Nothing beats a classic. Great video, simple and concise, punctuated history. Great work. As a bartender who insists on staying true to history, this video is the format that classic cocktails should be taught.
Thank you! Those are the exact reasons why I make these videos. I know people like watching TH-cam for entertainment but many people also just want a straight to the point video.
@@VintageAmericanCocktails You inspired me today, and during my shift I made one for a guest, and then another gal asked what it was and wanted one. How simple is that?! Inspiration became tangible, tangible became a memory. Like art. As bartenders; we are short-order cooks who solidify memory with a liquid art form. Never take it seriously enough that you ruin a cocktail by losing your own love for it. You can still feel the love through the memory of a beloved classic. The nectar that any given glass contains is a historical record of a living being that built something. Created a legacy…That’s eternal! /cheers my friend Never lose your love for art.
@@rrichards84 that’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. I love this because to me I feel like I am opening up time capsules by recreating old drinks. X number of years ago someone sat in a bar, hotel or somewhere and had this same drink. The image I see in my head is different for different drinks. An adios paints a unique picture. A zombie is like opening up a time capsule to a 1930s Los Angeles tiki bar, or a sazerac, or a martini. I feel nostalgic for a time I never experienced. Your story reminds me. There was a manga I read a while back called bartender. Sounds corny, but it was really good. (The anime was awful. Don’t watch the anime) there was one chapter where a teacher met a former student he inspired to become a teacher too and the older teacher was jaded and kind of an asshole. And the bartender makes him a Bobby burns and later on the older teacher is recalling the highs and lows of his career while the poem my heart is in the highlands reads out. Again sounds corny but I reads really well. And the bartender is not perfect either, he sometimes makes some big mistakes assuming he knows best in the story. Thank you again! Cheers!
👍🏻 Thanks! I always thought it was tequila with orange juice, and that red syrup first swirled into the inside of the glass .. the colours suggesting the name. Evidently mine was a counterfeit sunrise! 🌅
Honestly I like the orange juice one too. that one was the 1970s recipe created at the trident hotel. The origin of that one is kind of funny because in an interview the bartender who made that one basically said “well, we ran out of crème de cassis so we used grenadine, and we ran out of lime juice, so we used orange juice instead of limes and soda water, but we had tequila.” In the 1970s trader Vic’s bartender guide he has the recipe you see in my video but the orange juice one became more popular because Mick Jagger stayed at the trident hotel while doing a show in San Francisco and he loved their recipe. After that he would often order a tequila sunrise made with grenadine and orange juice and that quickly became the dominant version.
