One of the most entertaining TH-cam bartenders, without a doubt
Thanks Nick, I try. Cheers!
"Wonderful T H I C C lime syrup"
It’s a good one. Give it a try!
This is what I totally love! A drink with a story telling by an awesome bartender Bruce👏🏻Bruce has something what other bartenders don't - a soul and love putting to his job👌🏻👏🏻I wish to meet you one day mate! Long live the King 👑 Cheers from the Finland 🥂🍹🥃
Hello Finland! Thank you for the lovely comment. It’s a lot of work but we love what we do. Jeep checking back new episode releasing in a couple days.
You can tell this guy is an F’n pro. Well done.
Thanks! I try
I'm going to be ordering this next time I'm at the bar. Thanks, Bruce. Love you bud!
Thanks for tuning in, enjoy.
Great channel and excellently produced videos. You are a true professional. There is something reassuring when having a cocktail at a bar that has experienced, well dressed bartenders like you find in some of the better hotels and restaurants. Having good food, drinks, and company is truly living well.
Gimlets and Gin & Tonics are my favorite drinks. I've been drinking them for over 40 years and can personally attest to the fact that not once have I've ever come down with either scurvy or malaria. I give a toast to modern medicine.
A Gimlet a day keeps the doctor away. Ha! Thanks for watching and writing in, cheers!
Entertaining and informative as always, thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU for watching! Cheers
The history, and the beverage…. Well played…. I’ll have another!
Might as well make it 2 ha
Bruce thanks for taking the time to educate us on great mixology ✌️🖖
Thank you for taking the time to watch me taking the time to educate you all on mixology. 😀 Ha! Keep checking back lots more episodes on the way. Cheers!
Dillons gin? I didn't realize this was a Canadian channel! Love the recipes!
Heck ya this is a Canadian channel. Happy Canada Day! Thanks for watching!
@@BarTalkCocktails Happy Canada Day to you!
Such a simple recipe and such an elegant cocktail. I made your lime syrup and loved it. Tried it in a gimlet and will never have it any other way. For me the cardamom pops. I think your idea of adding a dash or 2 of bitters is brilliant. I have a few I will try. And I see you raided your local Distillery, Dillon's gin is slightly more potent then the typical fare from the liquor store, excellent stuff. Great video as always.
Thanks Stephane, glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent stuff! I'd definitely prefer your recipe personally, no sulphites, nothing artificial, and I'd imagine a much fresher taste, keep up the great work Bruce!
Thanks Nico. I always say fresh is best. Take the extra time and make it amazing, it’ll make all the difference in your cocktails. Keep checking back, cheers!
Thank you Bruce.👍🏼
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
That was probably the funniest intro I've seen of yours so far, I was really hooked and laughing at the end.
It’s a fun gig, ha.
Great history as well as a great presentation of the cocktail recipe. Also, love the beautiful cocktails with their slow spin! Great videos Bruce! Keep em' coming!
You got it, thanks again Don, cheers!
Hi Bruce ! Another very good video. The more I watch, the more enthusiastic I am... keep on giving us pleasure and joy...
Thanks! Stay tuned lots more on the way!
I love Bruce! What a great bartender, not like these college kid idiots in my town who couldn’t make a real cocktail if their lives depended on it!
Isn't that the truth! I'd love to sit at his bar n try his drinks.
Thanks! That’s quite the compliment. 40 years experience goes a long way. Cheers! Keep checking back.
Thanks, The Gimlet is one drink I keep going back to and homemade lime cordial is Way better than Roses. This might contradict "The Long Goodbye" 50/50 proportions but taste buds don't lie your recipe is so much better. Lime sours are so good like the Margarita, Daiquiri, or Pisco sour all Great cocktails. Cheers
Fresh is always best. It’s always worth the extra time and effort. Some interesting new episodes coming soon so stay tuned Albert. Cheers!
This has got to be one of my favorite cocktails
It’s definitely a good one!
I love watching you! Your gimlet looks like my next favorite drink!!!!
Hope you gave it a try it’s a good little drink. Cheers!
GREAT STUFF!!
I only ever heard of the gimlet from reading Raymond Chandler
This was another laugh-out-loud hilarious video, Bruce! Kudos to you again!
Thanks for the continued support, glad to see you’re still tuning in. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails And thanks to you again for your excellent channel! Sláinte!
Love me a nice Gimlet even in 2023. Cheers!
Can’t go wrong!
Simple drink but great video. Love it!!
Thanks Terry. If you ever have any requests drop me a line. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails I'd like a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a mans hat....
Great drink made by a great man
Thank you! Keep checking back lots more videos on the way. Cheers!
A Hendricks gimlet is definitely my go-to-drink at the beginning of a cocktail party. I started making your lime syrup at my bartender job, and needless to say we sell quite a few now. :) Thanks Bruce!
You’re very welcome! Glad you gave it a go!
Love the channel! Bruce, you're awesome!
Thanks David!
Man, your channel is fantastic 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love you!
Great recipe 👌🏽 love a gimlet!
Hey thanks for watching and writing in! Stay tuned lots more on the way. Cheers!
I just checked out a couple of your shows. I like your energy and enthusiasm. You're a funny guy. Keep up the good work Will. Cheers!
BarTalk&Cocktails Ahh thanks man 🙏🏼 means a lot!
Great video! Entertaining!
Thanks I try! Cheers
This guy is awesome and this channel is awesome. Glad I found it.
Glad you found it too! Enjoy 😊
@@BarTalkCocktails you're great Bruce. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.
Whip it….whip it goo!
Yeah!
Any time there is a sulfite preservative in stuff I can taste the difference.
I also taste corn syrup in place of sugar. That glucose/fructose is sure to be corn syrup.
Most sugar in the US and UK these days is beet sugar. Cane is still subtly better.
My favorite way to drink a gimlet is beefeater, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, shaken
Can’t go wrong. Cheers
Another great video Bruce! So glad I found this channel. Would love to see more drinks featuring rum but none the less great job all around 👍
Thanks for the suggestion I will keep that in mind. Maybe I’ll start thinking up a tiki episode and make some rum cocktails. Thanks for writing in, cheers!
I find rum and brandy the most useful. They mix well and are also basic alcohols, being fermented wine and sugar, respectively. And there are varieties of each available with mountains of character.
Seeing as we're on limes today -- I make a sour with Plantaition Rum and Fresh Lime Juice. Not quite a Daiquiri... for that I'd add Cointreau and just a touch of grapefruit juice.
This make my mouth watering... damn! Amazing channel! Greetings from Chile wn
Thanks for tuning in!
I like a vodka gimlet but use 4 parts vodka and one part Rosie’s. I have found that the cheap vodkas taste the best because they give it a little “bite”.
Love your videos. Lime is my favorite flavor.
Thanks Douglas! Cheers
I have only ever used Rose's, but I use a bit less of it than in this video. I do 2 oz of gin to .5 oz of Rose's. Great video!
Thanks for tuning in!
So I used a chilled rocks glass. Spiced cranberry bitters, sweet tiki bitters (cinnamon notes) fresh squeezed orange juice. It isnt as fancy but its a nice smooth drink. (Let me know if you can Brucify it)
Sounds good so far. I do like bitters though. I'm assuming you used gin as your base.
Fell in love with the Gimlet in the early 70s
Can’t go wrong with a Gimlet! I could go for one right now. Maybe I will 🤔
At college in the 70s, I sold plasma and it was just enough money to get 2 vodka gimlets and an order of onion rings plus a dollar tip.
(:
Where does one sign up for this? Ha
Hey Bruce, what would the ratio be for the fresh lime juice to simple syrup be per serving? Keep em coming n God bless! Have you heard of a drink called "The Clint"? It was named after a US Secret Service agent. 2shots Campari, 1shot vodka, slice of orange and soda water in a tall ice filled glass. (Collins glass) enjoy.
Start with a ratio of 1/2 oz. simple syrup to 1/2 oz. fresh pressed lime juice. Everyone's palate is different so, if it's too sweet, cut back on the syrup. If it's too sour, add more syrup. What you're after is 1 oz. of the mix for an incredibly balanced Gimlet. You'll find your perfect ratio.
I use to serve something very similar to "The Clint" back in the 1980s. It didn't go by that name but, it had the same ingredients, different proportion. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was called.
I always love making stuff with fresh lime juice. I had a customer that liked it better with roses. I hate using roses.
U'r awesome, btw I just realised u have a baccardi 151 in the background, but they've gone out of production. Any ideas for substitutes?
Depending on where you live, you can still pick up a variety of 151 proof rums. The Dominican Republic has Brugal 151 Blanco and Bermudez 151 Blanco. And, If you can find it, from Guyana, the "Gold Standard" Lemon Hart 151 Rum you can't go wrong. I recently bought Gosling's Black Seal 151 Proof. It's from Bermuda. I haven't cracked it yet but, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I like the smooth and intense flavour that their 80 proof rum offers. Good luck with your search. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails
Gosling's was the last Rum I got. It __is__ intense.
This is one of my all-time favorite drinks. I sub out simple syrup with just a liiiitle bit of agave, and it comes out *amazing*
Sounds delightful
yeeeeeesssssss
🤗
I love a Wet Gin Martini and when I ask for one I have been asked what that is. Got to try this Gimlet
Give it a try and let me know if ya like it.
@@BarTalkCocktails I will, thanks!
I like this guy! Earned a sub! I'd like to sit down with this guy with a nice cigarette or cigar, cocktail, and just shoot the shit and talk about what's goin on in the world today.
Don’t get me started on the world today... ha.
Thanks for tuning in, hope ya keep checking back. Cheers
What is the lime bitter you have?
I'm using Dillion's Lime Bitters available here in Ontario, Canada. They certainly add another dimension to a well made Gimlet. Very Tasty... Cheers!
So the difference between a gimlet and a Lime Rickey is sugar. Cool trivia. If it’s made with Rum… isn’t that a daiquiri? And made with Tequila, isn’t that a Margarita?
You're correct, though a classic Daiquiri is made with the addition of simple syrup. A Margarita too will often have simple syrup and a sweet component of triple sec added to it. So, the Rickey stands alone with no sugar added. Cheers, Everett.
Bruce, I was in New Orleans in Dec 2019, and someone ran into me coming out of a French Quarter bar. Instantly, I thought it was you. Wondering, were.you in New Orleans the weekend before Christmas? Just curious. Love your videos.
I wish it was me but no. Unfortunately I have not travelled much. Must rectify that one day.
If you make a gimlet from scratch (gin, fresh lime, simple syrup), it is delicious but different than either the Rose's gimlet, or one made with your interesting and elaborate lime syrup. I recently made what I thought would be a vodka Gimlet with lemons (vodka, fresh lemon, simple syrup). Turns out that is called a Lemon Drop. So is a "from scratch" Gimlet called a Lime Drop? The simple Lemon Drop is awesome, by the way. The nomenclature confuses me!
'What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet'. Sorry, I couldn't resist... I think a Lime Drop would be an appropriate name, but technically, it's nothing more than a gin sour. Cheers, Fred.
The Gimlet is a Tom Collins without the soda water. I have always ordered a Tom Collins without soda now I know its a Gimlet.
It’s a great little cocktail. Thanks for watching !
I’ve always suspected if there’s any “real lime juice” in the rose lime cordial. Never used it , just by reading the ingredients and then see how long the expiration can be, makes me think it’s 90% artificial.
When in doubt always make it yourself. Fresh is always best!
Grog meant you couldn't keep it . it went off
Kinda a like a gin Margarita
