One last thing before i go back to my cave - get better ice. see all that white hue in your ice cubes? That's all trapped air, so only maybe, 40/50% of your cube is actual ice, solid cubes chill at a faster rate, dilute at a slower rate and give you more control over how diluted you want your drinks. they also help your drinks last longer after you've served them up to some guests. Easy home brew method for solid, crystal clear ice - get a plastic container (the size will depend on the size of your freezer space); insulate the sides & bottom of the container, leaving the top exposed. fill it up with water and stick it in the freezer; because the cold temperature is only coming from one direction, it'll push the trapped air in the water to the bottom of the container so once it's all froze, you can tip out the frozen ice block and carve off all the tapped/cracked ice from the bottom of the cube. the rest will be as clear as glass
All throughout my life I’ve always loved pickles. So much that I even drank the brine because it helped prevent cramps, and then because I just liked the taste believe it or not. As a semifarmer I was raised on pickles. Never had a martini but I very much look forward to the dirty martini!! Thanks John
Drinking pickle juice after a night of drinking Vastly helps you not get a hungover, or lessens the effects. Drinking in the morning after a night only helps you a little ;)
I love watching you two. Honestly the best father son duo on UA-cam also, what's the purpose of tapping the bottles with a the ring? It is so elegant. Is it a signature move ?
You guys make me want to expand my drinking horizon I drink the same shit every night at least if you switch it up you’re more of a hobbyist rather than an alcoholic (haha)
Never use water when chilling the glass, ice only. a Martini is always Gin. One olive, two at most! Shaking causes friction, which causes heat, which melts ice, defeating the purpose of drinking it "up". Nice, fun video! thanks.
This is so great! I just started bartending last week and have some knowledge but little experience and these videos help so much!!! If you guys could do more like this and break down other cocktails it would be awesome.
Steve the Bartender is very good too. If you like an Australian accent, he's your guy. Very personable. People can be very particular about their cocktails. As a bartender, you have several options for how you make a drink-- the official (historical/traditional) way, the way the bar wants you to make it, the way you like it, the way a You Tuber makes it, and the way the customer wants it. I would master the basics and take it from there. Good luck! Regards from Indiana!
I don’t even drink anymore nothing good came from it for me personally cause I’d over do it every time but you guys are fun to watch and have a good vibe makes it easy to watch even being a person who doesn’t drink anymore
I stumbled across your channel lately and tbh I’m from India and we don’t drink as sophisticated as you all do in USA but nonetheless, the relationship between you and your father more than makes up for it. If I ever get to visit USA, at least I’ll know what to drink. Thanks a lot. Love from India
Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel.
This video is a great intro to Martinis. I've recently started enjoying and making them. Dirty, gin, shaken - best! I'm a big fan of Ryan Reynold's Aviation Gin, it's my go to gin for my home cocktail nights. In South Africa we are limited with vermouth selection unfortunately which reduces some of the variations we can play with.
I've recently been getting into martinis and found that my favorite way of making it is a classic martini slightly dirty, just a splash of olive brine. It's such a fun drink to experiment with. Don't forget the three olives!
Only one correction. The Gibson is named after General Gibson because he would not fight an opposing force unless he outnumbered them three to one. He also preferred pickled onions over olives in his Martini. Traditionally, a Gibson is stronger than a classic Martini because the contents consist of 3 parts gin and 1 parts dry vermouth. It's then garnished with an onion instead of an olive.
Vodka should never be in a martini. I love a very dry martini made with a good quality juniper forward London dry gin, stirred, bracingly cold, and a lemon spritz and twist for a garnish. Spectacular!
I'm glad I watched this as I can tell most of family they dont know what a Gibson is. Turns out, that's what we generally drink as a 'martini', we like the onions in ours.
A lot of people scoff at vodka martinis, but I enjoy them from time to time. I think that, if you're gonna do a shaken martini, it's better to go with vodka, which is flavourless to begin with, so you're not losing those nice botanical flavours you'd get with gin. You're also never going to get a drink as cold with stirring as you are with shaking, so if you want to have your martini as cold as possible, shaken is the way to go.
OW GOD 😂 chilling the glass here was spot on, you can tell the glass was as chilled as possible because of the frosting on the glass, this means the glass surface has reached equilibrium and wont get any colder. if you're making a stirred drink, you should stir until the mixing glass is frosted over too, that way you'll know it's as cold as it can get, so it's time to pour before diluting the flavours too much. fill the mixing glass 3/4 full of ice (remember, ice keeps ice cold) so you chill the liquid as much as possible without over diluting the drink (normal dilution amount for a stirred drink is usually 60-70ml). Lads, check out a book called liquid intelligence, its fascinating stuff.
I like mine extra dry, dirty martini, shaken not stirred but onion not olive. Or both olive and an onion. A lot of times I will use a good vodka instead of gin. But I like gin too.
Definitely need to be specific in ordering a martini. Here in the Dallas area a martini defaults to vodka shaken. So I was kinda surprised to see you defaulting with Gin.
Thank you guys I've learned a lot about martini's. I'm glad that vodka is the best alternative to gin. It'd like one with black olives over green olives. Lol. And Tito's vodka is the best. It doesn't taste like rubbing alcohol lmfao klahklahklahklahklahklah wow! I got the one with the little sweater 😊
I don't drink alcohol for personal reasons but I really enjoy your father son dynamic and I like watching the different mixes and stuff. Really cool stuff guys, keep it up!
I worked with a Captain of a tugboat who’s last name was Gibson and he claims his uncle was the one who came up with that drink. He was a famous illustrator in NY City and loved Martini’s but hated olives. Seemed like he was telling the truth.
What's your favorite kind or martini?!
Never had one but I think I’ll head downtown tonight to try my first 🍸
@@chunkydurango7841 good luck!
Vodka, belvie Extra dirty
Bombay Sapphire, 4:1, with a twist. If going the vodka route, Tito's - dry with a pepperoncini.
3:1 Botanist and Carpano Dry Vermouth
I deeply appreciate your music selections. Always on point!
thanks!
Whats the song?

Just another masterful editing job from you guys. Keep the content coming!
Much appreciated!
As a Martini aficionado its cool to watch a deep dive explanation but at the same time casual step by step.. greetings from MX 🇲🇽

Thank you! Yes, the signature move.

This channel is oddly relaxing
Lmao love to hear that

My wife is like "Why do you keep tapping your ring on booze bottles?"...I'm like Johnny Drinks!
lmao no more questions wifey!
Dropping gems all day! God bless and much love from Chicago!!
cheers!
Amazing video, weirdly enough you two just answered many questions I was asking myself recently. Thank you
Happy to help!
Love you guys man. Reminds me of me and my pops. Also from Jersey so, that's all love.
Love it bro!
Gin and Tonic, but with a twist. Add 2-4 juniper berries, a little squeezed orange and some zest, with a little lemon zest as well.
Done like two gentlemen. Classy show fellas.
cheers man!

Will do!
I suggest, you check out How To Drink! They already did all the coctails, and they go much more into details
You should also check out Mr. Tolmach here on UA-cam. I learned a lot from his videos when I started bartending

I like Gin. Between wetter or drier, I am undecided. I like the lemon twist, too.
Would love more of these for different drink types!
you got it!

An olive marinated in vermouth is sublime! Wonder which martini would leave me with that same experience?❤

love the t-shirt. Where'd you get it?
My favourite cocktail the martini! And it has to be 2 parts of gin and one part of vermouth

Nice on the Gibson. I bartended for 10 years. Made 2 Gibsons lol

A Gibson with lemon bitters is one of the great drinks of all time
How to be an addict with class 😉👌

If I'm at a bar and don't know to order, I just go with Coors Lite
that works
Thank you guys I've learned a lot about martini's. I'm glad that vodka is the best alternative to gin. It'd like one with black olives over green olives. Lol. And Tito's vodka is the best.

Yall gotta do the deep eddy vodka flavors
Some people think that is regal ...I chuckled lol
I'll order a gibson with a twist

For the shaken Martini you could simply double strain
Recommend some bar ware!
Could you guys make a Blue Hawaii and break it down?
whats that
