Totally agree!!!! Everything I've always thought as a bartender there confirming lol😅

Omg. I can only say that I really hope Leandro is more like this in Barfly's channel. It might not fall well with some people but I loved it in this video because it isnt just funny but he also explains his anger very correctly and rationally

I've learned so much from you two guys in the last few years. Thank you. both.

The Ground Round reference was incredible.

Completely agree on both Campari and Crème de Violette. First tastes of each were a bit too much for me, but now the Enzoni and the Aviation are two of my favorite cocktails. By the way, if anyone wants to keep their Aviation nice and purple, use Empress 1908 gin. I keep a bottle of that on hand pretty much just for making an Aviation.

Someone mentioned stirring instead of shaking an aviation. It keeps the color and tastes better, imo.

Pisco Sour, Underrated.

I appreciate Leandro’s take on the Paloma. Still love me a mojito though ;)

This was great. If you guys ever find yourselves in a position to collab again, please do.

You bet! Im always down 😁🙏 in September we're talking about possibly doing something together actually.

Your Havana Club sponsorship idea is a good one, but it would violate the US sanctions on Cuba and OFAC is unlikely to grant a request for a specific license.

So good to see you two together!! High level cocktail discussion for sure! 🤗

While I totally disagree on the neat whisky comment, this was a good conversation.

Fantastic conversation…… You guys were pounding the top of the nail for me withso many of your comments. The “Pina Colada”, …….for years the only place it seemed I could get a good one was in Hawaii, same goes for a Mai Tai. I was an avid scuba diver for years and travelled to all corners of the globe and could rarely ever find good tropical cocktails. It amazed me….. I searched for a decade to find good ones. Even though I was in tropical locals ! I really like Leo’s reasoning behind his mojito and it’s build. To allow for the cocktail to evolve as it is consumed a simple solution to give the patron an extra special experience, well done! One final comment…..back in the day and to this day….a vacation to a place with a well made cocktail…..makes that destination!!!

Two of my favorites together! Lots of fun!

Wooooo! So happy to hear that 😁🙏

Two years ago I was at my high school reunion at a country club. I had to tell the bartender how to make an old fashioned

A Paloma done right, is amazing. The average paloma is good. I can’t find a paloma like the ones I make at home. I have learn a lot from this channel and spoiled me. Now I can’t enjoy 90% of the drinks at my local bars.

Great conversation. (On the Aviation, I cut the creme de violette down to 1/8 of an ounce for a 3 ounce build, or 1/2 of a teaspoon for a 2 ounce build. With simple syrup to add sweetness.)

Man Leandro led Luis talk too! Lol it was great to see you two collab. Love both your channels

Now that was fun! I'd love to sit and drink with both of you (together or one at a time), because you guys are passionate as well as experienced and knowledgeable. Without passion, what's the point? Anyway, that was a very enjoyable videos to watch, and I learned a few things! Enjoy the heck out of your time in Italy, congratulations on your pending nuptials, and Salute! And, if you want honest reviews of a bunch of great restaurants throughout Northern Italy, let me know (I spent five weeks there last year).

The calaboration I didn't know I needed. Leandro and creators like Lui helped get me through covid. I always wanted to learn how to make cocktails at home but was always intimated by it. @theeducatedbarfly was the first channel I found that really explained cocktail creation in a fun but educational way. He also led me to other great bartending channels like Lui's. Well done boys. Your passion is contagious.

Leandros awesome. If you haven't check out his channel @theeducatedbarfly I highly recommend it!

I would argue a specific use of soda water is to create a huge and stable foam when added to a vigorously emulsified solution of protein, fat, and an acid (I.e. cream, lemon, and egg white in a Ramos).

Nice episode. Hope you guys get your sponsored trip to Cuba. BTW - Congratulations on the upcoming Nuptials. I will raise a glass of Fortaleza to you and your bride.

I think a lot of people are reacting to the maraschino rather than the violet in an aviation

How does the average person argue against ppl like this!??? If I had someone break down how the Mojito was suppose to taste like then that’s how I’m doin it from now on!!! Great job you two!!! 👏👏👏

Wow! A minute in and YES I use the old fashioned sometimes to gauge the quality of the cocktail makers in a new cocktail joint I'm visiting. I even give bonus points if they use low grade maple syrup as a short cut in time.

Leandro bemoaned traditionalism when saying that a Paloma doesn’t need to be made with Squirt, but then a few moments later said you’re not making a real Manhattan unless it’s with rye. Why is that not “traditionalism”?

@CarlosSempereChen

10 ай бұрын

He rebalances recipes all the time. But changing the underlying flavors is a larger step… probably one that calls for a new name but also some attempt to rebalance the drink now that it’s sweeter and lacking some of that spiciness from the rye.

Like a Colada, but enjoy a Pusser's Painkiller or a Batida even more!!

@Lui_Fern

Batidas are my shit!

Cream of coconut meaning sugar doesn't bug me, creme de x means sugary liquor (e.g. creme de cacao, violette, cassis). So cream of coconut meaning sugary coconut cream doesn't feel too out there.

Two worlds colliding.

Hearing Leandro going scorched earth 🌎 😳 on some of these cocktail concepts has my palms sweating. I feel like someone from the cocktail C.I.A is going to black bag him and drag him away.

i make my palomas the way leandro does it and its a crowd pleaser everytime. sticking with squirt+tequila simply because of tradition is hilarious to me. I will enjoy my shaken caipirinhas and traditionalists can go heck themselves

For the first time ever I might have to disagree with Leandro. Assuming he worked with the pouring with hearts conglomérate in LA, in seven grand they have a sign on how to enjoy whiskey. Neat, on the rocks, with water, in a sour etc. now he said that people who should drink scotch neat with no water added to lengthen it don’t know what they’re talking about. There I have to disagree because it all depends what you’re going for. Me personally I love islay scotch example laphroig. Laphroig has its original 10 year, but also has their cask strength expression. The distillery already has a proofed down expression with water already added. In my personal experience why would I want to add water if you enjoy the robust raw uncut flavor of the whiskey. It’s like for me I love George T stagg, being barrel proof it almost feels like I’d disrespect it by adding water to it. If I want something more mellow I’d probably go down the rabbit hole of mash bill 1 from Buffalo trace and do eh Taylor or eagle rare. Just how I saw it. Great discussion!

@rebelshopblue

So let’s talk about the way to enjoy whiskey and what I said. In reality what I said was those people who tell anyone that using soda water to lengthen an expensive whiskey is ruining it are the people who don’t know what they’re talking about. The edit was a little misleading in this detail but I l stand by what i said. The fact remains that the more you lengthen the flavors with club soda the more your brain can pick up on complexities. That said I don’t think there’s anything wrong with drinking whiskey neat or on the rocks. Not all whiskies benefit from dilution because many aren’t super complex. The point is that drinking a properly made whiskey highball is no disrespect to the whiskey. That is the contention of rookies

Pina Colada with dark rum thank me later
