I've got a lemon in the fridge, some mint growing out front, and a bottle of Irish whiskey. I'll give it a go.
I think it works better with a bourbon (american whiskey), because their taste is less "strong"
But tell me if that resulted in something great
Bushmills Black Bush is excellent choice for old fashioned whisky cocktails. Allthough i agree: a good bourbon is the best mixer for cocktails out of all the whiskies. Makers Mark regular is the gold standard.
I made a few of these the other day, I’m hooked, that is all I drink now. Delicious!!!!
Just made a smash after your recipe, but used some nice peaty islay instead of bourbon. Obviuosly this tastes quite differently, but the recipe is really well balanced - the peat isn't too overwhelming. So cheers for the recipe!
A Sour Mint Julep...gotta try this for sure. Thx a lot, you´re channel is a great source of inspiration. Cheers!
Best cocktail I have made yet. Absolutely loved it!!
so.... coming from way out in the year of 2022. coming to this video I love seeing the difference. Your confidence has grown dramatically. You're happier in front of the camera. You bulked up and got more defined muscles for sure too. good job man. I even love the old stuff, mainly cause of those small details you love. it's 1:1 syrup and most times I need to be told that
Made it with irish whiskey as I'm in Ireland - amazing, many thank steve. One thing I did differently i cut a lemon in half, then put three wedges in and muddled it
This was awesome I made it for my friends they loved it ❤️
Wow this looks so tasty, gotta try that one soon!
nice and easy
thanks for the video!
Oh wow! that was so good!
Looking for a whisky recipe that works with what I have on hand today. I appreciate the way you get straight to the point and demonstrate technique in 2 1/2 minutes. I subscribed and will be looking to trying many of your 365 days of cocktails. Merry Christmas 2020
You can make a cocktail out of anything you like.
This looks delicious
For a big fan it is nice to go back. You needed more bourbon on this one. LOL PS. Ice and glass are interchangeable on youtube, and I won't comment about the glass. Cheers mate. Keep the every day videos coming I really look forward to them.
just made your mix..nice one steve!..shout out from melbourne!..cheers!
Awesome! I love a good Whiskey Smash - hope you enjoyed it.. Only a few minutes away from uploading today's video, a Sherry Cobbler!
What's next on your list to make?
This sounds good I'm going to make this on my CZcams channel called Roger alcohole review on wed I'll give u the crided for the idea
⭐Great for summer! TFS⭐
Try this subbing ginger syrup for simple syrup. It's amazing!
You can do it with any kind of whisky?... like red label or more high of johnnie walker
Just had a hell of a time getting that wax off the bottle. Someone should do a video on that! 😆😣
i think it filled the glass perfectly
Looks yumm.. let's prepare and give a smash... one measurement is accurate to .5 ml.. What a pricision
So whisky sour without the egg whites and bitters plus the mint. Sounds interesting. Gonna make it tonight!
Whiskey sour doesn't have bitters?
Exactly to me this is the perfect whiskey sour
Can I use a tablespoon of honey instead of the sugar syrup?
I think honey syrup would be better (3 parts honey 1 part hot water mixed together) because I've seen that honey just itself won't mix well with the other ingredients while shaking.
Sooooo Whiskey sour but sub the optional egg white with mint and no bitters? Sounds good, imma make one!
Me too I want to make this
Do the same recipe but with lime juice and smokey whisky like Connemara or Ardbeg. It kills
Many thanks, what exactly try is a smash? I've read that traditionally it has little I no citrus?
Looking at your recipe for a basil smash and whiskey smash, would a South Side or East Side be considered a smash? Thanks Steve
The Smash originates from the 1830s.. it'sa subcategory of Julep, the only difference between
the two is the inclusion of seasonal fruit. Some historic recipes use seasonal fruit within the drink itself, whilst many simply use the fruit as a garnish atop the drink.
The modern interpretation of the Smash is a cross between Sour and Julep, containing spirit,
muddled fruit (citrus), herb (most commonly mint), sugar, and ice.
I wouldn't call a Southside or Eastside a smash as they're not served over ice.
@@StevetheBartender_ many thanks for your reply Steve, very much appreciated 👍
Think Ciara's method looks the best from all I've seen personally....
Wait what no smile back then!?
He didnt smile... 😟
Must be an old video.. :-)
You have to use the fruit it's self for a smash that's why it's called a smash
Surprisingly it’s not called a Smash for that reason. Muddled lemon is a modern interpretation within the Smash. Originally the Smash was pretty much a Brandy Julep that was garnished with both mint and berries and most likely derived the name from the word Smasher (a term used in the mid 1800s to describe something that was excellent).
So this is whisky sour with mint
Yeah, pretty much... no egg white either..
Whiskey sour has Egg white froth you genius donkey
@@harshbing8123 a simple "it's missing egg white" would have sufficed. Not sure what the name calling is about
Sadly..
I doubt I will ever like Whiskey
Where's the egg white bro
Are you thinking of a whiskey sour?
You can literally watch Dale Degroff, the inventor of this drink make it properly, muddling the 3 lemon quarters, 5 mint leafs, and an ounce of simple syrup. "Some recipes call for it" that's the recipe, that's his recipe lol.
youhuardme youhuardme I didn’t realise I said “I’m going to make Dale Degroff’s recipe exactly”... more than one way to make a drink bro.. lol
At least make sure your facts are correct too before you try and correct someone.. The whiskey smash was first published in 1887 in Jerry Thomas' Bartenders Guide (before Degroff was alive)..
@@StevetheBartender_ One of the earliest examples of a smash appears in the form of a julep recipe in Jerry Thomas’ 1862 How to Mix Drinks, or, The Bon Vivant’s Companion. Though Thomas doesn’t mention the smash by name, though his definition of the julep clearly lays the foundation for the future of the category. He begins by calling the julep a “peculiarly American beverage” that is most popular in the South. Though he declares that a “real Mint Julep” must be made from a dozen mint leaves, a spoonful of white sugar and “equal parts peach and common brandy,” topped with crushed ice, he does acknowledge that there were many versions in existence, many of them perfectly delicious.
Fastforward to 1888 and turn to barman Harry Johnson, who, unlike Thomas, addresses the smash directly as a separate cocktail from a julep. Though he’s not especially wordy on the topic, Johnson does include four distinct smash recipes. His Old Style Whiskey Smash is a casual concoction of sugar, water, mint, “small pieces” of ice and one “wineglass” of whiskey (about 2 oz.). He added that to a glass with “fruits in season,”, gave it a mix and served it with a julep strainer.
We're both wrong-ish, I meant the popularized one that literally comes out looking exactly the same as the one you made was hugely popularized by Dale and was a spin on a smash following the original build, sugar, water, mint, seasonal fruit. Either way, I came off as a dick and didn't mean to, I love your channel.
@@Huardo All good mate, not a dick at all. I often get pulled up on things and some times I'm already on the defensive! >_< What have you been mixing lately? More whiskey cocktails?
@@StevetheBartender_ I just did a cool spin on a London fog. Earl grey infused vodka, galiano, honey syrup cream and egg white. Kind of a fizz meets a London fog.
50ML ... use ounces for us silly American ... WHO LANDED ON THE MOON!!!
The majority of my videos have both measurements but it’s an very simple equation.. takes 1 second to work out.
60mL = 2 oz
50mL = 5/6 oz
30mL = 1 oz
22.5mL = 3/4 oz
15mL = 1/2 oz
10mL = 1/3 oz
7.5mL = 1/4 oz
He uses a jigger, so its not really difficult to figure out how much he puts in
Lol he's Australian, not american..
Steve the Bartender
If 30ml equals 1oz, how does 50ml equal less than 1oz? Don’t you mean 5/3oz or 1 2/3oz? 😉
@@drax14QC literally no one said he's American. In fact the exact opposite was implied.
Dude has 0 charisma
Haha, this was one of my first vids and yer, not good in front of the camera but things have improved since then.. why do you feel the need to criticise though?
