  • It’s always refreshing to take a step back and realize that there’s a whole world of 3 ingredient cocktails we can come back to, most of which can be made with ingredients we already have on hand.

    With all the cocktails out there making the rounds on various social media outlets and the massive influx of bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts posting recipes on the internet, it’s easy to get bogged down in complicated recipes which require modernist ingredients and require a treasure hunt to make.Today we’re going to focus on this recipes which get pushed to the back in favor of daiquiris and old fashioneds but are every bit as good.

If not, then it’s an essential ingredient. But this is just playful banter. I appreciate you guys putting out entertaining and educational content as always. Cheers!

    I’m at work right now, so I can’t watch the video atm, but I’ll guess the drinks in the thumbnail from left to right and come back later to see how correct I was.
    -whiskey sour
    -cosmonaut
    -gin sour (maybe an army and navy, which is the best variation imo)
    -Negroni, served up (very classy)
    -a mule of some kind (my initial guess was Moscow, but this might be a London mule because gin is objectively better)
    Edit: corrected the autocorrect “mile” to “mule”

    The 1st cocktail i think of when someone say 3 ingredient cocktail is the Daiquiri - Rum, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup.. (Mojito would be 4 ingredients with the Mint Leaves) or the Cuba Libre - Rum, Coke, Lime Juice.

      It was easy to miss because it was poured into the glass before the other ingredients were put in the shaker. I was curious about two different things. One, why shake the other ingredients rather than pour? And two, why put the soda in the glass before instead of after or does it matter?
