We are going to try the Tequila one, but our LCBO doesn't sell ginger bitters, where is it available? Many thanks!

Sounds like an easy quick margarita if only doing Tequila/Mezcal and Limoncello

Best scotch is the scotch you like best!

Spice and tequila/mezcal always is a great pairing!

So my thought is to try to re-jigger it to balance the drink so that in flavour it's more split between the vermouth and the absinthe. Maybe try 2:1 or 3:1, and if it starts to get too sweet, start cutting the sweet vermouth with dry vermouth from the same maker. I'd be tempted to go with Cocchi. Also, to up the orange, instead of more bitters, express an orange peel over the drink and then you'll certainly get it on the nose blending with the absinthe. Might also be interesting to then evolve it into a cocktail with a base spirit like rye as a Manhattan variation, or gin.

Thank you for video > the technic is my takeaway cheers

Cheers! 🍸🍸

And then the meeting starts 😉

Just tried this and I have to say... I could go for more than one 😅 Also, made it with Beefeater, because that is the one I had at home. Still fine I'd say.

“Garnish with a spicy pickled bean.” So this is meant for the man-bun, skinny jeans, and mustache wax crowd, huh?

Love that you're using Dillon's absinthe! I'm a huge fan of their work and try to stop by their distillery whenever I'm down in Niagara.

Called a Rusty Nail here in Georgia. I prefer with Chivas.

How about rimming the glass with celery salt & Tajin? Personally I think the coupé glass lends a definite elegance to the cocktail. I’ll give it a whirl. I’ll even sub out my normal Clamato juice…

You’d think these would be stirred not shaken.

I’ve never made it with key limes, but ai will now. I usually like to use a more flavorful rum for my daiquiris. Probitas (Veritas) works well. I’ve used Ron del Barrilito 2 and 3 star before, which also works well. If you want to bump up the flavor even more, then a Jamaican Overproof can be great. To me, though, the best daiquiri is a ti’ punch. The flavorful grassiness of cane juice based rum is perfect.

Another thing of incredible note on Pickford: At the age of 27, she founded United Artists with Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith. She was Hollywood's first millionaire. Quite an amazing actress and business woman. Love this series.

I've become a big St. George's fan. Particularly their dry rye, but everything I've tried from them is excellent.

I like absinthe, but a lot of people don’t.

I would probably just add a dash of the syrup, I am the most sugar averse person I've ever met, but I love a tart, refreshing drink after a meal.

Or as Nick said to Nora in The Thin Man, as they woke up after a bender, “Let’s have a drink, honey, to cut the phlegm! “ 😎

Where do you get your glassware?

Ever time he says “Nick and Nora”, I assume it’s rhyming slang.

I was expecting rum not gin. Then I remembered that Hawaii was a British colony before we owned it. So gin makes sense.

Wow

Thanks for this video and the recipe. Based on your reactions, I updated the grenadine to 1/3oz, added a bar spoon of absinthe, 2 dashes of Scrappy's Black Lemon Bitters, and expressed lemon oil. Not bad IMO!

I'm quite partial to absinthe and sweet vermouth so this sounds right up my alley. I'm surprised I missed tha the first time around but i can make up for lost time now. Thanks for bringing this one to our attention.

Glen I think at the bottom of that recipe “Frappe” implies this would be dumped over and mixed with shaved ice. That’s how I read it from the page you shared on screen. Those that were stirred and strained noted that.

Love that book and found how there are many recipes that are just a smidge different. Looking at Bradford / Brighton(no garnish 1 dash bitters) / Gold (no garnish, 1 dash bitters, frappé) / Olivet (1 dash bitters olive garnish) / Yale (no garnish add seltzer), all the other components are identical. I guess if I want to make a Brighton but accidently added 1 extra dash of bitters... :P

Is this an old video re-upload ?

Since its called creole cocktail, and you think the orange adds nothing, what about adding a different more punchy bitters like a creole bitter?

Hair looking good Glen <3

Might want to try getting some other styles of Absinthe in your cabinet! If you're not a huge fan of the overwhelming anise flavor (which I am also not) something like La Clandestine which is a blanche style rather than a vert might be a fun comparison.

Not a fan of licorice. So not for me.

So when they said Frappe they didn't mean for this to be served with crushed or shaved ice?

This would probably be a great digestif after a heavy thanksgiving meal :D

If you juiced a fresh tomato, it would add much to the flavor.

cheers! 🥂

Too bad. This sounds like a drink that I’d like. I might try it sometime just out of curiosity.

That is a powerful cocktail.

How do you make your clear ice? Is there an existing video for that?

When a template is so easy it can be so customized.

Italian pronunciation: schi = ski; sci = shi. Not sure how the brand likes to call itself in the US or Canada, though. (Where I live, the cosmetics brand Garnier decided officially that it's local pronunciation would be with the r at the end audible, much to the consternation of my French studying friends at the time.)

Now I want some v8 or tomato juice,,,, or a red beer. Love a dash of lemon pepper. I know I have a few cans of v8 in the fridge will see if they are expired.

I have serious maple syrup envy. Also, too bad I am watching this at 9 am, now I want a drink!! It is my day off...

I would like for you to make a cocktail made with malort....

Making history while making history 😁 Congrats!

Tanqueray is my favorite gin! Definitely should make a G&T

It's nice revisiting some of your older videos that might've gotten lost in the algorithm's shuffle.
