    One thing to keep in mind about early cocktails, particularly from around the prohibition era, is that they were designed to mask the flavor of really poorly made spirits. Many of the drinks of the time were overly sweetened or citrusy because of this. As the quality of spirits that were readily available increased, many cocktails began to be more spirit forward.

    • @alexsis1778
      @alexsis1778 7 місяців тому +4

      Very true. Most alcohol that people could get their hands on was made by someone local and it was done out in the woods in relatively small batches with minimal equipment. There was little quality control and a lot of people with minimal experience.

      Baffled why the classic Rum & Coke wasn't in the lineup. Makes no sense.
      During the Prohibition era from 1922 to 1933, Coca-Cola became a favored mixer for disguising the taste of low-quality rums, as well as other liquors.

    1:00 UNNECESSARY SOAPBOX RANT: As a bartender in the U.S., an "original" Old Fashioned was - sugar cube, bitters, splash of water to dissolve, rye whiskey. Fruit garnish was not introduced until much later as fruit was expensive to import, hard to keep fresh, and wasteful to use as a mere decoration. Any bartender worth their salt would have asked you which type of Old Fashioned you wanted. Today's modern Old Fashioned is typically made with simple syrup, bitters, muddled fruit, ice and bourbon. This is a much sweeter drink that gradually dilutes as the ice melts, and is generally preferred by women.

    An Old Fashioned is probably my favorite whiskey cocktail. Super easy to make the classic version, BUT it's also really easy to subtly mix up the ingredients & make it interesting.
    Use a different whiskey (Scotch, Irish, Japanese, Rye), use weird flavored bitters (Columbian tobacco, black walnut, strawberry rhubarb), use flavored syrups (elderflower, elderberry, maple), & any other unusual change you want. Old Fashioned's are just FUN!!

    • @DJHolte
      @DJHolte 7 місяців тому +14

      @@FullOfMalarky Yeah, I defy anyone to tell the difference in a blind taste test, all other things being equal. The thing that makes the most difference, imo, is how much the ice is melting in shaking vs. stirring -- and thus, the ratio of water to alcohol. (And of course that makes the "all other things being equal" part very difficult to control, since stirring always dilutes the drink less than shaking.)
      Now, that having been said, I think vodka martinis are heresy. Vodka goes with so many things, being for the most part a completely inoffensive liquor. Gin, on the other hand, is not nearly as versatile, and so as I see it, the martini should always be made with gin, which it goes perfectly with.

      @@DJHolte meh, the vodka martini is in itself an artform. Where I would never shake a gin a martini, using vodka out of the freezer and shaking the piss out of it with a proper sift is the key to the vodka martini. This freezes any little bit of water from the ice into the most delicate of flakes suspended in the vodka. I just don't think a vodka martini should be called a martini.

Women couldn't drink in public at the time, so it was made to look like fruit juice, and with a pink color, so it was deemed acceptable for them to drink. It cost 39 Singapore dollars (about $27USD), but it was delicious and refreshing!

    Just a tip when making an old fashioned, it is customary to use a sharp knife to cut the orange rind off the fruit, but I like how you improvised and just chewed it up in chunks instead!

    My go to cocktail is most definitely an Old Fashioned every single time. But, if I'm having a Bloody Mary I prefer it with Whiskey and tomato juice. I'm not much of a fan of Clamato unless I'm enjoying a Michelada with two limes. One of my favorite fun, but super sweet cocktails is the White Gummi Bear either as a shot or a full drink.

    I absolutely love an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan. Thanks to you guys I had my first gin martini olives and all. That drink packs a solid punch. I will say though if I were to go for a savory cocktail I’d go for a Bloody Mary. I do like a vodka martini with a twist or a lemon drop. I am really quite boring when it comes to drinks. I like whiskey on the rocks and white or red wine. Anything sugary is sickening and anything too dirty or too dry is too strong. I drink like an old man idk. Whiskey or wine, even rum like a dark and stormy or something or again just on the rocks and I’m happy.

    The other theory on the "Vesper" Martini was Bond was using his flamboyant description of what is, frankly, a pretty disgusting Martini was he was using it to attract attention to his character and to distract the main villain. It is, technically, an undrinkably strong recipe he invents on the fly.

    • @Lunch_Meat

      The other OTHER theory is that it was code for any of his own men "on the inside" so, for example, he orders that drink and the MI6 spy working the roulette table knows to press the button so that bond can win the game and collect the money he needs for the mission.

    my fav' ............Ultimate Caesar Cocktail
    ½ lime
    ½ teaspoon celery salt
    1 cup Caesar mix, like Clamato (or your favourite Caesar mix)
    2 ounces vodka
    1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
    3 to 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
    3 to 4 dashes hot sauce, or to taste (I like Tabasco here, but you can use your favourite)
    pinch freshly ground black pepper
    ice cubes, enough to top glass
    Garnish Ideas (optional)
    Pickled green beans
    Sliced salami
    Sweet onions
    Pimento stuffed green olives
    Celery rib
    Instructions
    Wet the rim of a tall glass with lime (don't discard the lime because the juice will be used in your cocktail).
    Place celery salt on a small plate. Invert the glass into the celery salt to coat.
    To glass, add Caesar mix, vodka, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime juice (from the lime half) and black pepper. Use a spoon and stir to combine. Top with ice cubes (I like to give everything another little stir).
    On a wooden skewer (big enough to cover a little more than the width of your glass), garnish as desired. Place over top of your glass. Add a celery stick to your cocktail (great for stirring and enjoying). Serve and enjoy!

    I think Ciara would like a Smoky Caesar - a regular Bloody Caesar is as mentioned in the video a Bloody Mary with clamato instead of plain tomato juice, the smoky part is by replacing the normal vodka (or gin) with a very smoky scotch whisky, like an Ardbeg 10. It's my favourite variation that I've had so far.

    The Bloody Mary was invented by a French bartender, working at the New York, in Paris. The best Daiguiris are made on the rocks (no crushed ice), with rum, a little simple syrup, and lime juice. We used to make them in the Anthropology/Archaeology lab, served in beakers. The ethno crowd liked the crushed ice version.

    There is nothing problematic with shaking a martini. Shaking allows them to get colder faster and may dilute it a touch. The only cocktails, to my knowledge, that you actively avoid shaking involve sweet vermouth, which becomes bitter and cloudy when vigorously aerated. So, you can shake a martini, but never shake a manhattan.

    Midwesterner (US) here. The Old Fashioned is the state cocktail of Wisconsin, except they make it with brandy instead of bourbon or rye. Wisconsinites consume the most brandy per capita in the US. And Bláithín is totally right about good Bloody Marys vs. mediocre ones. The former owners of a local bowling alley used to make a killer Bloody Mary, and for a couple of years my brother and I had a Sunday ritual of going out for breakfast with bowling and Bloody Marys afterwards.
