Whiskey Peach Smash A Summer Staple If There Ever Was One!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- I really haven't covered that many Dale Degroff cocktails on this channel and really it's scandalous. I should do more of them. Thing is, that although I don't share very much by way of cocktail aesthetics with Mr. DeGroff, he is without a doubt the father of the cocktail renaissance. Maybe not single handedly but it's no mistake that many of the young bartenders finding their way in the 90's and early aughts seeked out, took inspiration from or were directly mentored by Mr. DeGroff. He was the smart smart guy that figured out that maybe he should take a page from bartenders of the past and serve his drinks with fresh ingredients, shirking the overly produced, overly sweet mixers of the time. I'm lookin' at you Rose's!
The Whiskey Peach Smash was created by DeGroff in the late 1980's and is a cousin of the Mint Julep, so this drink is refreshing but it is not sweet, it's actually pretty dry. The only sweetness you're getting is from the peach so make sure you use a ripe one. That said if you wanted to add a teaspoon of simple syrup to give it a little sweetness, I don't think anyone would think any less of you. Hope you enjoy this drink which will delight you from the beginning of summer through the end!

Dale Degroff's ideas about fresh ingredients are so fundamental today. You do these ideals justice very time. Love it.
You almost didn't forget something! So close!
I'm going to go through a fair few of these over summer. Looks delicious
Great drink! Made it tonight. Very refreshing
This should be the official drink everywhere peach trees grow!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the drink sir.👍🏼👍🏼
Looks amazing. I've been making Peach Old Fashioned recently, so will give this one a go too.
Definitely making one of these tonight! Looks DELICIOUS!!!
Can't wait to try this one. Your last Peach Cocktail was great.
I just made this one at home. Amazing taste and this time I cannot shut my mouht anylonger. I never made cocktails before I found this channel and now I'm getting pretty good. Thanks for this video and all the others.
Thanks for the support!!!
Peach and Whiskey are a match made in heaven!
Drinking one right now. Delicious even the bitterness from the lemon suits me fine. Cheers
Must be amazing with really ripe peaches. Thanks!
Love the Rose's bash lol. I remember having real grenadine for the first time it was a game changer
Wow, this is absolutely delicious!
Would just like to say that you got a great thing going on, love the videos.
Peaches are starting to come in locally so I will have to give this a try.
The ghosts of previous bottles appeared during shaking :D
whoa
it happens :( somehow didn't catch that one.
@@TheEducatedBarfly It actually doesn't matter, it's a great video nontheless! thanks. I think most of us fans like those mistakes a lot, it's like the perfect amount of imperfection :)
Excluding the fact that this cocktail looks absolutely fantastic, there is something SO aesthetically pleasing about the black tins and gold strainer combo you've used today :)
Thanks for adding the "If you like a sweeter cocktail..." I like a dry cocktail but my wife and some guests like a sweeter cocktail. I've been accused of serving gasoline when they try to chug a cocktail that's really meant to be sipped :)
I have all of the components of this cocktail. Nice, it is time for a Summer sipping.
Man I love the drinks and I love the way you shoot the videos. I can’t handle all the rambling on and on. Make the damn drink already.
Sorry. Ramblings part of the show....:)
Looks great! I made something so close to this last week but I had 1/2oz peach liqueur and mine came out a bit too sweet. I’m going to try this one out this week!
Whiskey cocktails and Lemmy? You guys are my type of people!
Great job. I was thinking along similar lines.
It's freezing here in Australia but I made one anyway.delicious
Bartender guy needs to stop interrupting Marius so much
LOL
Agreed. It was hurting me!
hahaha!
Such a good comment. Lol
Yes, his interrupting was very irritating and it took away from the video
Love this one as you can change the peach for another stone fruit (plums, nectarine, apricot etc) for a great cocktail. 😋
I made this same drink with Grand Marnier & it was amazing!
Been having this over a big rock of clear ice instead of pebbled/crushed ice and it always hits the spot on hot days. Was subbing in Triple Sec for Curacao and it was still fantastic, much prefer it with the curacao though.
I was really hoping for some slappypants with that mint. Oh well. There’s always next time 👍
UPDATE: I typed my comment prematurely. The slappypoo will suffice.
Good job
Auugh this sounds so good!! Love me some peaches 🍑🍑
Seems delicious. I'm doing it this very hot week of summer! (How about more peach , les lemon to make it more peachy?
Do you think it would be beneficial to weigh out the fresh ingredients (lemon wedges, peach slices) for these types of cocktails?
Delicious cocktail!! Just downed my second one in less than an hour. Only thing is when I made mine it was almost syrupy coming out of the shaker. It was a little difficult to double strain. Think it comes from too much muddling? Fantastic drink though!
How much lemon juice would you estimate for 4 lemon wedges? It gets a little crowded in the glass when I want to make it a double. Then is was more lemony than you probably would want. Thanks you are the best bar channel.
Amazing bro! I’m a beginner and I have a channel UA-cam to make cocktails and I will make that differently! Cheers man 🍻
You have magical bottles appearing with text! lol jk, I'm a video editor so I've been there done that!
The mackinaws came in this week so i made this drink. It was like a circus in my mouth.
#slappypoo #crushypants sounds like the stars of a new UA-cam channel
Would a green curacao be a suitable substitute along with lime wedges to make it a "Whiskey Peach HULK Smash" as an answer to the previous Thanos themed cocktail from before?
Winter hasn't really arrived here yet. Things are looking pretty grim at the North Island ski fields :-(.
I happened to have a perfectly ripe peach and made this just now. Surprised by how much more mint than peach. very nice, used WT101 and Cointreau.
and then I had lemon-peach ice, perfect to pour some WT101 to freshen the drink. don't want to waste the crushed ice I made
Drunk peaches are best peaches
I am so glad that you give us great information as well as tasty cocktails. Some UA-cam cocktail celebrities have now resorted to Ads and Social Justice Warrior rants. Keep up the good work and conversational style.
Salud🍻 from México
nice video keep it up dude
I totally thought you said David Lee Roth 😂
Wow on rewatching all I could focus on was how close your hand looked to that knife so many times. It was sticking up, just waiting to slice.
Yummy! This looks so good! What do you think the best mint for cocktails is? I have both spearmint and mojito mint growing in the backyard
I think Spearmint is best
Millions of peaches. Peaches for me. 🍑🍑
Movin' to the country, Gonna eat a lot of peaches
Would subbing Italicus for the curaçao work?
suscribed for the #crushy pants . lol
Can you use cointreau if you do not have dry curacau?
Yes you can but you May need to add a little simple syrup for balance maybe like a teaspoon or so
So the curacao you used here is $47 at BevMo. They sell a DeKuyper Curacao for $16. Am I really going to notice a difference between the two? Let me know. Thanks!
It is the NY Rainbow room.
Yes. Yes it is :)
Little FYI-Lemmy owned a cheap apartment on sunset strip, he would never give it up because of its close proximity to the Rainbow. In his final days, the owner of the Rainbow took his favorite poker machine and set it up in his bedroom, he was an icon there.
Love that! Thanks for the story addition. I was obsessed with Motörhead when I was a teenager
I've been subbing Curaçao with Cointreau for a while but I really need to get my hands on a bottle now
You and me both. All I can find locally is the blue stuff, and I don't want all my drinks to be blue.
Grizz Axxemann Same here: nothing but blue. Can’t seem to get curaçao in BC, Canada.
According to Leandro the more appropriate sub is Grand Marnier, though I've found I have to reduce any sweetener when using it.
@@alexiladeroute2182 huh, I missed that. I live in France so I guess Grand Marnier she be easier to find? I never know what to expect with liquors
Would Gran Marnier be an okay substitute, or would cointreau be better?
Grand Marnier is much closer to curaçao so yeah it’s a better sub for sure
Think ill try this....Also, have an ice breaking bag now...
All I have to find now is a jigger and a proper spoon
Bayfly mixology supply literally sponcers this channel. You can get all the gear and support the show.
@@angelwhispers2060 Shipping is too costly to where I am(if it ships at all)...It doesnt, I checked it. Gotta find it locally I guess...
@@cactusmann5542 Normally amazon.com ships it worldwide at decent shipping rates, you could also try cocktail kingdom if barfly by mercer is not an option.
Can Curacao be switched out with Cointreau interchangeably?
Yes and no. Yes you can do it no they’re not the same. Cointreau is much drier
Peaches aren't quite in season yet. But I have some canned ones that I have been wanting to do something with besides just eat them out of said can.
And I swear I heard the Presidents song in my head playing while watching this video
Peaches come from a can, They were put there by a man, In a factory downtown
@@TheEducatedBarfly If I had my little way, I'd eat peaches every day, sun soaking bulges in the shade...
That looks amazing and very healthy as well. Maybe I can use it as a vitamins intake alternative.
Don't strain it - even healthier since we are taking fibers as well.
😂
What is the difference between bonded bourban and normal bourbon? I see Old Grand-Dad is 100 proof, is there any other difference?
Could I use normal bourbon for this?
It has to be 100 proof, 4 years old, from one growing season and from a single distillery aaaand is aged under government supervision
@@TheEducatedBarfly I see. Would a regular bourbon be a good subsitute? I am just starting my cocktail journey so I don't want to spend too much on too many different bottles yet :)
Supob🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anyone else see the knife resting on the cutting board REALLY close to his talking hand? All I could see was a trip to the ER.
Is it important that it be *bonded* bourbon, or is a 100 proof bourbon okay?
100 proof is great. Bonded is better but not required :)
This was very good. A little dry for a summer smash IMO. If I add simple to this, does that make another cocktail?
Nah if you want to add a little simple that’s your prerogative
Thanks for the quick response sir. A half ounce of simple made this perfect for my bbq this weekend.
What are your thoughts on subbing bourbon with applejack?
Do it
😃 (Steve the bartender smile)
I don’t see the link for the ice maker
here ya go:

this one is also good:
amzn.to/3dsKjLC
The Educated Barfly one is quite a bit cheaper you think it compares.
What's a good peach brandy?
GE Messanze is great
yeap
Marius, from now on ask if he has everything before he starts, somebody has to keep this guy on track. And please stop interrupting Marius when Marius speaks, some of us come here for his wonderful cinematography!!
is a julep an smash or whats the difference?
Essentially the same but a smash has muddled fruit as well as mint.
Although the category has been expanded to a drink with or without the fruit over time.
Confusing I know. lol
I'd like to try this with Chivas Regal 12 instead of Bourbon
Just buy the chivas mizunara and enjoy it neat ;]
#SlappyPoo
Ah yes. The mackinaws are back in season again. They are very nice and sweet this year. I have my eye on one very dark and slightly overripe 🍑 that is begging to get smashed.
Skip to 3:00 for the actual content.
FIRST... DUDE
Ehhh.. Elephant in the room. Those are not peach slices. LOL
cocktail starts 2:55
What was going on with the writing and the photoshoped bottles in front of it at 5:07 ?
mistake
If you didn't put so much ice in you wouldn't have needed a straw and wouldnt have forgotten something.
It also would have been over diluted oh well 🤷♂️
Too much ice 🙄🙄🤣
😂100% rainbow room NYC
I really need to pick up a muddler.
No you don’t. Just use the back of some kitchen implement, like a wooden spoon. Hunt around till you find something that will work.
Would you be willing to try my cocktail "Sour Faced Monk". It utilizes some not so common ingredients.
1.25 oz Bénédictine
0.75 oz Chartreuse (pref. Green)
1 oz. Lemon Juice
0.5 oz. Orgeat Syrup
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
1 Egg White
Shake with ice until frothy
Serve in coupe
Lemon twist garnish
Willing? Of course I’d be willing!
@@TheEducatedBarfly yay, if you try it i hope you enjoy it. A friend said they liked it though that may have been just a nice. Also if that version is too sweet for your liking you can do 1.5 oz of Bénédictine and 0.5 oz of Chartreuse instead
I'm really sure you put just 1 oz bourbon into the drink 😅
Can you sub triple sec for curacao if you don't have it on hand? I have everything but!
Yes. The result will be a little drier but yes
Its the Rainbow.....not the Rainbow room.
The New York City bar where Dale DeGroff worked is called the Rainbow Room. It’s the rainbow on sunset...
@@TheEducatedBarfly That was the correction....love your channel. It's not often people have both enthusiasm and in-depth knowledge. I was at the Rainbow for New Years eve in 95 and a regular in the 80s.
Did Lemmy drink there until he died? Well, he didn't drink there after he died.
Good point
Leandro, I have long wondered whether if you opened your own bar, you would be forced by your own fame and your fan base to name it “The Poo and Pants.”
Maybe but I’d probably just name it Barfly
The Educated Barfly A good name, of course!
I'm gonna sound condescending here, but LA people don't know what heat is. SoCal weather is so easy year round. The high temperatures in LA all this week are below 80 and even here in Kansas City, which is not a hot city imo, it's been above 90 every day in June. -.-
Luv the drinks tech but less talking dayum....
Not loving the unscripted Marius interruptions...
Camera guy needs to stop interrupting so much
His name is Marius, welcome to the Educated Barfly.
@@SCP-zp8jz then I may just start reading the blog from now on because Marcus is super annoying.
angel whispers because you’re annoyed doesn’t make Marius “annoying” most viewers enjoy the banter.
It’s hot cuz there burning down there own towns
a want a drink not a smoothie , thanks
please don't go down the path of using buffoonish thumbnails. such a turn-off with HTD, i basically stopped watching him cuz yuck. y'all are better than that
Buffoonish thumbnails are a solemn tradition on UA-cam. But I’m impressed that you’d stop watching content you enjoy based on thumbnail design 😂 Either way Marius and I are committed to trying new things, hope you can stick with us regardless
