What about the glasses during the gin tasting?
Can you give a recipe for the cocktails they serve at viscosity bar? cool science
Ah, got those in Mexico 🙂
Lol it's only gay if the balls touch
The links to bar equipment on your own site give 404 errors.
I've found babish's long lost brother.
Yes😂😂😂
I was thinking that through the whole video!
Please do a video together!!
That’s what I thought when I saw this channel
I’d drink the F*** out if that last drink.
Me: you want a drink?
Friend: Sure, I'll take a Gin-Tonic
Me: k, I'll be back in 36 hours
Lmao-- and that'll be $42
I’d pay 42$ to drink that lava lamp, honestly.
If a nice neer cost $12 then this must cost a lot. $42 is to much but at least $20
11:07 "Okay, after only 36 hours, we are now ready to build this cocktail" lmao
lmao 😂😂😂😂😷
That's one way to cure alcoholism.
You spent all day making a drink I would chug in 30 seconds, I respect it
That's what staff and chefs are for.
For those who are uncertain on juniper flavor, imagine if a pinecone tried to be a blueberry when it grew up and you get the idea of the flavor. A mildly sweet, piney flavor that tastes FAR better than it sounds.
Cole what a brilliant description! I have a pot of juniper berries that I keep in my cocktail cabinet, it’s a nice change to add a few berries and a slice of lemon.
Okay let me just go taste a pine cone
@@kareenaclarkestudios a good substitute would be pine nuts or pine sap but yea thats the spirit
And celery

Super funny! 😂

I love the vids of advanced techniques I'd never be able to try at home. Cheers Nick!
i tried the complicated one, it tastes worse than typical gin/tonics you can get a a random bar. i guess this recipe is optimized for youtube, not for taste.
@@buddhabrot have you considered that people likes different things?
@@vetleallum2965 Bro that's a dumbass thing to comment. "Looking cool" doesnt mean something tastes good, sure "tasting good" is somewhat subjective but if something tastes like nail varnish then most people aren't gonna be into it.
@@vetleallum2965 well none of the other people liked it as well.

_13 Minute Cocktail Chemistry Video?_ *Amazing!*
I can't believe you just essentially made cucumber popping boba for this that's insanely cool
I'm pretty sure it IS cucumber popping boba 'cause if it feels like you're eating a funny flavoured fish egg, you're just eating popping boba. XD (Just like how Markiplier and CrankGamePlays made chicken broth popping boba for Unus Annus.)
@@RaeneTheFaerie They did? Dang, missed that episode.
I'm baffled no spirit brand is sponsoring you. I'm actually very curious about the brands of gin you picked this time :)
Papera Di Gomma trying to keep the content clean from influence!
@@CocktailChemistry Gotta respect that, hello from boozy Wisconsin!
@@CocktailChemistry I literally just watched a video sponsored by a coffee liquor. lol
I really like Q with Tanqueray, but I did Hendricks with the Fever Tree elderflower and I was like mind BLOWN.
Must try.
Try your favorite gin with Fever Tree aromatic. Its delicious
"the question is will it blend?" - i appreciated that callback to an OG channel
forge in fire?
Rey Josh Ricamara no... will it blend?
Everything blends.... Except chuck Norris
Cocktail Chemistry: makes a video over 7 minutes.
Me: Wait. That’s illegal.
One of the appeals of the classic gin and tonic is the speed of the drink. It's hot. It's July. It's Saturday afternoon. Frozen glasses in the freezer. Gin, also in the freezer. Tonic in the fridge. Nine seconds later you have a G & T. The most complicated thing is the wedge of lime. I will stick to that first version.
Justin Chipman Hi, just try the second gin (Mare) with a Mediterranean tonic water, and rosemarin... it’s my favorite gin ;)
And if you are in a real rush, they don't even have to be chilled. Just pour them on some ice. Still a good GT. (While the ice does melt away fast...)
@@jorgevasquez2607 Jorge, you have my word that I will try it. And, to be fair, it isn't much of a sacrifice to go and buy a bottle of quality alcohol and share it with friends! I live in Colorado and I love locally distilled spirits, but I won't hesitate to try new things. Take care.
@@justinchipman1925 how was it? :)
@@kinezumi89 Jorge's version is excellent. We have the Brits to thank for this. You can get a great gin and tonic on every corner of the planet.
Favorite gins: Botanist, Tanquerey 10, and Hendricks.
Tonic: Jack Rudy concentrate on soda water. Helps me tweak the flavor/intensity.
Bartender told me about Jack Rudy. Great find.
Note from a linguistics nerd: Your local gin labeled "Junípero" is named after Father Junípero Serra who founded the first nine California Spanish missions. A play on words no doubt since the juniper berry is such a prominent botanical in gins. But it is pronounced hoo-NEE-pay-ro (Spanish) or hoo-NIHH-purr-oh (American).
@@succathicdicc5601 Don't listen to this guy.
I liked the trivia lesson.
@@manyflamesaway3522 Isn't that more of an accent thing? Like if you travel 30 miles in the uk you'll probably find a totally different accent I imagine you all have lots of ways of saying the same thing.
@@manyflamesaway3522 well apart from some simplifications in spelling the only difference is can see is aluminium vs aluminum
@@manyflamesaway3522 you you saying you guys say lorry instead of bus? Over here buses carry people and lorrys carry things. I think you meant truck and lorry but we use both largely interchangeably but people will often mean a pickup truck as a truck and the big 10 wheeler things as a lorry. Though this might be American influence.
@@manyflamesaway3522 nah its chill, I see your point. Newer generations (like me) have become a lot more "americanized" over here due to the media we consume from a young age so the line is kinda grey Imo.
Could watch G&T vids endlessly, much as I could drink them. I love trying different gins and even hopped on the Way Back machine this year and have a Rangpur. I made my own tonic syrup in the past but I'm lazy this summer so we started the season with a tonic taste-off and the clear winner was Fever-Tree Refreshingly Light. Fewer notes in the tonic let the gin shine.
I got the Aviary cocktail book for my bday last year. Totally intimidated and haven't made one drink from it yet. Great to see someone actually make this stuff. Love the channel!
Fever tree is my go to! Also, since all the SF bars are closed my wife and I have just been bingeing your videos and improving our home cocktail game.
Fever tree elderflower tonic all the way.. alternatively, spring pea juice and lavender-infused gin season permitting.
For a clean G&T on a budget, I really like Canada Dry tonic and Seagram's gin. Seagram's is very juniper-forward, but tastes really great and well-balanced with Canada Dry. I also like to muddle some mint leaves and half a lime in the bottom of a pint glass, add ice cubes, pour 3-4oz of gin, and top with tonic and stir. You can scale that up and make it in a giant batch, too. It kills at parties, and it's a hell of a summer cocktail.
Awesome video and it is always great to see someone give gin its time to shine. My favorite G+T is Drumshambo Irish Gunpowder Gin with Elderflower tonic water 👌🏻
Juniper berries taste sweet (when picked at the right time). Crunchy yet "gooey"....similar to the texture of a tiny cranberry but filled with fig guts (texture only). They have a wonderful pine-tree note....which makes sense because junipers grow on desert evergreens.
Me: Hey what's up, want a g&t?
People: sure
Me: gimme 38hrs
Original
@@bitcoinandbaddies.1290 what i was thinking
You should try the italian tonic "Tassoni Tonica"! It's not made with quinine but quassin (from the quassia tree root) and is aromatized with italian citron.
I rarely drink alcohol, but I do love drinking tonic, and my favorites have been anything in the Fentiman's line of tonics. Really clean and authentic in their herbal flavors.
Currently drinking a lot of Two Brothers Gin. They are known mostly as a brewery, but they started doing spirits as well and their gin is fantastic. Fever Tree in regular and elderflower has been my go to for tonic. I also almost always put a little bit of rosemary in it.
the "will it blend, of course it will, its just liquid and powder" joke earned you a bell :D
Elderflower tonic water by Fever Tree is my absolute favorite!! So many people tell me it tastes too much like flowers, but that perfect floral note goes so well with such a variety of gins
Big fan of the Mediterranean, but I'll be trying that next.
Try the aromatic one, it's wonderful with certain g&t's, especially fruit ones.
P.s. Gin Mare is nice
For making an English Mule, my favorite ginger beer is Fentimans Ginger Beer. It's not too sweet, nice crisp finish, and has a heat to it that nicely complements the gin.
I do love Gin Mare, but my favourite that I've had is Plymouth Navy Strength. That with a Fever-Tree tonic of any flavour is amazing (Mediterranean is my favourite tonic flavour)
Love that blend tech reference!
I've been really liking Roku gin for G&T lately. I keep coming back to Fever Tree tonic after trying several different ones - worth the money, and yes, the Elderflower is lovely.
I’ve been doing the exact same! Roku Gin is super cheap and pretty great for mixing. Also the Fever-tree Elderflower Tonic is sooo good!
This is also my go-to at the moment.
Recently got the Aviary book myself and seeing you make the gin and tonic is great because I know I’ll get to making that recipe soon! Also love fever tree tonic and Roku gin just as preference to anyone
Great video! I recently acquired some Roku gin and have been making fantastic gimlets with it. The Japanese botanicals are really nice.
I enjoy the simple-to-complex approach of this video. As a FYI, a few passes with a blow torch helps knock down the foam on a liquid.
my favourite gin and tonic is Bombay sapphire gin with fevertree elder-flower tonic water
Bombay gin will put you on another level I tell ya
I have a friend who just loves Gin Tonic... Needless to say that now he's watching the video too ;)
Great video again👌 My favourite tonic is definately fentimans connoisseurs tonic and a finnish Arctic smoked birch tonic. Favourite gin is probably Bombay East because its very peppery and crisp but still classic london dry style
Great video! My tonic of choice is always Fever Tree Mediterranean, love how citrusy it is, I would drink it on it's own.
"and after only 36 hours.." really cracked me up haha!
"today we're making gin and tonic"
-makes a hydrogen bomb
yea im just gonna make a gin and tonic
So many ways to go with GT's. Schweppes has a somewhat overpowering but very nice and sweet hibiscus tonic. Their lavender tonic is good as well. Fever tree's mediteranian tonic works very well with that Gin Mare. As far as garnishes go a few of my favorites that aren't as common are fresh roasted cardemon, bashed lemon grass or even rose petals. Basil works wonders too. Ooh and pommegrenate seeds give amazing color to the drink.
Loved the episode!
I LOVE Ransom old tom gin and fever tree elderflower. They're really good together although it's not your standard, "clean" tasting G&T. A bit sweet so I like to balance it out with a very generous amount of lime juice.
Monkey 47 gin with Fentiman or Fever tree tonic. Sometimes a slice of red grapefruit.
"Okay after only 36 hours we are ready to build this cocktail."
And just last night I was bummed you didn't have a video on gin and tonic.
Great stuff
I love this guy, one of the best speaking voices I’ve ever heard
Try the Gin Mare with the Fever Tree mediterran tonic water. It enhances the mediterran flavour with a very balanced herb note. Not as sweet as the elderflower...;-)
Hands down my all time favourite gin is monkey47 paired with fever tree mediterranean tonic or aromatic if that isnt available
As part of working my way through the Aviary book(s) I did the Gin and Tonic last summer. It was a lot of fun.
I have the same mixing vessel as you.
Also, my favorite way of making a G&T is with 1/2 ounce St. Germain. Gives it that little something else while also smoothing things out.
Probably the best "cheap tonic" out there is Polar. Polar makes a mean tonic and it's only a buck and a half for a liter.
And since you asked, I'm quite fond of Tanqueray Rangpur gin
And they have great flavors that go great with cocktails!
In upstate NY you can get polar for $1 a liter
@@TacoNissan I've been considering looking at jobs to be near friends in Albany. That's just another great reason to move
me, 13: ah, yes, i'll absolutely be using this knowledge
I love gin & tonic, I haven't yet settled on a fav tonic, but I love Broker's gin.
That bubble G&T looked amazing, I usually just put a squeeze of lime & a few slices of cucumber in mine.
that is the most insane g&t i have ever conceptualised. hats off to you, nick.
“For your G&Ts”
Uhm, EXCUSE ME sir, once I’m drunk, these are called GT CRUISERS
Gin: Beefeater. Classic and smooth.
tonic: Fevertree Aromatic. Tastes like angostura bitters and has a beautiful pink colour that really pops
Juniper seeds taste like veggies on their own but very sweet when mixed with other foods. Put juniper on goat and deer, also good on rabbit!
Hey, random ghost account that doesn’t comment ever, but I just randomly found your account and gotta say I love the way you talk about the drinks you make, it’s refreshing to see a bartending account that isn’t overly pretentious abc actually talks about the qualities of the ingredients and liquor that goes into the drink
lol I played this on my TV and my Girl was like "Why is Thor making drinks?" .
I think my favourite gin is four pillars, it's Australian, very nice, I can drink it on its own
Have you tried their shiraz gin? Definitely one you can drink straight.
@@Cheskaz never tried it! But I am a fan of Shiraz, I'll have to give it a go 😀
These videos are so awesome! They inspired us to start our own Channel about Cocktails and Spirits.
Great!
One of the best and simple cocktail but so refreshing. All of types Gin Tonic are so good - but in the end classic Gin tonic is the best :)
Very nice video
Someone would REALLY have to love Gin and Tonics to go through a 36 hour period, for a single drink.
I think this is hilarious because we use Lidl gin and 45p tonic that comes in a 1L bottle and put it in a gherkin jar 😂😂😂
Ok but honestly the Lidl gin is genuinely really really good, like I’ve had fancy gins and shitty gins and I find theirs competes with the big guns
I really love fevertree, they make so good mixers (their ginger beer and smoky ginger also is fantastic!).
For gins, one of my favs is "The Duke Munich", it's from Germany and just fantastic. Also good is "Ableforth Bathtub".
I use that Elderflower Fever Tree tonic all the time in my G&Ts... I sometimes will add a bit of St-Germain to the mix, and maybe a dash of aromatic bitters as well.

*Binging With Babish barges in*
BWB: DID SOMEONE SAY KOSHER SALT?!!
the third one looks like boba gin&tonic.
I tried alot with norwegian gins...
harahorn is by far one of my favs at the moment...and they are creating more and more variations...the classic one in the blue bottle is great, the pink gin and the green gin i still have to try out
Amazing nice to see to see your videos after a long time
If ever thor and binging with babish had an offspring its would’ve been him
Gin and Tonic is my drink of choice and I almost always use the Fever Tree Indian Tonic (the yellow label used in the video) and The Botanist brand gin, super smooth, and a lime slice. My cheap mix option for a party where I don't want to bring the good stuff I get a 12 pack of Schweppes Tonic Water and a bottle of Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire gin.
This channel is insane! blew my mind... and you dude crack me up. Thank you!
I actually use that Fevertree elderflower tonic with Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice gin and either key lime or yuzu juice. Definitely my fav. The Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice gin has many floral notes, so it pairs well with the elderflower.
It would make my life complete, if you made the Mississippi Queen from Regular Show
I have no Idea what that would be but : *DEUS LO VULT!*
It should be a colab with babish
Here in Sweden, we have a local tonic maker that have tonics flavored with elderflower, blueberry, spruce shoots, rhubarb, or cucumber. Cucumber and rhubarb are my clear favorites, especially if you take the cucumber flavored and add freshly ground black pepper and a few cucumber shavings.
I love using Jack Rudy’s Tonic Syrup and top with Seltzer rather than Tonic Water. I think its got a better quinine flavor while not being too bitter, the syrup adds a bit of sweetness
In my experience here in Spain, especially on the coast the balloon glass is super common, as well as the garnishes. Never seen strawberries though, mostly cucumbers for the Hendrix ones. He pretty much nailed it
TH-cam knows I'm an alcoholic.
Great recommendation though this was interesting.
"Ice so clear it could be a Scientologist" I laughed a little too hard at that one
Recently I picked up a gin called Only from Spain. It is a 44% abv dry gin, but very floral since they replace some of the usual spices with Violet and other flowers.
Fever Tree Elderflower with Beefeater 24
almost a 50/50 mix, cracked, clear ice and lemon twist. not too fancy, but strong.
hope to see use of that Ransom Old Tom, so far have just used it for a Martinez.

Hey, have you tried Aviation Gin and if so, do you think it's worth it?
Fun chemistry tip. Blowing alcohol fumes over bubbles pops them. We use this when running chemical assays so the foam doesnt interfere with spectrophotometry.
I just got into Gin and I made one with Gray Whale Gin with an orange peal and some light tonic and it was really great! I used like a 1 to 2ish ratio
This is literally the Binging with Babish of liquor
I'm such an alcoholic that I watch others drinking.
A video about making your own tonic water or syrup would be awesome too.
Damn! I thought I had a flashback of playing Donkey Kong at 4:39! Great video man! I'm loving that banana, cognac, chocolate bitters coffee pour over! I'm subbin'.
Do you ever tried Roku Gin? Consideration?
Martin Millers, Feverlight tree with strawberries & cracked black pepper garnish 🥰
My go-to drink: local aromatic flower infused gin called Crafters (made in Estonia) that changes it's colour to a copper-ish tone after paired with a tonic (I swear by Fever Tree and Fentimans) and a slice of lime, cucumber or a rosemary branch - depends on the mood!
Crafters also makes a classic London Dry gin for which they've won multiple awards, 100% recommend!
One of my favourite G&T’s is Caorunn Scottish gin with Apple tonic water. Or Hendricks with fevertree and cucumber.
