I made this drink (with little more gin and a little less lemon and blood orange juice, adding blood orange juice to my preferred Bee's Knees recipe), and it was very enjoyable. I'm not always a fan of lemon juice, but I do like the Bee's Knees. I had a blood orange in the fruit bowl, so this was the perfect cocktail video for me.
@@thescotchspot6302 There are so many to choose from. Hmm... Some are great reference books, some require exclusive ingredients that are hard to find, and some are very scientific. For an aspiring barman, and for having 500 recipes to learn, is "The Craft of the Cocktail" by Dale Degroff. It has some vintage recipes, tried-and-true classics and some originals. It also has a section on setting up a bar, as well as techniques and tools. I think this recipe book is a great place to start. Cheers!
I love it when you preset a cocktail and I have everything to make it on hand, I made the bees knees wile watching the your history of the drink , I made mine with Orange blossom honey and tanqueray gin and I found it a lovely combo
I always sub for Blood Orange where possible (and when possible - it’s so damn seasonal). Btw, in Spanish we also say “bebo” as a form of drink. I’ve never had the Bebbo. Definitely want to try that! Another great video Bruce! 🥃
Cocktails have changed over the years but one thing all great bartenders throughout history have in common is NO leather and denim aprons with tweezers!! Always love this channel!
Hmm, Bebbo looks suspiciously like the Bee's Knees in my 1930 drink mixer guide called "Swallows." Love that you're using blood orange, though, for that lovely hue! And blood oranges are awesome, taste-wise, as well.
Blood oranges are delicious. It's too bad they're seasonal. Mind you, if they were around all the time I might not appreciate them as much. Blood oranges in a Bebbo are marvellous. I hope you make one. Thanks for your continued support. Cheers, Jane.
hi Mr Bruce enjoy your videos a lot. Thank you for all you do. Do you ever make your own honey liqueur? seen recipes for it with grain alcohol and want to know your opinion homemade vs store bought honey liqueur. can you recommend a brand or a recipe? . Also do you bartend anywhere? Maybe my wife and me can plan destination vacation where you serve cheers!
I've never made my own honey liqueur, but I'll have to think about doing just that. Thanks for the suggestion. My favourite honey liqueur is called Bronte. It's out of England and combines blackberry and sloe berries with honey and jasmine. It is probably one of the best honey liqueurs I've ever tried. It's slightly syrupy and has a good balance between honeyed sweetness, clove, and pepper. The sloe and blackberry flavours are underlying softly in the background. Unfortunately, it's unavailable where I live. Cheers!
Thanks Bruce for keeping the fun in Cocktails.
Thanks for tuning in!
Imagine having Bruce at your wedding fixing drinks and telling jokes/stories
Ha imagine that! I can also play piano and sing. It’d be a great time for sure.
Your the man Bruce. Keep em coming. Though my liver may regret it
You got it. New episode releasing real soon.

Sounds divine!

You know it!

Noone does cocktail history quite as in depth as you do BT! Fascinating insights as always, and with such style!
We love what we do! Thanks for tuning in. New episode coming real soon.
I literally JUST thought of you! Making rosemary and lime simple syrup! A warm hello from Trinidad and Tobago!
Hello Carla! Let me know how it turns out. Cheers!
Ya fun when looking at a recipe and getting more information on it just leads down the rabbit hole. This is a great one, will revisit is again soon!!
Cheers Stephane!

Sounds divine! Nice when it all comes together.
Just made it with some honey my own bees made. Thanks for everything you do Bruce🐝🍹
Ooh, sounds delightful.
“Now you know” he said...
And knowing is half the battle.
@@BarTalkCocktails i thought it was in reference to that other channel
@@johnwallace2319 Ah! Yea, “Behind the bar” (with Cara) She’s adorbs.
You know Bruce, always a delight. I'm not surer you covered the name Bebbeo well enough could you expand on that a bit more p[please....
Ha, ha, David. If I go any deeper down that rabbit hole I may never come back. I'll be stuck in Bebboland like Alice. Cheers to you!

*...“bebo” as a form of drink?...*
What my confused man here is trying to say is that the word _"bebo"_ literally means _"I drink"_ in Spanish.
Sounds divine. According to Viv my producer, bebo also means I drink in Portuguese.

Hey Bruce! Can you do a video about the Millionaire cocktail???
Great suggestion, I’ll add it to my to do list. Cheers

Bruce, who is the gentleman in the backround in the photo with glasses>?
That's Harry Yee. He is a legendary bartender from Hawaii
Yup, Dennis is correct.
Harry was kind enough to send a photo after watching the episodes I covered him in.
🍹👍🤤
Thanks for tuning in.
