Great video. Vermouth and tonic or vermouth and soda is great to use up vermouth for a nice light drink. Classic one is

Vermouth and soda sounds fun, but these vermouth cocktails sound right up my alley! Thanks Stephane!
Sweet vermouth is pretty good by itself and easy to get through a bunch of it that way.
I’ve been having vermouth on the rocks with a twist, so we agree!
I love how a comparatively simple cocktail lends itself to so much experimentation.
You said it! It’s the fun part for sure!
Aunt Susan can help you use your sweet vermouth. The Battle for New Orleans: Vieux Carre v Creole Cocktail (Amer Picon sub) v La Loisianne.
Oh yeah! I’ve been thinking of doing that video. I think you mentioned it before. Time to make it happen I think!
I’ve been a huge fan of the bonsoni cocktail lately: 2oz sweet vermouth, 1/2 oz fernet plus a little water if your ice is dry. It has just the right menthol finish to counteract the sweetness of the vermouth.
The specs above are from Diffords. I just looked in cocktail virgin and his has sweet vermouth, pint e mes, fernet and a dash of Cynar. I guess I need some punt e mes…
Love love love Fernet! Give the Toronto a try! Cheers! 🙂
Stephane suggested something similar, sounds like a winner to me, I’m going to try it out!
By coincidence, I just picked up my first bottle of Old Forester 100, which is *ridiculous* bang for the buck.
Oh my gosh it sure is! I’ve really been enjoying it.
They're all fun!
They are! It’s a big topic!
I used to do a lot of work in the fortified wine category. I really need to play around with it a bit more in the new year. Good stuff Pete.
There are SO many more options these days, its really amazing.
Hey Uncle Pete! Try out the Jitterbug, a low abv cocktail that has become one of my go-to as of late.
1oz sweet vermouth
1.5 oz espresso (I use 2 oz of pour-over coffee instead)
.5 oz fernet
.5oz simple syrup (.25oz if 2:1)
2-3 dashes orange bitters
Serve in a collins glass over ice. Garnish with some grated nutmeg!
Ooh that sounds like a fun brunch drink! I'll give it a go!
PETE!!! This was awesome!! This video reminds me of why I LOVE home bartending!! Trying crazy complex/bitter/sweet things are so cool to me, especially when you try to explain how it tastes!!! I WILL be making that Meat hook!!! CHEERS to you!!!
Meat Hook is so fun! I really think you would love it, seems right up your alley TBH!
@@UnclePete I will give a full report!!!
@@UnclePete PETE!!! That Meat Hook was awesome!! Smoky, cherries, a little malt and baking spices is def what I taste!! The sweetness was an unexpected treat to go along with the peat!!!!
So glad you liked it!
I love the variation and the variation on the variation! The traditional Manhattan is my absolute favourite and the Brooklyn is right behind it but I love all of the riffs! Punt E Mes is a fabulous switch up! I love really dry, herbaceous cocktails and I usually use a 100% punchy rye. The Ardbeg is fabulous and Ardbeg is a huge love of mine! Single malts are spectacular and what a terrific cocktail to use the Wee Beestie in! Rye and smoky scotch are outstanding and soooooo delicious!! :-) I might skip the maraschino - smoky, dry is for me but we all get to have cocktails as we love them!! Dr, smoky, herbaceous - bliss! Single malts are my thing right now for the fall and of course Manhattans and all the spectacular riffs!! Lagavulin and Ardbeg expressions are huge faves!! Awesome video Pete! Cheers! 🙂
Thanks Christine! I found the Meat hook variant to be super delicious, but the maraschino was key to balance it out. Give it a try I say! Cheers!
I will absolutely give the maraschino a good delicious try!! Sounds like it absolutely makes this riff delectable!! I love that! I will make these tonight Pete! My husband will adore the Meat Hook and I think I will too!! Isn’t is amazing how many fabulous riffs can be created from one spectacular cocktail?!! That is so cool!! Hope u r having a super awesome day!! Portland in the fall is lovely and pretty close to Vancouver!! Cheers friend!
Cheers!!
CHRISTINE!!! That Meat hook looks AWESOME!! You know I'm trying that!!! Right up our alley!!! CHEERS to you!!!

Another great video. While I love the content, I love your cinematography and the voice over tasting video that changes to the voice video. Smooth! As for Manhattan variations, I love the Preakness, but my favorite is the “Cease and Desist” from “Cure: New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘em” cocktail book and the bar in New Orleans. A reverse Manhattan variation, I treat as a low-ABV cocktail to have in between regular cocktails to extend the evening without too much pain.
2 oz Punt e Mes
1 oz Rye (I love Rittenhouse, but Sazerac would be classic New Orleans, and I also love Old Fo Rye)
1 barspoon Fernet Branca
Combine all ingredients into mixing glass, add ice, stir. Strain into chilled Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with orange peel.
Ok first off that is some quality POSITIVE FEEDBACK! Thanks you so much!
Second, I have that book! I think there are a lot of reverse manhattan type drinks in there, this one sounds great, AND I have PeM right now so I am going to try it. maybe even make a vid.
Third, I don't think I've made a Preakness, so I'll have to check that out as well.
Cheers Rob!
Made Cease and Desist last night, very nice lowABV drink, though I think I might put in more fernet next time. thanks for the tip!
I’ll try that as well!
Nice video! Loved the vermouth comparison and the 2 Red Hooks. I had not heard of the Meat Hook, going to have to make that one!
I really liked it! Definitely a bold combo!
I made a Meat Hook tonight. It was GREAT. Thanks for featuring it!
My Pleasure!
Pete! These look delicious. Out of Pun e Mes atm, but have read that in a pinch, 2:1 sweet vermouth:Averna makes an acceptable sub. Ever heard of / tried that? (or another sub using sweet vermouth + amaro, the latter of which I have MANY)
Thanks! I am not familiar with that hack, but it seems reasonable. campari or cynar might also work. seems like it would be worth a try at least!
Been forever since I've had Punt E Mes, but wow does a Red Hook sound like a great application for the OF Rye! Gotta wonder, given your 50/50 maraschino blend... how does it work with a 50/50 Dopo/E Mes blend?
Oh now that is a good idea! I will have to try that!
Maraschino is good but it can overpower - any thoughts on just a dab of syrup to sweeten up the drinks?
I usually forget that I can just drink Vermouth neat and it sits in the fridge corner until it’s no good and 1/2 a bottle is left.
Obviously there is no rule! Maraschino will add that little funk as well, but you should try it with Simple, and see how you like it!
