    Great video as always! Keep up the good work. I love brandy and cognac. Wish I could try Argonaut! I'll make a point to look for a bottle next time I'm in the US! Cheers!

    It would sell me on Argonaut way more, if the beginning memorized "speach" was delivered more naturally. But the rest of the video is top notch as usual.

      Yeah they should've just let him tell something about the brand freely, that definitely didn't sell me on Argonaut either 😂

      @Adrian_Creates 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If he was given some specific talking points I think he did great with what he had. That said, I agree those points at the beginning didn’t really “sell me” on Argonaut, but with the things he added later on in his own words and style (the reason we watch and love Leandro, haha), personally, I’ll be giving Argonaut a shot.

      @@kalenberreman8252 it's not what he said, but how. It would've been a lot better if he had just freely told us what he knows about the brand, I guess they wanted him to say exactly that stuff. Still an awesome video

    The "Heart Shaped Box" sounds especially intriguing. Recently I've tried out the "Chapeau", based on dark rum, cassis syrup, balsamic vinegar, with a dash of absinth or some grated liquorice - which was really nice, yet quite difficult to find the perfect balance. I definitely have to try this one!

  • @Xanatos712
    @Xanatos712 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of my favourites (technically cognac):
    2oz Cognac
    ½oz Banana liqueur (Tempus Fugit if you have it)
    ¼oz Mr. Black coffee liqueur
    1 dash Fee's Aztec Chocolate bitters
    Stir & strain into coup or Nick&Nora glass, garnish with a flamed orange zest.

    About the Harvard, the term forgiving makes perfect sense, from my experience, Manhattan’s require great precision and accuracy to get right. Sure, you can make an ok Manhattan fairly easily but to get one just right you gotta get all the measurements spot on.
    I used the term “forgiving” to describe the gold rush cocktail, because while my heart was in it to measure exactly as always I just juiced a small lemon and ended up with a pretty balanced cocktail.

    Cognac has been a staple in my homebar but I haven't really experimented with American Brandy other than Laird's bonded Apple Brandy Ill have to have a look around. That Fat Thumb sounds good though, I love pot still spirits as Redbreast 12, the pot still irish whiskey, is one of my all time favorite sippers.

    Tell Argonaut to get to Nashville. I’d love to buy their stuff but it looks like it’s not sold here and Tennessee has stupid liquor laws so it can’t be shipped here. Regardless, I’ll definitely be trying these with the brandy I have, they look real tasty.

  • @kruzfuz
    @kruzfuz 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I noticed that you put in the pebble ice after pouring the cocktail into the glass for the El Dorado Smash but did it the other way round for the Heart Shaped Box. Is there a specific reason? Dilution maybe? Anyway, the Heart Shaped Box sounds ridiculously good and interesting. Keep up the good work!

    @billfurlow3608 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So, let me preface with how much I love your recipes. I’ve had the Harvard before. Made triple batches of the other three back to back for a family tasting party. Loved the Franks, Loves El Dorado, but Christ, that last one, the Heart Shaped box, both looked and tasted like transmission fluid. Seriously, we were all stumped. I tried again, doubling down on the cinnamon syrup and added an extra half ounce of Cognac, It was better but still reminded me of Vegemite. Is it possible the specs on the vinegar are off? Mine was much darker than yours.
    Regardless, love your Channel love you work!!!!

    I finally got around to making a Heart Shaped Box tonight, having saved the recipe from this video.... I could tell right away the balance was off, so I looked around for recipes on the internet. Everyone else seems to be in agreement that the recipe calls for just a 1/2 a TEASPOON of balsamic, not a friggin 1/4 oz. How Leandro claims to taste anything other than balsamic during his tasting notes is beyond me. Hopefully the next one is better.

    Balsamic Vinegar- almost all is fake. The real stuff is white trebbiano grape juice that’s converted directly to vinegar (not juice > wine > vinegar), and is reduced and darkened to a syrupy consistency with successive barrel aging (not adding color or cooking). Old is mixed into the new, and when you see an age, it is the youngest vinegar vintage.
    In Modena, so precious it was that a small barrel was required as part a dowry payment for your betrothed. Some of it came back to the US and became popular before the rest of Italy discovered the regional specialty. Of course, the USAians were making cheap “balsamic” that most people were unaware of the real deal, and “Balsamic” became so widespread that the EU and Italy could not issue a DOP protection to the name, but “Balsamico Di Modena” IS protected. In recent years, a commodity grade of real Balsamic has become available, but a small proper artisanal bottle will sell for a minimum of $80.
