can't even ask for a better birthday present than a 30 min video about my absolutely favorite cocktail! FYI you really should make more videos that long .
I know you don't want to do "too much history" but you're very knowledgeable and I really love all the history bits around cocktail history and circumstance. Great video! I need to try all these. That sweet martini looks very enticing.
Love this style of ep, going through the history and evolution of a cocktail with multiple iterations. I have to say I like my martinis dirty, I find the vinegar in the olive juice to balance out the cocktail more to my taste, but again there is no right way to like a martini, there's just your personal taste, and everyone's differ.
I`m new and a novice in bartending. Have to say that I`m glad I found this channel after gone through several bartending channels. Very informative and respectable bartender in contrast to all the dorky kinds of bartenders that I stumbled across here on You tube. Subscribed and following this one for sure!
Fantastic video, fellas! Of the classic cocktails, the OF (with rye) is my favorite, but I agree that the Martini is THE MOST CLASSIC COCKTAIL. I'm learning to love Martinis of all kinds, too. Thank you for this in-depth, yet lots of fun, video.
Absolutely loved the history lesson. Can’t wait to try the sweet martini to see if it’s as good as it sounds! Thanks again guys, another great video. ❤️🍸
I never knew how much I liked a martini. I was drinking a 50:50 martini while watching this and boy was it good. You can just smell the glass afterwards and be satisfied. I'm a huge gin fan and the synergy between the gin and the vermouth is amazing. From today onward I think I've become a vermouth fan :-) I'm very new to cocktails and all of this is like opening a magic box for me. Thanks for all of the great videos!
There was a bartender, now retired, at the Dukes Hotel in London who showed us his own take on the martini. A chilled glass with Dry Vermouth (I prefer a 1/4 or 1/3 ratio myself) and London Dry Gin from the freezer so cold it’s viscous (no ice), then a twist of lemon. The kicker was a tray of cashews and olives. Begin chewing a cashew. Before it’s gone begin chewing an olive and while those flavors are still fresh in your mouth take a big sip. Delicious. I like the idea of the orange bitters so I'll have to try that.
by the way, major advice: everybody who loves a martini should keep the ice you stirred with, put it in a glass and use it to cool water. The water gets a very subtle yet very balanced taste of the drink. It's a nice reminder.
I just rinse and reuse ice (only reusing it in drinks I'm making myself & my fiancée, even pre-COVID), because if I'm putting 20-40 minutes of effort into making beautiful clear ice I would rather shake with the post-usage bits: they're still clear, hard, and dense, why waste the energy and water?
I absolutely love that this long video. It's really nice to have something playing in the background while you're doing chores or working from home. Please do more! Definitely glad you threw in a fifth cocktail 👍👍
Love this style of a video. I have a bit of sweet vermouth left over and wasn't sure what I was gonna do with it. For some reason, everyone has been on a Martini craze lately; myself included. Will give the first one a try! :)
The Marguerite is simply the best, thank you. We didn’t have the stronger version gin so went with their original and a martini dry martini which we really really loved. Interestingly though we preferred that as it was mildly sweeter than the brands in the video. This is a drink that now sits top of list for simple good order anytime cocktails when we are allowed back to social places.
SOOOOoooo.. i made one of the marguites the other night, playing around, just wanted to put orange bitters in something. fell in love! seeing your video affirms it. i used leopold's and was super happy
Lol right when he was pouring the last martini, I exclaimed beautiful wash line and literally he said it right after! Great vid. Informative and shows your passion!
I have a Seville orange tree in my backyard here in south Texas. The oils of the peel are extremely aromatic and bitter and the juice is sour like a lemon. One of my favorite martinis is a variation balancing that bitterness with blanco vermouth instead of dry and it is delicious. 3 dashes orange bitters 3 drops of Seville orange juice 1 oz. Dolin blanco vermouth 2 oz. juniper forward Gin. Stir and garnish with Seville orange peel. Maybe you’d like to try it if you can find Seville oranges.
The Marguerite is my favorite too. Over the years I perfected my specs for a martini until I got it where I wanted it. It was only after reading the Simonson book that I realized that I had reinvented the Marguerite. 😂🤣😂
I mean technically a dirty martini is how I think like battery must taste like, and somehow it is one of my favourite things to sip... how strange.... I think Martini's really are mall about culture and super subtle tastes. As opposed to a - say - Mojito which is more like 'lemonade' :)
I saw the sweet martini and instantly went ahead to make it alongside the video, it’s bloody delicious is what it is 😋 new instant favourite martini variant!
Just try the Medium Martini, like it start with the taste sweet vermouth, than the dry feel come in with end of the juniper Spices... Nice recipe. Ya, wish you can do the battle for the bitters. Like your work, keep it up man.
I love cocktail history! I actually have pages of notes with recipes on my computer about the history and evolution of the Martinx cocktail family! Where did you find the recommendation for a lemon twist, olive or cherry garnish for the first one? The early recipes I've seen (1887 and 1888) call for a lemon twist. I believe the first one would be called a Martinez in modern times, though through history they used names like Martini, Martine, Martinez, etc. interchangeably? I'll make sure to try the Sweet Martini after you instantly declared it your favourite! I had overlooked that one, it seems like most recipes either went for Old Tom gin and sweet vermouth or London dry and dry vermouth, rarely one from both categories. It does look delicious! Did your source specifically call for the Plymouth gin? The photocopy of Harry's ABC's of Mixing Cocktails I've used just says gin. Just as a little note, I love the history and stories you tell, but you might consider clipping some of the thinking pauses and repeating words, especially in these long videos! It would make everything a bit more cohesive, I say as I'm finishing my third paragraph... Also, I was just hoping you'd compare the Bogart's and Boker's bitters before you mentioned making a video about it!
Leandro is on point with his assessment of the sweet martini! Didn't have gum syrup, but made it with Lo-Fi sweet vermouth (a new acquisition), Plymouth and garnished with a Luxardo cherry. Bonus: lower ABV, so have it for breakfast!
I do love waking up in the morning and watching a nice long Educated Barfly video. Sets a good mood for the rest of the day. I will be trying at least two of these variations. I've never really liked Martinis before, but I think as my palate has evolved and as I've learned more about making drinks, I'm totally up for this now. It was my goal to go to Cole's and ask for one of these from you, but looks like that either won't happen or won't happen soon, so I'll have to make it myself.
This is all fascinating. But if you go to a nice bar in a city like SF, and ask for a martini, they will often give you gin only. You actually have to ask for Vermouth. In that case, they will do something like pour in some vermouth, swish it around and pour it out. None of these drinks is anything like a martini you actually get most of the time. Plan to try some of these. I think the comment about the vermouth spoiling on the shelf is spot on as to why vermouth is not liked/used. Also the pairing of the gin. Another aspect was in Vya's promotional pitch. You typically add $7 a bottle Vermouth to $30 a bottle gin. Dolin (as used here) is the way to go. Can't get it where I live though. I tend to use Cinzano. Great sweet vermouth. Ok dry vermouth.
i live within walking distance of the blackfriar's distillery. still need to visit it, walked past it a few times. the street it's on is very narrow and there's a lot of pubs on it.
Thanks to your video, I've been making the Marguerite and it truly is as good as you describe! It's now my absolute favourite! I regret all those ultra dry martinis I drank when I could have been drinking this!
I’ve never been able to see any oil from my peels spritz out like you said, so I’m jealous. These are all looking great! Thanks for giving me some ideas ...
My go-to is 6 parts London Dry, 1 part Dry Vermouth, 1 part olive brine with olive garnish. Sometimes I'll play with the ratios to balance it out a little, but 6-1-1 is easy and tasty.
Still waiting on the gum syrup ratio, the other 1888 martini recipe (in the description), & the "battle of the [Boker's/Bogart's] bitters". No rush at all, & appreciate the content as always! 🍸
Wonderful segment. I’ve recently discovered the Martinez and it is my favorite now. I tried your sweet with Bombay and it is similar but the gin is more subtle since there’s half!! But still a keeper. I gotta go buy some dry vermouth to try some of those. Also have to get some Plymouth though Ransom old Tom is my go to now. Love it.EDIT. Tried the medium with Dolin dry and sweet vermouth FANTASTIC!!! Amazing how different all of these are and such different flavors dominating. Wonderful thank YOU!!!!! Edit. Sorry man, the medium and the sweet are keepers. Not impressed by the last one. I was using Bombay to make the last one tonight but no where near the flavor of the medium and the sweet and the Martinez. Love your stuff.
Idk if you’ll see this but do you think you would ever do a vermouth masterclass type video? I would love to learn differences between types/brands of vermouth and how to use them in different cocktails! Love you guys.
Absolutely love this video! The martini's history is so interesting. If I had to pick just one cocktail to drink for the rest of my life, I'd probably pick the 2-to-1 martini with a lemon twist (I'll have to try the orange though!) If you had to pick just one drink, which would you take?
? Leandro would you consider the Snicker a Martini? It’s 1oz Dry Gin 1/2oz French Vermouth 2 dashes Maraschino 1 teaspoon syrup 1 dash orange bitters then add an egg white and dry shake then ice shake.
Hi, I have an unopened bottle of martini bianco and I’m struggling to figure out how to use it. The old pal cocktail looks great for it but can’t find any other easy cocktails for it. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe it’s a future video idea how we should use our sweet white vermouth, not much content on UA-cam in that department
I know this video is old, but here is my question. Can’t find bitter truth bogart’s anywhere in my area. Is Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Boker's Bitters a good substitute? I really want to try the first martini
I love Martinis so this was a great video. I also love history in general but cocktial history is a treat. I still haven't bought any coup or Nick and Nora glasses. What size am I looking for Leandro? I don't want a huge gap on my pour.
Great video, my question is which Orange bitters are you using, Angostura or Regans for example taste so different. Cheers from Perú. Also do you put the link of the gumm syrup. Thanks
I know this is not related tl a martini in any way, but does anyone know of a good peanut butter flavored whiskey or alcoholic drink and what to add it into to make a good cocktail.
I prefer olives and have recently discovered Gin Mare which has olive as an ingredient doe work so well. Mind you HArris gin with kelp is getting up there.
Oh could you make a video on various sweet and dry vermouths and their strengths and weaknesses? I've tried a few and they seem like very different beasts. Just for piinters for us noobs!
I didn't realize my preferred martini recipe was, in fact, a marguerite. I don't know that I've ever heard that name for the cocktail before but it's so good.
I'd be intrigued to see how the sweet and medium balance with a heartier vermouth like Cocchi or Carpano... 🤔... (Realizes I have both, Dolin, and Plymouth) wait I'll just go find out 😆!
I just invented a cocktail just now...the ‘gentleman’s summer delight’ for myself. So I went for a negroni and had no vermouth so I improvised.... 2oz tanqueray 1 oz Campari 1 oz Averna 1/2 a medium lemon Shaken with ice Unsuspectingly, unusually fabulous, balanced and neither too sweet or too bitter but tart and strong. Perfect for an urban dandy, who’s burly but a touch girly. It will either put hair on your chest, or take it off!
"Battle of the Bitters" Yyyyyyeeeeeessssss 🥂.. Look forward to That video too!
Watching this on my lunch break so I can say I had a 5 martini lunch.

I made the Medium Martini (1922) this evening and WOW, this is now my favorite, go-to martini from now on. Thank you for posting these variations.
That sweet recipe sounds incredible. Awesome vid, as always. And tell Marius to lighten up a little lol

A Marguerite made with Martin Miller Westbourne is, indeed, an ideal Martini! I'm looking forward to trying the sweet recipe tonight.

“Grace personified” is drinking 2.5 oz of nearly-straight gin with a little bit of botanical flavoring, lol. Classy!

Great video! I've mixed a sweet martini while watching this, and it's delicious. Glad I had cherries in the fridge!
This was a fantastic introduction to martinis! I can't wait to try these. This also makes me a lot more curious about Bitters.
Rich Demerara gomme syrup is a staple in my kitchen, especially during the winter. It's amazing in Old Fashioneds and Sazeracs!
A syrup video sounds great! If you do one could you also add how long they're usually good for after you make them?
Wonderful video! I've never been interested in a martini before, but I loved these variations so much that I must try it.
I saw the sweet martini and instantly went ahead to make it alongside the video, it’s bloody delicious is what it is 😋 new instant favourite martini variant!
How would i order the last cocktail at a bar? I make it at home and love it, but would love to be able to get one at the bar.
The Bogart's Bitters from Bitter Truth changed the way I thought about cocktail bitters. That stuff is absolutely incredible.
Thank you. I cannot stand a dry gin martini and you have given me delicious (and historical) options. My quarantine bar thanks you.
Just try the Medium Martini, like it start with the taste sweet vermouth, than the dry feel come in with end of the juniper Spices... Nice recipe. Ya, wish you can do the battle for the bitters. Like your work, keep it up man.
I am headed to the bitters and vermouth store! Really great video today, very informative!
Thanks!
Leandro, you're right. I thought I hated gin, but I just made a sweet Martini per your recipe, and I liked it. It's nice to be wrong sometimes.

I’ve been waiting for this video for weeks!!! Sad to omit another 1888 first published martini:( though for me, perfect video!!!

Loved this. Thank you! 🍸
Try swapping the Vermouth for Montengro. I've also swapped this amaro out with Benedictine with good results.

@@TheEducatedBarfly can’t wait! You’re the man!Just trying to build out my bar cart responsibly and efficiently lol 🤓
I love craft bitters, battle of the bitters would be awesome.
Absolutely love this video! The martini's history is so interesting.
If I had to pick just one cocktail to drink for the rest of my life, I'd probably pick the 2-to-1 martini with a lemon twist (I'll have to try the orange though!)
If you had to pick just one drink, which would you take?
Negroni, hands down.
? Leandro would you consider the Snicker a Martini?
It’s 1oz Dry Gin
1/2oz French Vermouth
2 dashes Maraschino
1 teaspoon syrup
1 dash orange bitters then add an egg white and dry shake then ice shake.
I like the bottle that bogart's bitters comes in, its a better bitter bottle than many others.
In Spain (and probably some other countries) sweet vermouth is usually drink with a splash of gin.
I need to try that sweet martini! I have a bottle of carpano antica at home that I think would like some gin in it!
Definitely have to do history of other cocktails. Maybe Margarita for one
Great episode guys :)
Great great great video, guys!
Hi, I have an unopened bottle of martini bianco and I’m struggling to figure out how to use it. The old pal cocktail looks great for it but can’t find any other easy cocktails for it. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe it’s a future video idea how we should use our sweet white vermouth, not much content on UA-cam in that department
Thanks so much for this one! I ❤️ dirty Martini but I've got to expand my horizons 😉
Can't wait to start mixing Martini's!
I know this video is old, but here is my question. Can’t find bitter truth bogart’s anywhere in my area. Is Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Boker's Bitters a good substitute? I really want to try the first martini
I love Martinis so this was a great video. I also love history in general but cocktial history is a treat.
I still haven't bought any coup or Nick and Nora glasses. What size am I looking for Leandro? I don't want a huge gap on my pour.
You need between a 5.5oz on the small side and 6-6.5oz on the larger side. I use a 6oz glass
@@TheEducatedBarfly thank you my good sir.
Nice video dude!
Great video, my question is which Orange bitters are you using, Angostura or Regans for example taste so different. Cheers from Perú. Also do you put the link of the gumm syrup. Thanks
Either Fee's or Reagan's. But sometimes "Feegans" which is half of each.
Terrific video as always. Any home substitutions for gum syrup?
Simple syrup...
I know this is not related tl a martini in any way, but does anyone know of a good peanut butter flavored whiskey or alcoholic drink and what to add it into to make a good cocktail.
Could you use Carpano Antica Formula in the sweet Martini?
Yep and it would be fantastic!
Sir how can we get gum syrup.
Could you share me.
Thank you so much .
Do you think Beefeater would work well in the Marguerite cocktail?
Would Beefeater Gin be a passable substitute for Plymouth for the Sweet Martini?
The classic dirty martini with three olives and more if they'll give them ( I love olives 😂) will forever be my favourite cocktail ❤
Great video!
You are always on point with the cocktail history! Much respect brother!
Martinis and Jazz...a perfect gift from America.
God I love this channel
I prefer olives and have recently discovered Gin Mare which has olive as an ingredient doe work so well. Mind you HArris gin with kelp is getting up there.
Oh could you make a video on various sweet and dry vermouths and their strengths and weaknesses? I've tried a few and they seem like very different beasts. Just for piinters for us noobs!
I didn't realize my preferred martini recipe was, in fact, a marguerite. I don't know that I've ever heard that name for the cocktail before but it's so good.
I would watch an entire video just on tasting notes on different types of bitters. Not sure what to use for a pallet cleanser though.
I'd be intrigued to see how the sweet and medium balance with a heartier vermouth like Cocchi or Carpano... 🤔... (Realizes I have both, Dolin, and Plymouth) wait I'll just go find out 😆!
Good question I made a sweet with carpano and found it too sweet. Medium was great (dolin /carpano)
I just invented a cocktail just now...the ‘gentleman’s summer delight’ for myself. So I went for a negroni and had no vermouth so I improvised....
2oz tanqueray
1 oz Campari
1 oz Averna
1/2 a medium lemon
Shaken with ice
Unsuspectingly, unusually fabulous, balanced and neither too sweet or too bitter but tart and strong.
Perfect for an urban dandy, who’s burly but a touch girly. It will either put hair on your chest, or take it off!
So do you just shake it with the lemon half or du you cut up the halved lemon into wedges before you put it in the shaker?
