Do you know how one can tell someone has truly "made it" and is a highly successful "UA-camr"? When they show how relaxed and comfortable they are in their own skin when creating content. I have been a fan of yours the entire time, watching all your videos, growing my amateur mixology hobby, all due to you. But for some reason in this episode, you really look relaxed, confident and comfortable. Bravo, and a great episode indeed. Four new ones to try! Well three - who hasn't made an Old Fashioned. Cheers and thanks!
Why you wanna call me out on my single use bottle of Nonino?😂 I’ll definitely be trying these. A good reason to add Benedictine to my bar. Thank you, sir.
In Louisville I learned an old fashioned recipe called the "sweater weather Old Fashioned". 2 oz bourbon/rye, .5 oz maple syrup, half bar spoon of vanilla bean paste (think...dime size), ango bitters. Stir, pour over a rock, garnish/stir with cinnamon stick. It's incredible.
That smoked maple old fashioned though. Daaamn!!! That’s how I make my house old fashion during the fall. But I’ve never tried to smoke it. That’s a must do. Thanks for the idea Anders.
Been planning for this exact thing since I stumbled on a cocktail smoking kit earlier in the year. It came with cherry, apple, and mesquite woods to start. But then my small torch quit, so now I need to replace it. I was inspired by a local cocktail creation called “The Smoking Gun”. Basically an old fashioned, with two major enhancements. The Bulleitt bourbon was washed with browned butter first. Second was that it was served in a mason jar, with the smoke piped in at the finish, then sealed in with a screw down lid. You then had the option to either simply remove the lid, making for a lighter smoke flavor in the drink, or by shaking it first, infusing a heavier smoke profile. Really fun, and delicious to boot!
Ummm...I believe you have that backward. Bourbon people, like myself, accept Jack Daniels as a bourbon. Jack Daniels people have difficulty with this. They insist "Tennessee whiskey" is different. Other than sugar maple charcoal filtering, it isn't.
Big same, but I have this wildly superstitious theory that I can herald in the fall by starting to drink fall cocktails and coffees in September regardless, lol.
Excellent as always - I think you've inspired me to make my first smoked cocktail. Also recently bought a bottle of bonded Laird's and some calvados to prepare for the season, so keep 'em coming.
I'd like to propose a fall cocktail challenge. Try to make anything "good" using butterscotch schnapps or sour apple. People leave at my house and it's just taking up space. Please and thank you
My wonderful other half has asked me to tell you how pleased she is that you've done a video with 4 whisky cocktails "because they are my FAVOURITE!" 😂 to the bar I go!
Awesome! Anxious to add these to my lineup of fall cocktails. I play around with various combinations of bourbon or rye, apple cider, maple simple, cinnamon simple, walnut bitters, and lemon juice - fall whiskey sours is what I call them.
I was SO impressed back when you presented the smoked maple OF in a video of its own. I've said it many times, if I were forced to drink only cocktail for the rest of my life, it would be the OF and its riffs. That one would be one of my top choices. Seeing you make seasonal, especially autumn, cocktails always gives me a warm feeling. Making and drinking the cocktails gives me an even warmer feeling. I love Fall, even if it is melancholic. Αnd what is there to say about JM's creations... Ι have mixed me a Bourbon Renewal plenny of times. Always hits the spot.
Jack Rose for fall (and, well, whenever) I do like the Bourbon Revival--thanks for reminding me why I have a bottle in the fridge. Will try the others!
I generally use maple syrup in my Old Fashions. The syrup, 3 dashes of angostura bitters, double shot of 100 proof rye, orange peel, and smoke. Will have to try walnut bitters.
At a favorite Brunch location, I always order a Breakfast Old Fashion which is quite similar to your Smoked Maple but without the smoke and it has a couple dashes of chocolate bitters also. Now I'm gonna have to smoke one. Thanks!
I'm not a black currant fan (plus I didn't want to go buy another bottle), so I tried the Bourbon Renewal with Creme de Mure instead and it was just okay. Because I have a bottle of Starlight bourbon finished in apricot brandy barrels, I then tried it with Apricot liqueur and used Orange bitters. A much better variation.
Love these. I really only make an old fashioned with maple syrup for the sweetener. However, haven't used walnut bitters before, so I'll need to grab a bottle.
Not usually a flavored whisky fan, but you brought up apple cider. Toasted Caramel whisky in apple cider is one of the best things for fall. I usually use Black Velvet Toasted Caramel, but that’s because I’m too lazy to look for an alternative 😂 try it out
I make a modified Old Fashioned for the fall/winter months. I use a spiced semi-rich turbinado syrup infused with cinnamon, elderberry, and cardamom, and smoked bitters from a local whiskey distillery. Since I can’t smoke my cocktails just yet, the bitters help give that smokey flavor while balancing the sweetness. 👌 Edit: can’t wait to try some of these!
I love this one from Modern Tiki: Poison Apple 1 oz Zaya rum 1 oz Berentzen Apple Liqueur 1/2 oz lemon juice 1 tsp allspice dram 1/4 oz maple syrup cinnamon stick, for garnish
The Junior sounds very interesting, especially after you placed it, taste-wise, between two of my favorites, the Lion's Tail and the Monte Cassino! It will be made! Cheers!
Yay for fall, cause I do loves me my whiskey cocktails, and they do oh so fit in the fall. Thank you for some new ones Anders! You've never done me wrong (almost. You sneak in the absinthe from time to time, and that is the liquid anti-Dusty)
Have you thought about putting it a cocktail recipe book. One with your original recipes as well as traditional cocktails that have been tweeked to your liking. I haven't found a recipe you've changed the ratios too that I haven't liked and would enjoy a recipe book full of them. Cheers.
Absolutely love the bourbon renewal, thank you for introducing it to me on your original video. I have modified my personal recipe a little by subbing cinnamon simple, which I feel gives a little more fall vibes. Great video as always!
Been a fan for quite awhile now, but this is a first time comment... there was a more relaxed air about this video than usual. All are entertaining and I think your videos outmatch other mixology channels, no question, so keep up the good work, but this one was like you were in my home and we were mixing drinks. As for a good go-to fall drink... maybe try your hand at this one. Use the following ingredients: Angels Envy, Port, St. Germain, Black Walnut Bitters, Top with Ginger beer. I won't reveal my ratios because I'd be interested in seeing you make a video on what you think the rations should be. Also, what did you decide for port? Tawny or Ruby? Lastly, what garnish would you use to serve this cocktail best?
I tried making a fall concoction it was split base .75 Plantation OFTD, .75 Bulleit Rye, .5 Amaro Nonino, .5 Pierre Frand Curacao, dash of Peychaud's bitters. IT TASTED EXACTLY LIKE SWEET RAWHIDE Not sure if I liked it, but I couldn't put it down, it was fascinating lol
I will definitely try a fall back because fall is here and I was just craving a Jack Rose. Please do more Fall Cocktail videos by base spirit before we get into the rich and sugary holiday vids! Cheers.
Hi Anders….I’m loving this “fall” vibe👌👌👌 and not 1, but 4 cocktails-you’re a rockstar!🤗🤗….I love whiskey based drinks-I think I would choose “the junior”…..Have a great weekend and as always “CHEERS!”🍷😁😁❤️❤️
The Fallback looks nice. I was thinking of trying to play around with an applejack this fall. My initial thoughts were actually trying Rye, Applejack, and Benedictine.
OK, let's see. I think the recipes are good and tasty, but it is very difficult to have all those rare ingredients in home like the Bénédictine D.O.M. or the Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis de Dijon or the Amaro Nonino and the Peychaud’s Bitters. So i will love you to prepare cocktails with more "realistic" ingredients so we can prepare them at home... No todos tenemos una barra tan amplia y con tantos licores diferentes. EN fin, soy un gran fan de tu canal y he aprendido mucho. Thanks Anders.
"... alternative to throwing whiskey in your apple cider." *me mid-sip of whiskey in apple cider* I don't have the Nonino stuff, but I do have half a bottle of SNAP that is herby and woody and might do the trick in a pinch. The Fall Back is the one I'm going to try out on my next evening. Though, the bourbon and cassis is calling my name pretty loudly and I do have both of those, as well as fresh lemons on hand.... Both? Both is good.
Is creme de mure a suitable substitution for creme de cassis? I made a big batch early this summer and need something to use it for other than brambles
The Bourbon Renewal is excellent. I like to use Demerara instead of simple syrup. It is more rich and I think makes it a little more appropriate for fall time. My wife and I came up with a smoked Applerita last year that is pretty good. .75oz Anejo .75oz Reposado 1.5oz mulled apple cider .5oz lime juice .25oz agave syrup Shake and serve in a kosher salt and cinnamon sugar rimmed rocks glass with several small ice cubes. Garnish with a thin apple slice. Cinnamon stick and star anise. Finally smoke the drink with applewood chips.
About 45 years ago, one of my best friends, and who's still a friend today, and a Scotch drinker, then and now, was listening to Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues" for the first time, and heard them sing, "Drink Scotch whisky all night long....". He exclaimed, "Scotch isn't whisky!" So, I said, "Sit down, my son...." And I didn't even drink the stuff.
I’ve been thinking that something wrong with me when I’m doing my cocktails. Sometimes it’s a mess, easy spill something, while in the videos it’s always smooth and clean. After that moments of the bourbon renewal, I’d be less worried 😅
A Farewell to Arms Split base bourbon/apply brandy (1 Oz each) 1/2 Oz Benedictine 1/2 Oz PX sherry 2 dashes ango bitters Stir and strain over fresh ice, lemon pee garnish Absolutely awesome during the cooler months
Let me know your go-to fall drinks. Cheers!

@@AndersErickson old fashioned...is one of our favs
"Looks like autumn...because the lime wheel looks dead." I LOL'd.
How about a garnish making tutorial? Making the cocktail appear delish is part of the fun!
Bourbon might not be a whisky, but it most certainly is a whiskey. 😉
There's no "might" involved at all.... It's definitely not a Whisky.
It is most definitely a "Whiskey"
@@CrusinVK Actually that is debatable. Two examples…Maker’s Mark and Old Forester both spell it Whisky.

@@AndersErickson How about a video with four of your favorite Nino cocktails?
In Louisville I learned an old fashioned recipe called the "sweater weather Old Fashioned". 2 oz bourbon/rye, .5 oz maple syrup, half bar spoon of vanilla bean paste (think...dime size), ango bitters. Stir, pour over a rock, garnish/stir with cinnamon stick. It's incredible.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds great
I’m trying this tonight!
@@nealpandozzi7916 Hope you love it!
That smoked maple old fashioned though. Daaamn!!! That’s how I make my house old fashion during the fall. But I’ve never tried to smoke it. That’s a must do. Thanks for the idea Anders.
Happy mixing. Cheers
OH I'm for sure smoking some old Fashioneds!!
I don't really like smoke in a scotch for example but a smoked old fashioned is one of my favorite things in the fall. Absolutely love it!
Been planning for this exact thing since I stumbled on a cocktail smoking kit earlier in the year. It came with cherry, apple, and mesquite woods to start. But then my small torch quit, so now I need to replace it. I was inspired by a local cocktail creation called “The Smoking Gun”. Basically an old fashioned, with two major enhancements. The Bulleitt bourbon was washed with browned butter first. Second was that it was served in a mason jar, with the smoke piped in at the finish, then sealed in with a screw down lid. You then had the option to either simply remove the lid, making for a lighter smoke flavor in the drink, or by shaking it first, infusing a heavier smoke profile. Really fun, and delicious to boot!
Oh man a Bourbon Renewal is just a top Tier drink for me! gonna for sure have to check out the rest of these!
Wooo Hoodie Weather!
Benedictine plus rye whiskey = amazing mix. In my humble opinion vieux carre is the best cocktail ever!!!!❤❤❤❤
I've been making smoked Old Fashioneds with maple syrup and black walnut bitters for years now! One of my favorite autumn sippers.
The Bourbon Renewal is one of my fav cocktails ever!! Great for all seasons but I do enjoy most in the summer.
First and for mosed i will NEVER forget RUM!!!! but peanut butter, butter, or maple washed burbons are amazing
Love the content! Keep it up!
Thanks so much. Cheers

Wrong. Bourbon isn’t filtered through charcoal. I don’t make the rules :)
@@coryfoster718 some Bourbon can be. Like Heaven Hill for example. Being filtered does not prevent it from being a bourbon.
Always love a good Bourbon Renewal! 😊
Thanks Anders! We are enjoying our Juniors as we watch UA-cam. ❤
It's 94 degrees here today, so I'm still thinking about summer, but these all sound good. Will keep in mind when the time comes! Thanks!

Really enjoyed the old fashioned recipe in this video. I used Elijah craig toasted barrel
Just made The Junior...my new favorite cocktail. It's perfect
My husband and I think you need to have more Az. You two are cute together.
We are looking forward to making the drinks. 😊
Substituted Campari for the Amaro in the “Fall Back” and it turned out pretty good!
This was a good one Team Anders!

The Bourbon Renewal is one of my all-time favorites- hands down. It is so good.
I’m always looking for new whiskey cocktails to try so thank you, Anders!! 🥃
Just discovered your channel. Great content!!! Love your recipes!!
Always watch the vids but this one was perfect for me, lit saved all the recipes
Having some friends over this weekend and this is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Gonna put on a tasty show! Thank you!

Beautiful cocktails. I love autumn. 🍁🍂
Oak maple walnut that’s 3 trees in one drink! You could split the maple with birch syrup and get 4 trees!
Love these.
I really only make an old fashioned with maple syrup for the sweetener. However, haven't used walnut bitters before, so I'll need to grab a bottle.
Dang, yum x 4.
Love the Bourbon Renewal! Usually use an egg white and sub in Demerara Syrup
Great video
The Junior is excellent!

Who in the world believes bourbon isn't whiskey? There's even an old adage that all bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon.
I was thinking the same thing???
LOVE your happy, entertaining, and educational videos! Would it be terrible to make the Smoked Maple Old-Fashioned a "plain" Maple Old-Fashioned?
Looking forward to trying this spec for the Junior! The original is definitely too thin and tart
The Fallback looks nice. I was thinking of trying to play around with an applejack this fall. My initial thoughts were actually trying Rye, Applejack, and Benedictine.
Like your style. Cheers
1:19 - the theater of making the Old Fashioned would have me order it immediately!
“And you could even try this with a bourbon-which is a whiskey.”
😂😂😂😂😂
Those dehydrated lemon twists are nothing great to look at either!!! Good video. Have a great weekend.
Fall here in Chicago and it's damn near 90 yikes. Hopefully it will get cool so we can have a bonfire and try some of these...LETS GOOOOO!!!!
True - the weather is throwing me off a little
OK, let's see.

Are you going to make a book with recipes? Love all the cocktails so far
That's the plan. Gotta get to it
@@AndersEricksonplease do so.

TO THE BAR!➡️🥃
The Bourbon Renewal is excellent. I like to use Demerara instead of simple syrup. It is more rich and I think makes it a little more appropriate for fall time.
My wife and I came up with a smoked Applerita last year that is pretty good.
.75oz Anejo
.75oz Reposado
1.5oz mulled apple cider
.5oz lime juice
.25oz agave syrup
Shake and serve in a kosher salt and cinnamon sugar rimmed rocks glass with several small ice cubes.
Garnish with a thin apple slice. Cinnamon stick and star anise.
Finally smoke the drink with applewood chips.
Man, TASTY cocktails. And I think I even got all the ingredients for them. Hmm, maybe not Cr. de C. Ok, the rest!
Imagine my surprise when I opened my copy of Regarding Cocktails to make the Fallback, and my bookmark was on Spring Forward… 😅
About 45 years ago, one of my best friends, and who's still a friend today, and a Scotch drinker, then and now, was listening to Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues" for the first time, and heard them sing, "Drink Scotch whisky all night long....". He exclaimed, "Scotch isn't whisky!" So, I said, "Sit down, my son...." And I didn't even drink the stuff.
Ahh, just as I sit down to enjoy my hot toddy, I see this - perfect.
This is what the people want.
My preferred method of smoking a whiskey cocktail is to use a half ounce nice smokey Scotch, with an ounce and a half of bourbon, or rye.
Dat lag16
I’ve been thinking that something wrong with me when I’m doing my cocktails. Sometimes it’s a mess, easy spill something, while in the videos it’s always smooth and clean.
After that moments of the bourbon renewal, I’d be less worried 😅
I'd still like to hear your take on a "Fall Back" cocktail! You can call it Anders' Autumn
A Farewell to Arms
Split base bourbon/apply brandy (1 Oz each)
1/2 Oz Benedictine
1/2 Oz PX sherry
2 dashes ango bitters
Stir and strain over fresh ice, lemon pee garnish
