Is the DIY chartreuse in the works still?

2:39 Don't just use the leafs, take the stems as well (as long as they're not wooden). This is where the aroma and most important the color comes in.

I've been watching and appreciating your videos for a long time, but lately this channel has turned from great to amazing! Keep it up, I can't wait for more outstanding recipes!

Thank you so much! That really means a lot! :) CHeers!

The first time I made a Gin Basil Smash, I used "fresh" basil from the grocery store, and I thought it was a pretty good drink. Later, I was growing basil in a planter, and I used that. The difference was amazing. This may be the same type of wisdom as "water is wet," but the Gin Basil Smash is on a whole new level if you are able to set things up so that you can pick the basil leaves right before making the drink. Of course, this makes it a seasonal drink for the hottest part of the summer, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Gin Mare is FANTASTIC in this drink too! Love this modern classic!

The Gin Basil Smash has quickly become one of my favorite drinks, and this tutorial provides a fantastic guide to mastering it, along with some exciting variations.

The Savoy Garden looks amazing! That's the 1st time I've seen that pineapple juice foam trick. I must try to make it soon. Also your milk liqueur episode is inspirational too. Excellent work!

Thank you Deborah! Cheers!

In the bar i worked at, we added ~5 slices ginger and used lemon grass infused gin

i've made your Savoy Garden with Gin Mare Capri, because of the bergamot flavour of this gin. Used Berto Bitter instead of Campari. It was amazing. Thank you for your effort your selection of cocktails is very well prepered and presented. Thank you

Excellent work. I'm also a long-time bartender and cocktail enthusiast that's made riffs on this drink. I love glasses for the original version.

those blue glass bottles are beautiful. Would have loved to see that carry through into the drink glass you chose for your drink. Colored glassware really transport me to another era.

What a great Episode again! Thank you for the recipes! Surely gonna try them all, especially the pineapple & campari foam could suit a Mai Tai for example too! 🤔 Only one way to find out 🤪

Congratulations! very smart cocktail, i love junglebirds

I love the Green Park so much!! I personal make a twist on this cocktail I use sweet thai basil isntead of italian basil and I put a litte bit of lemongras in the shaker before muddling. I call it Lumphini Park and it is so nice you should try.

Nice! I've only used Basil in drinks by making Basilcello (like Limoncello - but with basil) and it's got a terrific and interesting flavor. I'd be interested to see how one of these would turn out by using liquid nitrogen to freeze the basil prior to muddling - I imagine it would be brighter basil flavor with less bitter components (similar to using liquid nitrogen for a mojito - shatters the leaf vs. smashing the cell walls which can release bitter components). We typically grow 4-5 different types of basil in our garden .. this will be interesting to experiment with this summer.

I'll have to save these recipes for later, once my basil starts coming on strong from my garden. I did a bourbon basil smash last year that was really good! Cheers!

Yeah I saw that once in a old video about the cocktail. Isn't it funny how all the videos or articles about this cocktail, featuring Erick himself, share different recipes. Old Tom gin vs Tanqueray Ten, Muddled / No muddle, Garnish no garnish...

First things first: Love the Video ☺️ Great content as usual! Please keep it up! Two things: (1) Could you incorporate the amount of liquids that you use in the cocktails on the side of the videos? I feel like it's a nice visual addition especially when it comes to syrups. I know that you say it but I think it's just fits well to add it on the screen :) (2) Is the Italicus Bergamot liqueur the same liqueur that you also used in the Empress Lavender Honey Lemonade? I really want to replicate this drink but want to use the exact same ingredients! Greetings from the Netherlands and thanks 🍸

Hi In these cocktail can I use the grey goose vodka!??

Is basil washing the gin like you did with the mint also possible and because of the amount of Basil in the smash vs mint in a mojito would you add more basil weight to the wash?

Can you post the link for the coupe glasses used for the Green Park version?

Same question!

Hi there....where did you bought your shaker from... Is that 18/28 oz... Let me know please.

YESSSSS!!!!===========>First in!!!

Went with #2; however wanted to go with #3. Sadly I cannot make cocktails that have Italicus in the spec's. Live in a city of 1.3 million...no Italicus ☹️ Would love to know an alternative, or better yet ... A home version of rosolio di bergamotto. (HINT)

That shot of the campari and pineapple foam being placed on the drink might be the most pornographic thing I've ever seen.

I had never heard of Rosolio or Bergamot liqueur. I've been looking on-line to see if it is sold anywhere here in Quebec. No luck :( I love bergamote and would love to try it. In the mean-time, is there anything that would come anywhere close as a substitute?

@TrufflesOnTheRocks

Жыл бұрын

YEah well that's true, Italicus is not distributed yet in Quebec. I heard it was coming though so keep the faith LOL In the meantime, you might be lucky with the company called "Bella Vita Grand Cru" which I believe import a bergamot liquor in private importation.

Hey Nancy, I just had a look and I was wrong. It's "G à la Deux" who imports liquor company with a bergamote liqueur in their line up. I'm not sure if they import that specific one but you could give it a shot. Here's their insta instagram.com/galadeux_/

Well I guess there’s different school of thoughts for this. Where I’m from, simple syrup is the definition of a syrup made of sugar and water but it doesn’t imply the ratio. Like I said it many times on the channel, when I don’t mention anything specific, that means I’m using my 1:1 simple and when I use a syrup with a different ratio, that’s when I specify. Hope this helps. CHEERS

"Too little could ruin the cocktail." So much nonsense. This is just a gimlet / gin sour with the addition of basil. Too little basil is just a delicious gimlet. In fact, i would argue that i could garnish a gimlet with a sprig of basil and get the same cocktail minus the color. The basil flavor mostly comes from the olfactory sense.
