      I'm sure it's possible to make your own liqueur. But the "eau-de-vie" is distilled so it's probably too strong.

    I just tried this myself, using Ford's Gin and Luxardo apricot liqueur. I don't have Peychaud's on-hand so I used cardamom bitters instead. I didn't add any simple because I like my cocktails to have a little less sweetness. Overall, very light, crisp, and refreshing. Thank you for the great video. Stay out of the heat as much as you can this summer!

      Anders has been doing this for 20-odd years (and yet he is only in his 20s. What kind of devilry is this! 😆😆). That's a long time to learn, try, and experiment. And I suppose in order to be a good mixologist, you need to know the basics/classics, just like a chef needs to know French cuisine, even though he/she may not be cooking it (sure, there are exceptions).
      Most bartenders I have met who were worth their salt said that regardless of where they had worked, they had studied, researched and tried cocktail history on their own before being in a place where they felt comfortable designing or creating their own drinks.
      The majority of the cocktails Anders presents us are classics or modern classics and he throws in his own creations from time to time. Most cocktail bars build their catalogues on (modern) classic templates. You need to know the rules, before you bend or even break them.
      I was at Le Lion (home of the Gin Basil Smash, or "cradle of..." as the sign outside it says) in Hamburg in the beginning of May and again a couple of nights ago and they had different coktails on the menu both times. All of them riffs on classics, some more obvious, others quite the departure. I wish I could have tried them all. Maybe I should move to Hamburg... 🤔

    I've been curious why it is that while almost all drinks are chilled by some application of ice it seems the liquor itself is usually kept at room temperature. Why would one not start with refrigerated spirits?
    Along the same vein often times you'll go to the effort of putting the serving glass in the freezer first, but I've never heard of anyone starting with a chilled shaker.

    • @AndersErickson
      @AndersErickson  Рік тому +3

      Angostura Bitters has strong flavors of baking spices (clove, cinnamon, etc) and is bolder than Peychaud's - so it could easily overpower the flavors in a delicate drink like this. I like having both options behind the bar. A great example of an old fashioned with Peychaud's would be the Sazerac. Cheers, and thanks for the sub!

    I wanted to do this cocktail but I lacked some ingredients to do it so instead I made my own riff on it and got an orange creamsicle-like cocktail. Here's the recipe:
    1.5 oz of citrussy-flavored gin
    3/4 oz of Galliano (vanilla liquor)
    1/4 oz of orange curaçao
    1/2 oz of lemon juice
    2 dashes of Angostura bitter (might be better with Peychaud's but I don't have it at home so I did with what I had)
    The result is very good, though the vanilla may overtake the rest so next time I'll try 1/2 oz Galliano and 1/2 oz curaçao

    To add to the confusion regarding this cocktail, there is a third variation from the first edition of Beverages de Luxe (1911). The recipe is the following: "Pendennis Cocktail, fill mixing glass with shaved ice. Juice of one-half lime. One-third jigger Hungarian Apricotine (Apricot Brandy/Liqueur). One jigger Dry Gin. Stir and strain in cocktail glass." On the same page there are other recipes from the Pendennis Club, such as the Pendennis Mint Julep and Pendennis Eggnog.

I used ingredients on hand so Portobello Road Gin 1.5 oz, Ararat Apricot Brandy 1oz, a few dashes of Paychauds Bitters and organic lemon .5oz (from the little green squeeze bottle). Is it supposed to be so sour? Is the Brandy not sweet enough to counteract the Lemon? - UPDATE: Just rewatched and noted that with Brandy you recommended some simple syrup. I'll try to make it again.
