Today's gin cocktail is perfect for Valentine’s Day - the Juliet & Romeo! An original recipe created by Toby Maloney in 2007, this has been a Valentine's go-to of mine ever since. If only Romeo and Juliet could've tasted this drink before the play ended, maybe the outcome would've been less tragic. Anyway, here's to all the couples out there! Cheers!

THE JULIET & ROMEO RECIPE
2 oz. (60 ml) Beefeater London Dry Gin
3/4 oz. (22.5 ml) fresh lime juice
3/4 oz. (22.5 ml) simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water)
4 drops rose water (1 drop for garnish)
optional .25-.5 oz aquafaba (see notes below)*
3 slices of cucumber
Small pinch of salt
Sprig of mint
3 drops Angostura Bitters
Mint leaf with rose water, and bitters for garnish
*NOTES - THE FOAM IS A BIT TRICKY
Due to this cocktail not having an emulsifier, getting that foam on top seems to be a bit hit or miss. My theory is that it depends on the cucumber. To solve this issue, adding .25-.5 oz of aquafaba will help ensure a foam on top, onto which you can place your bitters.

EDIT: I've been hearing from some folks saying they aren't able to get the foam on the top. I'm thinking it's the cucumber.
I recently tried it with two different cukes (of the same type) and one came out with foam and the other did not. A solution to this is to add .25-.5 oz of aquafaba and that should help emulsify things. Either way, it's gonna taste good so don't worry too much about it!

anywhere for us to order that sweatshirt or some other merch?
First concert- Hall & Oats, Till Tuesday was the opener. Cool shirt. Where’d you get it?
happy VD
yeah seriously. I want that "To The Bar" Hoodie. When is your shop opening up?
Speaking of pink liqueurs and Valentine's Day, could you do something on Sloe gin? I'm in Ireland where it's kind of a thing, and while I love the flavor I think I'm doing it a disservice with my current mixing practices.
This looks great. I think this is the cocktail I’ll make for my wife and I! I feel like swirling through the dots with a cocktail pick or tooth pick to make hearts could up the Valentine’s Day factor.
Good idea!
It’s an east side with ango and rose water. I’ll try it this weekend
This is a staple at The Patterson House in Nashville (another Toby Maloney speakeasy bar). It's a beautiful color. It's probably the most refreshing cocktail I like. I have asked for this recipe before and made it at home. I like it with Hendrick's.
This seems heavily inspired by an older cocktail, the Southside (london dry gin, lime juice, mint, simple syrup, angostura), augmented by the cucumber and rosewater. The Southside and Tom Collins are my go-to drinks for turning people on to gin.
And the eastside subs the mint for cucumber
I believe the eastside has both mint and cucumber. The southside I believe only has the mint. The difference for the J&R is that it also adds rose water, salt and bitters. I could be wrong though
Yep southside just mint, then eastside mint and cucumber. So the R&J is just a twist of the eastside
I also make Gimlets for people who prefer lime to lemon. Haven't had anyone not like it yet.
@@vincenth2782Somewhere I had a 'Ramos Fizz' version with cucumber and it was delicious. Where? No idea, none. Age...
Very nice video! Thanks!

Love me some gin! Thanks for continuous content!
Gonna try this this weekend, sounds great!
Happy Valentines Day you two!!!!!!
Another great video. And love the background stories you always share. Going home to make this tonight (love that it uses common bar ingredients).
I appreciate this channel. I’ve already got all the ingredients for this drink, and can’t wait to try it!
Happy Valentine's Day to you two too!
Definitely gonna try this 👌🥂
Made this for Valentine’s Day, the boy loved it! New favorite of ours for sure. Thank you
A definite make this weekend! Great video. Cheers!
Love the presentation of the rose water drop on the mint leaf! Can't wait to try this one
This looks very good. Making this weekend!
omg, I will try it right away
Made this tonight! Wifey loves it. Thanks for such a great channel.
The hubs and I love your videos! Your personality shines and we always learn something valuable! Thanks!
another great video!!!!!
tomorrow i wll start my day with this recipe tasting. Thx a lot man!
This looks delicious! I'm adding it to my list of cocktails to try.
I just started trying gin again thanks to your videos and I love this recipe. I made it for my friends today and they loved it too. Thanks for sharing this terrific gin cocktail!!
Made this today.. It is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for this! My wife and son loved it too!
This sounds so fresh and fragrant. I know I will love it. I hope you and Az have a great Valentine's day. 😊💘
Very Nice!
omg! I love the violet hour! what a great find
Yum! Cheers!
It is a great cocktail!
I just tried this and an instant favorite in the house. The cucumber flavor is absolutely superb!! Hoping for more speakeasy cocktails
This is a wonderful and fresh cocktail. I can see myself holding one of these more or less constantly during the summer. Since I'm not a huge fan of rosewater I've started replacing it with creme de violet and with great results. You get the same flowery notes but without the rose, it works really well.
As always, thank you for the great content!
Anders this looks really good. Thank you.
Absolutely, David! Cheers!
Very nice garnish, Anders. Cheers
A cocktail i will definitely will try at home! Love gin and love cucumber in cocktails so it's gonna taste great!
A very refreshing cocktail ! Cheers Anders - another one for my personal cocktail arsenal!
I've made this one. It's tasty!
Never heard of this one before, but let's try it. Happy Valentine's to you both!
Awesome video my friend!
We were gifted a lovely cucumber and thyme infused gin and so opted out of the cuke muddle... This is a Wonderful drink!!!
I always look forward to your videos and this looks delish! I’ll try it!
Cheers!
This is one of my favorites!
Yay! Cheers, Sue!!
Can't beat Anders! Cheers.
Worth trying. Eastside + rose water.
Cheers to Anders!
I'm always down for a gin based cocktail so I'm excited to try a new one!
Yay, my fav creator post my 21st birthday. Happy almost Valentine’s Day!!
Happy birthday, Brianna!! May you enjoy more sophisticated cocktails than I did on my 21st. Cheers to you! 🥃
Definitely going to make this for my super low key at home valentine's day.
I worked at this bar over the summer. Love The Violet Hour
One of my favorite drinks and my wife LOVES this drink!
You, sir, are psychic. Just this morning, I was thinking that I hadn't made a gin-based cocktail in a while and needed something new to try. And you delivered!
Can’t wait to try it out Anders!
Cheers Eric! Worth trying with mezcal too 😉 Cheers!
I LOVE this cocktail. My wife and I hold Shakespeare dear; gin, mint, and cucumber are just about my three favorite flavors. I've also made her the grey fox when she's been pregnant-thanks for spreading the word about these wonderful cocktails and devising other ones!
I did it for my girlfired and she found it amazing! Thanks for the receipt mate !
Thanks for sharing another great recipe. A little trick to keep them archived. I take a screen shot of the video, then I write on top of the image the quantities of each spirit/ingredient and some basic instructions how to make the build. Cheers!
Just made this last night. Easily in my top 5.
Took a Violet Hour cocktail class here in Chicago where they taught us how to make this. It’s amazing. The floral notes from the rose water, wow. Takes a bit of time but absolutely worth it.
To answer your questions during your sponsor spot- First concert: Billy Idol (2005), Best concert: Alice Cooper (2017)- this one was also my girlfriend's first ever concert. It actually frightened her.
"Roses and love... NOW THE BOOZE"
made this for my girlfriend last valentine’s day, since then i turned 21 and i have now been bartending since june, revisiting this video as i’m going to make it for her tomorrow ! thank you for this great video anders !!!
Great drink! Made it for my wife (who ironically doesn’t care for cucumber but does love gin) and she loved it! Thanks!
The aquafaba works perfectly, and no weird aftertaste. Thanks!
To The Bar!!!!
Ooh, this looks good. Definitely going to try this one!
I can confirm it’s a hit in this house! The wife loves it!
My favourite pizza topping is ham and mushrooms (and sometimes I'll add bell pepper). My first concert was Chickenfoot and my best concert was probably Foo Fighters with Trombone Shorty as a support act.
Very cool so pretty much an Eastside with the addition of the rosewater and bitters.
Def will try. Recently made a mint collins and added some bitters on top and it really did add another dimension to the drink. Didn't think bitters and gin were a think until that.
oooh yeah, gonna have to give that one a try...cucumber and lime are my favorite drink enhancers
What a beautiful cocktail! As a Shakespeare nerd and lover of gin, I will be making this for my girlfriend and myself this weekend. Cheers!
Just made this, the wife loved it! And so did I !
Oh Anders... what a great cocktail! I just replicated your recipe today and let me tell you that this is now a favourite of mine. I had a hard time in the past finding good gin cocktails, despite loving to drink gin. Rum was always my base spirit for cocktails. But this Juliet and Romeo is delicious! One to make over and over and share with many! Cheers!
This is a new one to me, sounds dope.
Cheers, Uncle Pete!
Amazing ampersand, Az.
!!! This is a slight variation on my favorite cocktail: Eastern Standard, slight riff on the Eastside Rickey (no soda). Picked it up when working at Soho House, though they use bombay for the herbaceous quality. I am absolutely trying this with the rosewater and bitters, very smart with the salt too!
Sounds similar to the English Garden cocktail that has been around for a few years and uses gin, cucumber and mint.
The Angostura and rosewater are new in this one, though. I'll give it a try - looks a great summer drink.
This looks nice, it's similar to an Eastside which is among my favorite gin cocktails.
I love it and would love to see some more recipes that use rose water!
🥂🤗 sounds tasty
I drink gin from time to time and always have a bottle or two on hand. I just made a gin cocktail yesterday using Hendrick’s, Grand Marnier, pineapple juice (Dole), passion fruit juice (Goya), and grenadine with crushed ice. It was delicious!
I made this last night and it was such a hit! A friend whose fave drink is a Southside thought this was better. Thanks for the recipe!
6:08 - That shot is 🔥! 😍 Great job as always, guys!
This reminds me of an Eastside but with rosewater added!
Violet Hour - my eldest daughter took me, one of the best cocktail experience I've ever had.
Az: Admit it, you didn't like it. Your face says it all! LOL 😂
Hmmm, I might try this on Monday...stag.
Looks absolutely beautiful Anders, can hardly wait to try it!
Hope you love it, Joonha! Cheers!
a 'Love Story' of a Cocktail!!...Looks VERY Refreshing!.....Cheers Your Canadian Bartender!
Definitely going to try this out tonight, interested in how the salt and rose water interact with everything else. The drink that immediately came to mind when I saw the ingredients was the Kentucky Maid (from Sam Ross who's actually from my hometown of Melbourne, Aus!). Very similar and I LOVE that cocktail. Very refreshing.
Cheers to Ricky Diarmit! One of a kind! Also, love your stuff man! Thanks for all the terrific solid footage and knowledge.
What a beautiful drink!! 😍 But I have to say I hope to see more variety in glassware! I know the coupe is the most practical but you showed us all these beautiful glasses in the glassware video and we barely get to see them! 😭 Nevertheless , thank you for showing us these great recipes! Have a wonderful St Valentines Az and Anders! ❤
Noted. Cheers to you!
