@Cocktail Chemistry Hey Nick, I bought a bottle of _Chivas Regal Mizunara 12yr._ the other day. If you have drunk this type of scotch, I’d like to ask your recommended way of drinking it.
3 more months of quarantine and the recipes will be "you only need 2 ingredients. Vodka, and ice (optional). Pour it directly into your mouth and try to remember what trees look like"
I think what really appeals to me about this series is it presents the "how's and why's" of mixed drinks from a different perspective. Instead of focusing on a single drink, your approach presents a set of drinks based on a single spirit. This in turn can now be compared with your next video based on a different spirit. It's an entertaining but effective way to profile flavors, techniques, and the relationship of ingredients. Hands down my favorite series from any channel highlighting cocktails.
Not to mention it speaks to people who are just getting into cocktails since it's often the case that we have alcohol but not necessarily the know how of what to make with it.
That is, in fact, the best way to make an old fashioned. That combination of rye spice, maple and orange is my favorite cocktail. Period. Just find a rye and syrup you really like and it's heavenly.
In the past, I made an old fashioned using (commercial) moonshine, orange bitters, and a sugar cube. I've seen variants using black walnut bitters and agave syrup.
So far I have made the Irish Coffee using your recipe both with espresso(americano) and with pour over decaf. Both were great. I am very impressed with Old Pepper. My favorite cocktail right now. Your ratios are perfect for this drink and sits very well in a coupe glass.
I love the simple simple cocktail videos! So accessible. I think it would be great to see all the usual suspects: rum, tequila, vodka (i guess). Keep this easy train goin!
Happy mistak. Brown derby. Ii made this with lemon juice and JP wisers 15 yeaaarr. Dry shake firs than cold. Still really balanced. The dry shake adds a nice foam and texture on the well balanced 3 ingredient cocktail. Great video
Fantastic! More Please. I love this new series, The 5 EASIEST ______ Cocktails. I'm certain that no matter what spirit you choose to fill in the blank with that it'll be refreshing and go down easy with all
I've been experimenting with my old fashioned lately and one version I really enjoy is 1 oz Bourbon 1oz Applejack Barspoon of Maple Syrup And a couple dashes of chocolate bitters
For the irish coffee, as well as your milk being too thick: Stir the coffee/water/sugar/whiskey prior to adding the cream with your barspoon. This prevents the cream from dropping as in the video leaving poor delineation between black and white, as well as making the bottom layer opaque, colloidal and murky. You should aim for a see-through, crisp, black bottom layer and perfectly demarcated white cream on top.
Looks great and glad I can use some of the bourbon I have on hand. Would love to see you do a video with Maraschino liqueur. Right now I've got a bottle I've mostly just been using for Last Words but would be excited to see what you could come up with for it!
I am a gin girl but these "Whiskey Cocktails" make my mouth water! :-) What about wine? Is there anything in your cocktail arsenal for an episode of wine libations --- is there such a thing? ;-) Thanks for another wonderful episode!
Great video as always. I'd say that vodka or rhum or tequila is the logical next step, I'd personally go with vodka but I think most people would prefer rhum.
I really haven't been to a bar that could or would server these exotic drinks. I'll have to look around or spend the cash for the ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
gotta go with a Family Meal for a whisky cocktail: 1 part bourbon 1/4 part coldbrew coffee concentrate, or because of the covid-19 situation, I haven't gone to look for concentrate, 1 part coldbrew coffee Over ice, top with cola Used to be a whisky and cola kind of guy but this is really easy to do and it's a nice change.
as far as a main spirit, i vote rum next! maybe you've already done it, but i think a study of vermouth (which ones have which flavor notes, and go best with which drinks) would be really neat too!
Oh man. This whiskey sour is gonna be a new favorite I think. Never would have thought to put an egg white in there but dang is this tasty! That recipe alone gets you a like and a subscribe.
My take on the old pepper! I used Frank's Red Hot sauce simple syrup lemon juice whiskey Worcestershire (I added a "half" tsp of liquid smoke as well) Finally, I subbed BBQ seasoning instead of pepper! I'm not necessarily one for whiskey, but there's an interesting taste with that Frank's Red Hot that makes this interesting
I would love to see a five cocktails for limoncello. I make that so I have it around fairly often. I usually make a sour or a fizzy lemonade by adding seltzer, flavored or plain, to a sour.
I love your videos, informative and really really well presented. Having just started my cocktail "career" and based on your series of 5 (Gin, Whisk(e)y) could you do a session on "The 5 cocktails you must be able to make" - irrespective of which alcohol is the base???
Low-ABV "build in the glass" cocktails is something I would like to see more of. Or atleast Low-ABV cocktails that I can prepare a picther of... I need something I can drink more of now i find, without getting hammared, just to pass the time :P
The sound wave enhanced flavor os an actual thing. The basically use an ultrasonic cleaner to speed up aging. Theres a video on it by thought emporium.
I've just seen a variant of an old fashioned straight from a Chivas Regal Ambassador Poland. She (yes, it's a girl, a bartender) used a technique called fat wash. To do this cocktail she used the following ingredients: 300 ml of Chivas 18 60 grams of coconut oil 1 and a half vanilla pod. She started with extracting seeds from half of the pod and gently heating it up with the remaining whole pod and coconut oil in a pan over a medium heat. Once the oil turned liquid she put it into a jar adding the whiskey. Then she closed the jar gave it a solid shake and set aside to a warm place for 24 hours shaking it up from time to time. After the 24 hours she put it in a freezer overnight to separate oil from the alcohol. Then she filtered the mixture through a fine sieft to separate liquid from fat and vanilla pod and seeds. That was her base for a cocktail and then she did almost exactly what you did here (she stirred it with ice and poured over fresh cubes to and old fashioned glass, zested an orange, expressed the oils and put it in the glass), except she skipped the bitters. Sounds interesting, though...
Would be very interested to see what you can do with calvados, I’m sure it’s just the same as any brandy but play with apple flavours would be interesting.
I’m definitely going to try the Old Pepper and I love the idea of Maple Syrup in an old fashioned. I’ve discovered my favorite bitters in a Whiskey Sour are Peychaud’s.
The Irish coffee is probably the only cocktail that I don't measure. Sugar in the glass. Fill with coffee to the lower edge of the top 'handle attachment' and stir. Add whiskey to the top edge of the handle. Top with cream til it almost spills. Pouring the cream over the back of a spoon is a big help.
I personally think you should always have your ad blocker off. Yeah, there are some TH-cam content creators that make gaillions but the vast majority do not. We have tremendous choice nowadays with regards to what we're able to view and I'm thankful for that. If all the creators want us to do is watch an advertisement, then that seems like fair payment to me.
Ive only ever owned 5 bottles of whiskey, and you used 2 of them in this video! And then the heavy whipping cream from my hometown! Clover dairy is the best!
What size/volume is the coupe glass for the Old Pepper? Actually might be useful to have the size/volume for all the drinks... i am at brown derby and would want the size of that coupe as well (if its not the same)

Do a version 5 easiest cognac cocktails
Thank you for this great public service during these difficult times.
Hhahhahaa
3 more months of quarantine and the recipes will be "you only need 2 ingredients. Vodka, and ice (optional). Pour it directly into your mouth and try to remember what trees look like"
Thank God it didn't (quite) come to that lol
almost feels like that, three months later
thanks doing that now
4 months ago I started drinking this quarantini. I no longer remember what a tree looks like, even though my family insists I live in a forest.
I hate that I will look back on this comment one day and remember it fondly as "the time we still thought the quarantine might go on for months"
I think what really appeals to me about this series is it presents the "how's and why's" of mixed drinks from a different perspective.

Agree completely!

I just saw that you have around 500 likes and no dislike!! This definitely shows that your videos are the best!
“BALCKENED IN THE AIR!!!!”
Blackened is a whisky created for Metallica.
guess you misspelled there buddy
Also by Metallica 🤘 hopefully I can try that one day!
It is Metallica’s whiskey
It's "Blackened is the end"
Man I gotta start getting more fancy. So many cocktails out there and so easy to make.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to make an egg white whiskey sour but I was too afraid but I’m so glad it tried!
Your Ol' Fashioned with the rye and maple is exactly how I do mine up, but I've never tried it with the lemon. Have to give that a shot next time!
So glad you uploaded this in a Friday, I have been waiting for a excuse ( other than it's a day that ends in Y) to make cocktails
I love the simple simple cocktail videos! So accessible. I think it would be great to see all the usual suspects: rum, tequila, vodka (i guess). Keep this easy train goin!
Love the background music. I listen to Take Five often to relax.
Love the Blackened whiskey, some of the best sounds i've ever tasted!
Boulevardier is my favorite whiskey/bourbon cocktail of all time. I never thought my love for old fashioneds could be eclipsed but here we are.
Damn, using Red Breast for Irish coffee is baller. I just use Paddy's.
ivscigu, agreed. Red breast is too good to mix. Jameson's would be my choice.
@@makelikeatree1696 my understanding is Jameson is the original recipe. It is the only one I have ever used because my Irish whiskey knowledge sucks.
I am so glad I found this again... you are one hell of a person... a great video
Happy mistak. Brown derby. Ii made this with lemon juice and JP wisers 15 yeaaarr. Dry shake firs than cold. Still really balanced. The dry shake adds a nice foam and texture on the well balanced 3 ingredient cocktail. Great video
Yes! I thought I was being a bit odd putting maple syrup in my old fashioned - it works so well.
Egg white whiskey sour is undoubtedly my favorite drink of all time.
These look amazing! Best of all you make them look very simple to do. I’ll definitely give a few of them a try!
Fantastic! More Please. I love this new series, The 5 EASIEST ______ Cocktails. I'm certain that no matter what spirit you choose to fill in the blank with that it'll be refreshing and go down easy with all
I went pretty liberal with the hotsauce in my old pepper and had a good laugh at how hot it turned out, but it was a delicious and well balanced drink
I absolutely love most of your content and its presentation. I use the channel all the time to mix artisan cocktails at home 🙂
I've been experimenting with my old fashioned lately and one version I really enjoy is
1 oz Bourbon
1oz Applejack
Barspoon of Maple Syrup
And a couple dashes of chocolate bitters
Sounds awesome
"Let's get frisky with some whisky"
New favorite catchphrase
For the irish coffee, as well as your milk being too thick:
Stir the coffee/water/sugar/whiskey prior to adding the cream with your barspoon. This prevents the cream from dropping as in the video leaving poor delineation between black and white, as well as making the bottom layer opaque, colloidal and murky. You should aim for a see-through, crisp, black bottom layer and perfectly demarcated white cream on top.
Like the perfect pint of Stout Noel lol
I'd love to see an Islay scotch cocktail recipe, I love that smokey flavor!
Check out the penicillin! Also, the whiskey sour with islay scotch is excellent
I’m a fan of:
2 oz Islay scotch
.75 oz lemon juice
.75 oz honey syrup
Better with smoke forward than peat forward but still good.
I'm loving the "Just Take Five" in the BG
Could we get more savory cocktails recipes? Loved the Old Pepper. Thanks for your videos.
Looks great and glad I can use some of the bourbon I have on hand.
Would love to see you do a video with Maraschino liqueur. Right now I've got a bottle I've mostly just been using for Last Words but would be excited to see what you could come up with for it!
My sister just gave whiskey and a cocktail set for my birthday, now i gota make use of it
I use brown sugar syrup (2:1) and add two dashes of orange bitters for old fashioned.
The Old Pepper seems very similar to the Prairie Oyster - minus the raw egg yolk and panicked ‘down the hatch as quick as you can’ gulp.
2:44 "whiskey business"... wonderfully awful pun. Well played.
someone call Josh Weissman, we got a case of catchphrase infringement
Yea, it was pretty... neat
Definitely a vote for rum next!
Great video! Gotta make each of these!
I tried the dry shake for the egg white in the Whiskey Sour and it worked so well!!
Love this series! Rum or tequila next?
wow I just tried the whiskey sour and it was stunning, thank you for this beacon of hope in these trying times
Love this! Any chance of doing rum next?
Oh man! I didn't hesitate to subscribe. Great work!
I am a gin girl but these "Whiskey Cocktails" make my mouth water! :-) What about wine? Is there anything in your cocktail arsenal for an episode of wine libations --- is there such a thing? ;-) Thanks for another wonderful episode!
This is definitely the video that has gotten me into making cocktails
Great video as always. I'd say that vodka or rhum or tequila is the logical next step, I'd personally go with vodka but I think most people would prefer rhum.
I really haven't been to a bar that could or would server these exotic drinks. I'll have to look around or spend the cash for the ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
starting the day with irish cofee. "I swear im a bar officionado , not an alcoholic..."
gotta go with a Family Meal for a whisky cocktail:
1 part bourbon
1/4 part coldbrew coffee concentrate, or because of the covid-19 situation, I haven't gone to look for concentrate, 1 part coldbrew coffee
Over ice, top with cola
Used to be a whisky and cola kind of guy but this is really easy to do and it's a nice change.
as far as a main spirit, i vote rum next! maybe you've already done it, but i think a study of vermouth (which ones have which flavor notes, and go best with which drinks) would be really neat too!
Very simple to make but exotic cocktails, that’s what I liked most.
I love an old fashioned. I'll have to try your recipe.
Got a cocktail mixer set yesterday, looking to work my way through these lists!
Noice! I'd prefer a Rusty Nail or a Boulevardier - but if I didn't have those ingredients...
I love this guy, I'd love to have a drink with him.
I think I am getting drunk tonight! Perfect timing 👌
Just tried the Old Pepper. That combination of sweet sour and hot is sooo good. Thank you so much
You should do 5 cognac cocktails. Would love to see that. Cheers!
While rum is definitely a strong contender, I still feel like Tequila would be nice.
Rum > tequila
scurvy juice
I definitely need to make all of these but especially the whiskey sour! I appreciate these simple recipes!
Oh man. This whiskey sour is gonna be a new favorite I think. Never would have thought to put an egg white in there but dang is this tasty! That recipe alone gets you a like and a subscribe.
My take on the old pepper!
I used Frank's Red Hot sauce
simple syrup
lemon juice
whiskey
Worcestershire (I added a "half" tsp of liquid smoke as well)
Finally, I subbed BBQ seasoning instead of pepper!
I'm not necessarily one for whiskey, but there's an interesting taste with that Frank's Red Hot that makes this interesting
I would love to see all the spirits, these are great. Helps me stay refreshed in my bartending game. Something obscure would be nice as well.
I would love a video on Cognac cocktails.
I have your Vodka Soda t-shirt and would buy the hell out of a “Frisky with Whisky” tee!!! 🤣🤜🏻🤛🏻
Ah, yessss, give me more recipes Nick, I need Variety!
I'm going to have to try that Irish coffee. Sounds delicious!
Thanks for another great video! Would love to see some Sake cocktail recipes, if you have any.
Could you do a video on rum cocktails? I feel like they'd be pretty interesting.
Is the simple syrup / honey syrup equal parts by weight or volume?
Volume. By weight it would be 150g honey to 100g water
Cocktail Chemistry thanks, you’re the man. Keep up the great work, I’m about to make every one of these recipes tonight
I would love to see a five cocktails for limoncello. I make that so I have it around fairly often. I usually make a sour or a fizzy lemonade by adding seltzer, flavored or plain, to a sour.

Literally just picked up a bottle of Kentucky Rye. Thank you.
Great series! Thanks for posting this video!
My favorite whiskey cocktail is 2 ounces in a lowball glass and fill to the top with air.
The old pepper was delicious, even though I did it kinda my own way. Great video!
I love it! I'd love to see some vodka cocktails as it seems to be the most boring booze i own and honestly i need some inspiration to use it!
Low-ABV "build in the glass" cocktails is something I would like to see more of. Or atleast Low-ABV cocktails that I can prepare a picther of... I need something I can drink more of now i find, without getting hammared, just to pass the time :P
I liked the fact that you showed 5 cocktails and used Brubeck's "Take five" in the background.
How do you put that logo on your clear ice cube, that is awesome looking.
Interesting choices for cocktails! cheers!
The sound wave enhanced flavor os an actual thing. The basically use an ultrasonic cleaner to speed up aging. Theres a video on it by thought emporium.
Quick question, what size ice cubes do you use and what size rocks glass? I feel all my rocks glasses are too big for my cube of ice
I was not expecting to see Metallica’s whisky in this video, but that’s a very pleasant surprise! I really want to give it a try

Can you do tequila next? Besides the margarita

What size/volume is the coupe glass for the Old Pepper?
Actually might be useful to have the size/volume for all the drinks... i am at brown derby and would want the size of that coupe as well (if its not the same)
Fantastic! Surely it has to be rum next!
@6:52
What is that marking on the ice?
Yes, more on the ice. Is that a mold or etched somehow?
@@steveschory3308 I can't describe it
