Had to re-upload due to technical issues - sorry if things were glitchy. Thank you for your patience! Also I'm reserving the right to change this list at any time 👀🥃 There's too many good ones
The first drink I called my favorite drink was the Boulevardier. A local pizzeria/bar called theirs a Steve McQueen since they used Bulleit bourbon. Since then, I've found myself teaching bartenders how to make it because when I ask for it, they look at me like I'm speaking a different language. I've always appreciated you including this drink into your videos and this was a perfect start to my weekend. I hope a bottle of bourbon is in my Easter Basket. Cheers!
Loved this! I’d say Paper Plane and Old Fashioned. I make my Old Fashioned with browned butter-washed bourbon and maple syrup, with a tiny pinch of salt
Love that you’re giving Old Grand Dad some love, Anders! The bourbon craze has been annoying for those of us who use to be able to find whatever brand we wanted when we wanted. The older bonded bourbons still never fail to disappoint and I’ve always thought they work quite well in cocktails.
This list is not just 5 great bourbon cocktails, it's also home for me (especially Old-Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, Boulevardier). They are always my first thoughts when it comes to cocktail. So good the bourbon!
I don't know how I ever stumbled across the recipe but I do love a Blushing Betty. Bourbon, pink grapefruit juice and simple syrup, shaken over ice. One of my wife's favs as well
I know I'm a little late to the party on this, but I have my own version of the Artist's Special that I have made for quite some time. It replaces sherry with port, and uses black current syrup for the red currant.
The Boulevardier is one of my all time favourite Cocktails. I like making it with islay whisky (Laphroig 10 or Lagavullin 16 do really well) and adding about a barspoon of a sweet sherry to round it out a bit.
Hey! Glad to see you used the bonded Old Grandad. It doesn't get enough love since its a lower shelf bourbon. But its my go to. Thanks for the channel!
When I saw the headline to this video, I was really hoping The Revolver was going to make the list. Here’s to hoping it inspires its own video! Cheers!
I am not working where I was and we were off anyway. I forgot what day it was. I love bourbon. This is one list where I have actually made some of these. The others I would love to try.
My two Maine Coon cats would have a field day with that microphone... haha. There is an episode of Billions where two characters debate making Boulevardiers, and end up making Old Pals, which is more along my line of whiskey, anyway, preferring Rye over Bourbon any day. But your glass for the Boulevardier is truly awesome, where do I find that? Or is it an antique? I like the new angle for the photography, perhaps this could become distracting if Freya becomes frisky?
There's an excellent riff on the Boulevardier where you swap half the Campari for Creme de Banane. So; 1 ounce Bourbon 1 ounce Sweet vermouth 1/2 ounce Campari 1/2 ounce Creme de Banane. Orange twist (squeeze and drop it in)
Suggestion for a video! How about a drink that's for actually getting hammered. Like for house parties and stuff, where you don't really care about how you behave later in the evening ^^
Thank you for your creative content and your genuine interest in classic cocktails. Your knowledge shines through. I've been making whiskey sours and old fashions using your measurements and they are amazing drinks.
7 months late, but the Boulivardier is without a doubt the winner in this group, in my humble opinion. I don't drink Campari because of the Red40 in it, but there is a lovely red apertivo liquor from Forthave that makes an incredible drink. Try with lemon oil expressed over the top, really opens up the drink in my opinion.
Ranking things is also hard for me because it constantly changes. My last "I'm stuck on this, so let's drink it again and again" was a Ginger Whiskey Sour. My current is just neat Orange Whiskey.
Horribly good variant for the Boulivardier I use at home because I'm always out of vermouth. I use a nice sweet Port (I prefer Pacheca if you can get it) or local Madeira (just Justinos or Full Rich) in my Boulivardiers. It comes out slightly sweeter and a little more alcoholic, but you can still form a good balance and maybe push that Campari a bit if its intensity doesn't work for you. The latter also adds a bit of raisinyness which is a nice change and goes well with the bourbon/scotch and compari. I won't do that in a Negroni (I like the intensity more with Gin), but I have stopped making Boulivardiers with vermouth altogether.
I enjoy your TH-cam channel, especially episodes on bourbon cocktails. Would like to know where you purchase your cocktail glasses. Is there a particular website you recommend?
Boulevardier has been a long time favorite of mine. Another really nice one is The Millionaire (technically Millionaire no. 2 because there's debate over which iteration is the original one; I prefer the bourbon version)
Anders, love the videos and information. Many thanks. Can you answer a question please....... Is there another name for the Boulivardier if you use Canadian Whisky for a bit of sweetness?

Yes! Let's see some sequels!
A lemon meringue cocktail - there's a challenge.
Maybe do an update video once a year, especially if you bumped one off the list and subbed in a new one. 😊
@@AlonzoTheArmless Yes!! Great idea!
A little surprised the Manhattan didn’t make the list but otherwise solid!

Freyja's input was immeasurable, great job
that was an incredible and illuminating answer, good gworl Freyja tuttututututut who's got a good chinny tuttuttuttutut 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
@@acrophobe A wonderful bitch.
The Boulevardier deserves its own episode!!! 😋👍
Loved this!
I’d say Paper Plane and Old Fashioned. I make my Old Fashioned with browned butter-washed bourbon and maple syrup, with a tiny pinch of salt
Damn that sounds fantastic

Happy Easter! We love old fashions with barrel strength bourbon-yummo
Lemon Meringue Pie with Bourbon is the perfect description, and is exactly why I love a Whiskey Sour!
Your pup is adorable !!! Really cool way to make the old new again !!!
Good girl!
You'd made the Boulevardier in the Manhattan to Margarita video, I loved it
Time for bourbon drinks all Easter weekend!
The New York sour twist on a Whiskey Sour is probably my favourite drink ever.
Old Fashioned & Renewal fan here but you've got my curiosity up for expanding my horizons. Cheers!
Glad to see I’m not the only one who adds an orange wedge to the mixing glass before stirring.
I don't know how I ever stumbled across the recipe but I do love a Blushing Betty. Bourbon, pink grapefruit juice and simple syrup, shaken over ice. One of my wife's favs as well
We rolled with Boulevardiers tonight, making one as listed, and one with Aperol instead. We liked them both, and prefer these to the Negroni.
I know I'm a little late to the party on this, but I have my own version of the Artist's Special that I have made for quite some time. It replaces sherry with port, and uses black current syrup for the red currant.
My fav is one part bourbon,one part bourbon with a splash of bourbon
Definitely trying your OF recipe. Here in S.Florida I enjoy a Bourbon Smash year round. So refreshing.
I was thinking of suggesting a video focused on bourbon cocktails, and there you go. Perfect, thanks Anders!
Best of your recent videos, especially for a bourbon lover such as myself. Keep ‘em coming!
The boulivardier is one of my goto cocktails especially in fall. I do like to sub the bourbon with rye
The Boulevardier is one of my all time favourite Cocktails. I like making it with islay whisky (Laphroig 10 or Lagavullin 16 do really well) and adding about a barspoon of a sweet sherry to round it out a bit.
Doesn't the Lagavullin or Laphroig set off the smoke alarm?
Hey! Glad to see you used the bonded Old Grandad. It doesn't get enough love since its a lower shelf bourbon. But its my go to. Thanks for the channel!
Finally!!! You give THE BOULIVARDIER its due!!! One of my favorite cocktails! I do prefer mine over a crystal clear rock though.
My absolute favourite is a Manhattan cocktail 🍹 made with good Bourbon 🥃
Almost perfect from Canlis in Seattle or Trinidad sour with egg white. In summer a Negroni with meletti red and alessio vermouth (very specific)
My new favorite is the Revolver cocktail - tried it for the first time last month.
Manhattan (perfect or black) and the Paper Plane. Love your channel- great work as always!
When I saw the headline to this video, I was really hoping The Revolver was going to make the list. Here’s to hoping it inspires its own video!
Cheers!
Would really love to see you guys make a video of my favorite Bourbon cocktail, The Hunter.. Mmmmm....
I am not working where I was and we were off anyway. I forgot what day it was. I love bourbon. This is one list where I have actually made some of these. The others I would love to try.
The Boulevardier is a favorite of mine. I do tend to use Rye, which I prefer to Bourbon in almost any cocktail. I will be tryong the Deschler soon.
Love these! My favorite is still the paper plane! Can't find anything that beats it
I also love an Old Fashioned made with Good Bourbon 🥃
My two Maine Coon cats would have a field day with that microphone... haha.

For my old fashioneds I use pure dark maple syrup instead of Demerara.
Can’t beat a good old fashioned.
There's an excellent riff on the Boulevardier where you swap half the Campari for Creme de Banane. So;
1 ounce Bourbon
1 ounce Sweet vermouth
1/2 ounce Campari
1/2 ounce Creme de Banane.
Orange twist (squeeze and drop it in)
Hey Anders, you heard of the Bourbon smash thats one of my fav right now. Definitely going to try the Old Fash and the fancy Boulevardier. oui oui
My Freya appreciated your Freyja's input!😉
I judge a bar by how well they make an old fashioned. The result lets me know if I'm ordering cocktails at that bar or sticking with draft beer.
I love that you are using OGD Bonded bourbon! It really is amazing for the price!! Love your presentation as well.
Oh god, loving the Deshler! That’s lethal!😂😂
I make the Boulevardier with rye and I love it almost as much as a regular Negroni
Love the Old Fashioned, but the Boulevardier, not souch. I find it a little too sweet. Thanks, Anders!
Suggestion for a video! How about a drink that's for actually getting hammered. Like for house parties and stuff, where you don't really care about how you behave later in the evening ^^
Thank you for your creative content and your genuine interest in classic cocktails. Your knowledge shines through.
I've been making whiskey sours and old fashions using your measurements and they are amazing drinks.
Oh man. So tempted to take Monday and Tuesday off next week so I can make one of these a night. Damn, you make them look so good!
Beautiful drinks. I'd be squeezing a Renewal in there somewhere!
Thank you! Great video
Boulevardier, New York Sour, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Kentucky Mule.
Thumbs up for Freyja!!! 😍😍😍
The best interview I've ever seen.
For me as we are approaching summer it's gold rush, mojito and margarita season lol
Boulevardier is 2 to 1 to 1 and is bomb
7 months late, but the Boulivardier is without a doubt the winner in this group, in my humble opinion. I don't drink Campari because of the Red40 in it, but there is a lovely red apertivo liquor from Forthave that makes an incredible drink. Try with lemon oil expressed over the top, really opens up the drink in my opinion.
That glass for the Boulevardier just makes it. What's the story?
Great video as usual. The old fashioned is my go to for sure.... It's always awesome. Never done with orange piece. Going to try it tonight!
Have not tried THE DESHLER yet. All the others are great choices.
Ranking things is also hard for me because it constantly changes. My last "I'm stuck on this, so let's drink it again and again" was a Ginger Whiskey Sour. My current is just neat Orange Whiskey.
The first time I had a Boulevardier, it was lights out city. That one hits hard. 😂
Dang it I was trying to not go buy a bottle of bourbon for the weekend....But I guess I have to now. Thanks ;)
Love it. Do a whole series on sherries and also Amari would be awesome.
Ahh yes the cocktail of wisconsin old fashioned 🎉
Nice list!
I once ordered a Boulivardier, and the Bartender came up to me and asked how it was made. Kids.
Horribly good variant for the Boulivardier I use at home because I'm always out of vermouth. I use a nice sweet Port (I prefer Pacheca if you can get it) or local Madeira (just Justinos or Full Rich) in my Boulivardiers.

Lovely, thanks!

I love a good Sazerac and a Vieux Carre. Granted with Rye, but I also prefer rye to bourbon
Boulevardier has been a long time favorite of mine.
Another really nice one is The Millionaire (technically Millionaire no. 2 because there's debate over which iteration is the original one; I prefer the bourbon version)
Boulevardier but use Montenegro instead of Campari, amazing!
Sometimes an easier question for me to answer is what's my favorite spirt, rather than what's my favorite cocktail and then go forward from there
My favorite whiskey cocktail by far is the boulevardier, and I make it with Anders's measurements. I tend to prefer using rye whiskey in it though
Great job, Freyja! 🎉❤
If you do a rye cocktail video, I would like to vote on one of my new favorites to be included, The Red Hook!
You should definitely make Freyja's favorite drink! I'm not sure how to spell it- is it hhhhhHHHHHrrromphchomp? I'm sure it will be delicious.
Kentucky Buck standing outside looking in the window furious…
Freya looks more hungry than thirsty.
Definitely more hungry
Where is the Paper plane? Great drink!
Old Fashioned for it's simplicity and taste ! ... but I'll also have to try the Boulivardier ! Cheers ! Thanks for the video ! ;-)
If you used a really sweet lemonade, you think you could substitute that for the fresh squeezed lemon juice in a whiskey sour?
I’ve never tried The Deshler, have to try that one. I’m a big Scofflaw fan though, so that would have been in my top 5 list.
I am curious to see him finish every drink before moving on.
Freya is so sweet omg 💖 also: bourbon forevah 🥃
I wonder, why don't people usually do the reverse dry shake for whisky sour?
I think we agree on top rated chew toy.
Great video! Boulevardier for the win! ❤
By the way…. Old Grandad’s is the damn best! For me, it trumps nearly every other bourbon.
Anders, can you please share a bourbon milk punch recipe?
Anders, love the videos and information. Many thanks. Can you answer a question please....... Is there another name for the Boulivardier if you use Canadian Whisky for a bit of sweetness?
My wife loves a good Algonquin cocktail. Hard to find someone who knows what it is let alone how to make a good one.
Anders you’re the best !!!
Cheers Jack
My favorite bourbon cocktail would have to be a Paper Plane, though I do find the bourbon can get lost in it.
What glass does Anders use for the Boulevardier in this video?
My favorite drink is FREE!
So is a gold rush just a cold version of a hot toddy?
Great video! Where can I get one of those sweathshirts? ;-)
