Yes! This is exactly when I started reading the comments. It must have been a call out to Steve. I think Steve has plenty of prompts to smile on set. Not because he’s grumpy - just because he’s so focused.
I really like how you make the short description and history of each cocktail before you make it. I live in Munich and have made many cocktails at my home bar for friends, and I have learned some from you. I appreciate the work you do and give it to us. Thanks.

When I was in Puerto Rico, I had a drink that was essentially a modified vieux carre. Swap the whiskey for a brown rum, simple syrup for the Benedictine, and chocolate bitters for the angostura and peychauds bitters. It was served in a glass with a chocolate covered rim, and an orange twist. I highly recommend it!
I don't drink but I'm looking to start!!😂 Your channel came up and I love how you explain the history of the cocktail. Just subscribed today. I wish well.
Louche is a word that is used to describe something that isn't clear. Basically it's the word shady in english and it also can be used to describe someone with the same meaning as shady. It also mean a big spoon for liquids used in the kitchen...
I want an Educated Barfly shirt with a the backside of a hand about to come down on another hand holding a sprig of mint with a fanciful font that says "The Ol' Slappy Poo!"
I love me a jungle bird, before i had that I never liked campari, but the jungle bird was perfect to introduce me to campari and now i love almost all cocktails that use it.
I do the mojito with soda, but I drink it on the rocks instead of crushed ice. I like shaking it with the mint in the shaker, so you get all the oils from the mint. Double strain in a longdrink glas with ice cubes, top with soda add 1-2 nice limewheels in the glas and a big mint bouquet (sorry my French is horrible, I hated it in school). The drink will look really green and taste minty, tard, but balanced and you will get the Cuban rum, the soda makes it really fresh. 2oz rum, 1oz lime (you can put the pressed lime in the shaker to get the oils in, but you do not need to), 22.5ml up to 1oz simple syrup, 8 mint leaves
1:34.... What you said is exactly why I always crush my lemons and limes with the syrup First, then I add Mint on top of it so the mint can be better infused with all the oils and I can open up the leaves of the mint better through Muddling. This method I used always gets good Feed back.
11:32 You are correct, the original cocktail did not include soda, but as you said the original was not called a Mojito. Mojito became popular in the mid 20th century and there was soda around by that time. Anyway, things evolve over time ofc, and also there are a million variations of each drink out there, but I still like my Mojito with soda. Nice video!
I'm new at this and the favorite one I've made so far is 8 mint leaves 4 shakes of fee black walnut bitters .75 oz lime juice .75 oz peppermint ginger syrup (add a tea bag when you make simple syrup) you could probably just use simple syrup .75 oz plume and petal cucumber vodka 2 oz roku gin Shake and pour over ice Garnish with orange peel and mint I could probably simplify it using cucumber gin but let me know what you think
i just made a slightly modified version of that strawberry fix and it was so good! probably top ten but I always rate cocktails I have tried recently higher than ones I tried a little bit ago
OMG!!! You crack me up!!! You tasted everything you made I think. Lol!!! "The Haappy Barfly"!!! 🤣👍🏽😜😁 And. I loved all your info. Thank you and yes I liked and subscribed. ❤️
Probaby the best channel on cocktails around. Was wondering if you could do a 5 best gin or 10 easy prohibition/long forgotten cocktails that are vegan? Keep up the great work!
Thanks for another great video! Made the Pink Lady tonight and loved it. Would like to see some fruit whiskey smashes for the spring - maybe a whiskey peach smash.
So great full for the work you and Marius put into this show. It is a great show for lesser experienced bartenders but also for more advanced bartenders. I have been having some trouble with the jungle bird for a while as I feel like the pineapple overpowers the other flavours in the drink too much. How do you make sure that this does not happen? I just bought a goslings black seal rum for dark n stormy, that might be a shout in the jungle bird right?
I love cocktail history, so I have to point out that the recipe for the Vieux Carré was actually first published in 1937 in “Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘Em” by Stanley Clisby Arthur. He did credit to Bergeron for creating it, but that obviously had to have happened in the early 1930s.
In the first drink when you muddled that drink in the shaker you didn't get to break up the leaves with the muddler because you had all the lemons on top of the mint leaves. Always crush your limes and lemons first to get the zest in the cocktail, then add the mint leaves on top to better crush it with all the oils while opening up the mint flavor in the leaves. Just a tip brother.
No Cuba Libre ? Thats the one I make the most, just recently got into "home bartending". My favorite drink being the rum and coke, I figured I would do it well.
Love this thanks. My partner and I are heading to NYC at the end of the month. Looking for cocktail bar recommendations. I will be hitting the Dead Rabbit for sure but was wondering if there were some hidden gems in Manhattan?
I think the Cosmopolitan is an extremely under appreciated cocktail, caused by Sex and the City; I just made it for the first time with my last 1,5oz of fresh raspberry syrup and it’s a really gin forward and nicely balanced cocktail!
Jim Fererro I’ll give it a day or two then add time stamps youtube won’t allow me enough characters in the description box to publish all the recipes below the video
Summer isn’t around yet, and I know full well that it isn’t a cocktail, but if you had any recipes or tips for making a really good sangria I think that would make for an awesome video.
So we're going to do easy cocktails with stuff everyone has lying around at home! Now reach out for a bottle of 1542 rum, rescued from a Spanish Galleon...
@@TheEducatedBarfly It's kind of implied that "easy at home" also means its ingredients are easy to obtain or likely to be already at disposal. But yes they are easy otherwise, true.
Is there a way you could include the “index card” that you usually do which includes the name of the drink and ingredients after the videos? Just hard to follow along live. Great video though, thanks!
The only (minor) thing I don't like in this video is that you're smacking the boston shaker so it opens. I find it a bit non-elegant, and I'm pretty sure that anyone can open the shaker easily without using force. Nevermind, thank you for all the knowledge about the cocktails and for inspirations - I definitely have to try the 1934 Cosmo as a huge Cosmopolitan's fan!
Love the channel just subscribed, especially after the “how to make clear ice” video. Also where do you get pebble ice? Stupid question I’m sure but here we are 🤷🏻♂️😂
We make our own, with the Opal Nugget Machine amzn.to/2XfQG2c It's a little pricey, but it's awesome. You can buy pebble ice from Sonic, and we've heard you can from Chick-fil-A, but we have not tried.
You, Steve the bartender & cocktail chrmistry, along with Bruce from (bar talk & cocktails) need to collaborate the four horseman of cocktail making. Make it happen
i made a bunch of tiki drinks and the jungle bird i could not get behind. that campari was just too bitter. May try another campari drink to see what i think.
I'd be super interested to see you do a drink featuring Eau Claire Parlour Gin, it's got a wonderful botanical profile that's unlike anything I've ever had, and I happen to live (sort of) near the distillery. Local pride aside it's a fantastic gin and I'm sure you could have fun with it!
Great video! Guys I would have a question. What do yo do with the used stirring ice? I mean I could just throw it away, but when I'm having a party I need to fill my small freezes literally to the top with ice. So my idea is I just "wash" the used ice with cold water to melt the flavors from the outer layer. What's your opinion? Completely stupid, or can work? Thanks
@@TheEducatedBarfly Sure. I was just asking your opinion if a change in glassware would help the soda (if someone prefers the recipes with soda) mix and not get trapped at the top of the pebble ice like you mentioned in the video
haha loved that smile while shaking! Felt like I´m at Steves Channel!
Yes! This is exactly when I started reading the comments. It must have been a call out to Steve. I think Steve has plenty of prompts to smile on set. Not because he’s grumpy - just because he’s so focused.
2:04 there is that smile, oh my! Beautiful one, Ste... Leandro!
Lol, I thought the same thing
Probably gotten it from steve

When I was in Puerto Rico, I had a drink that was essentially a modified vieux carre. Swap the whiskey for a brown rum, simple syrup for the Benedictine, and chocolate bitters for the angostura and peychauds bitters. It was served in a glass with a chocolate covered rim, and an orange twist. I highly recommend it!
Haha That sounds good but when you swap every ingredient for another that's not just modified. It's completely different. Cheers.
I don't drink but I'm looking to start!!😂 Your channel came up and I love how you explain the history of the cocktail. Just subscribed today. I wish well.

Another great rum for the Jungle Bird is Cruzan Black Strap. The molasses flavor goes really well with the Campari and the pineapple. Try it sometime!
Yessir! Already did a video on it :)
Dude, who drinks all these cocktails? I would like to volunteer myself.
I'm binge watching all of these.
I want an Educated Barfly shirt with a the backside of a hand about to come down on another hand holding a sprig of mint with a fanciful font that says "The Ol' Slappy Poo!"
Don't forget "ye ol' crushy pants".
Thanks so much for these easy-to-make videos. I have made a small bar at home and enjoy learning with your videos. Lots of respect and love to you.
Between this channel, Lui Fernandes and Anders Erickson’s channels, I am in heaven every weekend making fun, new drinks for me and my friends!!
awesome. That's why we do this!
Glad to know that I’m not the only one packing as much ice on top of a finished cocktail as possible before serving.
Just subscribed 2 minutes ago, watching volume 1, and here we are.
Thanks

2:03 Leandro taking a page from Steve the Bartender hahaha
My Pink Lady recipe is 1-1/2 gin, 1/2 grenadine and an egg white. Might have to experiment with lemon and apple jack.
Finally got myself some straws from Surf Side Sips! Absolutely in love with them
Anthony Anderlionis I’m glad you like them! Cheers!

In Cuba they tend to add Angostura bitters to the Mojito as well. At least they did, when I was there..

gotta have to try some new cachaça drinks, I have a few artisanal cachaças at home to have fun.
I'm new at this and the favorite one I've made so far is
8 mint leaves
4 shakes of fee black walnut bitters
.75 oz lime juice
.75 oz peppermint ginger syrup (add a tea bag when you make simple syrup) you could probably just use simple syrup
.75 oz plume and petal cucumber vodka
2 oz roku gin
Shake and pour over ice
Garnish with orange peel and mint
I could probably simplify it using cucumber gin but let me know what you think
That is an awesome cocktail for anyone, never mind being new to this! Keep it up!
It's very important program. I like it very much.
Wow! The Humble Brag is the first 2:1 martini I really enjoyed. Great drink! Well done!
i just made a slightly modified version of that strawberry fix and it was so good! probably top ten but I always rate cocktails I have tried recently higher than ones I tried a little bit ago
Well what’s the modification
Amazing video. Can't tell you how many times I have watched this.
Love these compilation videos when you make them, plus the channel in general has a great mix of updates. Bravo sirs!
watch out there Leandro, your Bostonian is shining through there with the JaegaMeista
I love the copper tool set

And. I loved all your info. Thank you and yes I liked and subscribed. ❤️
thanks for watching :)
i always like your little history lessons
NICE, and I am so looking forward to trying your Humblebrag just as soon as I get some grapefruit bitters... thank you.
Before I even saw this video I’ve been using grapefruit bitters in my Martinis and I love it. Humblebrag FTW!

Another fantastic video. Thank you Leo and Marius!
I love all of your video and make me more like stay home during pandemic and enjoy homemade coctails. thanks and cheers 😘😘💐
Oh man, just made the Rio Grande Sour tonight for the first time and absolutely loved it!
thx for all this beautiful video
Thanks for another great video! Made the Pink Lady tonight and loved it. Would like to see some fruit whiskey smashes for the spring - maybe a whiskey peach smash.
parabéns ...fantásticos todos os drinks !!!!!!
Isn’t it amazing how important that ice is?
So great full for the work you and Marius put into this show. It is a great show for lesser experienced bartenders but also for more advanced bartenders.
I have been having some trouble with the jungle bird for a while as I feel like the pineapple overpowers the other flavours in the drink too much. How do you make sure that this does not happen? I just bought a goslings black seal rum for dark n stormy, that might be a shout in the jungle bird right?
Love these videos. Thank for the education!
Hey, has Marius ever told you about the Norwegian method of selling alcohol, Vinmonopolet? Just curious, as a fellow Norwegian.
Nope. Sounds like he should though
I've told you this several times Leandro...
Would be interesting to see your opinion on this
I love cocktail history, so I have to point out that the recipe for the Vieux Carré was actually first published in 1937 in “Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘Em” by Stanley Clisby Arthur. He did credit to Bergeron for creating it, but that obviously had to have happened in the early 1930s.
Very nice line up. 😋 btw the Rio grande sour in the show notes show lemon 🍋 wedge. I swear it was orange 🍊
Correct, that was a test. You passed!
The Educated Barfly i am always surprised how well I do for tests I never study for. 😉
How do you make the raspberry syrup? I think my wife would like the Cosmo? Thanks for some great drinks
The magic of editing, you always get a perfect wash line
Nope, all these were done in one takes, no redo's on the wash line. Promise :) We just cut the video or it would as long as The Irishman.
@@TheEducatedBarfly haha I'm just teasing, great video!
I finally tried the pink lady, and it's my new favorite drink! I love this channel ^^
Wow, great video!
Tried the Pink Lady tonight and it was fantastic
On that last one, a small sprinkling of black pepper on the muddled strawberries would make it taste more strawberry-ish. Sounds weird, but it works!
In the first drink when you muddled that drink in the shaker you didn't get to break up the leaves with the muddler because you had all the lemons on top of the mint leaves. Always crush your limes and lemons first to get the zest in the cocktail, then add the mint leaves on top to better crush it with all the oils while opening up the mint flavor in the leaves. Just a tip brother.
Like he says at 1:15 he does that on purpose because he doesn't want to break up the mint and extract the more vegetal flavor.
No Cuba Libre ? Thats the one I make the most, just recently got into "home bartending". My favorite drink being the rum and coke, I figured I would do it well.
Love this thanks. My partner and I are heading to NYC at the end of the month. Looking for cocktail bar recommendations. I will be hitting the Dead Rabbit for sure but was wondering if there were some hidden gems in Manhattan?
Should probably ask Greg on How to Drink, he's from New York metropolitan New Jersey.
Great bartender and recipes that are really good
I think the Cosmopolitan is an extremely under appreciated cocktail, caused by Sex and the City; I just made it for the first time with my last 1,5oz of fresh raspberry syrup and it’s a really gin forward and nicely balanced cocktail!
Might be a bit late to this party but the Hemingway cocktail is the most Hemingwayest you could get… adding lots of alcohol to alcohol 😀😀
i see a guy make drinks, i like simple as that🍹
Over kill with the ice
The parts of the video where you taste the cocktails are like **mm** !
Excellent! This is one to save to watch a few more times. Have you guys ever thought of adding a printable recipe?
Yeah but I also think it’ll work against our views maybe. What do you think?
The Educated Barfly ok good point
The real tutelage though comes from viewing your videos. The recipe is merely a reference
Jim Fererro I’ll give it a day or two then add time stamps youtube won’t allow me enough characters in the description box to publish all the recipes below the video
That whip shake. Too funny.
aww, i want the pink lady one ! :)
Killed it with the orange on the Vieux Carre! The traditional lemon does not compare to this one.
My friends would never forgive me if I gave them absinthe and champagne 😂
Summer isn’t around yet, and I know full well that it isn’t a cocktail, but if you had any recipes or tips for making a really good sangria I think that would make for an awesome video.
we'll do a sangria this year
so informative for an aspiring mixologist, i suggest you try out the alcohol mist by vapshot
try the mojito with a little bit of VERY carbonated water and you will never have one without it again-- at least i wouldnt!
Great drinks, fantastic video, thank you. How to you make a fresh raspberry syrup?
So we're going to do easy cocktails with stuff everyone has lying around at home! Now reach out for a bottle of 1542 rum, rescued from a Spanish Galleon...

@@TheEducatedBarfly It's kind of implied that "easy at home" also means its ingredients are easy to obtain or likely to be already at disposal. But yes they are easy otherwise, true.
@@MrtinVarela I interpreted "easy" as something that is easy to do. Besides you can substitute ingredients if you want.
@@TheWarClouddV2 So did him, but doesn't mean it's ideal wording, but in any case we're starting to split hairs.

.5 ounce lime juice
.5 ounce simple syrup
1.5 ounces pineapple juice
.75 ounces Campari

im missing at least 1 ingredient for every one of these. the last one is strawberries.

Wouldn't it be peel side up as in the peel is facing you, not the bottom of the cup? Or are you putting the peel facing the bottom of the cup?
"I precut my ice", into normal ice cubes.
Hey man thanks for all your videos
I’m from Colombia y we drink Aguardiente me not so much now.
Where can I send you a bottle for you to try?
i made a bunch of tiki drinks and the jungle bird i could not get behind. that campari was just too bitter. May try another campari drink to see what i think.
Thank you for this, I can't drink these but I can make these for my parents.
Why you can't drink???

Maybe different glassware with a wider mouth might help with the top of soda in the mojito?
No soda in Mojitos!
The Educated Barfly surely a dash of soda is more traditional than shaking it ?
Ethan nope
The Educated Barfly very interesting, thanks for the knowledge
@@TheEducatedBarfly Sure. I was just asking your opinion if a change in glassware would help the soda (if someone prefers the recipes with soda) mix and not get trapped at the top of the pebble ice like you mentioned in the video
