@Cocktail Chemistry Hey Nick, I bought a bottle of _Chivas Regal Mizunara 12yr._ the other day. If you have drunk this type of scotch, I’d like to ask your recommended way of drinking it.
3 more months of quarantine and the recipes will be "you only need 2 ingredients. Vodka, and ice (optional). Pour it directly into your mouth and try to remember what trees look like"
I think what really appeals to me about this series is it presents the "how's and why's" of mixed drinks from a different perspective. Instead of focusing on a single drink, your approach presents a set of drinks based on a single spirit. This in turn can now be compared with your next video based on a different spirit. It's an entertaining but effective way to profile flavors, techniques, and the relationship of ingredients. Hands down my favorite series from any channel highlighting cocktails.
Not to mention it speaks to people who are just getting into cocktails since it's often the case that we have alcohol but not necessarily the know how of what to make with it.
That is, in fact, the best way to make an old fashioned. That combination of rye spice, maple and orange is my favorite cocktail. Period. Just find a rye and syrup you really like and it's heavenly.
So far I have made the Irish Coffee using your recipe both with espresso(americano) and with pour over decaf. Both were great. I am very impressed with Old Pepper. My favorite cocktail right now. Your ratios are perfect for this drink and sits very well in a coupe glass.
For the irish coffee, as well as your milk being too thick: Stir the coffee/water/sugar/whiskey prior to adding the cream with your barspoon. This prevents the cream from dropping as in the video leaving poor delineation between black and white, as well as making the bottom layer opaque, colloidal and murky. You should aim for a see-through, crisp, black bottom layer and perfectly demarcated white cream on top.
In the past, I made an old fashioned using (commercial) moonshine, orange bitters, and a sugar cube. I've seen variants using black walnut bitters and agave syrup.
I love the simple simple cocktail videos! So accessible. I think it would be great to see all the usual suspects: rum, tequila, vodka (i guess). Keep this easy train goin!
I've been experimenting with my old fashioned lately and one version I really enjoy is 1 oz Bourbon 1oz Applejack Barspoon of Maple Syrup And a couple dashes of chocolate bitters
Happy mistak. Brown derby. Ii made this with lemon juice and JP wisers 15 yeaaarr. Dry shake firs than cold. Still really balanced. The dry shake adds a nice foam and texture on the well balanced 3 ingredient cocktail. Great video
Great video as always. I'd say that vodka or rhum or tequila is the logical next step, I'd personally go with vodka but I think most people would prefer rhum.
gotta go with a Family Meal for a whisky cocktail: 1 part bourbon 1/4 part coldbrew coffee concentrate, or because of the covid-19 situation, I haven't gone to look for concentrate, 1 part coldbrew coffee Over ice, top with cola Used to be a whisky and cola kind of guy but this is really easy to do and it's a nice change.
Looks great and glad I can use some of the bourbon I have on hand. Would love to see you do a video with Maraschino liqueur. Right now I've got a bottle I've mostly just been using for Last Words but would be excited to see what you could come up with for it!
as far as a main spirit, i vote rum next! maybe you've already done it, but i think a study of vermouth (which ones have which flavor notes, and go best with which drinks) would be really neat too!
I am a gin girl but these "Whiskey Cocktails" make my mouth water! :-) What about wine? Is there anything in your cocktail arsenal for an episode of wine libations --- is there such a thing? ;-) Thanks for another wonderful episode!
Fantastic! More Please. I love this new series, The 5 EASIEST ______ Cocktails. I'm certain that no matter what spirit you choose to fill in the blank with that it'll be refreshing and go down easy with all
My take on the old pepper! I used Frank's Red Hot sauce simple syrup lemon juice whiskey Worcestershire (I added a "half" tsp of liquid smoke as well) Finally, I subbed BBQ seasoning instead of pepper! I'm not necessarily one for whiskey, but there's an interesting taste with that Frank's Red Hot that makes this interesting
The Irish coffee is probably the only cocktail that I don't measure. Sugar in the glass. Fill with coffee to the lower edge of the top 'handle attachment' and stir. Add whiskey to the top edge of the handle. Top with cream til it almost spills. Pouring the cream over the back of a spoon is a big help.
Irish Coffee is okay. Usually do a Kentucky Coffee (use bourbon) and add a bit of bourbon to the cream as you whip it. Gives it a nice consistency and more juice, of course.
I really haven't been to a bar that could or would server these exotic drinks. I'll have to look around or spend the cash for the ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
I've just seen a variant of an old fashioned straight from a Chivas Regal Ambassador Poland. She (yes, it's a girl, a bartender) used a technique called fat wash. To do this cocktail she used the following ingredients: 300 ml of Chivas 18 60 grams of coconut oil 1 and a half vanilla pod. She started with extracting seeds from half of the pod and gently heating it up with the remaining whole pod and coconut oil in a pan over a medium heat. Once the oil turned liquid she put it into a jar adding the whiskey. Then she closed the jar gave it a solid shake and set aside to a warm place for 24 hours shaking it up from time to time. After the 24 hours she put it in a freezer overnight to separate oil from the alcohol. Then she filtered the mixture through a fine sieft to separate liquid from fat and vanilla pod and seeds. That was her base for a cocktail and then she did almost exactly what you did here (she stirred it with ice and poured over fresh cubes to and old fashioned glass, zested an orange, expressed the oils and put it in the glass), except she skipped the bitters. Sounds interesting, though...
I love your videos, informative and really really well presented. Having just started my cocktail "career" and based on your series of 5 (Gin, Whisk(e)y) could you do a session on "The 5 cocktails you must be able to make" - irrespective of which alcohol is the base???
Low-ABV "build in the glass" cocktails is something I would like to see more of. Or atleast Low-ABV cocktails that I can prepare a picther of... I need something I can drink more of now i find, without getting hammared, just to pass the time :P
I would love to see a five cocktails for limoncello. I make that so I have it around fairly often. I usually make a sour or a fizzy lemonade by adding seltzer, flavored or plain, to a sour.
I’m definitely going to try the Old Pepper and I love the idea of Maple Syrup in an old fashioned. I’ve discovered my favorite bitters in a Whiskey Sour are Peychaud’s.
I was curious on the old pepper. So I made it and its really an odd cocktail. To me it hits all the right spots. I like spice, sour, sweet, savory ,and heat. I wouldn't describe a great cocktail but a very rememberable one that gave me a new look on my palete.
Oh man. This whiskey sour is gonna be a new favorite I think. Never would have thought to put an egg white in there but dang is this tasty! That recipe alone gets you a like and a subscribe.
Great video, thanks! Must try the brown derby as have some honey-ginger syrup from making Penicillin cocktails. Also think the ONLY way to improve upon the Old Fashioned is to smoke it. I'm similar in using maple syrup as the sweetener so if you can maple smoke it, phwoar!
Ive only ever owned 5 bottles of whiskey, and you used 2 of them in this video! And then the heavy whipping cream from my hometown! Clover dairy is the best!
The Laphroaig Project is an incredible wiskey-based cocktail. It's just a huge pain to make and wouldn't fit into the "easy" category. It's definitely worth the effort though.
Sadly I don't have any whisk(e)y in the house and I can't go to a liquor store for it right now, but entirely worth watching and perhaps replicating with a well-aged rum.
Would be very interested to see what you can do with calvados, I’m sure it’s just the same as any brandy but play with apple flavours would be interesting.
The sound wave enhanced flavor os an actual thing. The basically use an ultrasonic cleaner to speed up aging. Theres a video on it by thought emporium.

@Cocktail Chemistry
Hey Nick, I bought a bottle of _Chivas Regal Mizunara 12yr._ the other day. If you have drunk this type of scotch, I’d like to ask your recommended way of drinking it.
Do a version 5 easiest cognac cocktails
Thank you for this great public service during these difficult times.
Hhahhahaa
3 more months of quarantine and the recipes will be "you only need 2 ingredients. Vodka, and ice (optional). Pour it directly into your mouth and try to remember what trees look like"
Thank God it didn't (quite) come to that lol
almost feels like that, three months later
thanks doing that now
4 months ago I started drinking this quarantini. I no longer remember what a tree looks like, even though my family insists I live in a forest.
I hate that I will look back on this comment one day and remember it fondly as "the time we still thought the quarantine might go on for months"
I think what really appeals to me about this series is it presents the "how's and why's" of mixed drinks from a different perspective.

Agree completely!
Not to mention it speaks to people who are just getting into cocktails since it's often the case that we have alcohol but not necessarily the know how of what to make with it.
That is, in fact, the best way to make an old fashioned. That combination of rye spice, maple and orange is my favorite cocktail. Period. Just find a rye and syrup you really like and it's heavenly.
Man I gotta start getting more fancy. So many cocktails out there and so easy to make.

Like the perfect pint of Stout Noel lol
In the past, I made an old fashioned using (commercial) moonshine, orange bitters, and a sugar cube. I've seen variants using black walnut bitters and agave syrup.
Damn, using Red Breast for Irish coffee is baller. I just use Paddy's.
ivscigu, agreed. Red breast is too good to mix. Jameson's would be my choice.
@@makelikeatree1696 my understanding is Jameson is the original recipe. It is the only one I have ever used because my Irish whiskey knowledge sucks.
“BALCKENED IN THE AIR!!!!”
Blackened is a whisky created for Metallica.
guess you misspelled there buddy
Also by Metallica 🤘 hopefully I can try that one day!
It is Metallica’s whiskey
It's "Blackened is the end"
Love the Blackened whiskey, some of the best sounds i've ever tasted!
Egg white whiskey sour is undoubtedly my favorite drink of all time.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to make an egg white whiskey sour but I was too afraid but I’m so glad it tried!
Your Ol' Fashioned with the rye and maple is exactly how I do mine up, but I've never tried it with the lemon. Have to give that a shot next time!
I love the simple simple cocktail videos! So accessible. I think it would be great to see all the usual suspects: rum, tequila, vodka (i guess). Keep this easy train goin!
I've been experimenting with my old fashioned lately and one version I really enjoy is
1 oz Bourbon
1oz Applejack
Barspoon of Maple Syrup
And a couple dashes of chocolate bitters
Sounds awesome
Love the background music. I listen to Take Five often to relax.
Boulevardier is my favorite whiskey/bourbon cocktail of all time. I never thought my love for old fashioneds could be eclipsed but here we are.
I'm loving the "Just Take Five" in the BG
I went pretty liberal with the hotsauce in my old pepper and had a good laugh at how hot it turned out, but it was a delicious and well balanced drink
Definitely a vote for rum next!
I'd love to see an Islay scotch cocktail recipe, I love that smokey flavor!
Check out the penicillin! Also, the whiskey sour with islay scotch is excellent
I’m a fan of:
2 oz Islay scotch
.75 oz lemon juice
.75 oz honey syrup
Better with smoke forward than peat forward but still good.
Happy mistak. Brown derby. Ii made this with lemon juice and JP wisers 15 yeaaarr. Dry shake firs than cold. Still really balanced. The dry shake adds a nice foam and texture on the well balanced 3 ingredient cocktail. Great video
I just saw that you have around 500 likes and no dislike!! This definitely shows that your videos are the best!
Yes! I thought I was being a bit odd putting maple syrup in my old fashioned - it works so well.
While rum is definitely a strong contender, I still feel like Tequila would be nice.
Rum > tequila
scurvy juice
So glad you uploaded this in a Friday, I have been waiting for a excuse ( other than it's a day that ends in Y) to make cocktails
Great video as always. I'd say that vodka or rhum or tequila is the logical next step, I'd personally go with vodka but I think most people would prefer rhum.
I use brown sugar syrup (2:1) and add two dashes of orange bitters for old fashioned.
gotta go with a Family Meal for a whisky cocktail:
1 part bourbon
1/4 part coldbrew coffee concentrate, or because of the covid-19 situation, I haven't gone to look for concentrate, 1 part coldbrew coffee
Over ice, top with cola
Used to be a whisky and cola kind of guy but this is really easy to do and it's a nice change.
I absolutely love most of your content and its presentation. I use the channel all the time to mix artisan cocktails at home 🙂
Love this! Any chance of doing rum next?
The Old Pepper seems very similar to the Prairie Oyster - minus the raw egg yolk and panicked ‘down the hatch as quick as you can’ gulp.
I am so glad I found this again... you are one hell of a person... a great video
I tried the dry shake for the egg white in the Whiskey Sour and it worked so well!!
Love this series! Rum or tequila next?
You should do 5 cognac cocktails. Would love to see that. Cheers!
Just tried the Old Pepper. That combination of sweet sour and hot is sooo good. Thank you so much
Looks great and glad I can use some of the bourbon I have on hand.
Would love to see you do a video with Maraschino liqueur. Right now I've got a bottle I've mostly just been using for Last Words but would be excited to see what you could come up with for it!
as far as a main spirit, i vote rum next! maybe you've already done it, but i think a study of vermouth (which ones have which flavor notes, and go best with which drinks) would be really neat too!
Could we get more savory cocktails recipes? Loved the Old Pepper. Thanks for your videos.
wow I just tried the whiskey sour and it was stunning, thank you for this beacon of hope in these trying times
I am a gin girl but these "Whiskey Cocktails" make my mouth water! :-) What about wine? Is there anything in your cocktail arsenal for an episode of wine libations --- is there such a thing? ;-) Thanks for another wonderful episode!
"Let's get frisky with some whisky"
New favorite catchphrase
My favorite whiskey cocktail is 2 ounces in a lowball glass and fill to the top with air.
Very simple to make but exotic cocktails, that’s what I liked most.
Fantastic! More Please. I love this new series, The 5 EASIEST ______ Cocktails. I'm certain that no matter what spirit you choose to fill in the blank with that it'll be refreshing and go down easy with all
These look amazing! Best of all you make them look very simple to do. I’ll definitely give a few of them a try!
2:44 "whiskey business"... wonderfully awful pun. Well played.
someone call Josh Weissman, we got a case of catchphrase infringement
Yea, it was pretty... neat
Noice! I'd prefer a Rusty Nail or a Boulevardier - but if I didn't have those ingredients...
My take on the old pepper!
I used Frank's Red Hot sauce
simple syrup
lemon juice
whiskey
Worcestershire (I added a "half" tsp of liquid smoke as well)
Finally, I subbed BBQ seasoning instead of pepper!
I'm not necessarily one for whiskey, but there's an interesting taste with that Frank's Red Hot that makes this interesting

This is definitely the video that has gotten me into making cocktails
My sister just gave whiskey and a cocktail set for my birthday, now i gota make use of it

I would love to see all the spirits, these are great. Helps me stay refreshed in my bartending game. Something obscure would be nice as well.
I'm going to have to try that Irish coffee. Sounds delicious!
I definitely need to make all of these but especially the whiskey sour! I appreciate these simple recipes!
I’m definitely going to try the Old Pepper and I love the idea of Maple Syrup in an old fashioned. I’ve discovered my favorite bitters in a Whiskey Sour are Peychaud’s.

Oh man. This whiskey sour is gonna be a new favorite I think. Never would have thought to put an egg white in there but dang is this tasty! That recipe alone gets you a like and a subscribe.
For that whiskey sour definitely try using barrel aged bourbon maple syrup instead of simple syrup, it is amazing!
also i prefer my sours with irish or canadian whiskey, as the smokey peat of bourbon/scotch whiskey doesn't go very well with the sour in my opinion.
Thanks for another great video! Would love to see some Sake cocktail recipes, if you have any.
I think I am getting drunk tonight! Perfect timing 👌
Great video, thanks! Must try the brown derby as have some honey-ginger syrup from making Penicillin cocktails.
Also think the ONLY way to improve upon the Old Fashioned is to smoke it. I'm similar in using maple syrup as the sweetener so if you can maple smoke it, phwoar!
The puns... omg the puns... I love it.
Can you do tequila next? Besides the margarita
Literally just picked up a bottle of Kentucky Rye. Thank you.
I love it! I'd love to see some vodka cocktails as it seems to be the most boring booze i own and honestly i need some inspiration to use it!
I was not expecting to see Metallica’s whisky in this video, but that’s a very pleasant surprise! I really want to give it a try
Oh man! I didn't hesitate to subscribe. Great work!
Do some Brandy/Cognac videos next!
Ah, yessss, give me more recipes Nick, I need Variety!
Great video, always entertaining and informative! For a suggestion, how about vodka cocktails next?
I love an old fashioned. I'll have to try your recipe.
I have your Vodka Soda t-shirt and would buy the hell out of a “Frisky with Whisky” tee!!! 🤣🤜🏻🤛🏻
Ive only ever owned 5 bottles of whiskey, and you used 2 of them in this video! And then the heavy whipping cream from my hometown! Clover dairy is the best!
The Laphroaig Project is an incredible wiskey-based cocktail. It's just a huge pain to make and wouldn't fit into the "easy" category. It's definitely worth the effort though.
What is in it?
@@melvinmerkelhopper5752 Laphraoig quarter cask, yellow and green chartreuse, luxardo, lemon juice, peach bitters, lemon twist.
Great video! Gotta make each of these!
Great series! Thanks for posting this video!
Got a cocktail mixer set yesterday, looking to work my way through these lists!
Interesting choices for cocktails! cheers!
You're my "go to" on UA-cam. Keep up the good work! 👍
Sadly I don't have any whisk(e)y in the house and I can't go to a liquor store for it right now, but entirely worth watching and perhaps replicating with a well-aged rum.
Rum sounds good for the first four drinks but dont you dare use rum in an old fashioned 😂
@@hmack584 You never heard of a rum old fashioned? I don't know what to tell you.
Fantastic! Surely it has to be rum next!
Would be very interested to see what you can do with calvados, I’m sure it’s just the same as any brandy but play with apple flavours would be interesting.
I liked the fact that you showed 5 cocktails and used Brubeck's "Take five" in the background.
The sound wave enhanced flavor os an actual thing. The basically use an ultrasonic cleaner to speed up aging. Theres a video on it by thought emporium.
The old pepper was delicious, even though I did it kinda my own way. Great video!
This guy should have more likes and subscribers
For a fun twist on the old fashion, toast the lemon twist with a lighter before adding it to the drink.
I tried out the irish coffee but with a coffee-infused bourbon I made with Rebel Yell. Damn fine stuff.
