Anders, I’ve been waiting for the bear bar mat to be in stock for a while. Do you have any idea when they will be available for ordering again ? Thank you.
Did I miss something? Is there a golden ratio of citruses to liquors in non-daisy cocktails? I see 0.75x4, I see 1.5+0.75+0.5, I see 2+1+0.5. Have I been missing out on the secret formula?
Dear Anders, your joke about the glasses was awesome. I got to the point when it’s necessary to change two pairs back and forth. I like such people with sense of irony and self-irony. Your storytelling skill has reached another level again. Don’t stop. You’re the greatest!
I liked the history of this, I was always under the impression that a daisy was a sour style sweetened with only a liquor. I will make both of these this evening!
I started added a bit of sparkling water to my margaritas a few months ago. I make them pretty strong and it helps make them a little more drinkable, also very refreshing! Pretty cool to see that it might've been the way they were originally made! I guess I'm not the pioneer I thought I was :)
I could watch your videos for hours, what am I saying, I have watched you for hours haha! Your videos are entertaining, educating and just a joy to watch! Keep up the great work!
Don't you just love it when you watch an Anders video and have (almost) everything to make the drink in question. Just made a Cognac daisy using Remy Martin VSOP, Doorlys 5yr (Barbados instead of Jamaica), Cointreau, Simple Syrup & Lemon Juice. I did hear you state that an absence of sparkling water is a departure from being able to call it a 'Daisy', but I didn't have any in, and to be honest, what I'm currently drinking is delicious without it. This one is getting written down. Very good indeed.
I noticed that a Brandy Daisy has most of the same ingredients as an Embassy Cocktail. Both have become favorites of mine since I learned about them here.
After a couple years building my bar, I appreciate the “boop” as a measurement. A boop is sometimes a 1/2 oz, other times 2. Depends on the mood, the ingredient, and the person. Thank you for the sips tips and recipes! Keep em comin!
I love your determination to find historical accuracy in a field that has historically been word -of-mouth. My booze library keeps growing thanks to you and HTD. Push the little daisies...!!
I went ahead and made a boop-quet of daisies. They were really nice. Def sours. Slightly lightened and sweetened. Good drinks to have on the patio this summer
Love the channel, Az and Anders, best bartending guide on the internet! Longtime viewer, first time commenter.... Do you have any plans for a film on the whiskey daisy? There are so many different versions out there of both No. 1 and No. 2! This video was great to learn more about daisies in general but it's lead me down the rabbit hole of whiskey daisies as alternative to all the whiskey sour variations. The world needs you to tell us more about the whiskey daisy! 🙂
This was a great one! I also look for the similarities between cocktail styles to help craft new ones, but I also appreciate how the daisy bucks the trend as well. Thanks for another fantastic video.
This looks like my perfect cocktail style. My daughter thinks I like my cocktails too lemony, which, fair, and I like the little bit of fizzy water too. Lovely.
The “Daisy age or era” also defines a hip hop evolution that occurred with the birth of De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers, and A Tribe Called Quest. It is symbolized by a stark change musically from the hard hip hop of East and West coasts to a variety of smooth jazzy beats and flavorful lyrics. Somehow, I find this video apropos 👍🏾
These have become my go to for everything cocktails and comic relief amidst the heat of summer- a true mixology masterclass with a goofy joke here and there (the mint gag was awesome) - where's the pooch? Cheers from SC!
Never bored! Very interesting info. And I do have my/your home made grenadine and the elusive ( in Canada) Benedictine. Not much of a gin fan but this might change my mind. ( and it’s pink!)
Only thing that disappoints me, is that I will never be able to have Anders be my bartender. Such an amazing personality can you imagine how lively he kept the bar?
Gin daisy is one of my faves! No idea if it's the "right" type of gin, but I made it with Brooklyn Gin and Anders' grenadine, and I thought it was delicious!
@anderserickson you should do a video on this summer’s new vacation cocktail, the Sea Glass Sea Glass Cocktail For one drink... -2 oz. of Hpnotia (approx. 3 tosps.) -1 oz. coconut rum (approx. 2 scant tosps.) -4 oz. of club soda (approx. 1/2 cup) -Spearmint bruised -Combine Hpnotiq and coconut rum. Added ice. Add club soda. Top with bruised mint and stir.
Recently, I started making my own orgeat, and I was exploring for different cocktails to make with it. I came across the recipe for an army and navy, which is 2 parts Orgeat, 2 parts lemon juice, and 3 parts gin with a couple of dashes of angostura bitters and a drop of saline (I actually just dropped a few flakes of large finishing salt into the glass). Served up in a coup or martini glass. I usually make my wife an almond crush, which is non-alcoholic and served on the rocks with seltzer. Last night I added seltzer to my army and navy, I guess making it like a daisy.
I just made a Daisy de Santiago two days ago from the Smugglers Cove book. Rum, Yellow Chartreuse, lime, Demerara syrup and seltzer. Quite refreshing. Also, "Grenadictine" could be like Smugglers Cove's "Herbstura", though I don't know what the shelf life would be on something like that.
Now I need to try a Margarita with a splash of sparkling water. I've always found it a bit too harsh, so that might just be enough to make it perfectly balanced.
I'm still here! The only Daisy I have made is Sasha Petraske's Star Daisy: 3/4 ounce London Dry gin; 3/4 ounce apple brandy; 3/4 ounce dry Orange Curaçao; 3/4 ounce lemon juice; and 1/3 ounce simple syrup. No soda water (gasp!), and it's delicous. I know that the addition of simple syrup potentially leads it to stray out of Daisyland and into the sour family, but, do we really care when it's delicous and so close? Cheers!
They look at sound great. Quick question have you ever heard of FDR cocktail? I believe it’s made with rum, freshly squeezed, orange juice, and a few other ingredients, not sure. Your thoughts drinks and drinks
Love your content! Question for you as a bartender: I don't necessarily want to buy all the ingredients for cocktails such as this for my home bar but still want to try your original recipes - how uncouth is it if I go to my local and show them your recipe and them to make it for me?
Well hey I just happen to have all the ingredients for this on the shelves so guess what I'll be making tonight! Gin daisy (or 2) coming right up.......
The Danish queen Margarethe was also called Daisy. How could you make this Danish? I mean to celebrate her. When she was born she was princess of Iceland as well as Iceland belonged to the Danish crown at the time. Her last name of several is Icelandic Þórhildur. Make of it what you want 😀 Thanks for your content Although I don't have a bar or drink much I truly enjoy your stuff
Hi Anders, apologies if this is mentioned in your video already -- what do you think about using 100% pomegranate juice (from a bottle) in making a grenadine recipe? I've been putting off making homemade grenadine for months because I'm a little intimidated (and lazy) about juicing fresh pomegranate. The juice in question is 100% juice, no added sugar or other ingredients, so I would think it would work alright?
Hi Anders, how come all my cocktails taste the same? I always end up having to add water to them. Half an ounce or so to make them drinkable. The latest was a Mexican firing squad. I just ended up with a cup of heavy red that really just tasted like it needed something to lighten it up. I did enjoy the repasoda tequila though. The rum punch was the same way and I added 100% juice fruit punch to help make it drinkable but still way too sweet, hence why I just start adding water to them. Are they supposed to be so crazy sweet?
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I’m half crazy all for the love of you. It won’t be a stylish marriage, I can’t afford a carriage. But you’ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two. - Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) - 1892
Soda water does really seem like an afterthought. Does it really add to the cocktails? Are they better without. I made Daisy's with and without...water with CO2 adds nothing. Not enough of it to give a fizz but enough to make the drink less intense and less zingy.
Boop
Boop in a coupe.
by this afternoon, I'll be pushing up daisies
Boopsa Daisy
Anders, I’ve been waiting for the bear bar mat to be in stock for a while. Do you have any idea when they will be available for ordering again ? Thank you.
Did I miss something? Is there a golden ratio of citruses to liquors in non-daisy cocktails? I see 0.75x4, I see 1.5+0.75+0.5, I see 2+1+0.5. Have I been missing out on the secret formula?

9:29 the mint garnish was so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Started following you during the pandemic and I love the blend of history and breakdown of the drinks.
Keep it up!
Appreciate you sticking around! Cheers
Started watching the channel casually during the pandemic and now I'm a bartender lmao
I’m still here and my mind is indeed blown! You’re a great teacher Anders and that’s why I stick around!
Appreciate that. Cheers!
I laughed *way* too hard at the mint bit. Excellent video as always, sir!
The first (Sidecar-ish) one looks very good! I’ll try it tonight.
FYI - You need to make a recipe book!
“You’re a daisy if you do.”
I hear that line in the voice of Doc Holiday in Tombstone.
When he explained what daisy meant in the old days I immediately realised what doc holiday was meaning
"I'm your huckleberry"... Syrup. For the daisy.
This is the comment I came here for.
@@PTPerdix
Hello to all the “it’s huckle bearer” people who came to say it.
But you must admit the huckleberry syrup joke is hilarious!!
I liked the history of this, I was always under the impression that a daisy was a sour style sweetened with only a liquor. I will make both of these this evening!

Love the history, the dry humor, and the drinks! Keep the videos coming chief!
I could watch your videos for hours, what am I saying, I have watched you for hours haha! Your videos are entertaining, educating and just a joy to watch! Keep up the great work!
The second one is a 'must do'. Finally a new way to use the grenadine you taught me to do.. 😎
Great video!! Love the deep dive into the history and the illustrations are top notch
Don't you just love it when you watch an Anders video and have (almost) everything to make the drink in question.

We made your version of the Gin Daisy - so good!

The drinks sound delicious. To the bar!

I just ordered your mixing glass and stirring spoons!
Interesting! Never heard of this style, so thanks
Freaking loved the Daisy!
These have become my go to for everything cocktails and comic relief amidst the heat of summer- a true mixology masterclass with a goofy joke here and there (the mint gag was awesome) - where's the pooch? Cheers from SC!
Good evening, my favorite bartender
Never bored! Very interesting info. And I do have my/your home made grenadine and the elusive ( in Canada) Benedictine. Not much of a gin fan but this might change my mind. ( and it’s pink!)
waiting for Az to taste the drink, dang it!
Just made both of them. Nice!
that moment you had with the mint made me llol!
Running a little low on your Jamaican Rum there Anders🤏 🤓
Oh no, I just used the glasses emoji too!
Really interesting video Anders! I have the rocks glasses chilling for the Gin Daisy as i type! Can't wait to try this one!
Only thing that disappoints me, is that I will never be able to have Anders be my bartender. Such an amazing personality can you imagine how lively he kept the bar?
Good episode! Want to make that drink!
Gin daisy is one of my faves! No idea if it's the "right" type of gin, but I made it with Brooklyn Gin and Anders' grenadine, and I thought it was delicious!
Get Oz back in the drink review more often!
Love your content!
today i learned that, apparently, my favorite daisy-style drink is the margarita. mind DEFINITELY blown.
This is delicious 😋 Thank you 😊
Oh, fabulous day, two Anders Erickson drink recipes, and I have all the ingredients! To the Bar!
Cheers
What a well timed video. I just made your Gin Daisy, and it’s tasty! Thank you!
I've been dabbling in re-arranging some cocktails with kefir (Kefirinha, Kefito, Manhattir and the like) and the results seem like very refreshing.
I wish you'd done a rum daisy, too!
@anderserickson you should do a video on this summer’s new vacation cocktail, the Sea Glass
Sea Glass Cocktail
For one drink...
-2 oz. of Hpnotia (approx. 3 tosps.)
-1 oz. coconut rum (approx. 2 scant tosps.)
-4 oz. of club soda (approx. 1/2 cup)
-Spearmint bruised
-Combine Hpnotiq and coconut rum. Added ice. Add club soda. Top with bruised mint and stir.

Damnit Anders... I've been avoiding buying Bénédictine but here is the cocktail that broke the camel's back
Great news style that I haven't thought about. I really like that you do the research so I don't have to!
Cheers
A great video, giving me some insight into how a favourite (but ingredientwise secret) drink of mine at a very good bar might be prepared.
If you add the sparkling water to the glass before straining the cocktail, it will incorporate more smoothly and you won't need to stir 🤙
I think you omitted the lemon juice from the brandy Daisy recipe. A great video.
Cheers!
Thanks Anders! Sours are my favorite. I just tried to order a bunch of bottles from your curiada list but unfortunately they don't ship to Ohio (yet).
Thank you for the daisy video on daisy drinks that will - typical to cocktails/drinks you share - taste daisy, I am sure.
I think that phrasing works.
Nicely done! Cheers
Mind officially blown !
Clover club with a splash of club soda is now a clover daisy !
Love your videos because you’re always very educational but in an entertaining way. It’s easy to watch and learn🫶
Still here 😁 and loving the videos!
Still here. Never bored. 🤓😄
Still here Mr Anders, keep it up :)
I’ve always seen a gin daisy next to a gin buck in my books.
I love this guy. Missed Az in this one 😢
Daisy who? Daisy me rollin'
Got to try the Gin Daisy,, prefer a little more "Boop"in my cocktails 😂😂❤❤
Perfuming yourself with the mint while you garnish is a class move!
Both look delicious I'll try them both.
Cheers
NGL, I wanna try grenadictine
I love the illustrations. Did you or Oz make them?
That’s all Az! Usually my favorite part of the videos. Cheers
They look at sound great. Quick question have you ever heard of FDR cocktail? I believe it’s made with rum, freshly squeezed, orange juice, and a few other ingredients, not sure. Your thoughts drinks and drinks
Those look so tasty... Fun Video!
Daisy is still used that way in a lot of the UK. If someone does something excellent it's common to say "You absolute fucking Daisy"
Love your content! Question for you as a bartender: I don't necessarily want to buy all the ingredients for cocktails such as this for my home bar but still want to try your original recipes - how uncouth is it if I go to my local and show them your recipe and them to make it for me?
I wouldn't think so - but I don't know your bartenders. Worth a shot!
Hello Anders, great episode and history. Please update the brandy daisy in description comments to add the 1/2 ounce of lemon juice 👍
Done. Thanks!
Chasing the origins is great. Hail dale DeGroff!
Really enjoy the channel!
Looking to try the gin daisy... but...
Is there a substitute for the Benedictine?
Serving tonight at a party Daisy taste off.
Exactly how many of those did you try before you began recording this? 😵💫
🤔interesting.
What about the Daisy Duke….or the Daisy Chain
I learnt what a daisy was from a very old recipe book for bartenders
Daisy Duke
You saw it here first folks. The extraordinarily excellent daisy debacle of 2024.
Well hey I just happen to have all the ingredients for this on the shelves so guess what I'll be making tonight! Gin daisy (or 2) coming right up.......
Love it! Cheers
Grenadictine for the win

You could always try experiment with a Danish aquavit - or akvavit in the drink!

A style of drink? I thought she was a princess along with Peach?
Looks great, gonna try it today. I assume if I use Cointreau I can lessen the simple syrup.
Depends on your preferred level of sweetness. Smart to start with less simple - can always add more
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage, I can’t afford a carriage.
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

Was “excellence” the reason F. Scott Fitzgerald used the name Daisy Buchanan? 🤔
