Two whiskeys walk into a drink...(the Cameron's Kick!) 🏴🥃🇮🇪

- There is no punchline - just liked the title "Two whiskeys walk into a drink." Whiskeys can't walk, silly.
Today we're making a Cameron's Kick! With the month of March coming to an end, I wanted to make one last drink using Irish whiskey, and this classic calls for Irish whiskey AND scotch! An intriguing combination - both can be tricky to balance in a cocktail, but here they compliment each other in this one to create a creative twist on a traditional whiskey sour. Hope you enjoy this one - Cheers! 🏴 🇮🇪

Just realized a T Rex would have a hard time sipping a cocktail with those giant teeth - boy we sure are lucky.🥃🦖

Straws
Not as hard as mixing a cocktail with T-Rex arms though!
@@Project337 😂 straws indeed made from a hollowed out canine from a recent hunt. 😉
@@dawgvet7756 teeth would be the mixing source. 🙃
@@frhwebmaster Dare you to try to picture a T-Rex trying to use a Boston shaker and not chuckle. 😁
Maybe unpopular opinion but I love that the train makes an occasional appearance in the videos at the new place, it gives a very atmospheric, speakeasy-like vibe which I really enjoy! And thank you for showing us several different Irish whiskey cocktails in a roll, I got a bottle recently and it's great to be able to try different cocktails with it! Another A+ video, cheers Anders and Az! 🥂❤
Thanks, Dimitar! Hope you're enjoy the cocktails! Also appreciate your thoughts on the train - we're slowly embracing the rude interruptions 😂
@@AndersErickson I remember one of your older videos when you’re talking about how you (basically) live in an alley so it’s super noisy and “maybe one day” you’ll move somewhere without so many distracting noises! Laughed so hard when you first showed the new place with new train sounds to boot! And I agree with Dimitar, I love the little off-topic moments whether it be the train going by, or the perfect slide-away of the bottled orgeat out of frame. Please never stop :)
It reminds me of the Blues Brother scene where Jake asks Elwood “how often does the train go by?” Answer “so often you won’t notice”…
Daam though I was the only one who enjoyed the train interrupting
My new favorite part of these videos is observing Anders as Az tries the drink. It's clear he as no idea what kind of reaction he might get and is just a little worried
When I hear you say scotch and Irish whiskey.. I shouted “to the bar” and went to prep for the drink
Love this. Cheers! 🥃
As a kinsman of Clan Cameron, I appreciate this video immensely.
Fun Facts: The name Cameron comes from a Scots-Gaelic term meaning “crooked nose,” which is a facial feature of many with Cameron blood, myself included. Also, the Camerons were the last Scottish regiment to charge into battle wearing kilts. The German soldiers called them “ladies from Hell.”
Whoa - great factoid! Also sounds like a good name for a drink. Cheers to you, Tom!
@@richrich685 Technically, everybody is related.
Anders, just so you know.... I (we) really appreciate you and Az doing these... It is easy to get in a cocktail rut!! It is really fun trying new things behind the bar. So, thanks.
Bob from Minnesota.
Big thanks to you and Az for single handedly getting me into mixed drinks! I have enjoyed Scotch neat in a Glencairn glass but to discover and try all of these classic and new twists has been a fun adventure with my wife and my dad. Always look forward to more “sips, tips and recipes”! Cheers Anders! 🍻 P.S. Love the bear logo with the drink glass as the nose……very clever. 🤔
Thanks so much! Love that you spotted the drink glass as the nose! Points to you - Cheers! 🥃
@@AndersErickson Omg, is the white patch behind it a shaker tin?? xD
@@chrisschuett4052 it is now!
I adore the "we've already had two of these" vibe of this video :)
To the bar! 🥃
"Weird good" is always intriguing. I feel like some madman out there is going to make this cocktail, for better or worse, with not only scotch and Irish whiskey, but also adding bourbon and even rye, for a quad whiskey extravaganza. Am I that madman? Who's to say... Also I would choose a t-rex tail and ride a motorcycle
I feel like you are. Share the results with the rest of the asylum here, please.
@@WatanabeNoTsuna. will do, I'll need more supplies
😂😂I just did this. I made the Cameron's Kick with subbing the scotch for rye (bc no scoctch on hand) and poured an extra irish in there.
Legit I don’t know if there is a more likable pair on youtube. You guys are great.
Hey Anders and Az! I love and appreciate the content you guys put out, educational and entertaining is a phenomenal combination. I do have one request for a video topic. I was wondering if you (Anders) would be interested in making a video on proper bar tool care. I see you already did a video on essential spirits and equipment, but I would love to see one where you go over cleaning and maintaining your tools, bottles, and workspace. I’d love to hear if you would be interested in such a video
I agree. Definitely need tips and tricks on this for some better sips!
Anders, I always love when you do a “series” of drinks that utilize ingredients I already have (Irish whiskey in this case). Can’t wait to try this one.
Love your Lo-Fi ambient :-). Always great to see your vids!
Absolutely love you’s twos camera presence. Very genuine and warming! I always look forward to seeing your video. Anders you have really helped me develop a more sophisticated style of bartending for that I can not thank enough 🙏
this is one of my favorite channels because you film everything to beautifully. Most times I have no plan make a drink... I just want to see a pretty frosty glass 😍 but the cocktails are great too! love this channel.
We have a family drink that mixes Scotch and Irish Whiskey. I had no idea there was an actual drink with both. Ours is called The Heritage. Scotch (for our Scottish side), Irish Whiskey (for our Irish side), and Vernor's (because we're from Michigan - Vernor's is gingerale, but better).
Anders I was introduced to a drink a few years back at my local favorite bar that pertains to Islay scotch being difficult to mix with. Story has it, the bar owner borrowed it from a bartender that created this drink at a Laphroaig sponsored bartenders competition between five and ten years ago.
3/4 lemon
3/4 vanilla syrup
1 egg white
2 Laphroaig 10
The vanilla crushes the peat in such an unexpected way. Not sure if the original had a name but I knew it was "Robert The Bruce."
Love this! Very curious about this one - thanks for sharing! 🥃
Best part of the week! Thanks Anders
I adore the history lessons, even if they’re made up. Just adds to the value of the channel.
Interesting sounding drink! It looked familiar and then, with a bit of looking about, I realized it's similar to an Army & Navy, which I know my wife and I enjoy. Tried it last night, two versions (yours, with .5 oz each of Orgeat and Lemon Juice) and another that's out there (.75 each of Orgeat and Lemon Juice), and preferred yours. Thanks for the introduction to another delicious drink. Cheers to both of you!
Before you said this was a classic cocktail I read the title a thought “Wow, somebody named a drink after the scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Cameron kicked his dad’s car off the jack sending it down the hill? These names are getting really specific!”
Thanks Anders and Az. Another great start to date night.
As a newcomer to the world of cocktails and a veteran of amateur photography, I love both your content and your production values. To that end I'd like to know a little bit about how you light your videos, which is beautiful and -- I'm guessing -- probably pretty simple. It looks to me like you're using at least one soft light source, either side or slightly backlit, and maybe a reflector. Would love to see a behind the scenes video that would include a little background on your lighting and filming methods. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!
Anders....I just LOVE your channel. I have made a number of your drinks and they all turn out fantastic. I am not a bartender but am fascinated with mixology. Right now I have 3 bottles of liquor that I was hoping you could help me with to create unique cocktails with. The bottles are Ancho Chile Reyes. Ancho Reyes Verde, and Aquavit. I am not really sure how to use any of these 3 liquers. I appreciate any help with this and keep making wonderful videos. I love the chemistry between you and Az. Regards....Daphne
I love see you both together, you should do more videos together. I start building my bar with your videos and now I am so into cocktails that a bought some of the books you recommend, I didn’t like cocktails and maybe was because I never had so good cocktails that the ones a prepare with your recipe. I live in the UK and it is a shame I am not able to order from Curiada so sometimes I have to try other options. I love what you do and I think is amazing. I would like to ask if you can try to do a cocktail with Venezuelan rum we have a couple that are really good. Big hug and like I always said please don’t stop doing your videos.
I would take a T rex tail in a heartbeat. Easy way to relax while out and about. Just lean on the tail like a chair. Great video as usual.
Kinda how I thought about it too 🦖
Have never bought an Irish whiskey in my life (and I'm about 15% Irish! mostly Scottish-'Murican though :) ) but grabbed what a Safeway in Maui had and made it with the rest in proper place including Liber's. Wow! Really refreshing and lighter than I would have guessed. Keep up the great work.
Another great video. Already made my own Cameron Kick. Darn good. Thanks for sharing.
I am rarely mixing with Irish Whiskey (usually sipping it neat). So I prefer using a higher proof one, like Teeling (Small Batch, Single Grain). All of their iterations are 92 proof, so you can feel the flavour better (I've just used it to make the Cameron's Kick, in tandem with a 92 proof Glen Scotia double cask single malt). Even the orgeat syrup was made in house, following your recipe. It was a really nice drink.
I just used Liber & Co orgeat to make an Army Navy. It, and the cocktail, is fantastic!
this drink sounds heavenly
OK, Anders, you did it again. Timing is perfect and I now have the drink for our “cocktail hour” this evening. Was actually wanting to do one more Irish whiskey cocktail as my wife and I both have 50% Scots-Irish heritage.
I appreciate this channel. And this is one of my favorite scotch cocktails… loved learning the backstory.
WE just came off the slopes of Beaver Creek and one of the bars, to remain nameless, totally dorked an adult beverage. Was supposed to be a bourbon, mezcal with "lemon infused maple syrup". Totally missed the mark. It was more like a lemonade which sat next to bottles of bourbon and mezcal for five minutes. We WILL be experimenting at home to get the ratios correct. Must have been the T-Rex thing that made me think of it. I was mad like one after that order.....LOLOL. Made me appreciate your mixing so much more.
I’ve made plenty of bad drinks during bartending years 😊
One of my favourites! Also whiskies can’t walk, silly 🙃 made me chuckle. Awesome vid as always!
I have never tried this cocktail but now It looks like I have to make one for myself ASAP. Great episode as always!
One of my favorites from the Savoy. Along with the Dandy cocktail. Enjoy it!
Liber & Co has yet to disappoint with the syrups I've tried. Awesome video as always!
Big fan of most of their syrups I’ve tried, also.
Agreed. Their demerara syrup was shockingly good when I got it.
Sounds fun. Gonna make this at the bar tomorrow. My chef loves Irish whiskey, can’t wait to see what she thinks.
This was super good.
Thank you sooo much for making this video! I've made this drink for many years. Such an underrated classic! And thanks for following the classic specs from Savoy.
Tried my first Cameron's Kick tonight. ❤ Its going in the favourites book.
Ok boss, this is just another in a string of your excellent vids. My son in law and I are becoming skilled thanks to you, Big Thanks. Made a Cam-Kick last night, actually x2 to fill a double old fashion glass. VTasty cocktail!! sneaky strong.
I do it aswell. First the sirup and then the citrus for washing out. :D
I love the inclusion of the Powers Gold Label!!
Love this drink. Thank you for introducing me to it. Just tried it with 3-4 dashes Peychaud's tonight and, wow!
Love that footed rocks glass. I wish they came in reasonable sets (2,4).
I know - hoping that changes, but they haven't asked my opinion yet.
John, try your local antique's store. I found mine, slightly different from those Anders has, for 2 bucks each at one. And yes they are nice.
@@camel1117 yeah I see glassware around but haven’t seen this and I like it
I love your videos I dont have anything to make but have been thinking of it. The video structure
You’ve double strained this into the top 10 eps. “Oooh, that’s super smooth” “it’s good weird” ok now its my favorite and my name isn’t even Cameron
I literally just bought some scotch and thought to myself “I wonder if Anders has a scotch recipe”. I think UA-cam’s algorithm has official hacked my subconscious
Always room for a little good weird in my day.
My name is Cameron and I approve of this drink!
I had it on my fall cocktail menu last autumn 😁
Made it last night with Monkey Shoulder and Jameson. Being a Paper Plane, Black Manhattan kinda guy this was very different in a good way (and I got to use my Orgeat). Thank for the weekly inspiration!
A surprisingly balanced drink
As a science teacher I can confirm the "science-ness" of what you said. As long as you make observations and write it down you can call it science. :)
I have a notebook at my bar to write down recipes and make notes just for this reason.
Love my weekly history lesson that has a delicious drink as a reward!
Az is now known as the “Brawny girl”! 🤣
My favorite whisky for a sour is a nice fruity malt. I need to try this one sounds right up my alley
Fantastic video as always Anders! I made the drink and it was a bit too sweet for me, but I'll be sure to tweek it to my tastes in the future. Thank you!!
Thanks for giving it a try, Joonha! Happy mixing and have a great weekend! 🥃
There are times when I have wondered if Anders and Az got a little high prior to filming. This week I’m certain of it.
I’m can see them editing, saying to each other, “Do you think anyone will be able to tell?”
Yes. Yes we can. Lol
This drink sounds amazing. I love scotch!
ANDERS!!!! This def will be tried by me!!! Cameron left town, so I'll drink his share!!! This looks awesome!!! CHEERS!!!
Whoever is Cameron or whoever created this recipe is genius. Delicious 👍
I'm with you, Georgi! An unexpected treat. Cheers to you, my friend! 🥃
Liber syrups are 🔥 I have a lot of them and have liked them all
I always love a "good weird" drink! Also, totally would go for a tail.
Tried it with my Monin orgeat and it’s pretty good. And I was looking on your curiada and noticed you have Licor 43 and I’ve been kinda on the fence about adding it. What do you tend to use it for?
As a Cameron, I will have to try making this.
This sounds right up my alley and I am happy to have more uses for my orgeat.
Drink the 'KICK' ...Quick!...Super-chilled...Oh Yeah!!!! i've never 'used' Orgeat Before!!.. Hey ...1st for 'everything'...Excited to 'TRY'! Cheers to you Both! ...your Canadian Bartender....
I have both Scottish and Irish ☘️ Heritage. I absolutely adore 🥰 Monkey Shoulder from Speyside and it’s delicious 🤤. Thank you Anders for another wonderful cocktail 🍹 and may Bon Dieu bless you!
Cheers, Andrew! 🥃
As a member of the Clan Cameron, I wholeheartedly approve
The only Cameron i am thinking of are the famous moviedirector James Cameron.
A really nice drink though.
Kinda weird, but in a good way!
Powers is a great Irish whiskey for mixing, especially when splitting the base with a scotch like monkey shoulder, as it's got more Pot Still whiskey in the blend than other whiskeys like Jameson or Tullamore Dew. Helps it to stand up to the maltiness of the Monkey Shoulder as an ingredient in its own right, rather than just being "more booze"
Do you know Murphy` s Drink? It was served on the "Titanic" and is a recipe from 1910.
What is best book on whiskey cocktails? I'm new to whiskey ( I love it).
Great timing. I have a batch of Orgeat I need to use up. If I'm going to use Suntory whisky for this, any recommendations for that split base? I have a Tullamore irish whisky. But maybe those are almost too similar?
The Liber & Co is definitely a good commercially available orgeat.
What is your closing music? Delightfully soothing.
Salud🍻🇲🇽
What a great timing, a few minutes ago I think I wish I had a drink. But I have no orgeat at home😭 so I have to make one next week an try this drink. Thank you for this video
Trying this tonight after work. Will probably go with Monkey Shoulder and Sexton whisky as its the only Irish I've got on the shelf at the moment. Looking forward to it!
Hi.
Great video!(as always) I got an idea for a series to do on the channel.I would love to hear your explanation about different spirits, kind of what you did with mezcal. (Also an idea for the name: NOW THE BOOZE)
Such a great cocktail! Never understood why it's not more well known...especially with it's cousin (Army Navy) being pretty popular.
The train arriving made me think of this:
"Just a soothing, relaxing, vibrating home huh?"
What movie? 🤓
Wow - I had to look that one up. Haven't seen Seven in forever! Guess it's time for another viewing 🎥 🍿 Cheers, Johan!
From the mountains of NC there are many Scotch-Irish inhabitants. (Hint: I'm one of them) I'll have to give this a try! Thanks for the video! Also, I'm heading to Nelson's this summer because of you!! Bottom's up!!
Cheers! Say hi to the island for me! 🍻
@@AndersErickson absolutely! Going to join the bitters club! I'll let them know you sent me!
Cool! There’s a sweet new speakeasy style cocktail bar that just opened up near me called Provision in castle rock
You can try William Lawsons. Ik it's cheap but I love it.
😂 arms and tail.
Anders, both you and Oz should seriously consider making drinks in T-Rex 🦖 costumes.
I’d pay to see that and I’m certain it would go viral. 😉
Hahaha kinda love this idea
Wow I get it. My first reaction after taking a sip was “that’s wired, followed by but in a good way”… LOL
Sup Anders, love your videos. How do you make a Oaxaca Old Fashioned. Would love to see a video on that.
Ooh that's a good one. I've made it a few different ways - from all mezcal to mostly tequila with just a little mezcal. Depends on the bottles you’re working with. For the sweetener, agave nectar is standard, and I like using Ango as the bitters. As for the garnish, I like a twist of grapefruit with the mezcal, but I know orange is common. A video on this one's a great idea - Cheers!
Another great video! I do have one question. You stated on the video that you can have this up or on the rocks. What characteristics in a drink determine if you want to enjoy a drink up or on the rocks? Is this subjective or is there reasoning behind the method?
It's subjective. I like most of my sour style cocktails served up because I tend to drink them faster than a spirit-forward cocktail. They're best consumed fresh and light while there's still air incorporated from the shaking. Of course rules are meant to be broken, and if there are bigger flavors (like scotch) I can see enjoying it on the rocks to keep it chilled longer as you drink it. The bigger flavors also hold up better to further dilution, but again, it's all subjective. Good question!
Yeah, good question. I ordered a Manhattan the other day and, to my surprise, it came in a rocks glass with regular old ice in there. It was tasty, but I felt like I had to drink it quickly to keep it undiluted. I guess I should ask which way the drink comes from now on.
Appreciate your perspective! This question has been on my mind for a while.
My bar is full, litterally, so my wife won't let my buy yet another whisky. So if I don't have Irish Whisky, what's best: all scotch blend or using Rye (that's the only two I have :-)) instead of Irish?
Clicked for the cocktail, "liked" for the T-Rex
Try highland park scotch with it
Okay so I never made orgeat before but saw this and decided to make the whole “decades worth” recipe from your syrups 2.0 video just to make this drink tonight! The syrup is absolutely amazing, the drink though isn’t my favourite. It’s nice and all, but don’t get much of the orgeat when I made it. I don’t have Powers though so had to make do with Glenfiddich which could have overpowered it? Oh well, need to go through some of your other videos which call for orgeat now, I have enough to make use of! Great video as always guys :)
Well glenfiddich is a scotch so did you double scotch? Any Irish and blended scotch should give you an idea. Those ratio's scotch is gonna overpower. For a good scotch cocktail check out the penicillin
@@imboringlycool oh dear you’re right, I used two scotches instead of scotch and Irish whiskey! I’ll get some Irish whiskey today and remake, thanks for pointing that out for me. Also, penicillin is a top 3 cocktail for me, LOVE that drink.
Also.....love the video!!! Always do!
El Guapo also makes really.good orgeat, both an almond and a Creole made with pecans
Quick question: as you seem to think that this drink is best served very cold, would it be best served being presented on the rocks... perhaps in a lowball with clear ice?
That story is questionable... But the drink looks like a fabulous spiked luxurious lemonade.
I love all you videos. Please could you recomend a Boutbon and Rye whisky for someone which a sweet tooth.
A good question. Bourbons tend to be sweeter than the spicier rye whiskeys - so if you have a sweet tooth, some you might enjoy are Woodford Reserve, Maker's Mark, or Four Roses Small Batch. Of course, if you like things really sweet, you might want to mix up an old fashioned where you can adjust the sugar level of your drink. Hope this helps!
You’re like the Peter McKinnon of cocktail youtube
Definitely not the tail. I wouldn't be able to drive otherwise. I'm going arms. LOL
😂
