I love how Don is more okay with telling random strangers about his life than actual family like his wife

@shrapnel77

Жыл бұрын

The show's creator, Matthew Weiner, said it himself: Don loves strangers because he is essential one himself. It's all throughout the series, especially the 7th season. The boy at the hotel he gives the car. Cooper telling him: "you like to play the stranger." The woman at the diner. Hilton was a stranger to him here. You almost always see him back off from people in the office when it comes to his life. When he finally opens up in a meeting, it is a disaster.

They are from a different world and they can't shake it, the world of self-made men come up from nothing. But even with everything they have made and have, they still make their own drinks. He's in the same room with Conrad Hilton and he doesn't even know who he really is and vice versa. They leave none the wiser.

First he was muddling the sugar cube which is why the soda made no sense, originally people used a splash of water instead of soda water but the entire purpose of either was to dissolve the sugar cube since sugar doesn't devolve to well in alcohol and bitters is mainly alcohol. I mean yes, use a splash of soda if you want to but put it in the glass to muddle the sugar with, not in the mixing glass with the whiskey! Most people don't even dissolve the sugar at all, they will do his method of muddling the sugar and bitters and let the ice slowly dissolve it as the drink warms up but putting the soda in with the whiskey... that is a newbie mistake.

+benjo0101 As a Wisconsinite, we use Brandy. I've had a few Whiskey ones and I can't imagine walking into a bar, ordering an Old Fashioned, and getting one with Whiskey. They are much better with Brandy.

One of the show's most beautifully crafted scenes

Don Draper drank Old Fashions because he'd never had Foundation Room's Father Figure. Learn how to make the classic whisky drink here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpiu27egh62ykrw.html

Can you imagine meeting THE Conrad HILTON,, like that ?? holy smokes . the Actor even looks a little like him .

Loved every scene with Draper and Hilton , the best one was when Don got a standing ovation from them team when Conrad visited him

never watched the show but based on this scene alone i can tell why it has such a legendary status.

What a great line”It’s different inside.”

Thanks for posting this clip. Chelcie Ross is a terrific character actor with a great resume. His performances capture the character whether he is portraying Dan Devine in the film Rudy or as Connie Hilton on MM.

my favorite scene out of all 7 seasons

The more context you learn about this scene, the more compelling it becomes.

I love the verbal fencing between them. That exchange of "service always this good around here/you're not a member either" as they size each other up is spot on

You can tell Don has worked behind a bar, he made sure the label always faced out

This scene should be shown to every high school kid. This is how you behave in polite society as you never know who you will meet. Treat people with respect, provide good conversation, be rational and interesting without showing off. Relate to someone and demonstrate you are a professional at whatever you do and have a decent sense of humor. You will go farther.

There’s way more to him jumping over the bar, then just walking around than people realize.

I like how he tells his true background story to Hilton, and simultaneously he jumps over the bar and is still the one left behind it when Connie Hilton leaves. It shows how he was stuck, an undeveloping character wrought in trauma, regardless of how the ruling class brought him to their heights as regalia.

Since Don always has an angle, I always wondered if he made that story up just to put the guy at ease since he smelled money which is always opportunity.

Old-fashioned was first described in 1806, fell out of fashion in the 1860s, made a resurgence with prohibition, and has been the most popular cocktail served in bars around the world since 1918. It was absolutely common and known to bartenders during every single decade of the 20th century.

How does this comment have so many likes? The Old Fashioned has been around since the early 1800s. Of course over the decades different whiskeys and bourbons were thrown in and out but it was definitely well known in the 60s. Why do you think they are both looking to make one? Even as old as this man is it was popular before he was even born.

​@drewv6852 wrong. old fashioned were dead for over 3 decades starting late 70s, 80s. 90s 00s and have come back recently. Everyone knows this.

just a couple observations over all the Old Fashioned discussion - the first thing he puts in the glasses is sugar cubes, original recipe does not call for orange bitters, I have two bartending guides from the 60s and both call for a splash of soda (sometimes optional) - yes, he adds a little too much soda but otherwise the drink is period correct, other than he had to use rye and the original always called for bourbon

@sxrxrnrvigil

7 жыл бұрын

George Jasper You're supposed to use the splash of soda to dissolve the sugar cube since sugar doesn't dissolve in alcohol well and bitters is mainly alcohol. I prefer to use a splash of water instead of soda to dissolve the sugar and stir the drink less to give it equal dilution, that is of course if the bar I'm working at doesn't have simple syrup and I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, there are plenty of people who would send the drink back if you make it the way he did. As for orange bitters it certainly isn't required but it improves the taste especially since most people put an orange twist in the drink (I usually use a mix of Angostura bitters and orange bitters) and if I'm not mistaken the original recipe does in fact call for rye whiskey but as with most drinks it is a preference and many people do like it with bourbon, hell I've served brandy old fashions!

George Jasper I did a bit more research a few days after this post, from what I gathered an original "old fashion" wasn't actually a recipe as much as a way to prepare a drink. I can't remember the year but a long time ago the original mixed drinks were simply bitters, sugar and a spirit of choice. After a while, people started creating different drink recipes so people would place an order like "I would like a whiskey mixed drinks prepared the old fashioned way". Even then it was very common for someone to order rum, whiskey, brandy and even tequila old fashions. Eventually the drink was simply named the old fashion and it became a whiskey drink simply because that was the overwhelmingly most popular spirit people ordered for an old fashion. People still like to use different spirits for an old fashion, I have seen KZread ads for rum old fashions even recently. And thanks for the tip about brandy old fashions, I still occasionally get asked for one so now I know to ask them if they are from Wisconsin, small talk tips like that are invaluable in this line of work.
