Holy moly that third cocktail was potent...!! Pretty sure it's over 4 standard drinks! That overproof rum really does stand up to the (usually) dominant Green Chartreuse resulting in some big bold flavours!! Don't forget to sub to my weekly email: stevethebartender.com.au/newsletter
Today's my 21st birthday, I want to get a 6 or 7 bottle bar to try out mixing for me and my wife and friends. What should i look for to try to get or look for at the liquor store to start it
hi steve, had a question / request for you. i recently was in spain visiting on of my friends who is a bartender aswell, and he took me to the licor 43 factory which looks amazing btw, and there were a lot of premixed bottles of licor 43 ready for us to try which was really cool but my favorite one by far was the Fresco, its very simple and so refreshing, its made up with a little bit of licor 43 , a bit of lemon juice and carbonated water. really easy for big batches at parties... but id really love to see it featured in one of your videos! ik
Yeah, that last one's intriguing, but that does seem like a lot of alcohol for one drink. I need to get myself a bottle of Chartreuse and tread lightly...
I was actually wondering if that was a rehearsed expression? I’m not saying it is fake but I was curious if it was something you had consciously done because a guy your size with a grim expression could be a bit intimidating or at least off-putting to your customers.
Just made myself a Bywater. Thank you for this. I never heard of it. It's really impressive. Super good and far more complex than I had imagined. I'm a sucker for Averna, so perhaps that's it :)
I have a China-China which is closer to the original Amer Picon remaining at 40%abv that should help spark the Bywater a little closer to potent 😉 great compilation!!!
Hi man, can recommend a variant of the last word, which is my favorite way to drink it. Make it as usual but serve in a rocks glass with a large ice cube and garnish with a cucumber instead of the cherry. To make it even better you can use hendricks gin!
Thank you so much for your videos Steve ! You gave me the passion of cocktail making🍹! I live in Grenoble and everyday I can see from my window the Chartreuse mountain chain where that famous alcohol was invented a few centuries ago... I really like the green one! Here we drink it pure but your cocktails seem so tasty... Il will try soon! Concerning your TH-cam channel, I think you should open an online shop to sell some merch, bartender equipment, jiggers, shakers... 👍🏻😉 I love your channel! Keep going!
Chartreuse mountain looks stunning and likewise for the distillery - so cool that you’re so close to it.. I do have a barware store: www.cocktailkit.com.au and merch is available on Patreon: bit.ly/stb-patreon 😁
I tried the Bywater with a 40% rum found it too soft so I added some Wray and Nephew for proof it up. Now it’s a little too good. I’ll need to get some OFTD and try again. Last Flight is pretty good also
Im going to have to make The Bywater at work tomorrow, looks really interesting. If you havent already tried it mix up a tailspin using the Death & Co recipe. You wont be disappointed! or a Bad Date, its not quite as well known but is well worth a try. 1/2oz dry vermouth 1/2oz suze 1/2oz green Chartreuse 2 dashes of Absinthe 1 1/2oz Tequila Stir and strain into a coupe with a lime twist.
Love your channel. Thanks for all these great recipes. I have a technical questions about Velvet Falernum. How do you store a bottle after opening it and how long does it typically keep after opening? Thanks.
Love it! Love Green chartreuse and love The Last Word.., but Steve your probs with the limes in the Last Word illustrate one of the issues with lime-based cocktails - how to have a nice, soft, juicy lime ready to go. So, for me, when limes are expensive, or like yours were today, I go for a Shanghai Gin instead. Also has the advantage of my favourite cocktail proportions (30/30/30/30 - who are we kidding with this 22.5ml - OK, that’s what we say, but does anyone actually do that??).
I will say I love the last word. I just made one of those and then followed that up with a last flight which sounds gross but was DELICIOUS as well! Thanks!
Cool. Picking up a bottle. Was debating what I'd do with it (since its so expensive) didn't want to buy it and not know how to mix with it. Keep the great vids coming!
Had all the ingredients for all 3 except I’m out of Averna so I subbed in amaro meletti and still liked it. My favorite was the last flight. Cheers mate have a good rest of your weekend
steve! great video as always! try this! green char 1 oz, fernet 1 oz, simple 1 oz, lime juice 1 oz. the industry sour! also, can you find cherry bark vanilla bitter by bittercube near you? such a game changing bitters! makes a manhattan sing again!
I made the bywater last night. Holy mackerel it is good! I had a bottle of that Plantation over proof rum. it has been sitting there a while because I can't drink it in anything else. It's been too strong for any other cocktails I've tried. Not just alcohol content, but the flavor too. Anyway, this made it work. One of my favorite cocktails. Thanks for sharing.
I just bought a bottle of Chartreuse yesterday. that is a really tasty drink. I think it has something like 160 different herbs in it and only 2 monks know the recipe. it is very closely guarded. I bought the Luxardo too and I have Sapphire gin. I might just make that cocktail after I work off this hangover I got. I will say, though, Chartreuse is a MUST HAVE in the home bar (or "bah" to quote Steve)
a side note... Green and yellow chartreuse are the exact same thing, however, green chartreuse is macerated longer than yellow, with the addition of honey and saffron.
At 50 I’ve had only a few cocktails typically when someone says try this. I’m reading a book and chartreuse came up. I’m curious what this elixir tastes like. Thank you for sharing
@@LetsTalkDrinks 1 1/2 oz Irish whisky, 1 oz. sweet vermouth, 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse, stirred and poured into a chilled glass, no ice. I garnish with an orange peel. Cheers!
What would you think about using Bigallet China-China Amer instead of Averna for the Bywater? Lots of folks in the US swear it's one of the best substitutes for Amer Picon.
Yooooo if you have Last Word and Paper Plane Ingredients- go ahead a buy some mezcal and try a Naked & Famous as well! Also mezcal last words are delicious
To je pro nějaký ročíldy... My osamocený Pinďové, co jsme hned hotový, pijeme teplou levnou vodku!!! Protože všechno už je ztracený :D :D Jé pozdě!!!! :D :D :D Všechno je ztracený!!! Slyšíš?!!!! ZTRACENÝ!!!!! :D
I just made the Last Flight..................... I can now see why you pulled that face at 9:36. Ummmm not quite my cup of tea. The Last Word however, BEAUTIFUL!
The Last Word is my favorite cocktail and so I asked for a bottle of Chartreuse for Christmas and then forked over the $40 at the liquor store for the Luxardo 😂 so worth it 😂
finally got a bottle of green chartreuse. Made a Last Word for the first time. Fan-fucking-tastic cocktail. probably one of my favorites now. looks like i like green chartreuse haha
The last flight seems like it would be out of balance. You gain some sweetness from substituting the bourbon for the gin, but lose a lot of sugar with Aperol instead of maraschino.
Not sure if he is Australian or British 😂 love this channel nonetheless and now I can do something with my green chartreuse instead if drinking it clean!
I wouldn't believe anything could over power Chartreuse, however, I put an oz of OFTD in a Painkilker yesterday, never believed anything could ovsr power 4 oz of pineapple juice either, but it did lol
Ach I've tried and failed to like chartreuse. The Last Word, The Final Ward, Verte Chaude...I live in Dublin so really wanted to like the Dublin Minstrel. But every one tastes like Bertie Bassett's pissed in my mouth 🤢
I'll take yours if you don't want it :D. In all seriousness, there's no shame if you don't like it. It sure doesn't taste like anything else under the sun. If you still want to keep experimenting with the stuff, you could try a Neptune's wrath, where it's only used as a garnish and accent note.
Have you tried the Last Flight? Seems like the Aperol should mellow the Chartreuse a bit, maybe start out with more Aperol and/or lime and less Chartreuse to begin with? This is kind of how I got myself used to Campari, found something where it wasn't so dominant and just played around with that.
@baloonman5 @Matarro1980 Cheers for the advice folks! Honestly got through 2/3 of it and had to give it up. Even if I found something that I could stand it'd still never be worth forking out for a new bottle!
Hello! 22.5 ml is not .75oz! Please use real units when mixing your cocktails, they where all developed using oz, use oz; and yes I understand it's really about ratios, but if you want your cocktail to fit your glass you need to be mindful of volume.

You should try a Last drop, named after a pub in Edinburgh. The same as the Last word but with smoky whiskey😋
Today's my 21st birthday, I want to get a 6 or 7 bottle bar to try out mixing for me and my wife and friends. What should i look for to try to get or look for at the liquor store to start it

Every time he does the smile at the camera when he shakes, it makes me smile. Love it!
signature move......as a btender u need the tips..... and since 50% of drinkers r women hence the smile
That cheesey from mid-shake makes me chuckle every time. Love your content. 😊
Thanks Shanna! 🙌
The Last Word is a top favorite of mine. It’s so perfectly balanced and the color is also visually pleasing. And so easy to remember how to make!
It's a top 10 favourite!! Fabulous cocktail!! 🙂
Same it shifts for me but its always in my top 3
@@Azn_Bran Yes agreed!
I just bloody love this channel 😂 Guys a legend
I agree:)
Thanks!
Fabulous Green Chartreuse cocktails!! Damn they sound fabulous!! Thanks Steve!! 🙂
I actually have a bottle of Chartreuse in my hobby bar. Now I have something to make. Thanks, Steve.
Do you have a shirt with you smiling mid-shake? If so, I'd buy your whole stock
Yes this is the exact comment I was looking for. That wonderful smile mid shake. 😁
I was actually wondering if that was a rehearsed expression? I’m not saying it is fake but I was curious if it was something you had consciously done because a guy your size with a grim expression could be a bit intimidating or at least off-putting to your customers.
Had my first “Last Word” this evening. Very easy drinking, potentially dangerous but truly awesome.
They are hey! I've got another cocktail uploading soon which is similar to the Last Word - stay tuned!
It's scarily easy to put away a string of Last Words (or Final Wards, the rye version that I strongly recommend)
It's the best!
The taste and aroma of Green Chartreuse takes you to another place 🌄
I do love Charteuse on it's own over ice... but these I have to try!

Nothing IS better than a pure chartreuse but your cocktail look great

Something I learned about limes is to pick the ones with the smoothest skin possible. These will yield the most juice.. Yes I actually measured it LOL
@ready 2fly Smooth, not soft. Same ripeness, different texture.
This is great. Green Chartreuse is one of my favorites.
Im going to have to make The Bywater at work tomorrow, looks really interesting.
If you havent already tried it mix up a tailspin using the Death & Co recipe. You wont be disappointed! or a Bad Date, its not quite as well known but is well worth a try.
1/2oz dry vermouth
1/2oz suze
1/2oz green Chartreuse
2 dashes of Absinthe
1 1/2oz Tequila
Stir and strain into a coupe with a lime twist.
What is Suze? I've never heard of it
Vera nice Steve, Picking ingredients I can't get. My heart is broken. the lack of Velvet Falernum is terrible.
You can make your own.
Love them all! Watch your vlogs. Get alcohol delivered. Then make your cocktails. You make COVID fun!
Looking forward to trying these. Been wondering how to use that Chartreuses bottle
I love Chartreuse. Great video

Green delight. Love chartrese. Salud🍻from mexico

My bottle of Chartreuse has been feeling put aside and not given enough attention lately, time to scroll some dust off it!
Can you use Campari as a substitute in the last flight
I made the bywater last night. Holy mackerel it is good! I had a bottle of that Plantation over proof rum. it has been sitting there a while because I can't drink it in anything else. It's been too strong for any other cocktails I've tried. Not just alcohol content, but the flavor too. Anyway, this made it work. One of my favorite cocktails. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome channel
Just mad a Last Flight. Bloody delicious
I just bought a bottle of Chartreuse yesterday. that is a really tasty drink. I think it has something like 160 different herbs in it and only 2 monks know the recipe. it is very closely guarded. I bought the Luxardo too and I have Sapphire gin. I might just make that cocktail after I work off this hangover I got.
I will say, though, Chartreuse is a MUST HAVE in the home bar (or "bah" to quote Steve)
130. 🙃
Never seen the last flight before...going to have to give that a try 👍
Roll your Citrus between your Palm and the Bar Surface to release the Juices before you cut and juice them.
a side note... Green and yellow chartreuse are the exact same thing, however, green chartreuse is macerated longer than yellow, with the addition of honey and saffron.
5:39 Cheers Steve!
I feel like he's looking into my soul while he's shaking those drinks...to steal it.
Awesome
very nice, i'll be right over
Jotting down the Last Flight to try when my local bartender isn't too busy
What can be used as a substitute for averna and velvet falernum?
The Bywater seems like a great cocktail when the weather's a bit cooler,...although I guess the overproof rum makes me think warmer. Now I'm confused.
Does The Bywater require Averna? Right now I just have some Ramazzotti Amaro.
At 50 I’ve had only a few cocktails typically when someone says try this. I’m reading a book and chartreuse came up. I’m curious what this elixir tastes like. Thank you for sharing
Those 3 drink are so amazing, will do it tomorrow after work 😂😂😂 cheers
What's a good substitute for Averna please?
My go-to for Chartreuse cocktails has always been The Tipperary. It is kinda weird how few people seem to know about it though.
Whats the recipe Angry Tom?
@@LetsTalkDrinks 1 1/2 oz Irish whisky, 1 oz. sweet vermouth, 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse, stirred and poured into a chilled glass, no ice. I garnish with an orange peel. Cheers!

What would you think about using Bigallet China-China Amer instead of Averna for the Bywater? Lots of folks in the US swear it's one of the best substitutes for Amer Picon.
nothing like monk juice.
Takes you to another time and place, a better one for me at least.
Any vodka and chartreuse recipes?
Dude, I thought that in your post you were asking something you've never tried:D made me want to taste it ofc so I searched, and what did I find now?

Pretty sure he’s an Aussie. Although he does speak really well which seems to argue against it. 😈😁
Continue the green chartreuse and overpoof rum vibe with a Nuclear Daquiri.
Looks like my insides are burning already just by watching this lol
Love your channel, keep it up!
Tuesday I'll be trying something new. I'll shake a mild whiskey with green tea liquor and some honey, what do you think?
sound good

can we get a face meltingly sour cocktail?
Weirdly found green better than yellow
Ah, you missed out on maybe my favorite Green Chartreuse cocktail: the Bijou!
it was mentioned in the Green Chartreuse poll he put up on YT earlier though..
Finally! Something I can use my chartreuse for other than sore throat medicine. Thanks!

Steve, have you tried Becherovka, herbal liquer from Czech Republic, really popular here in Europe?
Are there any cocktails using Rumple Minze? I'm no longer a shooter kind of guy but still enjoy peppermint schnapps.
Try liquid cocaine

Rumple minz
