I personally love cocktail videos that focus on the obscure ones out there. There’s hundreds of videos about manhattans and martinis and daiquiris etc so getting to see these lesser known cocktails that have their own history to them is really exciting
Believe it or not but most of the cocktails or their variations i make at home are always inspired by - You, Steve the Bartender and Anders. Keep churning up such fantastic videos! 🙂
100%
The name of the pirate is Jean Laffitte , pronounced La -Feet .
nola native, came here to say this :)
This!!
Yeah, I was sitting here thinking "I know NOLA pretty well but that doesn't sound like the name of any bar I've been to"...then he showed the picture and I realized Leonardo's French is somewhat lacking!
Really enjoy cocktails that you don’t hear about every day, makes the bartender at my local roll his eyes when I walk in😂
Don’t know how this flew under my radar. This is exactly the kind of video I love from this channel. I know the schlocky stuff trends better but I appreciate these deep cuts.
Steak Frites made a huge comeback a minute ago. Love to see how these things pop up or fade away.
LEANDRO!!! Most of the cocktails I've created qualify for the "D" list!!! I need to try that Widow's Kiss. Def my kind of cocktail!!! CHEERS!!!
I too wondered if the citrus expression during the pour did anything other than looking cool. You're doing the lord's work, Leandro.
I really dig that Pauline, never heard of it before. Jamaican rum is definitely the way to go. It's the star of the show and works surprisingly well with absinthe.
This is my favorite kind of cocktail video. So there’s my vote, for what it’s worth.
Call that lemon garnish a Sideshow Bob variety.
Widow's kiss is great! I garnish with a single mint leaf on top.
Great episode. Thanks for reviving some old classics.
threse are all exactly the style of cocktail i'm craving at the moment. perfect!
Fave of these was the Pauline - used Appleton 8 yr reserve and doubled the recipe to account for the small volume. *chef's kiss*
Another excellent video with some obscure cocktails - thanks, Leandro
The Obituary and Widow's Kiss were already on my list of drinks to make and try but I haven't heard of the Pauline until now. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!
Man, I cannot wait to make the Widow's Kiss, which I had not heard of before. Thank you!
Hi Leandro, thanks for these. I have made the Widows Kiss before but not noted brandy in the recipe.
Nick from York
I like seeing you make obscure cocktails I’ve never come across. A gin martini with absinthe? Brilliant! Also I’ve been making a lot of freezer door cocktails lately, like old fashioned’s, gin martini’s, and a white negroni even. Getting the ratios right to keep the abv up can get tricky as well as trying to keep the taste on point. I’d love to see some cocktails that can be batched and “frozen” from you, if possible.
amaizing cocktails we need more¡¡
Just made a Widow’s Kiss… really yummy! Thanks, guys!
Not to Hbomberguy you, but it’s really remarkable how all three of these cocktails happened to be covered by Al Culliton’s “The D List” column over on Punch. That said, this seems to almost certainly be a coincidence, since their Widow’s Kiss article showed how it fits into the Improved Cocktail category. Anyway, everyone who likes this video should go read Al’s writing!
Widow's kiss is truly underrated. Grate cocktail everybody should have in their repertoire!
One thing I would love to see is a comparison between the Apple Jack bottled and bond and the 86. I have both, among others. But when it comes to mixing them I've never done side by side comparisons to figure out which one is my go-to for which drink. Just saying I would tune in for that video...
Actually, the Obituary Cocktail sounds terrific, and one that I'll be trying out this weekend. Thanks for showcasing these obscure drinks!
Thanks for the Pauline recipe. Gives me a chance to finally put my absinthe atomizer and saline dropper to use! And I just happened to have a while nutmeg in the back of the cabinet 😅
The Pauline sounds delightful, I will definitely be making that one. The Widow's Kiss sounds good, but I think I'd be subbing Strega for the Yellow Chartreuse. Stirred drinks aren't usually my jam, and I'd hate to waste the real thing on a cocktail that I end up not liking.
I only knew the widow’s kiss, but now I absolutely need to try the other two as well 🤩
Widows kiss looks delicious!
Absinthe was banned in France until the mid-190ies. Since you can buy Absinthe in good retail stores.
The reason for Absinthe getting banned in France (and later almost everywhere else) was because it became very popular as a wine substitute during the grape famine when wine was super expensive. Problem was even after the famine ended, wine sells were low bcs people grew accustomed to Absinthe. So the wine magnates collaborated with various newspapers to push the idea that Absinthe made people mad and they banned it. 💀
It was the thujone that made it illegal cause of the way it interacts with wormwood but nowadays they have to keep the absinthe thujone-free (states) or like up to 25 mg in an entire bottle (Europe)
Gin and Rum!!! You Crazy boy! 😄
Widow's kiss is a great one
Marius will only be happy if we figure out a way to do non-euclidean lemon twists
The Pauline sounds really tasty.
Yes, it was enough jibber jabber at the 10 min mark. I yelled "just make the effing drink." 😅
A Daiquiri is never boring or old…..
And “technically,” while today’s applejack is not made this way, jacking (via Wikipedia) is not the same as distilling brandy from apples.
“The name applejack derives from the traditional method of producing the drink, jacking, which is the process of freezing fermented cider and then removing the ice, increasing the alcohol content. [1] Cider produced after the fall harvest was left outside during the winter. Periodically the frozen chunks of ice which had formed were removed, thus concentrating the unfrozen alcohol in the remaining liquid.[3] An alternative method involved placing a cask of hard cider in snow, allowing ice to form on the inside of the cask as the contents began to freeze, and then tapping the cask and pouring off the still-liquid portion of the contents. Starting with the fermented juice, with an alcohol content of less than ten percent, the concentrated result can contain 25-40% alcohol.[3] Because freeze distillation is a low-infrastructure method of production compared to evaporative distillation, and does not require the burning of firewood to create heat, hard cider and applejack were historically easier to produce,[3] though more expensive than grain alcohol.[12]
The disadvantage of freeze distillation, also called fractional crystallization, is that the substances remaining after the removal of the water include not only ethanol, but also harmful methanol, esters, aldehydes, and fusel alcohols.[13] In modern times, reducing methanol with the absorption of a molecular sieve is a practical method for production.[14]”
Where can I get that Nick & Nora you used for the Widow's Kiss?
It’s pronounced LaFEET; nice shout out to Nola!
Question: Is there really a difference between saline solution and salt? Is it just a matter of measurement precision? I often just do a like a quarter turn of a small salt grinder, and it enhances cocktails really well.
It's the same thing, one is liquid and the other is not. It's easier to get an exact dose with saline solution and dropper than a pinch of salt. But if the pinch works for you...
Hi!
I've seen and enjoyed many of your videos and I did my first ever cocktail (Strawberry Daiquiri from your video "4× Fraise Cocktails for Summer") not long ago and I reeeeally liked it. However, is there anything you could recommend that would dilute the drink a bit making the rum not taste as strong without upsetting the balance of the cocktail?
The obvious answer is to just have less rum in the drink but I don't want to lower the volume, in fact I'd like more "drink". Do you know of anything I could add to the recipe that would both increase the volume of the drink while still maintaining the balance of flavour?
I almost always just add more rum.
Try different types of rum with different flavor profiles
August Strindberg a swedish author living in the 19th century did enjoy absinth a little bit too much i guess.
He started to have mental health problems and thats probably because absinth are a very strong alcohol beverage.
I've never had Yellow chartreuse, and like everyone else cannot get a bottle.
Would subbing in green chartreuse work on the widows kiss? Or is too big of a departure?
The Widow's Kiss was featured in Ted Haigh's book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails. In it, he notes that green Chartreuse can be used but the yellow makes for a mellower drink. If you don't mind the extra intensity, I say go for it! The book's recipe also added a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters.
You can use Liquore Strega as a substitute for Yellow Chartreuse.
Добрый день. Было бы очень интересно видео от вас, про украшение коктейлей, способы, приёмы, цветочки, спирали и тд...
Ok I can do that! :)
No Lion's Tail?
I like the glass you served the widow‘s kiss in. Do you have a like for me, so I can order some?
2 drops of saline solution? I don't know what that does... Does Pauline wear contact lens? :-)
ITS LA FEET.
Not a dig but Lafitte is pronounced “Lafeet.”
La-feet
Lafatte is pronounced La FEET. 😅
