We're diving down into the cocktail depths once again to make three variations on a beloved classic cocktail. Since the popularity of cocktails skyrocketed, bartenders have been taking old obscure drinks and recreating them. The problem with old cocktails though is that they catered to an audience whose culinary tastes were much different than the modern drinker. So, these enterprising bartenders took those classic and reformulated them for the modern pallet. Many Many bar programs have been based on this simple and winning solution and as such have revived some really problematic classics into very nice drinks. So today, we're going to make three different versions of the Scofflaw cocktail. The Original, A modern interpretation commonly used and then the Death And Company version which is a ground up rebuild. Which one is best? Only one way to find out!
Also, NYC Bartender Brian Tasch (formerly of Pouring Ribbons) has written a fantastic article on this which is on our website so here's a link for those of you so inclined. Also be sure to check out Brian's Blog Corpse Revived for some amazing deep dives into cocktail technique and theory. Here’s a link: www.corpserevived.com

Hey guys! So either the orange bitters in the recipe didn’t make it into the edit or I didn’t add them when making this drink (accidents do happen) so make sure to add a dash of orange bitters when recreating the recipes :)

In the Scoff-Law recipe Recipe in "Cafe Royal Cocktail Book", the "1/3 Whisky, 1/3 Dry Vermouth, 1/6 Lemon, 1/6 Grenadine" DOES NOT mean "1/3 oz Whisky" - they are PROPORTIONS adding up to a whole (1/3+1/3+1/6+1/6=1 whole). You are expected to scale this. So, for example, 1 oz Whisky + 1 oz Dry Vermouth + 1/2 oz Lemon +1/2 oz Grenadine = ONE 3 oz drink, which matches the proportions.

Just made this drink after finding it in Death &CO’s modern classics book. So damn good. Normally that much grenadine overpowers a drink but in this drink it works.

Loads better is subjective. For me you can't beat the proper Sazerac. Sugar cube splash of water 5-6 dashes of peychauds 2 oz of sazerac or old overholt rye rinse the glass with herbsaint express the lemon peel garnish over the finished drink. Perfection.
European (or metric system country) bartenders normally use 50ml/25ml and 40ml/20ml jiggers. If you need a half ounce pour, you can use a 15ml measuring spoon (metric table spoon).
Loved the magic of editing bit. I’d love to see more death and co deconstruction / comparison etc videos.
I thought an ounce was 30 ml, so 2/3 would mean 20 ml instead of the 10 ml shown on screen?

It's your tiny tins you're using. I have an "Anders jigger" and it works on mine. LOL! Thanks for another great video, I always learn something from you.
Great review of both versions. Its definitely worth try these versions side by side .
I just made the contemporary version with Wild Turkey 101 Rye. It’s amazing!!! Thanks for the video.
Made a version of the original Scofflaw because I realised I had the right ingredients for it - although I substitued the orange bitters for angostora because that's all I had - absolutely adored it.
Another great video. You guys forgot to put the thumbnail of the death and company Scofflaw. Keep up the great work.
Just a note - in the first recipe at least (haven't watched further yet) you have identified 2/3 oz. as 10 ml, but to the best of my metric system knowledge, 2/3 oz. is actually 20 ml. Otherwise a great idea and wonderful video!
Fantasic as always. I am coming to LA in Spring 2023 from UK really hope it clashes with one of your live shows.

The original presidents used blanc vermouth. Comoz Blanc is close to that original recipe used, and I’d recommend that one.
Tell Marius I bought two of the honeycomb coupes. The Old Overholt red cap, non chill filtered 86 proof is awesome in a scofflaw.
It is always fun to watch your videos. Those honeycomb-shaped glasses look very nice. Are they avaiable in Europe aswell?
This was a fun one!
I bought the Barfly M37129 bitters bottle, the 4.4 oz bottle with the cork dasher. Do I double the bitters dashes with that too? Or is it only the Japanese style dashers?
I mainly use that oxo jigger and it does not fit well in my small tin but it fits in my big tin, I and I think Anders build our cocktails in the big tin.
I'll have to try the Death & Co version of the Scofflaw. The Scofflaw is a drink that I've made (according to the standard specs) in order to try it, but it hasn't made it to my short list. I like the idea of splitting the vermouth between dry and blanc. Dry vermouth seems to be a little overrated in cocktails, at least as far as my taste buds are concerned (to the point where maybe the only dry vermouth cocktail I really like is the occasional martini). In this cocktail, I think the dryness of the vermouth probably clashes with the oakiness of the rye whiskey. I might even go for splitting the vermouth between blanc and red vermouth, and eliminating the dry vermouth, even though that might lead into the dangerous territory of cocktail heresy.
@derschwartzadder
2 жыл бұрын
I'd say the blanc with sweet would be pretty sweet for anything, but i agree that dry vermouth is a bit overrated, even in a martini. I think I'd prefer just gin or dry vermouth by itself.
That Basil Hayden is high rye bourbon, but it’s not rye. They only have two ryes, the Caribbean rye and the dark rye which are rye whiskey that have rum and port blended in respectively
I'm curious what it would do to go sweet vermouth instead of blanco, if it would meld the grenadine and vanilla spice notes of the rye.
That's one thing we don't typically see.... modern takes on tiki drinks. Yes there are modern bartenders doing riffs on tiki drinks, but to actually do the anatomy of tiki cocktail and remake it.
I understand the 'tastes green' impression. It's how I describe Jalapenos. They're the least interesting chile to me, because they're just sort of 'spicy green' in flavor.
I need you to create a cocktail called the Hooch-Sniper!
The blanc vermouth i imagine is bringing some more sugar and body that is providing better balance
Glad to see CorpseRevived get a shout out! Great site.
Hi, can I ask you an advise? I'm making an homemade Laurel liqueur because I want to prepare a cocktail with it but I don't know what other ingredients I need to use, have you any advise for me?

I make a scofflaw for my wife almost every day.
Your basic Canadian club is a pretty weak whiskey in general so I'm not super surprised it could be overpowered by vermouth. As far as I know, Canadian whiskey is often referred to as rye since it use to be predominantly rye. Now if you buy a basic bottle of CC or Alberta premium for example, there is very little rye used. There has been a recent resurgence of ryes in Canada like CC 100% rye and Alberta premium black horse.
Great video! There is a little music in the background that is really annoying though.. It give the feeling that something is bipping, rigging somewhere. A little useless too, as the most important is what you say.
Lest I get too enthralled with the outtakes... The rye certainly can make a difference in the cocktails, but I appreciate your initial attempt to recreate the age. Honestly, calling CC a rye today is a laugher, though supposedly rye-forward. And then the Bardstown might have elevated the last cocktail to over-the-top. Bourbon and rye drinks seem much easier to me, as opposed to tiki drinks, with the Vast number of different rums. Yeah, I'll stick with the middle-American drinks, and this one looks interesting...
Was that regular Canadian Club or Canadian Club Rye? If regular CC that would explain why the whiskey disappeared.
Does Shaker and Spoon do their cocktail boxes overseas? Specifically Australia?
Great video Leandro/Marius. However, surely 2/3oz is 20ml or is it 1/3oz (10ml) as on screen? And "down below" in the recipes, it says 1 dash Orange bitters in both Modern and D&C recipes but you didn't add any? Are they not supposed to have the bitters added like the Original? I don't want to screw up if trying these 3 by making them wrong :-(

The scientist in me just likes to hold as many things constant as possible, haha.
