- Although we're always tempted to find a specific source at a specific time for each cocktail recipe, the reality for many of the classics is that they were evolutions over many many years.

Watching this on my lunch break so I can say I had a 5 martini lunch.
Ooh, please do a Battle of the Bitters!
Yes.
best idea ever
Oh yes please!
"Battle of the Bitters" Yyyyyyeeeeeessssss 🥂.. Look forward to That video too!
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 .
Love the deep dive on a classic. Digging the history and the context of each one!
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 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.
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 👍👍
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?
@@nicholasterry6523 glad I'm not the only one who does this 👍
Me too +1 😃
Great episode! Love the longer ones
No judgement on the bitters tasting :) loving the old martini recipes!
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. 😂🤣😂
that is a great variation of the evolution of the Martni. Well done. Thank you !
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.
Love your work Leandro!
That sweet recipe sounds incredible. Awesome vid, as always. And tell Marius to lighten up a little lol
“Grace personified” is drinking 2.5 oz of nearly-straight gin with a little bit of botanical flavoring, lol. Classy!
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' :)
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! :)
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.
Outstanding video! Thanks for sharing!
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 tried it! It's Sooo good ❣️
Wonderful video! I've never been interested in a martini before, but I loved these variations so much that I must try it.
Loved this. Thank you! 🍸
I was researching martinis and realised just including the most popular ingredients, ratios and garnishes would create thousands of possible variations. Then when you take into account all the different gins, vermouths etc. the variations are essentially limitless.
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`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!
thanks for watching
Excellent video! Thank you!
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.
Great video! I've mixed a sweet martini while watching this, and it's delicious. Glad I had cherries in the fridge!
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.
The Bogart's Bitters from Bitter Truth changed the way I thought about cocktail bitters. That stuff is absolutely incredible.
This was a fantastic introduction to martinis! I can't wait to try these. This also makes me a lot more curious about Bitters.
You know its a good day when we get a half an hour long video
Great concept episode. More please !
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!
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.
It is my dream to one day visit Dukes in London and have a Martini
great presentation and info.
Dude this is my favorite opening monologues of all of your vids.
More of these type vids please, 4-5 drinks in one reference video I nice to keep in your favorites
A Marguerite made with Martin Miller Westbourne is, indeed, an ideal Martini! I'm looking forward to trying the sweet recipe tonight.
Great episode guys :)
glad that you did the 5, more power to you!
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
I’ve been waiting for this video for weeks!!! Sad to omit another 1888 first published martini:( though for me, perfect video!!!
Great great great video, guys!
Thank you. I cannot stand a dry gin martini and you have given me delicious (and historical) options. My quarantine bar thanks you.
Fantastic video, fellas! Of the classic cocktails, the OF (with rye) is my favorite, but I agree that the Martini is THE MOST CLASSIC
Nice video dude!
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 am headed to the bitters and vermouth store! Really great video today, very informative!
Thanks!
Great fun, yes bitters videos would be fascinating.
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 ...
This makes me so happy. The only thing that will make happier would be the Battle of the Bitters!
A syrup video sounds great! If you do one could you also add how long they're usually good for after you make them?
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.
You are always on point with the cocktail history! Much respect brother!
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!
Glad you like the content and thanks for the support 😊
Fantastic!
Thanks so much for this one! I ❤️ dirty Martini but I've got to expand my horizons 😉
Rich Demerara gomme syrup is a staple in my kitchen, especially during the winter. It's amazing in Old Fashioneds and Sazeracs!
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!
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.
First cocktail I learned to make. I am obsessed with Hendricks Gin. I figure if Scots can make fine whiskey, making fine gin is easy.
This was a cool video. I would love to see the same for the Mai Tai and watch the epic fall from trader Vic's recipe to your local red Robin.
Great history game here sir! 🙏😊
Can't wait to start mixing Martini's!
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.
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 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.
Would love to see a video making cocktails using things that are not as common or known about. Like Middle Eastern inspired Cocktails.
Great video
God I love this channel
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.
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.
I'm figuring out that my "new" cocktail we've been talking about is just a variation of a Historical Martini. I now understand why you advised me to add gum sirop into it !!!
Definitely have to do history of other cocktails. Maybe Margarita for one
I always wanted to travel in time and I just found my time machine! 🕟
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.
The classic dirty martini with three olives and more if they'll give them ( I love olives 😂) will forever be my favourite cocktail ❤
I've heard that America's best cultural contributions were NASA and jazz, you just added one more to this list!
I love craft bitters, battle of the bitters would be awesome.
I can speak from experience that another reason Americans have such an aversion to vermouth (aside from not keeping it chilled and buying massive bottles and only using a couple drops per drink, causing the same, rancid bottle to stay on the shelf for weeks/month/ years) is that it is extremely difficult to find legitimately good vermouth in the states. Gallo, Dolin, Noilly Prat, Martini & Rossi, Carpano Antica... none of those are really high-quality vermouths. They are basically just fortified "two-buck-chuck" wines that are never going to match high-quality/artisan/small-batch vermouth made from good grapes. There's a reason Spaniards have bars dedicated to drinking fresh, room-temp, vermouth neat or on the rocks. They make them with good grapes, and in relatively small batches. If you can enjoy a martini made from that much Dolin vermouth or Carpano Antica vermouth, you're gonna lose your shit when you upgrade your game and make it with Vya, Imbue, or another vermouth made from good California/PNW grapes.
@TheEducatedBarfly, not sure where your reply went, but lol, I wish I worked for a California vermouth company. And disclaimer, I do live in California and I did work at a craft brewery several years ago. But after a 4-hour deep dive into vermouth recently (as all experimentations start), I searched high and low for “local” bottle of vermouth, and was still only able to find one option really. It changed the way I think about vermouth now.
Wherever you're from, just try find a bottle that is the most local to you. Live on the East Coast? Check out Atsby, Uncouth, or Capitoline vermouth. I can’t speak to any of those personally because I haven’t seen them on the west coast (just found em in a Google search), but I would put money that the more carefully and artisanally crafted vermouth is going to bring a hell of a lot more to the table.
Or hell, it’s the same principles behind beer and spiced rum: Why assume that these mega-conglomerate beverage companies are brewing beer, spicing rum, or creating vermouth the best they can possibly be when you can make it at home with relative ease? Buy a bottle of GOOD wine that you already know you like, and then experiment with aromatics and a fortifying spirit. There's no distilling in the process, so it's probably legal to make it at home in every state, right? It'll probably take a shit ton of trial and error, but the difference will probably be night and day.
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!
So cute as you get tipsier and tipsier as the video goes 😁😁❤️
I love how all of this was a martini shot. Martini shots are the best shots of the day. Then you’ve gotta hold for room tone. That sucks though.
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?
Terrific video as always. Any home substitutions for gum syrup?
Simple syrup...
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!
Jee suomalainen ❤️
Thicckk torille 😂
Jasmin Miettunen do you love me 🥺?
Just tried a medium with dolin and carpano and loved it. Tried a sweet yesterday and found it too sweet.
Ok, now my only choice is to test all the martinis 🍸, in a week not in 32 min 😊. Great vid. Thanks.
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.
dude gets pretty enthusiastic and buzzed by the end haha
Martinis and Jazz...a perfect gift from America.
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.
yes this is absolutely something I'm working on. Buuut may take a while to execute, but yes! It's something planned for the near future
@@TheEducatedBarfly can’t wait! You’re the man!Just trying to build out my bar cart responsibly and efficiently lol 🤓
I like the bottle that bogart's bitters comes in, its a better bitter bottle than many others.
I like that you say "zip, zilch, zero!" I say it that way, too. :)
The 50/50 martini is criminally under-appreciated. I always pour a chilled sidecar because the only thing better than a martini is one more.
In Spain (and probably some other countries) sweet vermouth is usually drink with a splash of gin.
Idk about taste, but a martini with that bright purple empress gin and a lemon twist would _look_ amazing
It's a complete gimmick.
