Ciara, Bringing us back from the dead. With a smile and a potion!

I’m so pleased to see these cocktail videos! They’re incredibly well done, and I love that you discuss the history!

I'm a bartender in the U.S. I ended up running out of Lillete a while back and decided to improvise. I named the resulting drink the "Corpse Bride" equal 30 ml parts; Gin, Drambuie, triple sec, and lemon juice. Give the glass an Absinth rinse, shake and strain. I believe you will love this

hold up -- I have all those ingredients... be right back

Her natural hairstyle is gorgeous!! Like she is! 😍😘🥰

never forget absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.... yeah its been done before but it amuses me

It'll be so lovely to see you with guests again. You really work fantastically with the other TRY presenters. Especially getting them (or anyone) to try these drinks with you.

It makes sense that Ciara's an alchemist, she can make "potions" with enough power to raise the dead.

I'll second that one!

You should try a sour apple slush. Crown royal apple whiskey, sour apple schnapps, lemonade and crushed ice. I’ve seen some variations with other ingredients but that’s the simplest version and the one I’ve tried. A drop of green food coloring helps with presentation especially if making in a blender for a group.

Sounds refreshing

a Ciara dash is a dashing dash at that 😉 **I would think that the fennel, anise and especially the lemon would be a digestive aid. truly though, having something citrus before a decent portion of protein. I had Czech absinthe back in ‘99/00 NYE ...it was quite an evening

This cocktail has me less scared to try absinthe. This cocktail sounds devine.

Its truly the best

During the Fall football season I would go to certain bar on Sundays that had a very nice lady bartender. I let her just make whatever she wanted with only one rule, she could not ask me for any advice and each drink had to be a different one. Ciara reminds me of her and made drinks I had never dreamed of.

About that comment for your vision of a home cocktail/party space: "Ciara's Centre for Debauchery" has a nice ring to it.

The timing of this one is perfect. Looking to get some use out of that absinthe bottle hiding at the back of the cabinet

Absolutely love this! Funny word play to 😂😂😂. Interestingly enough, i've also been wanting to dedicate a room just for cocktails and friends. There's something so satifysing when friends and patrons compliment me on the cockatails I make. Nice vid, Ciara! Cheers! 🥃🍻🍸👻

Suggestions - Pimm's Cup, an *authentic* traditional (not frozen or weird flavors - it's just lime) Daiquiri, a Side Car, a Brandy Flip or Sweet Vermouth Flip.

I would love to try absinthe some day. It sounds so intriguing.

The corpse reviver cocktail is basically a generic term and there are dozens of variations and they are all very different with what alcohols and mix they use...generally I believe they are at least 2 types of alcohol and meant to be hair of the dog type drinks.

Great stuff my dear. I must try to make some of these cocktails you have introduced us to. I love how you blouse matched your eyes.

Haven't tried the Necromancer - in fact your video is the first time I've heard of it. Can't wait to give it a shot. I'm a little leery about the lemon juice included in there, but your glowing review has abated my fears a bit. My personal favorite cocktail (of all of them) is also the Sazerac. I'm drinking a traditional Absinthe drip tonight. Cheers!

Your eyes completely lit up when you said debauchery, and I loved it!!

The corpse reviver! That's the name I know it from. It's a lovely drink, but sadly a lot of bartenders I look to don't know how to make it.

Lovely cocktail. Looking forward to try this one. I had a bottle of Absinthe and i gave it away. Not one of my best moment since discovering this channel. Will have to get another one.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - another Absinthe lover.

It’s the vermouth that mutes the absinthe. You can experiment with vermouth content to dial the absinthe up or down. I’m not sure why but I’ve been experimenting with drinks like this and that’s the way it seems to work. I think the “dash of gin” is just to keep it a Corpse Reviver variant. I don’t think it’s strictly necessary.

Dinner idea: Seared salmon crusted with cashews, a sprinkle of paprika, and a twist of lemon. Side plate of spinach salad, with walnuts, cranberries, mandarin oranges, and raspberry vinaigrette. Chocolate mousse for dessert. Necromancer to finish the night.

Ciara, have you ever had Jungle Juice before? My friend makes his own that I think you would like. Take a 10gal (or 40L) cooler, fill it with ice, srawberries, and blueberries then add: -Everclear or Absinthe -blue Curaçao -coconut rum -tequila or Absinthe (or whichever combination you prefer of alcohol, my friends and I pour an entire bottle of Everclear in alongside some Malibu rum, DonQ rum, and blue Curaçao) -blue Kool-Aid -Brisk Lemon Iced Tea

I’m gonna try this one!

I’ve had one of these before & it made me feel like I was floating & it was delish

I've made this before, it's a great cocktail, highly recommended to try it out.

I was nervous based on how many times you said "interesting". 🤣 Glad it turned out well.

Corpse Reviver #2. I recommended it before. It’s one of my go-to cocktails.

I’ve been drinking Pegu Club cocktails since the weather has gotten warmer. It’s only four ingredients, and ones that I always have on hand. Very light and refreshing.

In the States, a guy would call that his man cave. For you, how about Lass Lair!! Works for me. Thanks for another great video.

can I just say ... that is a gorgeous blouse , goes well with the cocktail vibe :)

This is very similar to my favourite cocktail, the Corpse Reviver No.2, highly suggest you give it a try. Also the Lunar looks really good!

You need to try an Absinthe Suissesse! I had one at breakfast at the famous Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans, and it was a serious life-time love at first sip! Probably the single best Absinthe drink I have ever tasted.

Helo Ciara, maybe you like to give the Toronto a try? It's a rye based cocktail that uses sugar syrup and Fernet. I'm using 2 parts rye (I like Rittenhouse BiB), 0.5 part Fernet Branca, 0.5 part rich demarara syrup. Stirred and served up in a frosted coupe glass, garnished with an orange peel.

Lately I've just been making coffee rum and rye tonics with a locally made coffee rum. In a glass with some ice add 30 ml coffee rum and Buileit rye whiskey. A dash of lime juice and add tonic water..

Never had one of these before! Time to breakout the absinthe!

CIARA...I may have already told you this Absinthe story...but it bears repeating! When Prime Minister Winston Churchill stayed at the White House during WWII ...Roosevelt would personally mix the drinks during cocktail hour and was always concocting unusual drinks ( much like yourself) Well when making Martinis he'd splash in a little Absinthe! Churchill HATED the concoction but didn't want to embarrass the President with the result being that for the Prime Ministers stay...the White House plants were watered with Absinthe Martini's!! HA! HA! Love your show! JLM... A&SH PIPER

St elder is a good cheap option. A comparable gin is ironically trader joes house gin. Its cheap and goes well in a bottom shelf version of the cocktail

She needs to drink this with her boyfriend often. After all...absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. :)

Ciara! We love your show here in Chicago. To use that St Germain, try a Ginny Germain. It’s delightful!

Love Love Love your blue outfit!!💙🤗😍🌺🌹💙

Great video, I love your top it goes lovely with your eyes.

I love the cocktail, "Mind Eraser " you should give that one a try on your channel.

Also if you haven’t tried Empress 1908 gin it is worth it - lots of floral notes added to the gin and it is a beautiful purple that changes to pink with the addition of citrus

Holy flip flops, served with a side of soggy chips! (And a side of curry sauce thank you curry much.) I’ve never heard of this ‘Nexromancer’ beverage!!!! Thanks for schooling me. I am now schooled. Did I spell school right? It’s always baffled me,that word...

If the Necromancer Cocktail is not a Corpse Reviver variant I'll lose all hope in all cocktail naming conventions!

Here in States we call your dream space a "SHE SHED" It will come to you!

I am a vodka & liqueur fan… can you do more vodka or liqueur based cocktails in the future??? Newly subscribed, can’t wait to see more of your own content. Been a fan since seeing you on TRY. 😊

Hello from Cincinnati, Ohio. 👋 I was wondering if you have ever heard of the Surfer On Acid cocktail. It has Jagermeister and coconut rum and sounds like it shouldn't be good, but it really is. Love the content. Keep doin you, hun.

I see Ciara--I click!

i'm gunna have to make this because Absinthe is the only spirit i can drink straight.

You should try a Last Word!

Great cocktail and of course great video One thing that was conspicuously absent in this one was your ceremonial shot of whatever alcohol the cocktail was being made from. I know you are probably not above a shot of Absinthe. Just forgot? 😆

Love that absinthe and have the same at home. Interesting thing you may wish to try. Rather than using an absinthe rinse for a Saz I load up an atomiser with the absinthe and give maybe 3 sprays into the glass. I've also done the same thing with a peated scotch or with angostura bitters (which I sprayed through a flame onto the cocktail). Will have to try a necromancer and have been looking for an excuse to buy some St Germain. I really want a room like duchessofislay has on her IG account. I think she is american which makes it easier than me with my city centre flat

You make me want to try Absinthe. Could be dangerous! Lol!

I don’t even wait to watch the vid. I just hit like . 🤓

Ciara O Doherty, Cocktail shed? Try Cocktail Cottage! I'm American and we call a shack of a building for tools and lawn equipment a shed. I imagine a quaint cottage with a fireplace and a covered porch for imbibing wonderful spirits with friends, family and guests. Namaste.

you oughta give the zombie a go, its a tiki drink with an absinthe rinse. lots of rum and fruit too, and a bit of allspice dram

Made this tonight using Gunpowder Gin and a local source Absinthe. O.M.G. it’s replaced the Corpse Reviver as my fave cocktail.

Okay, Reddit just told me about an "Irish Trash Can". Honestly, it sounds like the type of offensively named drink frat boys do on a dare: 1/2 oz of each of gin, vodka, peach schnapps, white rum, blue Curaçao and triple sec in a high ball glass half filled with Ice and topped with an entire open can of Red Bull upside down into the glass. So basically a suicide with a Red Bull garnish.

Just discovered Hendricks Lunar it's so delicious

Have you done a "Long Island" iced tea video yet?... I'm a newbie to your channel and so far I liked every one I've watched so far

He would love to see you make a poison apple one of these days :-) it takes Jager, cranberry juice, sour apple I think that's it

I would suggest trying it with different types of gin

It's no longer called the Dr. Evil Chair?

I had never heard of a white vermoth until today.

O_o where did you get the cocktail shaker with the bird head??? I have a mighty need.

Ominous!

That was a huge dash. Think bitters; you dash those.

You would be surprised how refteshing it is. The vermouth and elderflower liqueur really cut through the potentency

So I made this as directed. Little too much Black Licorice taste for my personal opinion. Still interesting drink overall. I would double the Gin amount to balance out the Absinthe.

Whenever you start making cocktails again -- and we hope it is soon -- why not have a Sacarac contest? As you know, some people make a Sacarac with rye. Others make it with cognac. Why not make both and see which you prefer?

Nice outfit, you make it look Devine.

So rare to see someone take a whiff of a bottle of Absinthe and react so positively!

Nice! :)

What a lush.

Dash your heart out

After your exploits on the try channel where you take everything in your stride I reckon you could drink sulfuric acid and your reaction would be Oooh that's lovely and smooth !

I do not drink alcohol. All of my cocktails are virgins. My favorite is the mojito. My husband loves chelada's which I'm not sure if it's considered a cocktail.

That is a beautiful color next to your drinking chair, what is it?

Your sound set up is so much better than the one at Try

Nice cocktail... But that bottle is St-Germain liqueur ... You must make a St-Germain cocktail... Only fitting, you know... 😍
