Today we're making a Remember the Maine! This classic whiskey cocktail is named after the 1898 sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor. Many believe this drink was created in Cuba, but being a spirit forward whiskey drink, it's different than most other Cuban cocktails. If you're a fan of a manhattan or Sazerac, give this one a try - you're gonna love it. Cheers!

Should I bring Freya on as a permanent co-host?
Head to rb.gy/akqu6 and use code ANDERS10 for $10 off the Chinola online shop!
Heck yes! She's such a polite co-host! I vote she gets the job!
You have a very good dog
Could you also create a drink recipe in Freya's honor?
water is best drink for dogs@@medicus5565
Anyone who downvotes this should be keelhauled!
And I second the motion to create the Freya Cocktail! Remember the Freya?
TO THE BAR! ➡️🥃
Best ad read ever
Love your channel! You’re the reason why I went down the rabbit hole of mixology haha! Thanks for being an awesome creator. :)
Happy the channel could help on your cocktail journey! Cheers
Same here! I have more than 60 bottles of boozahol now. 8 bottles of Chartreuse alone. Thanks Anders! 🥂
I went to grade school in Bangor, Maine. What had adorned the bow of the ship had been recovered and placed on a monument around the corner from my school. I walked by the "Remember the Maine" structure all the time.
Notice, the dog was featured during the ad so that people didn't just skip ahead. And yes.... it worked. ♥
It's so cool to see how big your channel has become. Here's to a million soon! Cheers!
Thanks for the support!
Excellent description, excellent demonstration, excellent delivery and excellent sense of humor. Can't wait to give this one a try!
Thumbs up for the good boy and his Chinola interest.
That's something Ill thumbs up for any day!
Awesome episode, back to the classics! Cheers Anders and Az! 🍸🍹🥂
Anders, first of all I have to thank you for your excellent, entertaining and as well, for me as Hobby-Mixologist, educating content! Thanks to Az and Freya as well for cheering me up every time they are with you on the channel! You brought Peychauds Bitter into my life, a real milestone. Tonight, I have to try the "Remember the Maine". Subscribed liked and commented, be absolutely sure not for the last but only the first time... 😃⚒"Glück auf" from Germany!
Thank you so much! Happy you're enjoying the content. Cheers!
It’s a great cocktail Anders, with perfect balance, but I have kept telling people in my bar that this is just a rebranded McKinley’s Delight, which first appeared in printing in 1896, as opposed to the Remember The Maine, which I believe is from 1939.
Makes sense - great tidbit. Thanks David. Enjoy the weekend.
Awesome! I’m excited to try this one.
This cocktail is excellent. Thanks for this one.
I got so excited when I realized I had all the ingredients for this one so I jumped up and made it. Almost feels like a riff on a manhattan, which is nice when you feel like breaking out of the mold. Great cocktail!
Man I love your videos! I love the content and the humor. I look forward to the new episode every week.
Tried this one for the first time at my favourite cocktail bar! So good, they also flamed the absinthe!!!
This is so very close to my Bobby Burns template. I make that with a rinse of absinthe, too, with two full ounces of base spirit to one ounce of vermouth and a quarter ounce of liqueur. This has worked well with every combination of base spirit, vermouth, and liqueur I've tries so I'll bet it would be wonderful here.
I have liked your content since first finding it and I’ve not been disappointed at all
I really enjoy Az's tasting notes.
That looks good, definitely going to give it a try
Your pup has so much expression on her face. I think she understands exactly what you are saying 😊
Sounds up my alley. I even have most of those ingredients on hand. Thanks!
Freya is a cutie
Cheers! Enjoy the weekend
Thank you for expanding my to-do list.
You are hilarious. I am going to try this with my home made sour cherry liqueur (I live in the Canadian Prairies/Foothills). I look forward to every Friday episode for my end-of-work week cocktail!
Thank you for this. I swapped out the cherry hearing for pear brandy, and it was exquisite!
Absinth makes the heart grow fonder...
Hey guys! You have become the by far most anticipated and joyfully watched channel for me! Thanks for the amazing and humorous videos! :)
Since some of your most intriguing recipes call for Sherry, I would love for a tasting episode about the different kind of sherries, and when to use what - since I am completely oblivious to that segment of wine / mixology.
"Prost!" from a very over-seeable but humble house bar in Germany!
This looks delicious! I'll need to get some of the ingredients I'm missing and give it a try.
Anders! My wife and I just moved to Chicago from Seattle, and I started watching your channel months before we landed here. Thanks so much for the history and general lessons you’ve given me on cocktails. I come from the bourbon world, and was very happy to transition into the wider world of spirits and balanced cocktails. Cheers!
Welcome to Chicago!
Thank you! Any chance you’d pop a recipe for a bourbon/rye-based cocktail with Chinola?
Just made this - what a great cocktail! I didn't have Cherry Heering on-hand so I made it with Luxardo for now, but I've got some cherry bounce infusing and am excited to give that a shot in a few months.
Anders on point, as always...great cocktail and great video as usual.
Hi Anders….great story about this drink!….such a classy cocktail, your stirring action was fantastic!…..I really enjoy listening to you talk about the history of the drink and of course when you go “to the bar”!👌👌👌👏👏👏 Have a great weekend, and CHEERS!🍸🍸😁😁
As a Dominican I fully love this week’s sponsor!
I really enjoyed this cocktail (remember the Maine), especially the smell of the absinthe rinse on each sip. Nice alternative to a Manhattan which my father in law and enjoy weekly
Perfect balance... also finally got to use my 'fancy' Italian cocktail cherries! Keep up the beauty content!!
Anders, my friend, this is a fabulous cocktail. I don't have a sprayer, so I washed the glass switch a bar spoon full Absinthe, and it is just delicious.
I haven't had this one in a while. I think it's time to try it again .
Just tried this. I like it so much more than a sazerac!
Great history lesson this week. And great dog expressions too.
Excellent, informative, entertaining video ! I love a manhattan. I may have to try. Almost forgot the ad and the Dog ! Love your dog 🐕 💕. Such a good doggy. Well trained to treats. 🙂
It was worth it for the ending. You’re so fun
Yum! I’m off to the bar!
what a twist at the end!
the mast of the maine is at a memorial in portland. its on the east side crest of a place called munjoy hill. its a pretty view. i used to visit maine frequently.
Always good to drop in…. Cheers !
I have to say, I loved your dog being involved in the process. I think that’s the first time I’ve watched an ad! 😂
St George is my absolute favorite absinthe, i would love to hear your take on balancing cocktails using different beands
Love this drink, Anders! I first tried it with the specs from the PDT Cocktail Book (w/ the full 2 oz rye). Trying your version tonight. Cheers. To the bar!
Terrific ratios Anders and what a delicious cocktail! Freya is adorbs! My only change is that I use a rye that is proofy and 100% rye! Love it! Can't wait to make another one of these! Cheers! 🙂
Thanks Christine! Happy you’re liking the ratios. Great call with the 100% rye. Cheers!
@@AndersErickson Thanks so much Anders! Be well!! Cheers! 🙂
2 oz in the glass. Nice tip Anders! Great drink
So I just had Maraschino Liqueur at hand yesterday when I tried it. Went for full 2 oz of Rye and oh boy did I like it. I will not even try to get Heering because I think the Maraschino worked so damn well!
On the big island of Hawaii, I had the most amazing passion fruit Mojito. That Chinola would be great for that!!
Where at? I’m on Big Island also!
@@-AtomsPhere- Bamboo Restaurant in Hawi.
@@andymeresse6930 haven’t been there in forever, I’ll check it out again
Heading to Chicago next week! Gonna try a shot of Malort just to say I did.
I remember the Maine. I’m gonna see them next March lol
Haha! I love the dog! So funny, and awesome.
Just made one! I’ll have to remember the main Remember the Maine recipe.
Woohoo! A drink I have all the ingredients for, and is right up my alley. I use Bulleit Rye though and Antica Formula. No atomiser, so swirl and toss the absinthe (what a waste), and then I goofed and did double the Cherry Heering. Still tastes good. Cheers! Happy Friday Happy Hour! I might have another... Freya is doing a good job cohosting, but perhaps you should have her behind the camera and have Az cohost. Just an idea.
Killer cocktail, well done indeed.
the story around the cocktail is the best...
LOL on “sinking” there at the end!
My favorite variant of this includes Cherry Heering + Cherry Brandy (specifically kirschwasser). Just Heering makes it a little too sweet. Kirschwasser provides balance.
Great content, as always. Will try this one. Anders, would like to see your take on The Hunter. Similar ingredients - Rye, Vermouth, Cherry Heering, only Luxardo instead of Absinthe. It’s fantastic.
Happy Friday (13th). First off, the atomized absinthe is the way. It is so worth it not only to evenly distribute, but also to just be less wasteful. I do love me some Nawlins' cocktails.
As for this cocktail, looks like fun, and there are few (that I know) cocktails calling for Cherry Heering. The Remember the Maine will be tried out tonight or this weekend.
Cheers!
Love it. Cheers - enjoy the weekend
Drink suggestion!
Black Bean Margarita
3 OZ reposado Tequila
3/4 OZ black bean can juice
1 OZ Cointreau orange liqueur
Half OZ agave syrup
Half a tablespoon chopped cilantro
Pinch cumin
Pinch chili powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 muddled lime wedges or juice of half a lime
Shake in cocktail shaker with ice
Pour over ice, sprinkle with salt (black salt if you have it) and enjoy!
Should I just make this in the bathroom?
Perfect cocktail for the Navy’s birthday!
😂 I love your humour!
Look at that puppy AWWW
Home remodel plus work and I am not getting to watch these as soon as posted. I have found overall I like stirred cocktails more just because of the simplicity and I am lazy. This looks very very good.
Thanks for another great video, Anders. Will you ever do a live stream on this channel?
Thought about it - good to know three's some interest
@@AndersErickson great idea
Well, I don't know sh!t from Chinola but I do know that Absinthe makes the heart grow fond.
This ought to be good! I love a good Manhattan, its riffs, and all the ingredients so this is right up my alley. And it will be good to use Cherry Heering in a cocktail other than the Blood and Sand.
Maybe a video with suggestions about bottles we rarely use in cocktails, for instance Cherry Heering, Suze (though there are a couple of drinks other than the White Negroni that call for it)?
And I would love to see how you make the Pornstar Martini. I have tried to figure out the original recipe (no lime... though it is ok to add a bit) and the closest I came to was a low-quality video by Douglas Ankrah himself preparing it. Though in it, it looks like he forgets and adds passion fruit syrup twice!
I would watch every add if there is a cocktail recipe in it
What are the benefits of doing an absinthe rinse as opposed to just adding 5mL or so to the cocktail as you mix? Potentially even using a dasher bottle to add in minimal amounts?
Awwwww Puppy!!!!!!!! 🐕
Now THAT looks like a tasty beverage. Though not sure Oz was convinced... 🙂
I’m very excited to try this but can’t find Heering in my area. I have amaro nonino and Luxardo meriscino, could either of these be a substitute?
I usually skip over the ad reads on most channels. Not with Anders.
Every heard of/used Agricanto? Italian liquor, instead of the Heering, for this drink.
I made this last night. Very good. But, it seems like a Turf Club with rye swapped for the gin. Still, good cocktail to add to my rotation.
How would maraschino sub for the heering? Totally different drink? Thanks for the continued great content!
General question: can ouzo be used to rinse the glass with that anisette flavor instead of absinthe?
Passion fruit freak here had to order it!
What wood is your bar made from!? It's stunning!
Fine video and interesting cocktail. Could I substitute Maraschino liqueur for the cherry heering?
I know that bottle! (the Chinola!) I have to clean that bottle all the time... ugh. But it IS good!
Hey Lisa, were glad to hear you enjoy Chinola, we know the yellow contents of our bottle can be messy, but its all the flavour concentration that is waiting to burst in your mouth!!
Such a great channel…
Learned about a funny take on this cocktail called “Remember me, Mang” which swaps Whiskey for Anejo Tequila and Absinthe for Mezcal.
Haven't got room for more bottles at the moment. Does kirchwasser make a decent sub for the heering?
Could I make this with Maraschino as a substitute? Perhaps more Rye? Your vids are the best as always. Cheers
Chinola from Dominican Republic is a great licour
Hey Adam, thanks for your support, we hope to be a staple in your bar
OK, this drink looks pretty cool. I don't have Cherry Heering. I do have this German cherry liqueur called the Eckes Kirsch, so wanna try this out with that. Maybe it will be good? Who knows until I try it. Looks like a great recipe, thanks Anders. As always.
Hope you enjoy it. Cheers
If I recall, Eckes Kirsch is a bit sweeter than Cherry Heering, but it's been a while.
@alfredanheier4779 I need to taste it still. I'm a little scared to open it, because the reviews have been mixed. Some say it's amazing, some say it's horrible.
Could you link the spray bottles for the absinthe? I'd love to get some and support you by doing so! I find the coat and dump method to be to much also.
to my bar!
What a sweet Pup 😍
Liked just for the gag at the outro :D
Make a riff called "To Hell with Spain" please! Maybe brandy and PX?
I’m always looking for new recipes for this bottle of Cherry Heering I bought, looking forward to trying this!
Chinola looks good. I have the Giffard passion fruit liqueur; I like it much better in a PS martini than Passoa. I’d be interested in comparing them if I can find the Chinola.
Can I use luxardo instead of the cherry heering ?
Freya joining today was a fun idea. I hope to see more of her.....
Dear @AndersErickson, what if I really want to try this cocktail tonight, but I don't have cherry heering?
