Head's up, recipe list shows a Russian Spring Punch instead of Old Cuban. This is a crazy good list, very excited for all 4 I haven't made yet. Rare for a list video to go 100% on drinks that really pique my interest. I think the minds behind them helped. All pretty approachable too. Thanks, cheers!
And even the Russian Spring Punch would be an excellent addition to anyone's repertoire. Although, Old Cuban is a house favourite here, so I am a bit biased :D
I’ve watched zillions of cocktail videos on youtube and this is the first one where I want to literally make every single cocktail showcased. Five out of five look fantastic.
I probably should have pinned this the moment this video went live but in the Bourbon Renewal recipe I subbed out the crème de Casis for the house made crème de Mûre I did a while back. Thought the extra notes of wine and botanicals would do well for the Bourbkn Renewal. I did not mention it in the video (not sure why 😂) and I didn’t rename the cocktail, not sure if it’s different enough to be truly something different, but it was a very good sub. I’ve made this cocktail maybe six times on this channel and I like to offer a small riff or something new for ya’ll when I do.
I wondered as I watched.... Mine, made as called for with Creme de Cassis, seem to have a real nice "plummy" note to them. By the way, speaking about adding preserves or marmalade, I learned in a Florentine bar one terrific afternoon to use orange marmalade in a whiskey sour, yum!
Variation experimentation is more than welcome! I had just bought a ruby port wine for the first time (cause why not) and actually subbed it in the for the creme de XXX as I was surprised how sweet and berry like it was, turned out fantastic!
Love me a Cable Car, usually don’t get myself spiced rums so I make a spice syrup to sub the simple (usually cinnamon and vanilla and a few cloves) regular rum (Don Q Gold usually) and it is *chef’s kiss*! Great vid as always! 🎉
I love The Dominicana. I used Flor de cana 7 years and I was blown away the first time I tried it. Thanks for the other suggestions. Quite sure at least a few will join my home summer menu. Cheers!
I made the Cosmonaut yesterday with strawberry preserves. Delicious! Since strawberry and basil go well together, I was thinking of making the Cosmonaut with strawberry preserves and muddling a bit of basil in the shaker (like the Gin-Basil Smash).
Between the Breakfast Martini, Steve The Bartender's King's Breakfast, and the Cosmonaut, I think I'm feeling the itch to play around with more variations on gin & jam--my jar of Apricot preserves wants in on the fun!🍓🍋🍑
All amazing cocktails! Not quite sure I'm going to order a drink that contains preserves at a bar unless I want to get death stares lol but interesting concept to try at home :)
Interesting coincidence, just made a cable car as well! The rare spiced rum cocktail is always enjoyable, this one might be one of my new favorites. I'll have to try preserves in cocktails too. Thanks!
Seems like a Cosmonaut and a Clover Club are quite similar - modulo the egg white. I save the solids when I make raspberry syrup for topping yoghurt or pancakes. Likely worth a try in the Cosmonaut. And I have the homemade crème de mure (your recipe) so can’t wait to try the Bourbon Renewal. Thanks!
Wow, the Old Cuban is fantastic! I may never order another mojito again. I was too cheap to pop some bubbly, so I just topped with soda, but it was still great.
If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend adding an orange spiral to your cable car the next time you make it, since it really enhances the orange notes from the curaçao.
We've actually got our own version of the Bourbon Renewal at our restaurant created by one of our bartenders. Uses bourbon, mure, raspberry syrup, lemon juice and a bit of Fernet Branca. Called a 'Bramble On', named after the Led Zeppelin song 'Ramble On' (being a "Bramble' riff & everything).
Looks like I'm going to love the Dominica. I noticed you're using more rum brands from the big companies. Any chance you'll feature stuff like Hampden or Veritas or Hamilton rums?
Great video as ever. Where can I find a bottle like the one you use for whipping the cream? I don’t even know what to search for online. All I can find are NO2 bottles when all I want is a neat little bottle like yours!
Nice video. Do you use 1:1 or rich simple syrup for your drinks? It would be very nice to have this Information in every video. Its getting hard to remember which youtuber uses which kind of syrup.
We gotta partner with Brands to make a living, TH-cam ad rates don’t pay enough to live on. But hey, ya get good information and there’s always the skip ahead if your really not into it
I agree with the "don't get stuck on traditionalism" deal but traditionalism has its place. I'm more in the middle here. As I was taught a while back, the specific ingredients in a cocktail are what the drink's name is all about. The name refers to a very particular flavor profile, so the name-to-ingredients list matters a lot in my book. You're free to change the ratios of the ingredients to your liking but it becomes a new drink altogether when you change the ingredients themselves. I personally give a grudging pass to "close enough" substitutions if you were shorthanded on the required ingredients. There is a point where you take it too far, and that stifles creativity. Don't be afraid to experiment and create new drinks. you may end up making the next modern classic, but also remember to respect tradition when you are making a specific established drink. If you make an offshoot or riff, give it a new name! The new name not only distinguishes your riff but also prevents confusion from the scenario of several recipes overlapping on one name.
@@TheEducatedBarfly I didn't read the title, I watched the video and it didn't say what it was (Leandro's Riff). It's just one of my favorite bourbon cocktails and I know it well)))

I will admit to being slightly disappointed I can't trust your tasting notes for the drink, but I'm still ready to make my own!
I believe the Bourbon Renewal also calls for Angostura bitters. One of my favorite drinks. I've also found it to be just fine with Creme de Mure.

Can't wait to get back home from three weeks in the French countryside and try some of these!!

That cosmonaut is delicious! I had to make it with strawberry preserves instead, but I garnished with three fresh raspberries. Sooooo good!
Your last advice about trying all different variations and recipes is gold !
I love The Dominicana. I used Flor de cana 7 years and I was blown away the first time I tried it.
Thanks for the other suggestions. Quite sure at least a few will join my home summer menu.
Cheers!
Love the thumbnail on this one (and the content!).
Seriously, this is my favourite thumbnail.
Thanks bud!
Yes! I LOVE the Old Cuban, thanks for sharing it!
I like the complexity level of all these cocktails. It's what I would make at home or for friends.

These drinks look perfect for summer!
The Starlight Room (formerly the Starlight Roof, back in the 60s) is currently simply called Starlight.
Ready to head into a holiday weekend of cocktail experimentation. Thanks for the awesome ideas
I’m very excited about these drinks, thank you!
These beauties are look so fabulous!! How exciting!! Thanks so much!! Happy Thursday!! 🙂
Wow- this is a keeper episode! Sometimes I wanna get fancy and all these meet my palate right where it lives! Well done sir.

do it
@The Educated Barfly did it! Apricot preserves were chunkier than raspberry, might try a whip shake next time to break them up some more!
Using jam in place of simple syrup is such a great way to switch up the flavour profile. Love the channel!

”look at that color”
”mhm”
Chef's kiss is darn right
Bonne Maman are the preserves originally used in the cosmonaut. Literally just got some as I work my way through Regarding Cocktails.

I tried it with the champagne tonight and that really did add a lot of additional flavour and effervescence. Fantastic drink, thanks for sharing.
Hmm, may try the Cosmonaut with some fig preserves
Great video! Inspired to make some of these! Thank you 🤗
Love the Dominican Rum! It’s overlooked always, but is great.
If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend adding an orange spiral to your cable car the next time you make it, since it really enhances the orange notes from the curaçao.
This is a great series
Those all sound delicious!!
Seems like the Cosmonaut ought to have white rum, based on the whole cloud near the center of the galaxy thing, but be that as it may
We've actually got our own version of the Bourbon Renewal at our restaurant created by one of our bartenders. Uses bourbon, mure, raspberry syrup, lemon juice and a bit of Fernet Branca.
Called a 'Bramble On', named after the Led Zeppelin song 'Ramble On' (being a "Bramble' riff & everything).
Sounds fantastic what’s the specs?
@@TheEducatedBarfly 40ml bourbon (Wild Turkey is our house)
15ml Creme de Mure
5ml Fernet Branca
15ml Raspberry Syrup
30ml lemon juice
Shake, crushed ice, Old Fashioned glass, garnish with mint sprig & 1 fresh raspberry on top.
1 oz. Ol’ Smokey’s Apple pie moonshine, 1 oz. Dissarono, 1 egg white.
Looks like I'm going to love the Dominica. I noticed you're using more rum brands from the big companies. Any chance you'll feature stuff like Hampden or Veritas or Hamilton rums?
I think you wanted crème de cassis for the Bourbon Renewal, but blackberry works, too.
Read the note in the description I subbed it on purpose
Nice to see st lucia spice rum
They all look really tasty!
Bourbon Renewal is typically Creme de Cassis, but Creme de Mure sounds good, and I love a Bramble.
Yeah I switched it
@@TheEducatedBarfly I like it. When I make a Bramble I like to try different gin and fruit liqueur combinations as well.
Great video as ever. Where can I find a bottle like the one you use for whipping the cream? I don’t even know what to search for online. All I can find are NO2 bottles when all I want is a neat little bottle like yours!

For the garnish on the Dominicana, you said chocolate, but it sounded dry as you grated it - was that a cocoa nib? What were you grating?
Nah it was chocolate
I think the recipe for old cuban is missing in the description
Nice video. Do you use 1:1 or rich simple syrup for your drinks? It would be very nice to have this Information in every video. Its getting hard to remember which youtuber uses which kind of syrup.
I use 1:1 unless I specify Rich
Your cinnamon sugar rim looks like you gave your cocktail a mustache.
You mentioned the Jeffrey Morgenthaler Amaretto sour - curious what he did with it? Is there maybe a link?
He added egg white and bourbon.

@@TheEducatedBarfly Funny. I would assume those as standard but I guess that’s probably because of JM
How does Mr. Black compare to Caffe Lolita?
I like them both, Lolita is a little sweeter, but just a tad
I would have thought a cocktail called "Cosmonaut" would be made with vodka. And maybe beets.🤔
What is he doing with that cream?? I don't understand that part.
I expanded the cream to thicken it so it would layer it on top of the cocktail
@The Educated Barfly But what did you put in the bottle to create the whipping action?
I hate that I pay for TH-cam premium but still can't seem to escape ads.

Bourbon Renewal not with Creme de Mour, but with Creme de Cassis!

Oh and it’s crème de Mûre
