Whether Anders realizes this or not, he produces one of the best channels on UA-cam. It’s all in his presentation. Respect.
I was thinking the same thing. The pace, presentation, humor, lighting, illustrations, gorgeous shots... this is one hella creative duo who genuinely seem to enjoy doing this. Wonder if it pays the bills by now :)
Right? I like that it’s accessible. There’s other channels where it feels super long winded and pretentious but this is like Bob Ross makes drinks vibe
Agreed, other cocktail channels on UA-cam are a bit awkward in comparison.
In philosophy, there's a thought experiment called the "Ship of Theseus," which asks how many alterations/repairs a ship at sea can undergo while being identical to the ship that initially set sail. In light of this, I suggest that we call the modified, modern Deshler the "Sip of Theseus."
Other than the actual cocktails themselves, the best part of this channel is the history portion. It really makes me appreciate the cocktail even more. History transforms a cocktail from just a tasty concoction to a story. It’s brilliant. I hope that you merge with The Rake or Mr. Porter. You’re just what they need.
I couldn't agree more with your comments about the "history" portion. LOVE it!
Ah, the ol' "If you carefully remove one grain out of a heap of sand at a time. When is there no longer a heap"? Love this.
This was a great video! I love the deep dive and comparison. Definitely wasn’t too much for me :) Keep up the great work, Anders!
@AndersErickson this is the only channel on UA-cam which provides a complete knowledge of cocktails and the presentation of him is the best part how he showcase his talent and spread the knowledge of drinks which he have and he is spreading his knowledge in best possible way
Great video! I love these more in-depth looks at the history, variations on a drink (or ingredient, or drinks you can build with a certain ingredient), and the comparisons from a bartender and a non-bartender. Keep up the great work; I keep coming back for more videos!
Not sure if Anders reads the comments....but his videos have made my alcohol consumption and spending go way up. I love making the drinks he shows.
Hey Anders, I just wanted to say you've been really inspirational for my home bar setup and some of your favorite cocktails have made it to the house favorite list! Great work!
Love it! Thanks for the history and experimenting! You two are a lot of fun.
Love the deep dive. It’s helps to understand the process of adapting and balancing a cocktail. You’re really helping me raise my amateur game!
I love these videos , classic spirits and the history is what keeps me coming back !
Learning the history behind so many drinks makes me want to try them even more. Great episode.
I really enjoy your in-depth videos like this one. Information is good and it feels a little like a hangout!
You guys are so sweet. This is a very informative quickfire passage through time, taste and trial. Very well produced and edited. So much fun. Love you two.
Too much you say? No, this is the opposite! This is exactly what I want and hope to see - comparisons, classic recipes, history... This is the kind of content I love from you and I hope you keep doing more of these! Cheers Anders and Az!
Simply fantastic video and content. Love the history and educational bits. Cheers!🍸
This was great when you recommended it back to us in August! So glad to see a video on it
Really liked this video! Interesting to see the evolution of cocktails, even with classics. Nice work!
I love this! And both of you! More of anything you do! Cheers!
Great video and concept Anders - would love to see more of the same! Keep up the amazing work!
Such fun! Cheers to you! I can't wait to try this a friend and I are planning a Deshler tasting evening.
Amazing video as always! Definitely like the approach you took here and the effort is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to the next!
Awesome episode! I love the deep dive episodes because I learn so much about the spirits themselves and of course the cocktails!
This was awesome man! Keep doing these informational videos! Skål from Sweden!
Hi Anders. Thanks for the upload. You always inspire me to try new things at my bar. Thanks always
Thanks, Tanner! Love to hear you're trying new things behind your bar. Happy mixing!
I really like when go into depth. I always learn a lot, and gain appreciation for the drink.
This was really interesting... I always enjoy when you do the comparisons so this really took the idea and kicked it up a notch
Yall are just so much fun to watch! 😀
This was a lot of fun. Nicely done!
Love the History of the drink. Thanks for being tru to your craft and sharing all the fundamentals when assembling these drinks.
Thank you sooo much for making a video with Dubonnet! So many people have no idea what it is. I've been mixing with it for years and it's so underrated. Thanks to you it will be out of stock at my suppliers now hehe.
I really like the format. It's fun to experiment with drink variations to arrive at the one we like best. Your take on the flavors helps us to know if a particular bottle or ingredient is going to be up our alley, so to speak.
I like the deep dive! I’m all about the story behind the drinks, so the more the merrier.
But more so, I like watching you two interact with each other - you make a great duo!
Can’t wait until next week, keep it up!
Great video, Anders! I've never heard of a Deshler, but can't wait to try one.
Really interesting and fun video comparing the three versions. I think you should do more these types of videos! Keep up the great content 😎👍🏼
Honestly this is the type of exploration that I love about your videos and as a bartender I really appreciate this channel for teaching me about this drink and more. Thank you Anders for the inspiration and passion
Impossible not to smile watching you both at the end!
This kind of variation and evolution comparison is brilliant. Your concern was clear but I for one really enjoyed it and hope to see more like this in the future. Great job!
Loved this!! The more deep divey the better!
I love these deep dives and bits of history.
Great video! I'm definitely interested in more in depth comparisons and breakdowns on a single subject like this
Great video, love the history and the variations we can try.
Absolutely love you guys! Without fail you brighten up me Friday evening. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Of course, should’ve said my Friday evening otherwise I sound a bit like a pirate! You too dude.
Not too much at all! I really enjoy hearing the history and the "why" behind cocktail recipes. That and you explain it very well!
I recently learned about the Ship of Thesues paradox and then this video drops and makes that philosophical question real! Fun!
Loved this format!
Really enjoyed this Deschler video! Especially liked Az's (sp?) appearance and commentary! Please have more videos with both of you in front of the camera. Cheers!
great content, I love how you delve into the history of a cocktail and compare\contrast against modern interpretations, super interesting and fun to watch!
Love the channel. Enjoy seeing Az.
I loved this evolution of the drink.
I just started mixing after watching you two. For the last year...ish.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow, these look great, especially the 2 mods. And congrats on passing 200k subscribers!
By far the best thing that came out of the Quarantine for me. Great videos. Would love a live podcast and get to make cocktails with you guys!!
No this is awesome. It’s really fun to see the evolution of mixed drinks over the decades!
Love all the fun facts and bits.
Real positivity. Creative editing. Clean graphic design. Andrea, your videos are brilliant.
Loved this Anders! I love learning how to make a cocktail but getting the history behind it amplifies the experience to the next level. Solid work, my man. Also, Az is a rockstar!
Loved it! I like that you gabe us the original, but also showed the ways you can be creative and alter while still being true to the essence of the original drink!
Loved this video - please do more like this!
I love these videos where you go further into the history of the drink, keep going. Can I also just say that the animations and illustrations you guys use when you tell the story are always SO GOOD, I love them. Does Az do them all??
Thanks, Scott! Yeah, the artwork's all Az! I love it - happy you do too!
She’s so talented, you guys make a perfect partnership, no wonder this channel has grown like it has! Looking forward to the next one.
I love this not only for the great drink recipes and history but mainly for Az’s exit take away! That is so me 😄 Too cute. Love what you both do!! Thank you ♥️
Hey Anders,
Just recently found the channel and have been loving your videos. This one was particularly fun. You've really inspired me to expand my bar and my cocktail repertoire. Cheers...
Loved this episode. Keep it up, but also old format, too, with recipes.
Really enjoyed the partnership taste testing the drinks. Fun to watch you 2 play off each other. Hope you’ll do something similar again
Looks like you crossed over the 200k subscribers, congratulations 🥳🥃
COMPETELY FASCINATING. Love the tough questions, more like this please!!!!!!
Not 'too much' brother. Love the back and forth and analyzing of different variations. Ignites larger discussions about interpretation, without ignoring the tradition! Cannot wait to try all three and pic a favorite
This in-depth content is great. There is so many cocktail channels now that just making a drink (unless it is unknown/unique) doesn't add anything new to the conversation. More of this!
Love the videos like these!
Congratulations on 200k subscribers! You deserve even more.
Love this! 10/10 love this channel
VERY COOL comparing the various versions like this. It really allows and encourages us to experiment!!!! Thanks once again!!
Great cocktail. did the nr 2. looking forward to do the other two. Allways trying to get my hands on something with a a classic touch.
Fab regards from Sweden
Fantastic video. I’ve been building my booze collection and learning new cocktails along with your videos. I must say out of all the similar youtubers in this category, you have the most charisma and entertaining/educational videos. Keep up the good work, you have a great format!
Always full of information Anders, lol well done, best wishes to you and the Mrs from Steve, Wales, UK 🇬🇧
Never heard of this drink….that is why I like the channel. You are the professor of cocktails. I enjoy the history you present as well.
Finally another classic drink! Classics are my favourites! ❤ I have to try making this one, never had one before!Nice video, Anders and Az! Cheers to the start of a great weekend!
+1 I'm trying to master the classics. And I don't care that the Paper Plane isn't a classic, it counts!
I really liked that video. All of your content feels like a personal conversation at a bar, which is not surprising. It seems like there are fewer and fewer actual bartenders today with even a fraction of this knowledge.
Love the exploration of the idea of slight modifications changing things, as well as both of your opinions on what you prefer taste-wise. Appreciate the video, and keep up the good work!
Your Bartending Nerdery brings me great joy!
As a newbie into the 'whole cocktail thing', as opposed to just getting hammered, appreciate your dive into the history behind the drink .
Plus, Az is always fun. :-)
That was so....dippin a toe into the water. 👍👍
The whole cocktail thing is just one part of a life spent searching for new experiences and then taking the time to make them your own.
Very glad you have matured past the hammered phase. Many (many!) never do.
Can't wait to try this one!!! THANK YOU for such great content & of course the TT&R! I'd love to see you make the Hunter bourbon cocktail sometime.
One of my favorite videos you've ever done by far! And we need to see more of Oz! I have recently done the same thing at home with the Tuxedo Number 2. There are a couple of recipes floating around the internet, but the ones I used were from difford's where they have one from Floras bar, and one from Savoy. That would be a good one to try 😉
this was NOT too much....I love these videos.....you and Az are a great team!!!!
Good stuff Anders. Thank you.
Very good. Can't wait to try
Like your style Zander’s and Az! I aspire to be a person that can whip up a cocktail and I love the history you share…keep going!
This was one of my favorite Anders videos ever! The extra deep dive into history and variations was really interesting and the taste test with you and Az was fun! I wish there was an option to extra like and double subscribe!
Awesome video, 3 variations on a less known cocktail. One to try!🔥
I always learn so much about history when I watch your videos. You're a great didact!
Thanks for the history lesson complete with the side by side comparison! Definitely not too much. Happy 200k!
Big fan of your videos, Anders! Your recipes are pretty much always tastier than the original. I hope you're writing, or thinking about writing, a cocktails recipe book because I'd buy it! Love your work! Looking forward to seeing more :)
And yet another for me to try! I can't wait...just need to get my hands on that Dubonnet Rouge now! Thank you as always! Az's outro is the best! I love the personality you both put into the videos! Makes you feel more like my friends.
I'm currently drinking - and really enjoying - The Deshler 2, my first experience of this drink. It is delicious, so many thanks for making the video and showing different ways it can be made
I'm 1min in and you already got the like button! Can't wait to see the rest! :)
Love the comparison video!
Great comparisons! Cheers!
Awesome vid, wish i could try all of them!
Stick with me here! Bit of a deep dive on creative boundaries in the classic cocktail world. Cheers! 🥃
You don't need all these bottles to make one Deshler, but you can get them all at Curiada! 👉 bit.ly/Andersbackbarspirits
Sounds delicious. Stopping at Binny's today to pick up the Dubonnet - def trying this tonight. Might get some Lillet Rouge
and Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao too ... looks super interesting. I dig swapping thing out, we've been doing that with the Ward 8 this week (Office Recipe Book version) trying with regular lemon and meyer lemon (which really works great).
Can you post recipes in comments? Also, thanks for including Az
I love your videos #doeasy
Great instructional and fun video. Will definitely give this a try. And wait, Vermouth needs to be refrigerated after opening and only last 2 months. Yikes!!!
Great channel! My wife and love your videos. I swear you’re the voice on the latest Verizon 5G commercials 🤔
