This is one of my favorite Educated Barfly videos, amongst many excellent ones. From the laugh-out-loud banter to Leandro's expounding on the philosophy of creating cocktails, not to mention the cocktail itself, there is so much to this one. So, so good.
I just rewatched this video. You are so right Leandro, we all took everything for granted - I am so happy to have people like you and Marius, Steve R and all of the others to keep us all going during Covid.
Keep on keeping on, Leandro! The history, and historical drinks, are a major portion of why many of us love what you guys are doing. I'll be getting some grenadine and making this one soon for sure!
Leandro going on about the connection between Shakespeare and Cocktails is just what we need! the passion on these nerdy little "rants" bring so much fun to the videos and give us a glimpse on how important it is to really care when making these beautiful drinks, going way deeper than just following the ingredients and measurements.
All of the monolog in the end of the video I could have said myself to explain why I watch this channel. To be honest it applies not only to cocktails. Leandro Is the man!
I was SUPER excited to see that you made this drink. It has continued to be my absolute favorite classic that I keep going back to if I can't think of anything new to make. Super complex despite looking deceitfully familiar, like you mentioned
Honestly there are almost no cocktails that really dissapoint me when it comes to either new or old styles, but generally, it is the old styles (knickerbocker, Twelve mile limit, old fashioned) that really knock your socks off when you try them first, exactly because of apparent simplicity. It is also my favorite bartender who can pour me a proper -let alone an amazing- old fashioned. So simple means also so easy to screw up and so hard to do well…There is nothing to hide behind.
Making this one tonight fellas. Thanks for your hard work. I was familiar with the 12 Mile Limit before watching this so obviously as a hound for history I was gonna watch the whole thing to get Leandro's dive on it
I love that you got all anal about learning the history to understand the present and there for the future. This is why I watch your channel. I want to be that Shakespearean actor! (..and I love your analogy - on point!) 🙏🏽👌🏽
If I see a normal-looking cocktail, I always click because I figure there must be something about it that made it worthy of an episode, plus I get a daily dose of Leandro/Marius shittalking!
12 Mile Bayou- my local spin- 2oz Bayou bourbon barrell aged rum, .5oz Pierre Ferrand Cognac, .67 oz (2/3oz eyeing it in the jigger) each lemon juice and house made pom-syrup (grenadine). Shake/strain into chilled coupe.
FYI: the 12 (nautical) mile territorial limit actually went into effect internationally in 1982 with the United Nations Convention on the Seas (which "standardized" territorial water claims).
Hello Leandro I was wondering if there were more drinks than the Negroni that uses Campari? I really like Campari, but I find it difficult to find other cocktails than a Negroni
Sure there are. I like the Fogerty which is 2oz overproof rye such as Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond, 1/2oz Campari, 1/4oz Creme de Cacao, and 2 dashes of orange bitters. Stir, serve up with a twist of orange.
Is it lemon or lime? Looked like lime in the bottle and you referenced lime in the tasting notes. But the recipe and overlay both reference lemon. Great vid as always. Thanks.
Hey Leandro, I've got a newbie question- can I, and if so in what proportions, switch a hard to get juice like passion fruit for a passion fruit mixer, like the ones made by Monin?
I just made this now as I finally had all the ingredients! Mine was a lot darker as the grenadine I made a few months ago is super rich red in colour, but it was delicious. I didn't make all the Leandro sounds when I tasted it though.
Is there a book that you would recommend studying that focuses on the classics and the origins and history of cocktails? I’ve been noticing some subtle differences between cocktails made before prohibition, during prohibition and after prohibition. Where do you get most of this information?
Is that Plymouth Sloe Gin I see next to the Campari? I am drinking a sloe gin and tonic right now which is actually good. It would be interesting to see some cocktails that feature sloe gin.
Hello! Recent follower here. Love your videos, especially the newer ones. In comparison to the videos from last year, you are a lot more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Keep up the good work! Also, a question about grenadine here, could it be replaced by another type of juice? I've a hard time finding grenadine in Japan.
What a bizarre thing to complain about, too. Like saying XYZ dish is boring because it starts out with sautéing onions, or browning meat. _Yeah_ when using naturally occurring ingredients then the end results are going to be earth toned.
Yeah, the whole cognac/brandy is a weird one for me: in Sweden we call/spell brandy "konjak" (pronounced the same as cognac) even when it's not from the Cognac region. So the only time we specify whether it's brandy or cognac, is when we put it in writing; spelled konjak or cognac.
Bacardi rum alert. I'll hazard a guess that Leandro's version of this cocktail will taste quite different if you don't Banks 5 Island rum (or a similar white rum with a pot-stilled hogo notes).
@@TheEducatedBarfly Cool. I'm a big fan of Banks and what it brings to a cocktail, so if it kills in the 12 Mile Limit, I'd personally hesitate to use a less distinctive spirit like Bacardi, Appleton, Cruzan, or DonQ. But it's prob still worth a try!
A great cocktail. Perhaps a discussion is in order about “real” Grenadine vs. the toxic red dye #2 colored high fructose corn syrup stuff. It’s very simple to make.
@@TheEducatedBarfly Found it. Mo mentions the 12 mile rule lol. Watch "The Simpsons - The Mansion Family - clip7" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/Ja0Qrd_j7W8/w-d-xo.html
I love how excited Leandro gets when he nails the wash line.
"Maybe I should drink less of the cocktails when I'm tasting it for everybody."
I swear I could hear Greg from How to Drink laughing in the distance.
Chris Pietrzak haha!
Give the man some electrolytes
As a young enthusiast these classics are why I keep coming back. Please keep making them, they are absolutely great.
Jacques Pepin also advocates for learning the classics before you improvise. Everything about this video is brilliant… thank you!
This is one of my favorite Educated Barfly videos, amongst many excellent ones. From the laugh-out-loud banter to Leandro's expounding on the philosophy of creating cocktails, not to mention the cocktail itself, there is so much to this one. So, so good.
These small conversations with Marius are an amazing touch in the video
Magic invisible lime.
Yo man, amazing analogy. Applicable to a much broader spectrum of topics too.

Great video: cocktail and the Shakespeare 👏👍😊

The best way to become great at whatever you do is to first learn the rules, do it well, AND THEN do whatever makes you better. Well said
100% right on the thumbnail mini rant. Love the simple looking drinks.
Solid rants ma dude. Great recipe!
Awesome advice Leandro, master the classics first, embellish and expand later. Mental note made.
Came for the cocktail, stayed for the ending speech, liked for the oh yeah
1/5 ingredients. Time to make some grenadine and buy some booze, apparently.
I love the rum and brandy combo, always looking for more drinks that do this
Just made this and it is wonderful. The bar is so big now that I had everything this time.
I love the banter between Marius and Leandro
Loving the back and forth convo
I was showing my sister this video and she liked it. She said you're adorable.
I was SUPER excited to see that you made this drink. It has continued to be my absolute favorite classic that I keep going back to if I can't think of anything new to make. Super complex despite looking deceitfully familiar, like you mentioned
I love the colour! I like how the colour changes from orange to more of a rust hue
Oh yeeesss... I love classic cocktails, this is something I'll make tonight!
I enjoy your classic cocktail videos the best!

Well you need to walk before you can run so I perfectly agree with your considerations about knowing the classics etc
Damn this is a good drink! Just made it on a hot mid-June afternoon. So refreshing and satisfying. Thanks
I love that you got all anal about learning the history to understand the present and there for the future. This is why I watch your channel.
I want to be that Shakespearean actor! (..and I love your analogy - on point!) 🙏🏽👌🏽
Thanks!
I like the ones where I have all the ingredients already. I'll try this tonight.
window dressing. great analogy.
Finally a cocktail with easy to find ingredients and that is already in my he bar
I always forget about this drink but it’s such a great classic
If I see a normal-looking cocktail, I always click because I figure there must be something about it that made it worthy of an episode, plus I get a daily dose of Leandro/Marius shittalking!
totally agree with you ... you gotta always pay your dues in whatever your doing ... be it a hobby or a career ... for me its always about grass roots
I would drink 12 miles and I would drink 12 miles more
12 Mile Bayou- my local spin- 2oz Bayou bourbon barrell aged rum, .5oz Pierre Ferrand Cognac, .67 oz (2/3oz eyeing it in the jigger) each lemon juice and house made pom-syrup (grenadine). Shake/strain into chilled coupe.
For this I used the rittenhouse rye, maggies farm white rum (a pittsburgh distilled white rum), and the pierre ferrand amber.
I received that t-shirt yesterday. It's pretty sweet.
"and if you don't have Brandy, you can use VSOP Congac..."
lol. That made me chuckle.
TheBrothergreen I mean American Brandy smart guy...we’re all aware that Cognac is Brandy LOL
FYI: the 12 (nautical) mile territorial limit actually went into effect internationally in 1982 with the United Nations Convention on the Seas (which "standardized" territorial water claims).
Hello Leandro
I was wondering if there were more drinks than the Negroni that uses Campari? I really like Campari, but I find it difficult to find other cocktails than a Negroni
PolaroidFreak 600 Try the Boulevardier. It’s related to the Negroni, the ingredients are equal parts (30ml) of Campari, sweet vermouth and bourbon.
Sure there are. I like the Fogerty which is 2oz overproof rye such as Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond, 1/2oz Campari, 1/4oz Creme de Cacao, and 2 dashes of orange bitters. Stir, serve up with a twist of orange.
PolaroidFreak 600 There are some on this channel, like the Jungle Bird, Enzoni, Boulevardier, Americano, Jasmine, Tarzan, Old Pal, Garibaldi…
Oh Lord. The analogy at the end? I must be a fan because I actually didn’t bail.
how long does your grenadione last and how do you store it? I'm afraid if I make some at home it'll go bad fast.
Long live the classics
Is it lemon or lime? Looked like lime in the bottle and you referenced lime in the tasting notes. But the recipe and overlay both reference lemon. Great vid as always. Thanks.
simplecircuit it’s lemon, if I said lime in the tasting notes I made a mistake LOL. Happens when you’ve been drinking
The Educated Barfly Thanks for the quick response. I’ll be making this drink for the weekend. Definitely looking forward to it.
Hey Leandro, I've got a newbie question- can I, and if so in what proportions, switch a hard to get juice like passion fruit for a passion fruit mixer, like the ones made by Monin?
Wow
I just made this now as I finally had all the ingredients! Mine was a lot darker as the grenadine I made a few months ago is super rich red in colour, but it was delicious. I didn't make all the Leandro sounds when I tasted it though.
Did you have an argument with Marius right before the filming? Anyway, i totally agree with you when ypu gave your take on the classics.
Is there a book that you would recommend studying that focuses on the classics and the origins and history of cocktails? I’ve been noticing some subtle differences between cocktails made before prohibition, during prohibition and after prohibition. Where do you get most of this information?
It has an uncanny vanilla finish, but overall very pleasant.
Is that Plymouth Sloe Gin I see next to the Campari? I am drinking a sloe gin and tonic right now which is actually good. It would be interesting to see some cocktails that feature sloe gin.
Garrett Evans I’ve done some recently and have a couple coming up. Check out the episode on the sloe Gin Martinez

Also, a question about grenadine here, could it be replaced by another type of juice? I've a hard time finding grenadine in Japan.
Simon Lundh thanks! Definitely took me a sec go figure out the whole on camera thing!
Marius must be brought to justice for his pedantry.
I'm curious, can you use an irish whiskey for an Old fashioned?
Corey Jackson absolutely you can but I’d suggest using Demerara sugar for it!
Not that big a fan of tiki drinks. I really enjoy your classics videos and many I want to try. Interesting history behind this one too 👍🏻
Don't judge a cocktail by it's color!
But rather by the character of its content!! 😉
Arcturus stole my cringe comment 👏
What a bizarre thing to complain about, too. Like saying XYZ dish is boring because it starts out with sautéing onions, or browning meat. _Yeah_ when using naturally occurring ingredients then the end results are going to be earth toned.
Hey! I've got all the ingredients! Well, Grönstedts VSOP instead of brandy, but looks like I get to try a new cocktail tonight! Sweet!
If you have Cognac, you have brandy!
True story brandy isn’t cognac but cognac is brandy! VSOP is what you should be using!
Yeah, the whole cognac/brandy is a weird one for me: in Sweden we call/spell brandy "konjak" (pronounced the same as cognac) even when it's not from the Cognac region. So the only time we specify whether it's brandy or cognac, is when we put it in writing; spelled konjak or cognac.
Is the grenadine you used for this the same as the recipe video you made a while back, or is it different?
I guess the “drink less of the cocktail” tasting rule went right out the window 😂
Marius spitting bars at leandro. 🥰🥰
Romeo + Juliet is 🔥
If you don't know about video tapes, you aren't old enough to be drinking anyway.
Bacardi rum alert. I'll hazard a guess that Leandro's version of this cocktail will taste quite different if you don't Banks 5 Island rum (or a similar white rum with a pot-stilled hogo notes).
Ed O'Connor yeah true but you can use plantation 3 star and it’ll still be brilliant or any other white rum
@@TheEducatedBarfly Cool. I'm a big fan of Banks and what it brings to a cocktail, so if it kills in the 12 Mile Limit, I'd personally hesitate to use a less distinctive spirit like Bacardi, Appleton, Cruzan, or DonQ. But it's prob still worth a try!

He has done this in previous episodes. And he hopes you will make your own per this: th-cam.com/video/FtvsfonOt7A/w-d-xo.html
He looks drunk and it's amazing!
Wasn't there an old Simpsons episode where Homer had a speakeasy boat outside the limit? I don't know if they made this cocktail but.
Constantine Scortis oh man I hope so! I’m gonna find that clip!
@@TheEducatedBarfly Found it. Mo mentions the 12 mile rule lol.
Watch "The Simpsons - The Mansion Family - clip7" on TH-cam

People who don’t know what a video tape is aren’t old enough to drink alcohol
"You got the lime"......which isn't in the cocktail at all lol
