ANOTHER really interesting cocktail you've showcased! I will definitely be trying this one out this weekend. I love these riffs on the old fashioned template... last time with the pina colada old fashioned (by the way, my rum is still be infused with the coconut and can't wait to try that too).
Cool video man. Erick Castro is a beast. His instagram always shows him having a great time. I've been to his other bar, Raised By Wolves and it's fantastic. Just make sure you eat before you go. This cocktail gives me and idea for a cocktail. I think i'll actually go make it now. I'll send you a picture once i'm done. Cheers good sir.
Erick Castro is tier one modern bartenders. Crazy how many modern classics he has and the not to mention his successful bar operations. Cheers, brother!
This sounds super interesting. Now would Cynar be considered a biter? Bc if so this Would have all the ingredients so an old fashioned and could be added to my list on my old fashioned journey
Hey Doc, as mentioned below, amaro means bitter but amaro tends to be lower ABV than a traditional “bitters” like Angostura and less potent. More suitable to use as your bitter AND sugar in an OF (two for one).
Hey Vino, good to see another cocktail. Good looking drink. I like the Rocks glass as well. Cheers my friend. I am off to Vegas. Back in a couple of weeks.
As the song goes, these are a few of my favorite things! Cynar is definitely a favorite of mine for cocktails, along with Montenegro and Nonino. I’m pretty sure my usual honey syrup is more like 3:1… since you noted that there wasn’t much honey flavor in yours I might just try it that way and see how it comes out. If it’s too sweet I’ll think of something:)
You named three of my favorite amaro but I'm an amari groupie, so I like them all. haha! I'll be interested in hearing how yours turns out with the 3:1. Cheers, pal! ✌🏾
@@CoachVinoLLC Tried it tonight...with the 3:1 syrup I do get some honey flavor at the end, but still not very much. This isn't over sweet anyway. 🤷♂ I will say that I forgot the salt at first and then added it in, and this really does make a difference. Salt . . . it's just magic
I'm probably not the Tim you were looking for . . . but I mix a boatload of cocktails with Cynar, that usually my first thing to try substituting for sweet vermouth. But then Averna is the classic to make a Black Manhattan, and Amaro Nonino is wonderfully complex and works in lots of drinks as well. Amaro Ciociaro kinda works to make a Brooklyn since you probably can't find Amer Picon. As rabbit holes in the booze world go, Amari (Amaros?) is a pretty inexpensive one to explore!
What’s your favorite amaro to use in cocktails? 🥃
I'm going with Cynar, all day!!!
I'm a big fan of Averna. Have not tried Cynar yet but might need to get a bottle!
Cynar, all day!!
Italian Buck with Cynar and Montenegro is a great one
@@havardmelsom3076 OOoo!! This is one I haven't tried yet!!! Nice call!!!
havent made much mezcal drinks this summer.. this one looks awesome! it's on the list! cheers!
I'm surprised you haven't done more with mezcal seeing how much you love the smoke. 💨
Making this as soon as we get home…. Seems so good!
Made a couple this weekend for friends. They all dug it!
Love Cynar! 🙂
Hard not to. It's so dang good!

In my opinion, the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan are the best two cocktails to riff on. You can have LOTS of fun with it. Cheers, pal! ✌🏾
LOVE IT, LOVE IT , LOVE IT!!! I'm almost done for the week and heading for home from Oklahoma City. Can't wait to make this one Coach
Safe travels home, Eric. You deserve one (or two) of these bad boys. Have a great weekend. Cheers, brother! ✌🏾
@CoachVinoLLC thanks brother, made it to the yard now
Cam says it sounds like a run to the store for us is in order, only way to try it is to have the cynar
I don’t want to be a bad influence or anything. 😉

I am what that drink is called. Thus it will be super tasty!!!!
Ha! Hey, if being salty is wrong, then I don't want you to be right.

DOC!!! I wouldn't consider Cynar a bitter, but one could use it as a sweetener in an OF for sure!! Such a versatile Amaro!!!
Yes, "Amaro" means bitter in Italian!
@@Jaw656 You are totally correct!!! I need to do better!!

Any you or Tim recommend
If you haven't already, try a Cynar Martinez. It's my go to sip!!!

Any Tim is a good Tim around these parts! Yes, the amari rabbit whole is one to thread carefully. 😅
Hey Vino, you had me a mezcal, and i want it.
It's a yummy one, David!
