Hi friends! It's has been such a long time since I had an Alaska, it's almost like I had forgotten about it. But man! I love this drink! Have you ever had one? If not, do yourself a favor and go grab your mixing glass right now! ;) Cheers!

I may pick up some some suze and fino sherry to try this. I found the Alaskan a bit too coyingly sweet when I tried it last despite being a fan of all the ingredients

I have had an Alaskan before and liked because I am a big Chartruse fan. With the addition of the fino sherry and Suze takes this to another level. Nice job! Very sophisticated IMO.

OMG to watch that cocktail go ass over tea kettle right after you spent so much time saying how good it is and how long it's been since you had it-that hurt my heart! 🥺 I enjoy your videos. I will have to try that cosmo when raspberries show up at the farmers market.

Thank you sir! In this case, using Suze as a bitters rather than a liqueur, makes a subtle change that pairs so well with all the cocktail flavors. And the fino also adds just enough acidity ... I really love it that way :) Hope you will do too. Cheers!

Love the recipes, thanks! I'd love for you to speak in one of your videos to how to buy and store wine-based ingredients like fino sherry. I would like to use it in cocktails, but don't want to buy a 750ml bottle just to use 15-30ml at a time. Even in the refrigerator, doesn't it go bad fairly quickly? Thanks again for your great channel!

@TrufflesOnTheRocks

4 ай бұрын

Hey hi! Wine based products won't go bad, they will oxidize. I consider I have a pretty fine palate and I don't mind a slightly oxidized vermouth in my cocktail. Also, Sherries are often already oxidized so even a dry one (because sugar helps to slow oxidation process) don't change that fast. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you shouldn't care about the conservation of your vermouths and sherries but I think, when keeping them in the right conditions (in the fridge), we shouldn't be too concern about this.

Man, that Alaska looks amazing! brb, gonna go make it

However this orange zest garnish will be so common .. how to make its? Could you show us?Thank you so much ever..

Definitely trying your version of the Alaska. That Suze addition looks like a nice touch! I just looked up on Difford's Guide and it said that an Alaska with the addition of fino sherry is called a Nome. Interesting. Looks like I'll need to try every version out and compare!

@TrufflesOnTheRocks

4 ай бұрын

That's interesting cause back to when I started making the Alaska that way, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, I looked on Difford's too and there was one with fino in it that was listed as an Alaska. The line between upgrading a classic or making a new cocktail is thin I guess ;) Cheers my friend!

I'm not at the point where I feel comfortable making my own recipes yet. The downside is that said member recipes can only be seen by other members. Mr. Difford himself sometimes rates the drinks, if he's tried them himself.

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks indeed there are some type of glasses that are quite unique. I have few thrift store ones that I like and it will be impossible to recuperate. So for sure it is always a dilemma which glass to use. I really like the Alaska glass so I am happy it survived. Cheers and have a great weekend.

Thank you for the videos! I’m reading a book right now called Cure by a New Orleans bartender named Neal Bodenheimer and Emily Timberlake. In the book he mentions how he has stopped using the dasher bottles and just uses dropper bottles instead for enhanced precision. I’m curious what you think? I like your method of the original cosmo better than making a raspberry simple also!

@TrufflesOnTheRocks

4 ай бұрын

It's a great way to be more accurate indeed. I guess I'm so used to using a dasher, I watch at what is dropping and can tell when a dash is too small or when came out fat so I don't make another one... but for some very intense flavors like celery bitters, I think the dropper is a great idea.
