Yes please. A well made (bars seem to find this too much of a challenge) 2:1 martini is the greatest cocktail of all time. I could drink them every day for the rest of my life. In fact, I will. Would love to see your video on it
I've long thought you would slay a Vesper explanation and history. That's been one of my favorites but it is misunderstood mainly due to spirit/vermouth recipe changes (Gordon's, Lillet) etc.
Anders at his best ... shows us some under-the-radar, tasty cocktails we should be drinking. Everyone needs a few Martini riffs so they can assemble a short list of go-to tipples when the clock is ticking on an open bottle of 375ml vermouth.
A friend recently told me that she has started to have a "happy hour" at home every Friday after work, seeing these drinks has me wanting to do the same!
375, in Denmark they are 750, that is a Lot of martinis to drink 😄 serious question though, circa how long will an open bottle of vermouth endure in the fridge?
You simultaneously make me want to open a cocktail bar and realise that I don't know anywhere near enough about cocktails. Every video is a lesson and I love making these drinks. Thanks Anders
Just wanted to say I am amazed by how much better your videos are than *any* other cocktail channel on TH-cam, including those with several multiples higher subscribers. Not to knock any of them--plenty of them are very good and are worth watching--but your channel's combination of laid-back attitude, restrained (i.e. not over the top) goofiness, deep experience and skill, excellent audio and video quality, and a sense of openness and kindness really puts you head and shoulders above everyone else doing this. I wish you both all the success in the world with this endeavor. And thank you so much for all the amazing advice you've given me on making better cocktails!
I love that you say to keep vermouth in the fridge, as soon as I found that out awhile back I started doing that at work and it helps a lot! My boss was like "why do you put vermouth in the fridge? This is the only place I've worked that does that." And I'm like "Because that's what your supposed to do!" This is at a country club too lol
Please create a cocktail book of your own. I LOVE your cocktail sips, tips, and recipes..hehehehe!!! Oh, and Curiada is amazing to work with. Thanks for turning me on to them.
Something I learned from a book called Just Cocktails, is that dashes of liqueurs were different from dashes of bitters, and was done with something closer to a speed pour than a dasher. A modern dash is often cited at about an 1/8th of a teaspoon, where as the ones for Luxardo of Benedictine in those old recipes were closer to 1/3rd of a teaspoon. Those kinds of measurements made a lot more sense to me when I looked at a lot of pre-prohibition cocktails.
Highly recommend getting a wine vacuum sealer for your vermouth. Oxidization is your enemy and being able to open a bottle, use it, and then seal it back up without any air will keep your vermouth lasting longer and tasting better, and will help you keep making higher quality drinks.
Love your channel. I'm a total amateur cocktail maker but I'm learning. My drinks have improved dramatically since finding your channel. 1. martini video? Yes please!! I wasn't crazy about martinis but have been scaling down the dry vermouth and its becoming my favorite. 2. More Az!! She's great. Her facial expressions are fantastic. She really needs her own channel just talking about anything really. You two are great. Thanks!
I absolutely love Benedictine and now my mind is blown - never thought I should try it in a Martini, a cocktail that I can't seem to "get". I am trying the Ford today! Also, still waiting on the Martini episode, can't wait to see you teach us your way of doing it! Cheers Anders and Az, have a nice one! 🥂☀️
@@AndersErickson My bottle of Benedictine is almost gone and we only bought it a couple months ago. And that's mostly due to your La Louisiana recipes.
So, literally two years later I find this video (and it's not like I haven't been looking at your videos, it's just TH-cam's algorithm). This is brilliant (and I happen to have a bottle of Bénédictine just because). Going to try the Ford.
Anders... Outstanding as usual. Not having the components at home, I took your recipe for The Ford, The Rolls Royce, and my wife's favorite, The Classic White Lady, to a restaurant bar here in Houston, and they did us the honor of happily making all three. It was our first taste of the The Ford and The Rolls Royce. Both are amazing, and although I plan to make both often, I will be having The Ford the most - it is simply superb. Thanks for these recipes.
Off the wall idea, my dentist (don't give up on me, just keep reading) has Bon Appetit videos playing in a loop and I love that because I like cooking new things and variety. Wouldn't be cool if cocktail bars had AE videos playing somewhere in the room to inspire customers to try new drinks?
I did NOT know vermouth should be kept refrigerated. Thanks for that! I only found out now that it even says it on the bottle in a font size for ants.. another lesson learned!
Your channel has helped me perfect my craft more than any other channel-- apart from Bar Rescue lmao-- and i cant thank you enough. You make me want to pass on all your sips and tips! Keep up the awesome content.
Hey Anders, Thanks a lot for your content 🙏 In case you decide to make another episode of subscriber's cocktails, here's one by me. Story (just didn't have triple sec at home, so decided to create my own Margarita 😂) Limoncello Margarita by Levon 60ml - tequila reposado 20ml - lime juice 20ml - limoncello 5ml - agave syrup 2 dashes orange bitters Shake it and serve in a rocks glass over ice.
Another brilliant video and I think at some type of anniversary, you should make a whole video of Az's facial reactions to tasting cocktails. It could win an Oscar. You guys are the best ...
I'm sipping a Ford right now as I write this. Excellent, über-refreshing tipple! I had seen the Ford in Ted Haigh's book (I've got both the original and revised versions), but hadn't paid much attention to it. I made mine with Ransom Old Tom. I always learn something new and fun on your channel, Anders. Thanks, and you and Az keep up the good work!
I’ve been watching a ton of your videos - I enjoy the content, and the drinks always look awesome. I keep telling myself I’ll try making one some weekend, but that hasn’t happened yet. This weekend, my mission will be to make the Ford cocktail and see how it tastes. Looks right up my alley!
I was surprised by your Ford recipe, since I got mine from the Dead Rabbit and its a little different. Since this recipe is one of my favorite cocktails of all time, I highly recommend you to try it (and ofc make a comparison video ;)). Here are the specs: 1,5oz. Dry Gin (Tanqueray) 1,5oz. Dolin Blanc 0,5oz. Maraschino 3 Dashes Orange Bitters 5 Dashes Absinth Mixing: Stirred Glas: Coupe Garnish: Orange peel This is what a real cocktail is about: booze and bitters. Learn it, love it, live it.
This is easily my favorite TH-cam channel. Great work, Anders! I'd love a martini video. Also, it would be interesting for you to talk about what it means to "bruise" gin. Is that a myth or a legit thing? I've heard you shouldn't shake cocktails that only use spirits but you have the famous line "shaken not stirred" from James Bond. It seems that if you make a dirty martini then shaking might help incorporate the olive juice. Otherwise, just stir. I really don't know. Another question is what type of gin works best in a martini? Do you prefer a dry or botanical gin? I love martinis and I'd love to hear your take on them.
You bring up a lot of great points. A lot to consider when it comes to the martini. Happy to see some interest on the topic - it'll be a fun video! Cheers!
I had a couple friends over and most of them liked the Rolls Royce most. Might have been the name though. Great video Anders and a friend of mine who loves Martini variations will love both of these, thank you!
You know, it'd be cool if you dove into Dr. Cocktail's book and put some of the hard to find stuff - wood aged peach brandy, torani amour, tonicola - on your curiada...
I dont have Benedictine so I used Cynar for the Ford recipe and it turned quite interesting. Has the sweetness and the herbal flavours, turned extremely dry though (not sure how it suppose to be with Bene)
I like those coupes a lot. They've been out of stock on Amazon for quite some time, but it looks like there are some alternatives, which is nice. (And of course I am going to make both of those cocktails this weekend; I just need some dry vermouth...)
@@AndersErickson And now I'm enjoying the Ford. Also delicious. I think I like the Ford a little more, although I'll be making both of these in the future.
Thank you so much for the martini video. My husband is my personal bartender, and I can't wait to send him this video. I love love gin, and was wondering if you have any tonic recipes. Again thanks!!!
The only friend I've ever had who drove a Rolls actually kept a glove compartment full of Grey Poupon to hand to people who stopped him and asked for one. He said that inexpensive jar of mustard gave more delight than the Rolls
Reporting back. They didn't have old tom gin so I went with the rolls.royce. I liked it but I didn't think it was all that much different from the perfect martini my fiance had in terms of flavour, maybe the red vermouth they used was particularly sweet but there was definitely a richness added to my drink.
A request if I may. I had a cocktail once called a Bluetail Fly, it was amazing. Creamy and came with an umbrella! Have you heard of it and could you make it, I recall it was made with Blue Curaçao possibly?
We did the side by side. They are similar, but I prefer the Rolls Royce. It’s a little less sweet and more gin forward. How about doing a Vesper next time.
Thank you for the great quality content as always! Learning how to make cocktails all the way here in Singapore, and I really appreciate the thought put into your videos
I'm not a fan of the traditional Dry Martini. However, these 2 drinks are looking much more promising. I never had Benedictine, so couldn't try them. What I could try and liked very much is a subfamily of Martinis made with dry gin, dry vermouth, maraschino liqueur and absinthe (dash/rinse): Moonshine Martini, Turf Club, Tuxedo 1 and 2. They all have the above ingredients, only in different proportions (I've listed them from sweeter to dryer). It would be fantastic if you could do a head to head comparison between them. Cheers and keep up the good work!
LOVED the cameo of the outstanding Scofflaw Old Tom, and the Martin Miller's is another favorite. Did Az plan to be color coordinated with the cocktails or was that just a happy coincidence? Top-notch video, as always. Thanks, for the great cocktails and content!
I saw this video when it first came out, and thought these drinks looked delicious but didnt have any of the ingredients to make them. Now, nearly a year later I came across the video again, and now I actually have the ingredients. So I guess I know what Im making tonight :D
I love the Forgotten Cocktail book. I made a parody video last April Fools of Vino last year. In that video I made the Park Avenue cocktail from this very book. This was a fun cocktail. You two are on point together! Cheers!
@@AndersErickson I gotta do another one. I won an award from Vino for that yuh know! Lol! Never actually got my award…. 🤔 But what can you do. Just to win was enough! Lol! Mahalo Anders!
Awesome, thanks for going with more underrated cocktails… and for hitting on some more Benedictine! Gonna try the Ford now… all the way from Prague. Keep it up!
Thanks to you I have fallen in love with Benedictine! So far my favorite is the Monte Cassino but I think I'm going to budget some time on a weekend so I can try these both.
Hejsan! You really got me into benedictine, thank you for that! If you are making the dry martini sometime in the future, i would line to know your take on choice of gin, i tried gin mare (instead of the usual beefeater/bombay/gordon etc) and found a new dimension of martinis, so with that in mind, there are probably more to learn, and im guessing you have a deeper knowledge there and would love your taka on it.
Hi Anders, at the moment I only have beefeater, Gordon, and Bombay Sapphire gin. Which one would you use as a substitute for those two cocktails? Thanks in advance
Az was looking extra classy for this one! Thanks for the video. My wife and I love you guys, but now we're getting some friends into the channel. Keep on climbing!
Hey Anders, what do you think of this: 1 part each Cynar, Kahlua, Dolin Rouge over crushed ice, top with diet coke. I usually do about an ounce each and start with half a can but I top it off as I drink for different feels. Is there a name for this style of drink? Is there a name for the drink before the coke? I've been trying different Coca Cola drinks recently, (really liked Averna and Coke), and I came across this combo and it's been my favorite for a while.

For the Ford, I did a white Lillet and it was delicious - not a bad sub if you don't have that particular Dolin.
Have you done a tutorial anywhere of how you cut your garnishes like that? Love the video, thanks!

Tried the Ford yesterday for B movie night with my neighbor. Excellent! Will definitely be in the drink rotation moving forward.
Anders, my man, you did it again. This is a pair of truly delicious cocktails.
love the content, i was wondering if you could showcase some drinks using a rose flavour I think that would be very interesting
So, literally two years later I find this video (and it's not like I haven't been looking at your videos, it's just TH-cam's algorithm). This is brilliant (and I happen to have a bottle of Bénédictine just because). Going to try the Ford.
The Anders Erickson Martini Video is one of my most anticipated videos and I am very here for it

Now I have a use for my Benedictine besides Vieux Carrés. I my serve these in my Nick and Nora glasses, though.
truly enjoy being introduced to these classic cocktails via your channel. You have the best breakdowns.

Haha, yep, Az has some funny moments!
Yes - an Az reaction mashup would be so excellent.
I hit the like button. Did I do good? So gonna try this easy mixer. Thanks for summertime fun-tails.

Did or could you make a video for wedding cocktails? If you had a wedding coming up, what would you make?
Thanks Anders, I will make tonight when I get home
Good way to start the weekend - Cheers! 🍸

To the bar!
For Vermouth you should try Carpano.

Ohhhhh This martini drinker making one or both of these tonight. Thanks for sharing these recipes.
Hope you enjoy them both! Cheers! 🍸

The only friend I've ever had who drove a Rolls actually kept a glove compartment full of Grey Poupon to hand to people who stopped him and asked for one. He said that inexpensive jar of mustard gave more delight than the Rolls
Going out for dinner tomorrow night to a place that has a prett decent cocktail bar. If they have benedictine I'm going to order one of these

I liked it but I didn't think it was all that much different from the perfect martini my fiance had in terms of flavour, maybe the red vermouth they used was particularly sweet but there was definitely a richness added to my drink.
At this point, you should write a book, Anders! Your favorite classic cocktail recipes and their origins. It'd be amazing! Cheers and say hi to Az :)
If Anders put out a book I’d absolutely buy it. And also probably one for my parents, sister, and brother.
Finally got around to the Ford. So great, thanks
I am old enough to remember those Grey Poupon commercials

1 part each Cynar, Kahlua, Dolin Rouge over crushed ice, top with diet coke.
I usually do about an ounce each and start with half a can but I top it off as I drink for different feels. Is there a name for this style of drink? Is there a name for the drink before the coke?
I've been trying different Coca Cola drinks recently, (really liked Averna and Coke), and I came across this combo and it's been my favorite for a while.
I've tried. Hitting it is really easy af
Hey my friend 🙂 you have made a miscalculation in the description, I think.
1/2 oz is 15ml, not 30 😉
Happens a lot, so don't sweat 😁
Oops - thanks for the heads-up! 😅
What bar do you work at? I’m going to Chicago for my Bach party in July!!!
We will be trying some new cocktail 🍸 this weekend. Thank you 😊
