I love the idea of having a little black book. There's a certain theatricality to it. I can imagine regular customers enjoying a little inside joke whenever "the book" comes out.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. When I stared making cocktails at home a few years ago I started writing down recipes in a notebook rather than on my phone.
I love the idea of a little black book Leandro! Moleskin rocks! The cell just isn't the same. It's like the newspaper - I sub online to the NY Times but I also buy it daily!! Love that!! Nightcaps sound interesting! I don't have them as alcohol interferes with sleep if I have any too late. For me before 7pm it's often a dram of delicious Islay peated scotch! Cocktails can also be nice! Love these! Thanks so much!! 🙂
Love this video idea! Well done on the Idea, Marius! And well done on the execution, as always, Leandro! P.S. - I paused the video to read the names of the other cocktails you had in your black book, and then searched and found your videos about each of them on your channel. Your channel is truly a treasure! Thank you!
Great video and I'll be trying a few of these! Re the Shanghai Gin, I have been enjoying this one for a while and I had heard it was created in 2007/2008 by a bartender named Kent at SF's Slanted Door. Who knows? Makes you wonder about some of these origin stories...
I was just on your website recently. I really like what you guys have done to it! i like how I can search my cocktail choice by what ingredients I have, that is what I like to use my books for buy you guys did a great job with the site to make it much easier! Way to go!
I had 4 moleskin books 1. For classic and modern classic cocktails. I also used it for syrups and infusion notes 2. For Tiki cocktails 3. For wine and wine tasting notes 4. For beer and beer tasting notes
This was a ton of fun! Great idea, Marius! Leandro, can you do an explainer of the brandy meanings? Like what is VSOP and all the others? I can probably Google it, but you will make it more interesting!
my mole books are stuffed to the gills with recipe papers. When your bartended produces one that's falling apart and spilling over you know you're in for a treat.
7:45 Have you ever tried Izarra? It comes from the Basque regions of Spain and France, and is their Chartreuse equivalent. It comes in both green and yellow, and is interchangeable with Chartreuse. I am unsure if it is readily available in the US. Might be available in Mexico. Google is our friend.
on a tangent - i have the green Faccia Brutto at home (as a green chartreuse replacement) - i find it quite similar to the chartreuse in cocktails, except i add about 1/4 oz simple per cocktail since to me, it's not as sweet as the chartreuse... love the little black book btw!
when i saw the shanghai gin recipe, i was surprised!!! i make and love to drink a cocktail called the flying dutchman which is the same thing but it calls for genever instead of gin… it would be cool if you made a video on the history of gin and genever
My downstairs neighbor was a bartender. When he died, his brother-knowing I was a cocktail fan-gave me his index file of drink recipes. He used shorthand on a lot of the recipes (example: "CSG MMC 1/4 FWI"). Some of these are pretty obvious ("FWI" is obviously "fill(ed) with ice"). Some I'm less sure of (I think "CSG" is a type of glass). Others leave me baffled (I have no idea what MMC means). He worked in a gay bar here in San Francisco and he specialized in drinks that taste more like candy than a cocktail, which is not really my jam. It may be impressive to make a cocktail that tastes like a Tootsie Roll ( 1 oz. Kahlua, 1/2 oz. dark rum and add orange juice to ice filled glass, if your curious), but I'd rather drink something that tastes like booze. Still, I'm glad I have it. It's a nice remembrance of the man and a style of cocktail making that was popular a few years ago.
Tried Seven Sins, and liked it a lot. Less "thin" and more rich than a Jack Rose. My question is, have you tried it with two dashes of Angostura, which is how I've seen it built elsewhere on the web? I put my dash of cinnamon powder in the shaker for one of the ones I sampled, and felt it was a nice improvement, but next time I am going to try the Angostura instead. Interested in your experience and thoughts. Cheers!
Off topic here… but… Apparently in BC Canada ( Vancouver) Benedictine is not going to be available after stock is gone. My question is- can I sub B&B in a Vieux Carré? I would think so but can’t find any info on what the ratio of cognac to brandy is, in B&B. I would like to make it as close to original.
oh really? Do you know why? And this might not help, but Benedictine is sometimes used to sub for chartreuse, but not sure that will help the situation to go the other way
@@TheEducatedBarfly I did manage to find Benedictine after checking many liquor stores. ( should have bought what was left) I have heard that Chartreuse is a sub but not exactly. Oh, the First World problems!
If one were brainstorming a 4.1 ingredient drink with no fruit juice or simple, how does one know when to use an equal parts spec or a not equal parts spec in order to taste every spirit in the drink?
14:06 Didn't Ted Haigh write something to this effect about the Barnum Was Right cocktail? "'Hey! This is nothing but a Blah Blah Cocktail with a little blah blah blah in it!' Once you try the many combinations, you'll see that the devil is in the details."
Great Episode although I'm just here to tell that I bought your zitrus press and first I thought: u r so dumb, u got 2 mexican elbows but Jesus: this is the holy Grail!! Love it so much
we had an export issue with this video, at the end of the video we were supposed to show you sing-a-long texts to the lyrics but the final video was just a black screen so we decided to just end the video early. We have the full song available on our Patreon
That song though 😂
It goes incredibly fucking hard.
No credit and a gut feeling makes me think it's AI generated. I wanna throw up.

That song was giving cocktail-making montage. Need to see the blood sweat, tears, and high fives from Marius at the end.
1:11 completely agree! Got my own little black book

i'm so glad that you said that about the Benedictine! I always felt that it tasted like a more honey forward, sweeter version of Yellow Chartreuse.
The song 😂 and the blurry vision are nice touches. Cheers, guys!
Love this video idea!
Well done on the Idea, Marius!
And well done on the execution, as always, Leandro!

I started a little Black Book and save my favourite cocktails. Its a great idea😊
Lovin the little black book. We had a similar shot at work of equal parts Cynar and Green Chartreuse. We called it Puppy Chow
Absolutely digging the song.

Great episode
Salute LD! I haven't watched a lot of your content recently, but I love this. I use index cards, but this seems more compact, and inconspicuous.
I have a book just like this! It was really neat to hear what was in it!

I have a notebook and OneNote. I use them both every shift

Can't wait to get those new glasses!
No way! I started a little black book when I got into mixology and started following you (and Anders) a couple of years ago :)
The song at 2:13 is fantastic!

Have you tried Brocato chaperal, it’s a green chartreuse substitute that’s amazing

Great episode again guys! And congrats on your first song 😉
I have the exact same but blue, with many of your recipes within...
Great recipes thank you!
I knew the Just for Mary would be a banger! Not quite as banging as that song tho!!
Thanks as always

I not only watched the original shanghai gin episode I made and it ended up in my rotation.
Marius making a rare trip in front of the camera
It's like spotting a cryptid
@@ItsSkingles The rare Marius Alcoholis Cinematographus
No black book for me, but I have a cheat sheet of recipes taped to the inside of my overhead cabinet.
I have several of those exact little black books my oldest is also falling apart and has a piece of black duct tape holding it's spine together.
hell yeah, hat.
Came for the cocktails, stayed for the music

Shanghai Gin is a Monte Cassino gin instead of rye
Just bought the faccia on their website for 57, +19 shipping.
I would hope that the first page of your little black book is 'don't forget the ice'
I need the song info asap!!!
Added the song for download on our Patreon :)
What happened to the button-down shirt you wore every day for the past month? 😉
first? i guess I'll say I like these videos!
what’s the store with the faccio bruto line?
What’s the story? It’s good high quality American Amaro
@@TheEducatedBarfly no, you mentioned picking it up at a specific store, one that carries their whole line. what’s that store?
Flask & Field at Row DTLA
What's the place in DTLA?
Cole's French Dip?
@@TheEducatedBarfly Sorry, the place that had all of the Faccia!
Where is the black pepper syrup recipe?!?!?!
