Can we get a Freepour video of you testing the mint Shake theory? 1 muddled too hard 1 muddled correctly 1 just shaken Blind taste test then to see if you can actually see the difference.

I saw a video of Japanese bartender making his riff on a Mojito, and he added the ingredients to a small blender, and blended without ice or muddling. The cocktail took on a faint green color, and the leaves that were filtered out looked more cut than muddled. I'm also interested what that would do.

Yeah, I always wonder about this supposed wisdom, too. Like... how does shaking the mint with ice *not* "bruise" it? The argument might be that the mint is then cold or submerged in liquid and thus not oxidizing or something, but I don't buy it. Blind tests are the way to go. 😁

Marius didn't chuckle, but Leandro wasn't shaken. I would have been crushed.

As a person who loves a Mojito (so, a person) but my favourite spirit is gin, my favourite Mojito variation (or rather a Southside Fizz variation) is gin, lime, sugar and mint lengthened with tonic rather than soda. Strongly recommend.

Enjoyed a south side fizz at The Sixth in Chicago where they made a south side and then carbonated the whole drink. Highly recommend.

I don't know the Soho house, but to me, the Eastern Standard just seems like a good way to charge more for less cocktail at a fancy bar for celebrities.

Actually it is a REALLY good cocktail. Simple doesn't mean bad. Personally It is my choice. It is a mint-cucumber-lime-gin cocktail. Fresh and flavourful.

I really like this format. Brief description of a classic drink, then variations of that drink.

Since you love requests, one of my favorite bars is in Boise, ID. The Bardenay. They are a distillery/bar/restaurant. I would love to see you make and try the Arnaud. Bardenay gin, Bardenay Cassis (black currant) liqueur, Noilly Prat dry vermouth, orange twist. Shaken over ice and served up.

The return of the metal shake can only be described as "triumphant."

I love this! Like a lot of people, I'm sure, the gimlet got me into gin and now I've converted my whole family so I love trying variations for them.

I’ve been a Gimlet fiend for a long time, Good Stuff Maynard!

Have to say, really appreciate the volume of content you guys are putting put, perfect balance.

I really liked this episode. It was interesting to see variations of a drink made and tasted and compared side by side. I feel like this comparison video taught me more about the nuances compared to videos showing a single drink being made and tasted.

Thanks for all the videos. Very informative and entertaining

I did some math and figured out the Eastern Standard that doesn't use such weird measurements and makes it slightly more voluminous. I went by percentages and the gin and simple are off by 1% but I can't imagine that would change it too much * 2oz Gin * 1/2oz Lime Juice * 3/8oz Simple Syrup 8-10 mint leaves 3 slices of cucumber Mint leaf garnish

Love these drinks! I make a morph of the southside and eastside that uses both cucumber and mint (and a tsp of grenadine) to make what I call a southeast side. these are delicious cocktails - thanks guys!

Great video!!!! I'd like a taste of each of these!!!! I love gin and cucumber!! CHEERS!!!!!

The Southside has been our friend-circle favorite for sometime now...great drink! I'm looking forward to trying the others now.

A good experiment would be to try this with and without the light muddle then blind taste.

A nice exploration of some similar drinks

Hit me with the history, love it

Need to make a mint experiment video in the future to see if there's a difference in flavor. Shaking, slapping, stirring etc

I like those new Beefeater bottles. They are great for people like me with small hands. Those indents in the side really help me grip the bottle.

Happy to witness the return of the metal shake!

I showed the title of this video to my doctor, he said it's the fluid that's been seeping from my liver into my abdominal cavity ever since I found this channel.

I will be making one or all of these!

Wait....this isn't Tiki!! Kidding. Definitely going to do a side by side of these. Sounds like fun.

Other countries: *Count in ml, cl, dl, l, etc.* The US: "So uh, add 1.666˙ fluid ounces of this and 0.416˙ fluid ounces of that, please."

I like to spank the mint even going into the tin because customers sitting at the bar get to enjoy the aroma too.

I feel like a natural middle ground could be reached for the Eastside vs. Eastern Standard, without having to resort to the non-traditional measurements. Something like: * Scant 2 oz gin * 1/2 oz lime juice * 1/4 oz rich simple * 10-12 mint leaves * 3-4 cucumber slices I've always found Sours that de-emphasize the citrus and sweetener compared to the base spirit to be interesting. The Casino and the S'Walter are a couple other examples in that vein.

The south side sounds very interesting. Sort of like a gimlet and a julep combined.

I'd imagine the Eastern Standard was originally made with either a metric measuring cup or a 50/25ml jigger (or even a 40/20ml)?

@chrisdimal9869

11 ай бұрын

You're absolutely correct. It makes sense with the 50/25 jigger. Simon Difford (the founder of Difford's Guide) uses something called the 'Easy Jigger' which has every measurement imaginable printed on it (at the cost of aesthetics, unfortunately, looks like something you'd find in a lab).

Have you tried the Morgenthaller lime cordial recipe? I learned it from HTD and now I keep a bottle of it around basically constantly.

Have you ever used essential oils (edible grade of course) in cocktails? I tried to use mint essential oil on a tiki drink, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Believe it or not, but the "metal shake" technique actually gives the very best result, it is subtle but crucial.

The Eastern Standard seems like a bartender troll thing. “I’m just going to screw with people for fun”

I can't believe fractions are your kryptonite. 5/12 is halfway between 1/3 (4/12) and 1/2 (6/12). Super easy, Leandro! Super easy!

Regarding the topic of not muddling, and letting the ice bruise the mint to extract the oils. Oils are typically sensitive to cold. I would think if you skip muddling, the could would cause the oils to seize up. Guessing the cold mint wouldn't offer as much oil as muddling would extract.

Eastside is another good one to add to the list of gin cocktails to offer to girls that are hesitant to try gin.

Gimlets are great, Great comparison

The third version, is actually the measures that we use in the UK to make these drinks

I tried that before shaking hard with mints, you can taste vegetal flavor but not a problem. However, everyone drinks it 😅😅

Anna's garden gin makes for a great east side.

For my Gimlets I use basil instead of mint, I just think basil and gin are made for each other

Do you have a link for the middle glass. I love them!

Man that eastside is delicious.

I like this format of video quite a bit, I think the background music could be lowered though

A little humility, a little metal shake. Today is a good day.

Lowest common multiple - 1/3 and 5/12 - 10 ml for 1/3 and 12,5 ml for 5/12

Can't tell the difference between over-muddled and hard shaken mint vs lightly muddled and delicately shaken mint? I smell a Freepour science experiment!

Metal shake 🤘🏽

to be honest, looking through all the cocktail recipes ever since i started hobby mixology at home, i felt oversatured on all the gin, lime, mint and cucumber variations. i mean, the eastside and sam ross' old maid cocktail are identical as far as i can tell (same specs, served in a rocks instead of a coupe). in the ende i settled for the violet hours' juliet & romeo as it takes the eastside and adds some rose water to it, and i love rose water!
