I think I first stumbled upon this channel, when I was looking on how to make a Negroni. I just got recently interested into making Cocktails by watching a rundown of the 50 Classic Cocktails by Epicurious. I must say, I have seen a few videos on Cocktails, but once I came here it kinda stuck with me. Wether it's the magnificent production quality, the helpful tips on how to make certain ingredients (like syrups and such) and most definitely your charming presentation style, I really like it here! :3 A big thanks to you, Cara, Josh and everyone involved in this channel. You all have truly created a "safe space" for all things booze and the history of it (at least for me :)).

Good video. I prefer the simple stuff-four ingredients is as many as I can remember.

people over here don't dig cream in their white russians, so what we do is shake up lactosefree milk with a slinky from a strainer and one icecube. this doesn't work with the fresh milk we got from the farmer for some reason, only with the lactosefree one. the milk comes out very viscose and frothy. i'd recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to use cram or half half in their white russians. still have to find a vegan milk where that is gonna work with. i like the addition of the macadamia liqueur. a lot of bars in my city will put a little float of 43 liqueur or maybe even frangelico on top of their white russians, which is also a nice twist.

And here it is: (1) Margherita + (2) Pisco Sour + (3) Caipirinha, none of which (luckily) on this rather silly list. But these three very popular drinks, pretty much cover the entire geographical area of Latin America, which is saying a lot. And, I ensure this noble audience, they are really amazing as a group.

I've had them all kinds of ways and depending on where you are in Mexico they are simpler (and never with mezcal or tequila) I just found this version very tasty! There's no real consensus but fans of the drink would say that lime, beer, Taijin is a chelada, and Worstershire, Taijin, Maggi, lime, hot sauce, and beer is a michelada, and if you add tomato juice or clamato it's an oyo rojo (red eye).

Great list with some favorites and some ones I will definitely try :) It's funny though that I do use your channel and some o these you referred to here as reference when I try cocktails. Yet, for the mojito, no one seems to be doing it like I'm accustomed to. The recipe I used when I first started making these was from Playboy magazine, so it's legitimate enough in my book. I first cut the lime into squares, then muddle it in the glass together with a spoonfull of sugar and the mint, kinda like you'd start a caipirinha , but with mint (my personal twist is I also add a dash of rum at that stage so there'd be a little bit more liquid for the sugar and mint oils to dissolve in). Then fill the glass with crushed ice to the top and pour 60 mil of rum. With the ice and limes and what not, this is enough to fill 3/4 of the glass, so there's room left for a sprinkle of soda water to top it off. And then I stir. Voila :)

I have had Long Islands in bars, clubs and restaurants all over Sydney and its suburbs and never has there been a sugar syrup component, all the sweetness was provided by the Cointreau and the Coke filler.

I use exactly the same ingredients for my Piña Colada with the addition of 1/4 oz of lime juice to give the pineapple juice a bit of tartness and a bar spoon of orgeat to add a hint more nuttiness to the coconut. Then I blend it with a glassful of ice. People's eyes light up when they taste it. It's got enough flavor to handle all the ice and yet tastes light and refreshing. It remains slushy for quite some time but people tend to suck it all down pretty fast. I'm to lazy to make a proper Bloody Mary and don't make them often. I just use Spicy V8 with a squeeze of lemon and some black pepper. It;'s not the same but it ain't bad.
