    Music by DJ Quads: / every-morning
    ESPRESSO MARTINI COCKTAIL
    The espresso martini has been made hugely popular in recent years due to the addictive combination of coffee & vodka! Make sure you use cold drip coffee - coffee extracted with heat tends to go bitter when not used immediately. Cold drip makes a delicious and consistent Espresso Martini - every time!
    - 30mL Coffee Liqueur (1 oz)
    - 30mL Vodka (1 oz)
    - 30mL Coffee (1 oz)
    NEGRONI COCKTAIL
    This cocktail resembles the Americano (minus the soda and replaced with gin). Not to everyone's taste though I must admit - try easing into one by replacing the Campari with a less bitter Italian aperitif, Aperol - yum!
    - 30mL Gin (1 oz)
    - 30mL Sweet Vermouth (1 oz)
    - 30mL Campari (1 oz)
    APEROL SPRITZ COCKTAIL
    The Aperol Spritz is a popular summer drink! Aperol's grapefruit notes and subtle bitterness compliment the bubbly, sweeter style prosecco.
    - 90mL Prosecco (3 oz)
    - 60mL Aperol (2 oz)
    - 30mL Soda Water (1 oz)
    BROWN DERBY COCKTAIL
    The Brown Derby is somewhat of a bourbon whiskey based riff on a classic daiquiri. A big measure of bourbon is balanced with sweet honey syrup and sour and subtly bitter grapefruit juice. Named after the popular LA restaurant from the mid-20th century.
    - 60mL Bourbon Whiskey (2 oz)
    - 30mL Fresh Grapefruit Juice (1 oz)
    - 15mL Honey Syrup (1:1) (½ oz)
    BEES KNEES COCKTAIL
    The Bee's Knees cocktail recipe was invented out of necessity, hiding the poor quality homemade, bathtub cut gin that was prevalent during the prohibition-era. Nowadays, good quality gin is in abundance and this is a delicious, citrusy and honeyed gin cocktail.
    - 60mL Gin (2 oz)
    - 15mL Fresh Lemon Juice (½ oz)
    - 15mL Honey Syrup (1:1) (½ oz)
    MARGARITA COCKTAIL
    Tequila and especially margaritas are party drinks, so instead of serving them up in a stemmed Margarita glass, serve them up short on ice by following this simple simple 3-2-1 recipe.
    - 45mL Tequila (1½ oz)
    - 15mL Triple Sec (½ oz)
    - 30mL Fresh Lime Juice(1 oz)
    DAIQUIRI COCKTAIL
    The Daiquiri would have to be one of the most iconic classics. It was first created in the 1890's and Bacardi was first call. Originally the drink was served in a tall glass packed with ice.
    - 60mL White Rum (2 oz)
    - 22.5mL Fresh Lime Juice (¾ oz)
    - 22.5mL Sugar Syrup (¾ oz)
    GODFATHER COCKTAIL
    The original recipe of the Godfather calls for equal parts of Scotch Whisky and Amaretto which is quite sweet. I prefer to increase the Scotch Whisky to 45mL and drop the Amaretto to 15mL creating a less sweet and dryer Godfather recipe. Either way, the Amaretto will smooth and sweeten the whisky into a velvety smooth and tasty stirred drink.
    - 45mL Scotch Whisky (1½ oz)
    - 15mL Amaretto (½ oz)
    MANHATTAN COCKTAIL
    - 60mL Rye whisky (2 oz)
    - 30mL Sweet Red Vermouth (1 oz)
    - 2-3 Dashes of Bitters
    BRANDY FLIP COCKTAIL
    The Brandy Flip is a simple, 3-ingredient cocktail with a rich flavour and creamy texture. The very first Flips emerged as early as the late 1600s - they were originally created with a mixture of sugar, eggs and spices being added to a tankard of ale before being heated with a red-hot iron poker from the fire. Now, a Flip commonly refers to a cocktail of fortified wine or spirit and whole egg sweetened with sugar.
    - 60mL Brandy (2 oz)
    - 30mL Simple Syrup (1:1) (1 oz)
    - Whole Egg

      I just watched your new video right after this one (CZcams recommended this video by the way) and yeah, I think the subtitles is definitely a nice touch. But that’s just me. Also, I was wondering as I watched these two videos back to back. What happens to all the drinks when you make multiple in one video?

      Except when he constantly does 22.5ml pours which is a UK measurement where shots are 25ml single, 50ml double. Personally it really annoys me when he does 22.5ml shots because it’s so impractical for beginner at hone Australian bartenders

      Ps where I live we don't consider aperol spritz a "real cocktail" and it's really common seeing people drink it at every time of the day, even in the morning before lunch. And here the price for Spritz (not only the aperol one) is a joke compared to other places, personally if I pay more than 3 euros for on I consider it a theft.

    You know what would make each one of these lovely cocktails even better? Having this charming gentleman making them for you personally. Has he ever posted at which bar he works? There are some mixologists who truly enjoy their work and enjoy sharing their knowledge. It makes the customer experience so much better.

    A new fan of yours. I so remember when I took my American Bartenders School final test way back in 1977 when I was 21, we also had to also make 10 drinks in 10 minutes. But we didn’t know which ones they were going to call out though. Also had to take a 50 question written test, half was recipes, the other half safety and sanitation questions, I passed and was a bartender for 8 years from 1977 to 1985 then I met my Husband at 29 and I didn’t feel comfortable being a bartender anymore, so many guys coming on to me when I worked, so I had to stop, not because he wanted me to, because by then I’ve just had it. I did not meet him where I worked at the time, our bar closed at 12 midnight, so for a night cap would go to the bar a block away till 2 am when they closed. The band there was awesome. He was the door man there and the rest is history. We have been together for over 35 years, married 27 years. I still like learning all the new drinks that you’ve shown me on here, combined with all those old standards I learned way back when which you have shown on here. Thank you for keeping it old school & new school. Do you have a Facebook profile? Mine is Anna Paul, I know more than one Anna Paul on Facebook, okay, I’m from sunny San Diego. Ca. I do have some dear friends who live in Hervey Bay in Australia. Thank you again. You have a great smile. Your new fan.

    I like how you can change the name of the drink simply by changing the kind of alcohol in a three ingredient cocktail.
    Daiquiri
    Gimlet
    Margarita
    Add mint
    Mojito
    Southside
    --
    Mint Julep
    Change the juice and you get
    Lemon:
    Tom Collins
    Whiskey/Tequila Sour
    Lemon Drop
    Grapefruit:
    Paloma
    Simple cocktails are the best.

    This is such a nicely made video, think the CZcams algorithm knocked it out of the park on this one. Wonder if the bartender’s ever heard to crack on egg on a flat surface rather than the rim? Keep up the nice work

    • @StevetheBartender_
      @StevetheBartender_  Před 5 lety

      Yeah - YT seems to really like this one!! Most of my videos are much shorter and the watch time on this video is still consistent.
      I have heard that it reduces the chance of egg shell in the drink cracking it on a flat surface but I don’t seem to have any hassles this way. Definitely wouldn’t recommend trying it on a tin - the thinner steel puts shell everywhere but fortunately the Boston glass has a ‘softer’ edge.

If you read this, do you (or anyone else for that matter) have a recommendation for a good whiskey to try if I wanna dive into the world of the smokey, woody, more complicated whiskeys?

    Great Video! Surprised you were able to decide on 10. I foresee you doing a second series as I predict this will be well received. These recipes are simple, not too expensive and as a bonus can be have differing flavour profiles by changing the brand or the aged of the spirit(s) used. (spiced rum in the daiquiri....)
