    Had to wince when the cocktail was knocked over at the end. I literally dropped three cocktails, a lemonade and a beer directly on the floor in front of a guest's table last night and watching the French 75 tip over gave me flashbacks lol

    A bartender at a favorite steakhouse adds St. Germaine to his French 75 and it makes all the difference, for the better.

      Yes, And I've only had one with vodka. I thought that was traditional

    Honestly love your videos Anders. Every other channel I’ve attempted to watch was either too stuffy or the bartender too arrogant. You approach bartending with the right spirit (hah! see what I did there?) and make it fun. Your videos have inspired me to build my bar thank you!

    Made the French 75 with London Dry and it was delicious. Everyone wanted seconds, and thirds. Amped up the lemon and syrup in the second version and every liked the initial dryer version. Hence the “thirds”

    Currently on my 6th month as a ''bartender'', your videos were the first I ever watched.

      I've been a mixology nut for several years, and finally got into an ideal part-time gig hosting a couple of craft cocktail nights a month at a local spot. It's a ton of fun.

    Fun fact; In Belgium we call the minimal noise when you open a bottle of sparkling wine (champagne, cava, proseco, etc) a "Nun's fart".
    It's the noise when you can just barely hear it.
    Not sure if other parts of the world have a name for that noise, or if the term is a global thing.

    This was among the cocktails we offered at our neighborhood New Years Eve gathering. They quickly became the only cocktail requested, almost everyone became overserved. Navy strength gin. No worries, everyone was walking home.

    We serve these in a coupe glass - with a much shorter lemon twist 😄. The coupe just makes it seem fancy, I think. We had a few customers start to order it with Empress 1908 gin and it does make for a visually appealing cocktail. Gives it a nice lavender color similar to an aviation.

    I’m watching this in preparation for new years but I thought I’d mention this. I work at the WW1 museum in KC and one day while wandering around a fellow volunteer came up to me and pointed out our real French 75 gun. It’s a relatively small piece of artillery compared to the rest of the stuff we have. It’s about chest height. And it was inordinately simple. No weird magazine hold you canon shape but it apparently is known for it absurd rate of fire. I was told a story that apparently during a certain battle it was being fired so quickly that they got a guy to place wet rags on the barrel so it didn’t overheat. It had a really horrific nickname but I can’t remember it and for some reason it feels too macabre to mention.

  • @greggm206

    I sure needed such wonderful people making one of our favorite cocktails today. LURV that you made both!!!! I'm a cognac fan but I know a gin fan. He's wrong. Are y'all available for a private workshop to learn how to master the lemon curls?? Thank you both.😻

    • @matty1two3
      @matty1two3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’ve probably mastered the ribbon by now, but in case I’m wrong…try wrapping the lemon peel tightly around a bar spoon. You get tight curls and an easy garnish action by letting it fall off the end of your spoon :)

  • @johnolmos8670
    @johnolmos8670 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I do a blend of both 1/2 oz Bummer and Lazarus Gin (grape based), 1/2 oz Cognac, 1/2 oz lemon juice, 1/2 oz simple syrup, champagne (always champagne). I always pour the champagne first so it incorporates easier.
    All the Milk and Honey guys say to serve in a big Coupe glass and use a more full cocktail proportions but I only have flutes at my place

  • @ashleyclaiborne1182
    @ashleyclaiborne1182 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Its worth noting that the style of garnish in this cocktail will have a lot of nucleation sites to agitate the sparking wine so it will go flat very fast. Loved the video! Cheers!

    • @Barprints

    IF you want a REALLY fun French75, use one of those Butterfly Blue Pea Flower gins like "End of Days Luna Blue" or "Conniption." You'll get AMAZING floral notes on the nose, and a beautiful pink-lavender color...
