Great list! As a gin cocktail lover -- and a voter -- I've been looking forward to this video. And I'm pleased to see that all of my choices made the top 20!
A little mistake in the Bees Knees description in the video, it says 22.5 ml of maraschino liquer instead of 30 ml of lemon juice. As always, thanks for your videos, a lot of time and effort are put in these and we appreciate it!
I just wanted to tell you that you are my all-time favourite bartender! It allways makes my day better when I see your smile while shaking that shaker. Thank you very much! I wish you all the best and hope your recovery went well!
I love this kind of video that is listing tons of quite simple but also popular cocktails. I can simply save it and come back to it later when I am feeling like drinking a gin cocktail. I love your application, but when looking at it, I never really know what "are worth" the cocktails before testing. Here, I feel like I am less likely to be disappointed. Pls, do a video like this for each spirit. 🤩
For the Aviation, I recommend trying it with all the ingredients shaken except the violet. Then after the shake, pour the violet into the shaker and gently stir. Color is significantly more purple and for some reason tastes better, purely in my head of course.
@StevetheBartender_ Comment section never fails to live up to the stereotype. Lol Far from a crime not too, but it's a helpful addition to the video. 🍻
Bees Knees and Saturns are how I do Gin. I always have a bottle of Barr Hill around just to make these two bangers. I love all your work. Thank you for sharing your craft with the world.
I have recently tried Negroni with coffee infused Campari (coffee beans) amazing experience, I would recommend to try Steve. Amazing series, thanks! And cheers to all Negroni lovers
I like gin cocktails, it was very nice to watch these process of preparing all this drinks, my favourite are Clover club (but strictly classic without garnish), Aviation(it's also nice with lavender sirop) and two not from this list , it's Royal Hawaiian ( very tasty tiki gin cocktail) and 'Gin and Sin'( simple and tasty especially with simple sirop instead of grenadine) maybe it will be interesting to someone.
Bramble - I use a popular but also underused hack ... muddle fresh blackberries .. they grow nearly all summer in brambles bushes in the South East of England... so its a mini freebie!
I used Ms Better Bitter's Miraculous Foamer... but have also used Wonderfoam: amzn.to/4dRl30J (there's a couple bad reviews for Wonderfoam, which makes me think there was a bad batch... as it's been perfect when I've used it)
As a voter, I was worried about voting for Last Word since it sometimes feel like a Chartreuse cocktail more than a gin cocktail, but it made number 4 so hell yeah!
I've been away from the channel for awhile. How was the ranking done; voted by Patreons or something? I have some reservations about the ordering in a "ranked" list, but I certainly can't argue about this being a great collection of gin cocktails.
@@StevetheBartender_ Huh, I would have expected more voters than that; you're a popular channel. Regardless, I'm back to watch that shake with a Hollywood smile. Love your presentation.
Well this was thoroughly enjoyable. So many I haven't made in such a long time (Saturn, Singapore Sling...) I will revisit those but I just had to make myself a Martini because I love gin so much (I used Uncle Val's Pepper gin, which can no longer be found) Next I will make a Last Word even though I've probably made it a hundred times, but not in a long while. If I make a 3rd tonight, it will be 🐝 🦵🏻
great video, much love to the channel. I do want to point out the bees knees side note said there is marashino liquor, not sure if anyone pointed that out
Missed the „Winchester“ one of the best Gin Cocktails ever. And to be honest, I hate the Soda-Version of the Singapore sing. With Pineapple juice its one of my Favorites. Basil Smash and Saturn should ranked way higher. The Saturn Convinced all my guests so far
@@StevetheBartender_ youre right, the Winchester is not very popular so far. Lets see how it develops… meanwhile im close to say Gin is on Par with Rums for Tiki-Style Cocktails
@@StevetheBartender_ Hi, Steve 😁 I use 1oz old tom gin, 1oz curacao (Pierre Ferrand if I'm feeling decadent but Cointreau is ok), 1oz lemon juice, 3/4oz Tempus Fugit Kina L'Aero d'Or (I find 1oz overpowers the drink), and a couple of dashes of La Fee Parisienne absinthe. 👍
I’m glad to see the Last Word is up there. But that should probably be #1, IMHO. The Negroni is number 1… man, I wasn’t expecting the results of this to make me question my place in the world, but living in a world that thinks the Negroni is the best gin cocktail makes me feel quite out of place here on Earth. I’m so not a fan.
fuck me, while was reading the list caught myself on thought that not only I know all this names, but also remember all of the recipes.. and even was thinking of more like pendenis club bijou, hanky panky and pegu club . Think I got pretty deep into the bar 🫣🫣

My wife gave me Steve's Cocktail book today as a birthday present 😊 Great book! Thanx Steve, for this great collection of cocktails.

Great idea! Anders did a good vid on shaking and stirring aviations. Although I love the violet liqueur so I up the volume. Comes out pretty bright!
Enzoni > Negroni, who’s with me??
Thank you for putting the specs in the description. I know it's more work, but it is much appreciated 👏🏻
No worries, I received abuse last time I didn’t.

I’ve tried it before - tasty stuff! 👌
Water Lilly > Aviation
Great list! Have made most of these and they are great!
Absolutely
Enzoni is just on another level. Made me enjoy Campari !
Congratulations on the cocktail book doing so well
Thank you! 🙏
@@StevetheBartender_ you're welcome 😊
All of them looks so awesome man! My absolute favorites is the negroni and the enzoni!!❤
Mine too!
I have tried them all and can agree with the list. Great video
Cheers Stephane!
I wonder if I will ever attempt the Ramos 😄
Oh boy, twenty sips started stacking on Steve there!
😅
Thanks man as a Bartender 😉 it will help me a lot. time to note down this recipies
You’re welcome! There’s a printable PDF file in the description 👌
Happy to see my favorite! The basil smash :D
YES!! When I saw the word, Gin, I immediately clicked😅😂💗
You should do a video on barrel aged gin. There's a local oaked gin I've tried, it's whiskey like but with gin botanicals.
Could be a fun topic.
I like this idea 👍
Great stuff Steve. Tom Collins has always been my favorite gin cocktail. I'll use Malfy w/Italian lemons gives it nice pop to it. Salud/Cheers!!
Hopefully I can get your Gin in Trinidad 🇹🇹 one day
FYI Steve. That Smith and Cross Rum is widely available here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for $49.00 Cnd. Thanks for the tip and love your show.
Highly enjoyable video! Mixed up the Army Navy tonight for the first time.
Thank you Steve!
Welcome Kurt - how was the Army & Navy??
@@StevetheBartender_ I enjoyed it! Simple gin sour with a nutty twist.
Just ordered your book on Amazon here in the US. Looking forward to reading it! Have you ever tried grapefruit bitters in a gin and vermouth Martini?
Thanks Dave! I haven’t but I will now :-)
What a compilation. Cheers for putting this together and sharing your recipes.
Are your gins distributed in the US?
Most welcome! Not in the US but would love to sign a distributor.. 👍
Thank you for the PDF! I have your book and it’s great.
Most welcome and glad to hear you like the book (please leave a review online, if you haven’t already) 🙏
What is the egg white replacement you’ve used for White Lady?
Ms Better's Bitters Miraculous Foamer.
Loved the vid Steve 👍. Where can one get the Libre & Co products down under? I can't find any...at least not at a reasonable price.
Thanks Dan! Liber isn’t currently available in Australia unfortunstely..
An absolute belter of a video mate!!
Thank you sir!! 😅
@@StevetheBartender_ surprised myself , no southside made that list!
I was surprised too… it only missed out of the top 20 by a handful of votes.
I replace simple syrup with elderflower liquor in my gimlet and tom collins.
Nice!
Same, but I take off 1/2 from the gin and replace that with the elderflower liquor, then add 1/2 3:1 honey syrup instead of simple - wife's favourite
That sounds delicious!
Fabulous! Can't wait to try them (all) :3
Let me know what your fav is once you do!
I like gin cocktails, it was very nice to watch these process of preparing all this drinks, my favourite are Clover club (but strictly classic without garnish), Aviation(it's also nice with lavender sirop) and two not from this list , it's Royal Hawaiian ( very tasty tiki gin cocktail) and 'Gin and Sin'( simple and tasty especially with simple sirop instead of grenadine) maybe it will be interesting to someone.
I shall need to pick up some Lillet Blanc as that Negroni sounds great!
Muito bom. Agora é praticar. Fazer todas as receitas e provar até última gota... kkkkkk
How did i miss this in my feed? I love gin cocktails
Algorithms replaced the subscribe button 😢
Bramble - I use a popular but also underused hack ... muddle fresh blackberries .. they grow nearly all summer in brambles bushes in the South East of England... so its a mini freebie!
You still need the sugar component from the liqueur. I made my own crème de mûre. So easy and so good. Brambles all summer long.
These are all great drinks …love the rifts on the classic drinks …. Just a little sad my Vesper did not make the cut but The Army Navy is a killer❤❤❤
I like cocktail very much.
Aye!
Great video. What is the egg substitute that was used? thanks
I used Ms Better Bitter's Miraculous Foamer... but have also used Wonderfoam: amzn.to/4dRl30J (there's a couple bad reviews for Wonderfoam, which makes me think there was a bad batch... as it's been perfect when I've used it)
As a voter, I was worried about voting for Last Word since it sometimes feel like a Chartreuse cocktail more than a gin cocktail, but it made number 4 so hell yeah!
Ever tried making it without the gin? I accidentally did. It wasn't right by a long way...then I realised. Give it a crack you'll know what I mean.
That's what I mean, I'm pretty sure I've made every Last Word varation and I love them all.
@@SuperStarr817 Ah I see. The Last Word is my fav too. I had to have a break as it was expensive buying chartreuse!
I’m glad to see my personal favorite gin drink the white lady in here would’ve liked it to be higher then #19 on the list but at least it on the list
I've been away from the channel for awhile. How was the ranking done; voted by Patreons or something? I have some reservations about the ordering in a "ranked" list, but I certainly can't argue about this being a great collection of gin cocktails.
It was voted by viewers (shared the poll on UA-cam, Instagram, newsletter, etc.). I had 500 responses.
@@StevetheBartender_ Huh, I would have expected more voters than that; you're a popular channel.
Regardless, I'm back to watch that shake with a Hollywood smile. Love your presentation.
Thanks Brad 🙏 a poll on the community wall usually gets 2k-3k votes… but I had to link off platform for a bigger poll so less people.
Well this was thoroughly enjoyable. So many I haven't made in such a long time (Saturn, Singapore Sling...) I will revisit those but I just had to make myself a Martini because I love gin so much (I used Uncle Val's Pepper gin, which can no longer be found) Next I will make a Last Word even though I've probably made it a hundred times, but not in a long while. If I make a 3rd tonight, it will be 🐝 🦵🏻
I dont care for any of the gins Ive tried, but a couple of these recipes looked good enough to maybe give it another chance.
Where is the glas from at the Basil Smash?
If you aren’t outraging someone with your martini recipe, you aren’t doing it right 😂
My fave is Aviation, and it made the cut!
Goodbye beer it’s cocktail season
Bee's Knees AHEAD of Last Word and Martini?!? Hmm... Agree to disagree, but definetely a good list!
Could you link the egg white replacement?
Wonderfoam (Australia): www.onlybitters.com/wonderfoam-50ml
Otherwise you can look for Ma Better Bitters Miraculous Foamer.
I am surprised about the Southside too... the mint in that drink compliments the sour style cocktail so well
It missed out only by a few votes to make it into the top 20.
I suspect it's because ppl don't always have mint on hand. But I guess they have Basil 😁
@@Kiki_Fugawi mint grows like crazy though!
@@StevetheBartender_ only from June to September, where I live :)
So he wasn't joking when he said more bigger compilations are coming 😂
great video, much love to the channel. I do want to point out the bees knees side note said there is marashino liquor, not sure if anyone pointed that out
Yep, this was meant to fixed but I didn’t double check it 😅
Missed the „Winchester“ one of the best Gin Cocktails ever. And to be honest, I hate the Soda-Version of the Singapore sing. With Pineapple juice its one of my Favorites. Basil Smash and Saturn should ranked way higher. The Saturn Convinced all my guests so far
The Winchester isn’t very well known (I think?) so I don’t think it would have scored many votes..
@@StevetheBartender_ youre right, the Winchester is not very popular so far. Lets see how it develops… meanwhile im close to say Gin is on Par with Rums for Tiki-Style Cocktails
How do you rate Smeatons gin?
I’ve never heard of it.
I wish I liked a Negroni, tastes like hedges 😂
I won't ask how you know that.
Hedges? Lol
Blasphemy! 😂
Smth odd with the No 3, says maraschino in it but it is lemon juice
It’s a typo
Try chocolate bitters in your Army and Navy.
That’s an interesting call… I will 👌
No way cr2 is not even in the top ten!
I agree!! 😅
My favourite! 😊
It’s not a “best” contest so much as name-recognition and familiarity…. Sadly.
I’m open to format suggestions to uncover the “best”…
@@StevetheBartender_ Hi, Steve 😁 I use 1oz old tom gin, 1oz curacao (Pierre Ferrand if I'm feeling decadent but Cointreau is ok), 1oz lemon juice, 3/4oz Tempus Fugit Kina L'Aero d'Or (I find 1oz overpowers the drink), and a couple of dashes of La Fee Parisienne absinthe. 👍
That's not a Tom Collins, that's a Tun Collins. (you have to be a wine otaku to get that pun)
A beautiful morning in Kansas. 4C, coffee and deciding which gin cocktail to make this afternoon. Great video Steve. Cheers.
1 minute in and im already a little upset with one of my top 3 to be 20. Only kidding, promise. I know the rest will be of the utmost quality
Haha, blame the people! 😂😂
Should be a crime for Water Lily to be excluded
I agree. It should kick out the Aviation 😂
I’m glad to see the Last Word is up there. But that should probably be #1, IMHO.

It’s an acquired taste.. keep trying it :) or try these: ua-cam.com/video/RpT1tftuhkg/v-deo.html
Sorry i not speak english podrias traducirlo el video
Hey Edwin, to which language?
In your recipe for the Basil Smash, you put the wrong measurement of simple syrup, you wrote it needs 22.5 Oz, which might be too sweet 😂
Lol, big drink too
I love seeing him get more and more drunk
What the hell happened to the daisy
It fell considerably short of getting enough votes to make the top 20..
@@StevetheBartender_ sad news that. Good vid though.
Where’s the gin and tonic?
It wasn’t listed as an option in the poll.
damn no gin and tonic
It wasn’t on the list of options for people to vote for it.
Comtreau is plenty sweet, adding simple on top is like you're trying to get a child to drink. Gross.
Assume you are referring to the White Lady? Firstly, it’s only 7.5ml of simple. What are your preferred specs?
Ehn.
