Thanks @Glen, it is always a pleasure to see you make a recipe from that book. My well used copy of the book lost its spine many years ago and is held together with tape. Nonetheless, it is a treasured heirloom from my grandfather. Not having any vodka in the house I went for the next cocktail on the page - The Barbary Coast, where gin and scotch replace the vodka. That was a hit, cheers!

I drink one part dark rum, one part coffee liqueur, and two parts coffee cream, which is very good. It's along the same lines as this, but I don't like vodka.

👍

Would substituting an egg white give the creaminess without the cream heaviness? Just wondering out loud.

I thought that was close a white Russian but with chocolate instead of coffee. It seems like a nice winter drink.. maybe with a dusting of cocoa or nutmeg

After an afternoon playing in the snow, maybe shoveling or building a snow man. That as a hot beverage sounds comforting. Feet up by the fire type of evening.

Thanks for re-posting these older videos to the new channel. Happy New Year! 🥳🎉 I am sad that the "Barbara" includes vodka, because that is NOT my beverage at all, at all. But my niece and late mother are Barbaras, so of course I had to check this one out. Thanks again for all you do... and cheers to more cocktail adventures in 2025! 🥂🍾😄👍

Happy new year! This looks like the beginnings of the black Russian, white Russian and the mudslide.

Anyone knows when will start getting new episodes of cocktails after dark?

Totally get going for a different look for the cocktails channel, but this one feels just a little to dark to me. Love the actual content though as always!

Happy New year!!

Happy New Year! cheers! 🥂

I wonder if you made it with hot milk and had whipped cream on top instead.

As for a spiced rum that I enjoy, I like the Chairman's Reserve Spiced Rum. The Cable Car is a good spiced rum cocktail.

what's the web set for the tequila?

😊

The Diplomatico is great even on its own. Love it and I’m not even a big rum drinker.

I have found that if I try a drink that is too sweet. I switch to a taller glass and add a spritz of soda to help cut that sweetness.

So are you saying Dubonnet here in canada would be a suitable substitute for Byrrh?

Spiced rum is an abomination, really. The Lazzaroni amaretto might be the only one worth drinking. Flavored rums have displaced good rum from the store shelves.

I drink very little but I enjoy these videos a great deal.

I remember when you could get a room at the Waldorf for a week with five pigeon feathers and a promise from your mother! The times have changed, indeed.

Bonne heureuse année ❤

Also bitter tastes were much more popular with some trendsetters

I got some Nick and Nora glasses for Christmas, because I always comment how much I like yours so much. Happy New Year!

Well, this video MADE me go searching the internet. There is a company called Rovero from Asti that makes a red Calisaya, but it looks like it's almost impossible to get outside of the EU.

What's up with the video title

I was feeling so much déjà vu! So glad you referenced the other cocktail because they definitely seemed interchangeable

I always prefer rich simply syrup because it’s more authentic for old cocktail recipes. Rich syrup used to be used exclusively back in the 19th and early 20th century because it doesn’t need refrigeration.

I do like Rusty Nail.

I really think y’all need a glass of water to drink in between tasting each drink! This was very interesting, TFS!

Last I checked, my nearest location of Totat Wine and Spirits, a chain of liquor stores with a fairly large building at each location, had exactly one type of Old Tom Gin and no Genever at all. Mostly they sell flavored distilled liquors from major brands (and a lot of wine), and seem in a hurry to stop selling anything distinctive and interesting.

Tossed the rum?!? That's not to be done, the great thing about booze (25%+) is it's one of the few 'foods' that never go bad😊 Cheers🥂🇨🇦

Just what I would have said

Memories of Singapore Slings...

Dollar a gram for decent balsamic vinegar is about typical.

I’m in south Florida. The key limes in the stores are tiny, green, underripe, and seldom juicy. The ones in local trees are yellow (because ripe), nearly spherical, almost the size of a Persian lime if not bigger, and quite juicy. I’m told that in much of Mexico they’re called límon… To me, today’s Bacardi has a note of benzene smell, as in C6H6, the benzene-ring stuff. I know the smell from organic chemistry lab forty years ago, when we didn’t take care to avoid it.

Hey Glen, noticed in a couple of your vids that the metal rings and snaps on this particular apron you're wearing are being picked up on your mic. Appreciate the great content! Thanks.

Wow

I was in total suspense about how Glen would react to the second one.

If you look at old photos of places in France, there’s a span of many decades in which there’s an excellent chance that there’s an advertisement for Byrrh in them. It was that heavily promoted and presumably that popular.

Part history lesson part alchemy lesson. 👍

This sounds delicious. On "Sex and the City" they drank Cosmopolitans. I don't remember them ever thinking of chocolate martini, but I could be wrong.

There are so, so many different flavors And types of gin. I've been doing gin advent calendars for a couple of years now. Such an education. I love a lot of gins but there are some that I absolutely loath. I'm learning what to look for now. Love these old recipe cocktail videos and especially love that you try the recipes with more than one version of a spirit.

Beer, Byrrh, 🐻

I’ll have to try this. I’m a fan of tequila and amaretto (called a Black Cat when served to me). I thought it would be too sweet, but also pleasant for one.
