David! Hoping it helps someone 😁 Over the years, this is something a lot of people ask me about.
Very talented to make 3 different drinks same time!
Thanks man, I try to be more and more efficient 🙂
I have not, but I need to!
Indeed! Swing by the bar anytime!
@@WhiskeySugarBitters heading there for a wedding next month, if we can swing it we will!
@@will5430 If you can, come say hi to me 🙂
@@WhiskeySugarBitters will do!
JOHAN!!! All of these look awesome, but I love Mezcal/Tequila combo in any cocktail!!!
It's a good one Tim!
Oh my! I would definitely start with the 1st cocktail built with Miso/Arugula/Lime, Gin and Italicus. 2nd choice is the Tequila and Mezcal cocktail and for the Gran Finale the bourbon variation of an Old Fashioned. I am sure the 3 are great choices. Thank you for sharing buddy! Keep crushing it. 💥🪄🔥❤️
Just stop by the bar next time you're in town and I'll make you whatever you want 😉
Which one would you try? Let me know in the comments!
Original is withouth apsent
Oh yeah? But everything else is right? 😁
Could not agree more. Heck old recipe books even list it as spirit of choice. I’ll have a Canadian Rye Old Fashioned please with maple syrup
Exactly. And yes please, make me one of those too! 😁
Uhhhhhhmayzin!!!! I love these too, sometimes I like to add Dry Curacao. 😋👍
Another great way to "improve"! Love it!
JOHAN!!! This is one of my fav Old Fashioned!!!! You show me this, years ago, and I still love it!!!!
Yessir!! This is a good one!
That absinthe ruins it!
Completely! 😁
Bourbon is whiskey (perfected)!
JOHAN!!! These are dynamite tips!!! I think I'd actually be nervous being a Bartender....
I was nervous in the beginning! 😆 Not so much anymore.
Thank you for the Monte Carlo in Asheville last month! You made a suggestion to an old fashioned order we made and I’m so happy you did. I’ve been making them at home in Alaska!
That's awesome man!! I remember you. Came in 2 nights and brought a friend second time right? Sat by the window?
@@WhiskeySugarBitters yes sir! I’ll be back this week as well! I’m looking forward to it!
@@callsign_actual I will see you then! 😀
Vodka old fashioned now that sounds crazy haha! I like mine made with Rare Breed! 🦃😋
Haha 🤷🏻♂️ Rare Breed! Good choice 👌👌
JOHAN!!! I really enjoy a good Old Fashioned. Using different spirits is the coolest part of it!
Rye makes a mean Old Fashioned
Agreed!
YUP!!!
That was a real round about way of saying, “all bourbon is whiskey BUT not all whiskey is bourbon”
Haha, true! This was actually a response to a TikTok comment.
Can i change the mezcal for bourbon?
Try it! I'm sure it'll be good too 👍
Please share variatios of this cocktail... 😊
Variations of the Old Fashioned? Did you see the Improved Whiskey Cocktail?
Such a good video! Well put together..
Thank you Steve! That means a lot coming from you especially! 🙏
Great tips!
