One thing to keep in mind about early cocktails, particularly from around the prohibition era, is that they were designed to mask the flavor of really poorly made spirits. Many of the drinks of the time were overly sweetened or citrusy because of this. As the quality of spirits that were readily available increased, many cocktails began to be more spirit forward.
Very true. Most alcohol that people could get their hands on was made by someone local and it was done out in the woods in relatively small batches with minimal equipment. There was little quality control and a lot of people with minimal experience.

I knew about the shaking a martini/bruising the vermouth issue, but it is just so fitting that the person who gives a good explanation of it is Darren.
@@FullOfMalarky Yeah, I defy anyone to tell the difference in a blind taste test, all other things being equal. The thing that makes the most difference, imo, is how much the ice is melting in shaking vs. stirring -- and thus, the ratio of water to alcohol. (And of course that makes the "all other things being equal" part very difficult to control, since stirring always dilutes the drink less than shaking.) Now, that having been said, I think vodka martinis are heresy. Vodka goes with so many things, being for the most part a completely inoffensive liquor. Gin, on the other hand, is not nearly as versatile, and so as I see it, the martini should always be made with gin, which it goes perfectly with.
@@DJHolte meh, the vodka martini is in itself an artform. Where I would never shake a gin a martini, using vodka out of the freezer and shaking the piss out of it with a proper sift is the key to the vodka martini. This freezes any little bit of water from the ice into the most delicate of flakes suspended in the vodka. I just don't think a vodka martini should be called a martini.
I suck at making a good dirty martini, but I love them. Ive never understood why at some bars it tastes amazing, and others its just gross. I guess its just the beauty of the mix.
When you shake gin with ice, it becomes cloudy. This is called bruising the gin. It spoils the look of the drink. Vodka has no problem with this which allows for it to shaken without spoiling the appearance.
The Bloody Mary was invented by a French bartender, working at the New York, in Paris. The best Daiguiris are made on the rocks (no crushed ice), with rum, a little simple syrup, and lime juice. We used to make them in the Anthropology/Archaeology lab, served in beakers. The ethno crowd liked the crushed ice version.
@@stephenschroeder6567 Perhaps with the word "railed" as the key, that should be some sort of combination of the Caboose and the Sex on the Beach -- although I have no idea if those two drinks will mix well together. ;-)
An Old Fashioned is probably my favorite whiskey cocktail. Super easy to make the classic version, BUT it's also really easy to subtly mix up the ingredients & make it interesting. Use a different whiskey (Scotch, Irish, Japanese, Rye), use weird flavored bitters (Columbian tobacco, black walnut, strawberry rhubarb), use flavored syrups (elderflower, elderberry, maple), & any other unusual change you want. Old Fashioned's are just FUN!!
Laura's a trooper today, and Ciara comes across as a friendly supportive drinking coach....or someone who needs an accomplice for some possible ensuing mayhem. Good fun all - slainte!
I can't wait to see the 60's through the 90's! I had a friend who fought in WWII. When he came back to the US after victory in Europe, he wrote in his journal that he and a buddy drank LOTS of martinis in NYC and got kicked out of every bar on 42nd Street.
1:00 UNNECESSARY SOAPBOX RANT: As a bartender in the U.S., an "original" Old Fashioned was - sugar cube, bitters, splash of water to dissolve, rye whiskey. Fruit garnish was not introduced until much later as fruit was expensive to import, hard to keep fresh, and wasteful to use as a mere decoration. Any bartender worth their salt would have asked you which type of Old Fashioned you wanted. Today's modern Old Fashioned is typically made with simple syrup, bitters, muddled fruit, ice and bourbon. This is a much sweeter drink that gradually dilutes as the ice melts, and is generally preferred by women.
I have been watching this channel for several years now. I didn’t hit anything to que this up. It just started playing. And I am fine with this……love ya!
Sugar was common in mixed drinks in the 19th century though. Rum punch, Bishop etc all contained sugar, fruits and hot water. Something the sugar was "burned" or caramelised.
Man I'll tell ya, as a hispanic I'd have a field day in a pub with these awesome people and treat em' to a round or two. Seem like terrific company. Love the Irish, the accent and demeanor. Also, if I ever make a trip I'd like to take a photo with the legendary Phil Lynott statue.
I had one at the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel, where it was supposedly invented. Women couldn't drink in public at the time, so it was made to look like fruit juice, and with a pink color, so it was deemed acceptable for them to drink. It cost 39 Singapore dollars (about $27USD), but it was delicious and refreshing!
The other theory on the "Vesper" Martini was Bond was using his flamboyant description of what is, frankly, a pretty disgusting Martini was he was using it to attract attention to his character and to distract the main villain. It is, technically, an undrinkably strong recipe he invents on the fly.
The other OTHER theory is that it was code for any of his own men "on the inside" so, for example, he orders that drink and the MI6 spy working the roulette table knows to press the button so that bond can win the game and collect the money he needs for the mission.
Well, if Ian Fleming knew anything, he knew booze. Many years of intense study there. The most plausible explanation I have heard starts with the gin: Bond specified Gordon's. Now Gordon's at the time (not now) was 95 proof- unpleasantly stiff if you're drinking it essentially neat. Hence the deliberate dilution.;
Darren slurping away at that daiquiri reminded me of the bobbing for potatoes incident, when he laughed in the tub. I thought he was only dangerous when he ate solid food, like in the dumpling shoot with Gràinne.

There is nothing problematic with shaking a martini. Shaking allows them to get colder faster and may dilute it a touch. The only cocktails, to my knowledge, that you actively avoid shaking involve sweet vermouth, which becomes bitter and cloudy when vigorously aerated. So, you can shake a martini, but never shake a manhattan.
General rule of thumb is citrus=shaking no citrus is stirring. Shaking changes the texture of the drink, shaking also dilutes more than stirring and most stirred drinks are spirit forward do generally require less dilution
Absinthe= Bloody Fairy, Gin=Ruddy Mary or Red Snapper, Bull Shot=Beef Bouillion/Consomme instead of Tomato Juice, Sake= Bloody Geisha Original was just 1/2 vodka and 1/2 tomato juice= Bucket of Blood (1921)
Anyone who would use *garlic olives stored in oil* to make a vodka martini deserves to be sequentially, vigorously tea-bagged by every actor who has ever played James Bond. Even the dead ones. *Especially the dead ones.*
Just a tip when making an old fashioned, it is customary to use a sharp knife to cut the orange rind off the fruit, but I like how you improvised and just chewed it up in chunks instead!
It's amazing to see how many overseas are aware of our American history, while so many of today's American generations don't know jack-diddly about it. My hats off to ALL of you.
my fav' ............Ultimate Caesar Cocktail ½ lime ½ teaspoon celery salt 1 cup Caesar mix, like Clamato (or your favourite Caesar mix) 2 ounces vodka 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish 3 to 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce 3 to 4 dashes hot sauce, or to taste (I like Tabasco here, but you can use your favourite) pinch freshly ground black pepper ice cubes, enough to top glass Garnish Ideas (optional) Pickled green beans Sliced salami Sweet onions Pimento stuffed green olives Celery rib Instructions Wet the rim of a tall glass with lime (don't discard the lime because the juice will be used in your cocktail). Place celery salt on a small plate. Invert the glass into the celery salt to coat. To glass, add Caesar mix, vodka, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime juice (from the lime half) and black pepper. Use a spoon and stir to combine. Top with ice cubes (I like to give everything another little stir). On a wooden skewer (big enough to cover a little more than the width of your glass), garnish as desired. Place over top of your glass. Add a celery stick to your cocktail (great for stirring and enjoying). Serve and enjoy!
I love Daquiris because of the looks I get when I tell people my state is known for drive-thru Daquiris. Of course I initially leave out the part where you're sill not allowed to drink them behind the wheel...
Midwesterner (US) here. The Old Fashioned is the state cocktail of Wisconsin, except they make it with brandy instead of bourbon or rye. Wisconsinites consume the most brandy per capita in the US. And Bláithín is totally right about good Bloody Marys vs. mediocre ones. The former owners of a local bowling alley used to make a killer Bloody Mary, and for a couple of years my brother and I had a Sunday ritual of going out for breakfast with bowling and Bloody Marys afterwards.
You can make an Old Fashioned out of any spirit, really, and bitters are the ketchup and mustard of cocktails. I like a rum old fashioned, myself. 2oz Demerrara rum, black walnut bitters, and a barspoon or two of simple.
Also, we muddle the fruit into the drink, and add soda. 7 up or sprite for an old-fashioned sweet. Squirt or other sour citrus for old-fashioned sour and just club soda for an old-fashioned press.
Martini originated in Martinez, CA. It was simple to make with few ingredients and was refreshing in hot climates as well as cold. After the war, tons of GI's recall drinking it and it was made even more famous by the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life", which featured Martini's bar......
Old fashion: 1 Sugar cube. 3-4 dashes of bitters. Mash the sugar till it’s a bitters paste. Large ice cube. Add 2 oz of a decent Rye whiskey. Stir till large ice cube chills the glass. Orange peel if you like but add one Luxardo cherry with a tad of the juice. Perfect!!!
The secret to a Bloody Mary is unsalted tomato juice, which is hard to find, and celery salt, which is hard to find in the US and almost impossible outside the US. And the secret of the martini is that vermouth oxidizes fast, so if the bottle has been open for more than an hour, you shouldn't use it.
Well I remember the look on her face in the Connecticut sodas video when she smelled the white birch flavor. She look like she stuck her nose into a chemical experiment.
It does if it has lots of sugar in it, like Ireland's Mickey Finn drink, for example. (First time I ever saw her make a face while drinking alcohol is in the Floored games Battle shots part 2 video. Ciara vs Justine Stafford.)
Over here in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, we make our old fashioneds a bit different. We start with 2 sugar cubes, an orange wedge, 3 maraschino cherries, 1 teaspoon of maraschino cherry juice, and 2-5 dashes of Angostura bitters. Muddle that up in a glass. Top the glass with crushed ice. Add 2 ounces brandy. Korbel is the brandy of choice. Then top the glass of with soda water if you want a seltzer, 7-UP soda if you want sweet, or Squirt soda of you want it sour. Garnish with another orange slice and a cherry or two.
AMERICAN BARTENDER HERE..." Clamato Juice" is ONLY used in a Bloody Caesar cocktail created and consumed primarily in Canada. It typically contains vodka, CLAMATO, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and is served with ice in a large, celery salt-rimmed glass, typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of lime
I'm an ex-bartender. Went to bartending school and learned how to make Old Fashions. Never actually had anyone order one, made a couple for myself though. A lot of old drinks from the early 20th century like that "aged out". Nobody orders them anymore, everyone who used to drink them are dead, although they are standard drinks you still learn in bartending school. Bloody Marries are still popular (or at least when I bartended 30 years ago). I loved them. I used to drink them often. You got to do them right though. "Doctor it up" as me and one of my friends used to say. That's adding a couple of dashes of Bitters, Worchester, pepper, and hot sauce. Older people still typically ordered Martinis. As a bartender I watch how many they would order, because I thought they were typically ordered by alcoholics. They have about 4 ounces of Gin or Vodka (depending on your preference). That pretty conical shaped glass holds 4 to 41/2 ounces of alcohol. That's a lot! We also learned where drink originated and how mixed drinks were invented. However, I am from Kentucky and never heard the Old Fashion was invented in Louisville Ky. Makes since though, because Bourbon is a trademark whiskey from Kentucky. P.S. That is an interesting fact that a lot of people don't know. Names of liquor are trademark protected. Kentucky owns the trademark name Bourbon. No one else can call their whiskey Bourbon, except for Ky., without risk of being sued. Tennessee make whiskey basically exactly the same way Ky. does, however, they cannot call it Bourbon. It's called "Tennessee whiskey". Same with other types of spirits. Champaigne can only come from France. California makes it exactly the same way, but they have to call it sparkling wine. Scotch is trademarked by Scotland, etc. Another fun fact: The reason so many cocktails were invented during prohibition in the U.S., since alcohol was illegal, people made their own alcohol (hence the term "bathtub gin". made in bathtubs). In prison, you make "toilet wine" (made from ketchup and any fruit you can steel from the cafeteria, made in toilets) ...lol. Some of this homemade alcohol was so bad, they had to add mixers to make it palatable.
Bourbon can be made anywhere in the USA: Bourbon whisky is: "Whisky produced in the U.S. at not exceeding 80 percent alcohol by volume (160 proof) from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent corn and stored at not more than 62.5 percent alcohol by volume (125 proof) in charred new oak containers." - Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau's Beverage Alcohol Manual, of Whisky. 95% of all bourbon is made in KY, though Texas, NY, California, etc. also distill bourbon.
Literally every trendy brunch spot or gastropub has an old fashioned on it’s drink menu. Classic cocktails have regained a lot of their popularity. The 70’s and 80’s did their best to destroy cocktails but thankfully, good drinks have come back in vogue.
Yeah….. 80% of this is incorrect. Old fashioned are still and probably always will be one of the most ordered and recognized cocktails Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US as long as it follows the rules.

Original was just 1/2 vodka and 1/2 tomato juice= Bucket of Blood (1921)
Never heard of a bloody fairy but ima lover of absinthe so I'm gonna try that. Thanks fellow internet traveler.
Thanks for the entertaining series.
Yes, Nice! Good to see how they react to america's changing tastes!
Growing up as a kid, at family get togethers, My father would always make Jack Rose. And his rum of choice was Myers Rum.
If y'all make a year-end montage of 2024, THIS footage should be included 6:50 🤣🤣🤣 Too funny!
WORD!
The "James Bond drink" aka the Vesper, is made with 3 parts gin, 1 part vodka, 1/5 part Lillet with a twist of lemon peel.
The most beautiful thumbnail I’ve ever seen ❤. Ciara is the best.
And the Bloody Mary is my absolute favorite drink in the world lol.
Part 2 is gonna be brutal when the 70s hit with the Long Island Iced Tea.
Well, I think we now know what Callyanne's kryptonite is, the olive locks her up mid chew...lol.
8:23 had me Howling...Railed on the Beach 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣"There's nothing I like more than sneaking around"!🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:10 Callyann can even make an ice cube stand straight up ❤
Gonna be 1000s of guys walking around beaches in Ireland with daiquiris. 😁
Laura doesn’t even need to say anything. She can just make faces, and I’m thoroughly entertained.
The clam juice version is a Bloody Caesar.
Anyone who would use *garlic olives stored in oil* to make a vodka martini deserves to be sequentially, vigorously tea-bagged by every actor who has ever played James Bond. Even the dead ones. *Especially the dead ones.*
what happened to listing the ingredients along with the name of the cocktail?
Just a tip when making an old fashioned, it is customary to use a sharp knife to cut the orange rind off the fruit, but I like how you improvised and just chewed it up in chunks instead!
8:24 gotta love the honesty, Ciara. Stay classy, lol
It's amazing to see how many overseas are aware of our American history, while so many of today's American generations don't know jack-diddly about it. My hats off to ALL of you.
American bloody Mary’s go WILD.
I’d kill for a blood Mary 😂 sssooo good
"You should stir your martini." FINALLY someone that gets it!
my fav' ............Ultimate Caesar Cocktail
½ lime
½ teaspoon celery salt
1 cup Caesar mix, like Clamato (or your favourite Caesar mix)
2 ounces vodka
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
3 to 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 to 4 dashes hot sauce, or to taste (I like Tabasco here, but you can use your favourite)
pinch freshly ground black pepper
ice cubes, enough to top glass
Garnish Ideas (optional)
Pickled green beans
Sliced salami
Sweet onions
Pimento stuffed green olives
Celery rib
Instructions
Wet the rim of a tall glass with lime (don't discard the lime because the juice will be used in your cocktail).
Place celery salt on a small plate. Invert the glass into the celery salt to coat.
To glass, add Caesar mix, vodka, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime juice (from the lime half) and black pepper. Use a spoon and stir to combine. Top with ice cubes (I like to give everything another little stir).
On a wooden skewer (big enough to cover a little more than the width of your glass), garnish as desired. Place over top of your glass. Add a celery stick to your cocktail (great for stirring and enjoying). Serve and enjoy!
Spot on! Perfect receipe!
I love Daquiris because of the looks I get when I tell people my state is known for drive-thru Daquiris. Of course I initially leave out the part where you're sill not allowed to drink them behind the wheel...
You know the video will be good when you see Callyann. 👍
10:30 “OMG we’re James Bond we’re I’m a bong girl . . .”
Thank you, closed captioning, for that little gem.
Midwesterner (US) here. The Old Fashioned is the state cocktail of Wisconsin, except they make it with brandy instead of bourbon or rye. Wisconsinites consume the most brandy per capita in the US. And Bláithín is totally right about good Bloody Marys vs. mediocre ones. The former owners of a local bowling alley used to make a killer Bloody Mary, and for a couple of years my brother and I had a Sunday ritual of going out for breakfast with bowling and Bloody Marys afterwards.
You can make an Old Fashioned out of any spirit, really, and bitters are the ketchup and mustard of cocktails. I like a rum old fashioned, myself. 2oz Demerrara rum, black walnut bitters, and a barspoon or two of simple.
Also, we muddle the fruit into the drink, and add soda.
7 up or sprite for an old-fashioned sweet.
Squirt or other sour citrus for old-fashioned sour
and just club soda for an old-fashioned press.
Martini originated in Martinez, CA. It was simple to make with few ingredients and was refreshing in hot climates as well as cold. After the war, tons of GI's recall drinking it and it was made even more famous by the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life", which featured Martini's bar......
A bloody Mary is like drinking a pizza if it's made correctly
I already don't like them you don't have to convince me.
minus the carbs,
Poor Laura. I’ve never seen her not enjoy alcohol so much. I want to give her a hug and the drink of her choice!!
Harvey Wallbanger from the '70's
Ah just posted about it, but I thought it was from the '50s for some reason, hope it's in the next video for the later decades.
Rum and Coke
So good to see you so so much of the OG cast on the shoot like this I miss leather jacket guy, though
I'm American and I appreciate cocktails.
Old fashion: 1 Sugar cube. 3-4 dashes of bitters. Mash the sugar till it’s a bitters paste. Large ice cube. Add 2 oz of a decent Rye whiskey. Stir till large ice cube chills the glass. Orange peel if you like but add one Luxardo cherry with a tad of the juice. Perfect!!!
The secret to a Bloody Mary is unsalted tomato juice, which is hard to find, and celery salt, which is hard to find in the US and almost impossible outside the US.
And the secret of the martini is that vermouth oxidizes fast, so if the bottle has been open for more than an hour, you shouldn't use it.
And the vermouth must be refrigerated, especially after opened.
celery salt is at the very least incredibly easy to get in ireland
Those aren't hard to find at all. I am in Kansas and easily find them at Walmart.
If you guys have a Trader Joe's near you in the US they definitely carry it. That's my go to!
My grandmother used to drink daiquiris. When I turned 19 (drinking age back then) I had a strawberry daiquiri party lol.
Ciara has the ultamate poker face . No booze burns or affects her❤
Well I remember the look on her face in the Connecticut sodas video when she smelled the white birch flavor. She look like she stuck her nose into a chemical experiment.
It does if it has lots of sugar in it, like Ireland's Mickey Finn drink, for example.
(First time I ever saw her make a face while drinking alcohol is in the Floored games Battle shots part 2 video. Ciara vs Justine Stafford.)
I still maintain that Ciara could slug down a glass of diesel fuel without batting an eye, and be like "oh, it's a bit smokey".
Over here in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, we make our old fashioneds a bit different. We start with 2 sugar cubes, an orange wedge, 3 maraschino cherries, 1 teaspoon of maraschino cherry juice, and 2-5 dashes of Angostura bitters. Muddle that up in a glass. Top the glass with crushed ice. Add 2 ounces brandy. Korbel is the brandy of choice. Then top the glass of with soda water if you want a seltzer, 7-UP soda if you want sweet, or Squirt soda of you want it sour. Garnish with another orange slice and a cherry or two.
or club soda if you want press.
@@vancomycinb1193 that's what I meant. Thank you! I couldn't think of the right words.
AMERICAN BARTENDER HERE..." Clamato Juice" is ONLY used in a Bloody Caesar cocktail created and consumed primarily in Canada. It typically contains vodka, CLAMATO, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and is served with ice in a large, celery salt-rimmed glass, typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of lime
They are pretty common on the canada border too but thats not to say people like them. I think its more of a dare thing
And SO superior to a bloody mary in every way.
If you get bloody mary in Wisconsin, you get a lunch in the glass. The put celery, smoked sausage, pickle spear, sometimes a hard boiled egg. Cheese.
I’m literally sitting here drinking an old fashioned right now. Living near Kentucky and its lovely bourbons does have some advantages!
I'm an ex-bartender. Went to bartending school and learned how to make Old Fashions. Never actually had anyone order one, made a couple for myself though. A lot of old drinks from the early 20th century like that "aged out". Nobody orders them anymore, everyone who used to drink them are dead, although they are standard drinks you still learn in bartending school. Bloody Marries are still popular (or at least when I bartended 30 years ago). I loved them. I used to drink them often. You got to do them right though. "Doctor it up" as me and one of my friends used to say. That's adding a couple of dashes of Bitters, Worchester, pepper, and hot sauce. Older people still typically ordered Martinis. As a bartender I watch how many they would order, because I thought they were typically ordered by alcoholics. They have about 4 ounces of Gin or Vodka (depending on your preference). That pretty conical shaped glass holds 4 to 41/2 ounces of alcohol. That's a lot! We also learned where drink originated and how mixed drinks were invented. However, I am from Kentucky and never heard the Old Fashion was invented in Louisville Ky. Makes since though, because Bourbon is a trademark whiskey from Kentucky.
P.S. That is an interesting fact that a lot of people don't know. Names of liquor are trademark protected. Kentucky owns the trademark name Bourbon. No one else can call their whiskey Bourbon, except for Ky., without risk of being sued. Tennessee make whiskey basically exactly the same way Ky. does, however, they cannot call it Bourbon. It's called "Tennessee whiskey". Same with other types of spirits. Champaigne can only come from France. California makes it exactly the same way, but they have to call it sparkling wine. Scotch is trademarked by Scotland, etc.
Another fun fact: The reason so many cocktails were invented during prohibition in the U.S., since alcohol was illegal, people made their own alcohol (hence the term "bathtub gin". made in bathtubs). In prison, you make "toilet wine" (made from ketchup and any fruit you can steel from the cafeteria, made in toilets) ...lol. Some of this homemade alcohol was so bad, they had to add mixers to make it palatable.
Bourbon can be made anywhere in the USA: Bourbon whisky is:
"Whisky produced in the U.S. at not exceeding 80 percent alcohol by volume (160 proof) from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent corn and stored at not more than 62.5 percent alcohol by volume (125 proof) in charred new oak containers." - Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau's Beverage Alcohol Manual, of Whisky. 95% of all bourbon is made in KY, though Texas, NY, California, etc. also distill bourbon.
The state drink of Wisconsin is the Brandy Old Fashion.
Literally every trendy brunch spot or gastropub has an old fashioned on it’s drink menu. Classic cocktails have regained a lot of their popularity. The 70’s and 80’s did their best to destroy cocktails but thankfully, good drinks have come back in vogue.
Yeah….. 80% of this is incorrect.
Old fashioned are still and probably always will be one of the most ordered and recognized cocktails
Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US as long as it follows the rules.
@@ajscheeze as soon as I saw “bartending school”, I was like “oh boy”.
I love a Singapore Sling, and it was so fun to try one at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore.
Looks like the most watery old fashioned ever made
Can't wait 'til part 2!
Stay tuned! 👀
