- I remember when this drink first became popular. It was back in the late 80's early 90's and everyone, I mean everyone drank Cosmopolitans. This cocktail is still quite popular today thanks to the hit show Sex and the City. I wouldn't mind sipping on a Cosmo hanging out with those lovely ladies, ya wouldn't mind that at all!

Excellent!
Great time. The music is great too.

Hey Bruce can you do that Gin variation with the cointreau lemon Juice and (as another video idea) your home made raspberry syrup? That variation just...makes my mouth water as I like Gin.
+Captain Zeke My mouth was watering too when I was doing my research. I think I will make that variation for the show a little later. My next syrup will be a rhubarb one seeing as it's in season now. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching 😁
great entertainment & more importantly his cocktails work
They sure do! Thanks for tuning in. Cheers
I was bartending in NYC back then and it seemed to me that this was about 85% a ladies' drink.
Love your video buddy. Nice job and continue like this !!!

Thanks for tuning in! Cheers
This guy is great. Lobe to try his cosmo oneday love ❤u ❤
Thank you! 😊
I love that you tell us the story about the drinks you make, it’s so interesting! Also, The Cosmo is my favorite cocktail, it makes me feel extra gay and of course I know it because of sex and then city. 💖
There’s so much cocktail history out there it’d be a shame not to share it.
Dale Degroffs version is my fav
If you don't have the lemon-flavored vodka, would adding a stirring spoon's worth of fresh lemon juice to standard vodka be a suitable substitute?
Adding a bar spoon of fresh lemon juice to neutral (unflavoured) vodka could work but might get lost in the lime juice. You could also try infusing 3 quartered lemons with 2 of cups of vodka. Put the lemons and vodka in a jar. Seal it up and place in a dark, cool location. After two or three weeks, you have lemon flavoured vodka. Experiment and have fun. Cheers!
Dude wtf.. I don't never listen to anybody talk about the history of drinks as I just want to learn recipes for my skillset, how tf did I not notice I was listening to this man like he was telling me my future, this must be what pro level bartenders are made of, pure charisma, I need those qualities when I bartend just chill, free, and whatever all that sauce was he had
This is what 44 years in the bartending game looks like. Ha 🤣
Thanks for tuning in!
I get more out of these videos then I do a bartender school, which is a rip off. Unless this guy starts one ☝️
I’m working on it! Need more hours in the day.
I had a Elderly neighbor who made these, she was a hot number in her day so even though she was in her 80s she looked like about 60ish and made the best Cosmopolitans, she didn't measure , she poured and they were delish , had one in a bar in her memory at a bar restaurant and it was not as good as hers
Great story! Thanks for sharing.
Have you done a video for the white russian?🤔
No but it’s on my to-do list.
Looks like a lovely drink my girlfriend would order... if I had one. =(
Ah well. If she wants Jameson straight or some pinot grigio, I'd love her equally.
Remember this cocktail the next time you have a new lady friend and make one for her, she’ll love it.
I'm kinda suprised you added ice first.
This is how I make them at the bar, without all the banter of course. It takes about 20 seconds to make a Cosmo. So, there's no fear of over dilution by adding the ice first. Cheers!
Bruce it would taste even better if you used a vodka that tasted good. ;) I don't mean to troll but absolut is a marketing exercise rather than a good vodka.
Vodkas are subjective, but one thing they should have is a clean nose with no strong odour and pleasant heat on the palate. Your cocktail is only as good as the worst ingredient used. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails Yeah. To me the test is wether it's drinkable straight. I'm swedish so i grew up with the notion that absolut is best but I found it justleaves the taste of a bad hangover in the mouth. I find the Finnish and russian ones have a much purer taste, I have even tasted great ones made in peoples garages in the north of sweden but found that absolut is more a success in marketing than in taste.
Screw the cosmo, tell us more about that precursor gin based cocktail with the homemade raspberry syrup!
There's a recipe for a Cosmopolitan Daisy which appears in Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars 1903-1933. It uses gin, Cointreau, lemon juice, and raspberry syrup. Whether this drink is the source of the modern-day Cosmo is unknown, but it appears the Cosmopolitan Daisy might be a riff on a Brandy Daisy from the 19th century. Take out the Cointreau, swap the lemon for lime along with some raspberry syrup and essentially you've got a twist on a classic gimlet. A Raspberry Gimlet has a bright tart note and is a delicious summertime cocktail. Another forerunner might be a Clover Club from the late 1800s. It adds egg white for a smooth silky finish. Cheers, Matthew.
@@BarTalkCocktails Thank you! I love having New cocktails to try!
Could you just use a bit of lemon juice if you don’t have citron
You certainly could add lemon juice to your Cosmo. It's a good sub and will mix well with the lime juice. Citron vodka is only necessary if you follow Cheryl Cook's original recipe. I've made many Cosmopolitans without citron vodka and they taste great. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails thanks! I lobe your show by the way. Very fun.
I wonder how a paper plane would taste with burnt orange
Give it a go!
gawddammit, hold the camera still! you know they make a stand just for that. it;s not artzy, it's dizzy.
