The Tuxedo is my favorite martini-adjacent drink

I do love a very Juniper forward, bracingly cold, extremely dry Martini - just a splash of vermouth! Great video! Cheers!! 🙂

Been digging on this lately: 1oz Roku gin 1oz CH Peppercorn vodka 1oz olive brine (Castelvetrano) .5oz Ancho Reyes Verde 3 drops 20% saline solution Shake hard and briefly. Double strain into the coldest glass of all time, olive garnish. I call it "Name of My Sextape" because it's pretty spicy, extremely dirty, and for some reason you just can't look away. I don't remember if you guys have a PO box, I'd love to send along some of that peppercorn vodka. Comes from CH Distilling, the Chicago-based distillery that owns Jeppson's Malort.

Just hearing the name, I know the freezer martini could be trouble. Better label that bottle “Friday night only” just to be safe

All three of these recipes look incredible. I'll take one of each to go. Also hoping you evantually do a video of Marius making a drink on his own and then you re-do it and make it make sense, and a video of frankensteining two different drinks together into one amazing cocktail. Keep up the amazing content.

Interesting you note the truffle oil garnish, had a cocktail at death & co recently that had just a drop of truffle oil as a garnish but the aroma was exploding out of the glass. Didn't taste any truffle until I got that drop in the final sip too, so interesting juxtaposition of flavor/aroma

Just in time for my martini party... Cheers!

Hey, is it a preference to add orange bitters or not to the Freezer Martini? or does it just not work with the mix of gins? - Love your videos!

Love your videos, excellent quality! I have tried several drinks following your instructions and enjoyed the variety and adventure! Loved the Aviation cocktail but what else can I use the creme de violette in for something different? I trust your judgement and taste more than my own!

Well. I am certainly mixing one up and putting it in the freezer. I thought only booze over 40% was safe to freeze.

Can you link where you got the cool storage glasses to put the gin in for the freezer???

The possibilities of martini are limitless!

Nice Idea with the Kimmel- Downey Jr. Situation haha, wouldn't have thought you watched the Oscars or would be aware of this. Cool!

Truffle salt isn't something that I've ever purchased. Do you have a recommended product, or something that I should avoid? Thanks in advance!

You need to try a martini with Thomas Daykin gin. It's excellent, truly excellent.

Hey just following up here, during the video you mention you can use any blend of gins for this which Im not totally certain is the case. Ive tried this recipe several times and each time it has frozen. Im realizing now its likely because there is too much dilution and the only reason yours worked is likely because of your navy strength gin.

What temp is your freezer. Unless it’s super low even 80’proof spirits shouldn’t freeze. This cocktail also will get a little slushy but it melts immediately into a very cold martini

Can the bitter bianco be subbed with suze?

Yeah. You’ll get a lot less gentian and a bit different cocktail but it should work

I love all your Martini videos, thanks! BTW, when using a paper filter it's recommended to wash the filter first with a stream of warm water. In the coffee world, it is done to avoid unwanted taste from the paper transfering into your delicious cup of coffee. Keep up the good content!

I want to see more cocktails with the onion vermouth

@1337billybob

Ай бұрын

6:14 I agree with the onion in vermouth. That sounds fantastic. As an avid cook I would recommend have it in the oven at 350 like Leandro DiMonriva recommends. Then power up the broiler. Mine has top coil so put it inthe top rack. Old school gas ovens you need to use the tray on the bottom. Broiling veggies can be amazing and I should do it more myself. Solah has a really interesting video about braising anything but probably won't work for already soft and translucent onions but you could braise first then oven.

Is it really shelf stable even with a little dry vermouth for the freezer martini?

@Whuditlooklike

... If you're keeping it in the freezer, why would it need to be shelf stable? Shelf stable means it is safe to store at room temperature. Vermouth is not going to spoil in the freezer any more than meat or anything else would.

All sound delicious. My only real question is what makes the Trash-tini a martini? I guess gin-vermouth-bitters, but then 2 other ingredients and a way off a normal Martini ratio. Don't get me wrong, it sounds delicious, but don't really see it as a Martini?

@TheEducatedBarfly

2 ай бұрын

Therin lies the age old question of what makes a drink a drink. The thing about martinis is they have always been wildly different than what we perceive a martini is these days. Early martinis used bokers bitters (close to angostura), gum syrup (close to simple syrup), sweet vermouth and Old Tom Gin or Genever. So the dry martini we say is a martini these days has almost nothing to do with its history.

"Whiskey you gotta wait 2 years" hurt me in my soul.. 😂 With Scotch ("WhiskY"), it's 3 years by law, but even then you'd be hard-pressed to find a 3y/o with that age statement on it (Lidl sells the Queen Margot 3y/o for example).. I'd say 5 - 8 years is the absolute minimum for a truly passable neat drinking whisk(e)y. But I guess you're talking mixers.

Bourbon is two years minimum, though in practice it will be four or more. Any less than four and you have to declare it on the labelling. Its doesn’t have to be prominent, but it has to be there.

Theres still plenty you can do and not declare; like repackage someone else’s whisky or age MGP spirit and release it as your own.

Help! I did the freezer martini according to spec in terms of volume yesterday, and it has frozen!
