Can we get a one-liquor cocktail special? Like your personal favorite cocktail from each of the most popular liquors (rum, gin, vodka, tequila, bourbon, any other whiskeys, etc.)? Been watching for a long time and can’t remember a video that covered this-though I have watched all the “3x cocktail” videos which were great.
@@StevetheBartender_ I’m not gonna lie, I’ll be a little upset when your channel blows up to the point where you can’t always reply to our comments :’( BTW: your channel was my inspiration to start mixing. I don’t know why UA-cam recommended you before sone of the other great Bartending UA-camrs, but I sure as hell am thankful that’s how it played out.
Can’t say how much I enjoyed this vid, the mellow music, the unagitated and unpretentious nature everything is presented in and the selection of recipes really makes me feel like weekend mornings. Gonna go get some of this Italicus tomorrow and make every recipe.
At my work we do a cocktail called ‘gin twinkle’ it’s 1 shot Bombay sapphire, dash of elderflower cordial and the rest is Prosecco, it’s a real favourite!
Steve!! I love all of these delicious-sounding brunch cocktails, but if I had to pick one, I'd immediately go for the Grapefruit Garibaldi!! The addition of the Italicus sounds like such a balancing flavour. I have been using Italicus more lately, in some cocktails, and it is wonderful! So refreshing! It is perfect with gin cocktails. This one will be my first must make. #3 is also an immediate must make! I so enjoy the first cocktail made too! the Italicus Spritz is extremely refreshing and tastes lovely. Number 3 really grabs me! Can't wait to try 2 and 3. I have made #1 many times but I want to try the others soon!! Terrific video Steve!! Thanks so much!
STEVE!!!! Excellent video!!!! These cocktails looks great!!! I need to try the Kings Breakfast. Cocktails with jam intrigue me for some reason. CHEERS!!!!
Amazing cocktails! I've been meaning to pick up some of this stuff for the longest time, I love bergamot! Also side note, Steve you're either tall as fuck or that's a kitchen for penguins!
The King's Breakfast sounds like it'd be great with some Greek Yogurt in there, maybe low over crushed ice with some black pepper as garnish. I think there's a similar cocktail to that called a Slippery When Wet.
@@StevetheBartender_ The best one I made was called a Snake in the Grass from Pouring Ribbons. The ratios are a little hard to find but they had a demo video online somewhere that I kinda eyeballed.
From your description of the Italicus it sounds like something I might not like, I don't care for drinks/wine with floral flavors. personal preference I'm sure many would like it. The drinks looked great though!! Cheers
Just made a Kings Breakfast. Really delicious. The citrus is really strong in it, I may want to add a little simple syrup to balance it out. But just a little bit has to be careful not make it too sweet. I'm thinking 10 ml. Will try that next time.
Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) looks like a round lemon, what you describe is a Makrut Lime also known as kaffir or Thai lime ( Citrus Hystrix). It is often confused as the name of C. Hystrix translates into bergamot in thai.
@@StevetheBartender_ That sounds amazing ill have to get myself a bottle.. you can get yuzu juice at chinese/japanese grocery stores but its expensive here in australia. If you get it try Winter margarita 60ml tequila 30ml yuzu juice 22.5 ml simple syrup 15ml egg white Pinch salt
Which cocktail would you choose??
Definitely the King’s Breakfast, looks amazing!
The Kings Breakfast looks too good!!!!
King me
The Garabaldi looks awesome.
Hot weather? I’d probably go for the Spritz cooler weather and I think the Kink’s Breakfast

Those are some beautiful cocktails
Why thank you Sarah :)

The Kings Breakfast looks like what I would go for. Thank you Steve.
I'm not sure which I prefered - the King's Breakfast or the Grapefruit Garibaldi.... 🤔
Grazie Steve! we loved all of them! Salute!
Yes! I have been waiting for an Italicus series of cocktails!
What is your go to cocktail with Italicus?
@@StevetheBartender_ I usually do the spritz, but very excited to try the grapefruit Garibaldi!
Italicus is soo wonderful, it almost magically changes everything in delicious goodness!!
Oh man, I absolutely love Italicus and have been looking for some new recipes. The all look great and I can make them all! Nice one Steve!
Hope you enjoy - what else have you been making with it?
@@StevetheBartender_ Honestly not much bar the recipes on Difford's Guide run hot an cold, mostly cold.. Your ones here look way more enticing
Yeah, I’m sometimes a little cautious if Difford’s website recipes!
Tried the King’s Breakfast today - wow what a winner, I loved it! Thanks Steve. ❤️
love the bottles of Licor 43 and Yellow Rose Whiskey in the background bud!!
Woah I was just looking for things to make with my Italicus!
Timing! What other recipes did you come across?
@@StevetheBartender_ there’s one called Godzilla that uses cinnamon syrup, lillet rosé, apple brandy and champagne!
At my work we do a cocktail called ‘gin twinkle’ it’s 1 shot Bombay sapphire, dash of elderflower cordial and the rest is Prosecco, it’s a real favourite!
Definitely need to get a bottle of the italicus!! These all look great, but the Grapefruit one really caught my eye. Cheers!!
So simple but it tastes epic... and the blender makes it nice and fluffy!
Me too!
thanks for the italicus cocktails! been waiting for this one :D
Do you have a bottle on hand? What else have you been making with it?
Steve either you're really big or your kitchen is really small ? Haha sorry brother I couldn't help it. Keep up the good work.! 😁
Haha, I'm really big.
@@StevetheBartender_ you're the best mate! Oh also can I ask you how is the new studio and Kat cam coming along ?
Roughly 2 weeks for the née studio.. I can’t wait!
Easily my favorite liqueur. Thanks for the cocktails Steve!
Most welcome! Let me know which one is your favourite if you do a comparison..
Great ! All were fantastic, thank you

Watching a giant bearded man drink fluffy pink drinks has to be one of my favorite pass times.
STEVE!!!! Excellent video!!!! These cocktails looks great!!! I need to try the Kings Breakfast. Cocktails with jam intrigue me for some reason. CHEERS!!!!
Thanks Tim!! Let me know if you give it a shot.. jam in cocktails is underrated for sure!
I have tasted Italicus just one month ago and it's already one of my favorite alcohol ! So good :)
It's tasty stuff hey!
That King's Breakfast definitely looks and sounds well worth having a crack at. Thanks!
Let me know if you try it :-)
Beautiful line of colour 😍
love the content as always Steve! youve made me want to pursue mixology :)
amazing! gonna test them all :D I love Italicus
Report back and let me know which one is your favourite! You can even go equal parts for the spritz..
@@StevetheBartender_ I've tried 1:1 for Spritz, but I think that 2:1 is actually better! :) I'm pretty excited for that grapefruit cocktail
Great video. Aside from the use of Italicus, I love seeing the PDT book on your counter. I love that place and its cocktails.
Oh this is exactly what I needed today. Thank you!
Kings breakfast looked brilliant
Ahh been thinking a lot about brunch lately and needed ideas !! Meant to watch and use Video - great work as always man
Happy to help!
salt & grapefruit is my favorite!! Thank you, I will be trying this.
Amazing cocktails! I've been meaning to pick up some of this stuff for the longest time, I love bergamot! Also side note, Steve you're either tall as fuck or that's a kitchen for penguins!
Hahaha, standard size kitchen but I'm tall as f**k! Let me know if you try any of these.. :)
Great idea to do some meal drinks!
I'll have to do all the meals :)
Kings breakfast sounds soooo good!
It's pretty tasty :)
That kitchen looks so small 😄
italicus is soooo good !
Haha, it’s not the kitchen - it’s me 😂
Been looking for Italicus but have yet to find it locally. This makes me want it more.
Lol, must. find. Italicus.
@@StevetheBartender_ and I did 🎉
Kings breakfast sounds great!! Can't wait to try it.
It's so good! Light and delicate flavours but perfect for early morning bevvies! ;)
I'm only saying this because I care. Please get higher counter tops, treat yourself king.
Haha, just wait a couple more weeks.... my kitchen is standard size (900mm high benches).... the new studio bar is 1200mm high! 🤩
Have never heard of Italicus, but I will be looking for it soon. We're definitely living in the Golden Age of Booze!
Sooooo many great products available these days!
Now for the kicker, finding Italicus - Canadians
I don't think it's available there :'(
Always like an English Garden for a brunch as well
OMGoodness! Where can I find the Nick & Nora glasses! I am a huge Thin Man fan! 👍😎
Check out Amehla Co, they currently have 20% off: bit.ly/amehla-barware - both plain and honeycomb Nick & Nora glasses available!
@@StevetheBartender_ Thank you so very much! 🍸🍹🍷
I'd love more ideas for the Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto. It's so lush!
Tough choice! I would choose the Garabaldi
That Garibaldi really reminds me of a Greyhound/ Salty Dog
just swap the italicus for some gin
Yup! Blending the drink makes a huge difference though... it adds a nice fluffy texture!
I like the videos. I would like to see you make a video on “the best drinks for 22 year olds” I’ll be 22 years old in three weeks.
I don't even know what Italicus tastes like but I just bought it.
Hope you love it! Let me know :)
Steve, you need to do the smile while you are blitzing the Grapefruit Garibaldi with the milkshake mixer
The King's Breakfast sounds like it'd be great with some Greek Yogurt in there, maybe low over crushed ice with some black pepper as garnish. I think there's a similar cocktail to that called a Slippery When Wet.
I've only ever had yoghurt in Jim Meehan's Cocktail Culture... it was okay.. but yeah, the King's Breakfast with Greek Yoghurt could work well!
@@StevetheBartender_ The best one I made was called a Snake in the Grass from Pouring Ribbons. The ratios are a little hard to find but they had a demo video online somewhere that I kinda eyeballed.
I wish I could get Italicus here where I live!
What country are you from?
@@StevetheBartender_ I'm in Manitoba, Canada. But there's a lot of other liqueurs I can't get either.
@@ThomasS17 coming 2022!
From your description of the Italicus it sounds like something I might not like, I don't care for drinks/wine with floral flavors. personal preference I'm sure many would like it. The drinks looked great though!! Cheers
Amazing video as usual. I just bought a bottle of Italicus. Can I ask where you bought your Nick and Nora glasses?
I bought these in Australia but if you’re in the US, they’re currently 20% off here: bit.ly/amehla-co
@@StevetheBartender_ Thanks for the info!
Just made a Kings Breakfast. Really delicious. The citrus is really strong in it, I may want to add a little simple syrup to balance it out. But just a little bit has to be careful not make it too sweet. I'm thinking 10 ml.
Will try that next time.
Did you add a heaps spoon of jam or just a level teaspoon? Enough jam will balance it :)
@@StevetheBartender_ I did a full spoon with top on it.
Will the cocktail be added to the app?
Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) looks like a round lemon, what you describe is a Makrut Lime also known as kaffir or Thai lime ( Citrus Hystrix). It is often confused as the name of C. Hystrix translates into bergamot in thai.
Yeah someone has mentioned that... damn internet lies!
Is that kitchen small or are you TALL? Lol. Great video.
I'm really tall :-)
Yesssssssssss! I'm number 5!!!!
You're quick! ;)
@@StevetheBartender_ I still can't get that number 1 spot!!! I'm competing with millions of people!!!
Another great video. Have you ever tried making cocktails with yuzu? Its another citrus and i find it changes a drink significantly from lemon or lime
I'm yet to use yuzu... but in saying that, I do have a bottle of yuzu sweet vermouth!
@@StevetheBartender_ That sounds amazing ill have to get myself a bottle.. you can get yuzu juice at chinese/japanese grocery stores but its expensive here in australia.
If you get it try
Winter margarita
60ml tequila
30ml yuzu juice
22.5 ml simple syrup
15ml egg white
Pinch salt
Oh cool, you’re in Aus… the yuzu vermouth is by Unico Zelo / Applewood.. 👌
@@StevetheBartender_ Cool.. my local bottleshop has some ill pick up some and wait for your review..the opal miner cocktail sounds delicious
I think citadelle gin would match perfect in the Kings Breakfast.
Kings breakfast or the grapefruit one.
Instead of a milkshake blender... could you use a milk frother?
Yeah, I’m sure that would work almost as well 👌
Would love to try this but $80 a bottle is a bit expensive.
It is a little pricey considering the low ABV... but it's tasty!
I wonder where the whole olive in cocktail thing came from.
Italicus isn’t available anywhere where I live. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative / substitute?
Thanks!
where do you live?
Choose?
Is the app available for IOS yet?
Very, very close..
...it will be announced on the channel once available.

Can’t go wrong with a good Bloody Mary! Not really a gin drink though 😬😂
