"Y'all probably can't see mee right now because of this sweet, sweet camo shirt I'm wearing. If you are interested in any of the awesome shirts I wear in these videos, head on over to Ericksawesomeshirts and get your own shirt on!" Sidecar coming right up! Gonna try to make it a habit of making one of these drinks each week. I really love how it enhances watching the episode sipping the same stuff you make!
Would you mind giving me your opinion on the spice grater you use in these videos? I need a new grater/zester because we always use our regular microplane for dinner and I'm wondering if I should get another regular zester or go for this more specified spice grater/rasp. What do you think?
We use this and it is a beast. Its perfect for dry spices, but not for zesting fruit. Only 10 bucks too. www.williams-sonoma.com/products/microplane-mini-rasp-grater/?sku=1138373&cm_ven=PLA&cm_ite=1138373_14932288920&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Local&gclid=Cj0KCQiAmeKQBhDvARIsAHJ7mF4tJr1280h7ri-bYJEVj9pk0epvlBpnyKHEFeaVwm3VXlCvM822Y2saAmrLEALw_wcB
I hadn't heard of the Champ Elysee before. Neat But Eric. Why ya gotta rag on American brandy? Sacred bonded from heaven hill is the shit. I'd put quality American brandy up against the overrated big 4 cognac producers any day. Speaking as a neutral Canadian of course
American brandy is great! But by and large the spirits being distilled on the American frontier back in the 1700s days would be a little rough around the edges by today's standards. That just isn't for brandy either but for whiskey as well. It is only compounded by the fact that you never really knew what you were getting when you were buying from rectifiers. Unless you made it yourself, you never really knew what you were really getting. But all that aside, I I love me some tasty brandy made here in the USA. In fact, you gave me an idea. I might just have to make an episode featuring stateside brandy soon ;-)
@@HungryHungryDude ahh I see what you mean. I hear 1700s cognac was already pretty good Yea thatd be a great video! American brandy and even world brandy I think is the most exciting spirits category. So much good wine out there that could be good booze
Great to see you highlighting Cognac! Just yesterday I was having the conversation that it was the most underrated spirit
It works so well in cocktails, it is a damn shame that it is not showcased more in modern cocktails. Let's change that!
Absolutely! I only drink cognac as neat spirit.

You just gave us a good idea. We should probably auction the shirts off for a charity eventually, right???!
Chartreuse is back baby! Great episode, I will trying out all three this week.
If you post them to instagram don't forget to tag us @bartenderatlarge
My all time favorite are the Stinger and the Horse's neck.
Macho Nacho sent me and I’m glad I listened, subscribed!
Thanks for giving us a chance! Tito is the man!
Few days ago I was looking up some cognac recipes and now this, so happy to see it. Gotta try em all
Cognac is so great in cocktails! Hopefully this is plenty to work with until our next episode!
Srsly love cognac cocktails! ❤❤❤
Great drinks! All 3.
Cognac cocktails need way more love than they get. #Fact
Another awesome video - would love to see you work with the sister/brother of cognac for a couple cocktails - Armagnac
Stay tuned cause you never know what could happen. We love us some Armagnac!
Always thought it was yellow Chartreuse since that's what we used a bar I worked at. Had no idea it was green!
It works with Yellow Chartreuse too! But since it is sweeter, we would probably kick up the Cognac to a full 2oz ;-)
Absolutely LOVE me some congac and some B@L
Thanks for the love!
Do you have a link where to purchase that long measuring spoon? Looks like a perfect tool for a bartender.

@@BartenderAtLarge thank you!
Just a simple question. Can one use Cognac as a substitute when mixing Bailey's Irish Cream? I'm not really a fan of whiskey.
are there any reposado CLASSICS? i seem to always kinda do riffs on whisky/blanco teq classics, but couldnt find anything.
Not yet, but this sounds like a killer idea for a future episode ;-)

Dude, if I make all the cocktails you're demonstrating recently, they'll find me on the floor of my house
Sounds like a good reason to invest in a nice rug 👍
@@HungryHungryDude Hah. The timing couldn't be better - my dog decided to add 'rug' to her diet the other day...

You can't compare the two products...
@@SaroShow You know what might be a great episode though. An episode on domestic Apple Brandy...hmmmm...
@@HungryHungryDude yes please do it! And difference between calvados and applejack
I can't drink :(
No worries. We have an episode on non-alcoholic cocktails in the pipeline, so we got you covered ;-)
