This Cocktail Doesn't Look Like It Works On Paper

- The Blinker is a super simple three ingredient sipper with a really cute name. The other interesting thing about this drink is that when you look at the ingredients on paper they look like they won't work at all and then you try it, and the lights of heaven open up upon you and you just can't figure out how you could have possibly been so wrong but, you were and you're glad you were because it is a FANTASTIC DRINK!
The first version of this drink (as far as we can tell) was published by Patrick Gavin Duffy in his 1934 tome The Official Mixers Manual and it subsequently made an appearance in David A. Embry's The Fine Art Of Mixing Drinks published in 1948.
Alrighty Guys hope you like the drink! Happy Quarantine and STAY HEALTHY!

What a self-indulgent long-winded intro...just the kind of shenanigans that keep me coming back. Thanks for keeping us sane these last couple years, guys.
well yeah you shouldn't put drinks on paper silly
The paper will get soaking wet.
Something about being in the middle of a pandemic makes me really appreciate these simple old drinks with no garnish.
Thanks for all these videos man. Giving us some normalcy and fun content during this time. Hope things can get back to normal soon for all of us!
One of those I couldn’t wait to try... and you’re right, it sounds a bit unusual but it works so well! Delicious!
Bourbon/Rye goes very well with grapefruit. One of my favs is the "Brown Derby cocktail"
1 1/2 oz Bourbon
1 oz Fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 oz Honey syrup
I also thought of the Brown Derby, almost feels like a variation on that.
Made this yesterday with grapefruit fresh off the tree. Really nice. Thanks for introducing us to it!
When things don't look like they should make sense but they do!! That is always a great surprise. Great video Leandro and Marius Keep it up!
I'll be having one this evening. Thanks
I appreciate the time it takes to put text behind the bottles
One of my favourite drinks, really. I just love it.
Can’t wait to try this. Not normally a fan of grapefruit juice so I’m intrigued by this flavor combination. 👍
I am absolutely going to try this after our next shopping foray.
Loved the intro including bloopers 👌
Just made this tonight...had some grenadine I hadn’t used...really good drink. Thanks!
I cannot stop making this cocktail! I’m using the new Elijah Craig Rye Whiskey at 94 proof and it’s fantastic! I tried it first up in the coupe glass per the video. Now I mix it on the rocks in a glass and add in a Luxardo cherry with a little bit of the cherry syrup. I never would have thought to use grapefruit juice in any bourbon/rye cocktail but it is a perfect companion. Thank you!
It was great!!!
Tonight's cocktail! Thanks.
I love hot versatile the cocktail is!
Made it tonight after the Livestream! Used the good old overholt! Delicious!
Given you're a former skater, I'm surprised that we haven't seen any unsuccessful takes until now. X number of fuck ups before the successful take is a super common skate video structure. Also, I'd call that color rust rose.
It's a really nice to see you guys...(Laugh/cries in Italian)
The false starts are amazing
"Dirty Rose". ...reminds me of The Golden Girls
Its really nice to see you too dude.
Hahah the intro was amazing!
I like the little editing touch with the text behind the bottles @ 3:07
Great Cocktail. 2 Oz of rye would be the magical part of the receipe（instead of 1 oz）👍👍👍
Fun start to the video
This is a new one on me, I'll have to try it out
Last time I was this early alchohol was not invented yet.
Just made this. I added a couple dashes of Lavender bitters. That’s the way to go.
Not bad. I bet it would be better if I used the same bottle you did. I did it with Templeton rye 6 year. I love the color!
You forgot to write the recipe in the description
The color is a smokey salmon. I'm making this while it's still "Cinco de Drinko" here in Socal. 👍👍
I made this cocktail recently because I had a lot of grapefruits on hand. I also made it a couple of months ago when I had a lot of grapefruit. The second time, I used a craft grenadine (marked on the bottle as "batch 0028") instead of Monin, and it was a lot better. So this seems to be a drink where the quality of the grenadine makes a big difference. (I guess I'll have to test that theory by making a Jack Rose one of these days.)
according to Pantone the name of the color is 2448 C. I think personally it's kind of a terracotta color.
Salmon color?
If no one else has suggested it, you should call it a "Ruby Rye"
salud 🍻from mexico
Sounds lovely, I'm gonna be doing so many more cocktail when I finally find rye 😢
@@user-zy2qo4qs7d wild turkey 101 rye is sometimes available for 30€ for a liter bottle on amazon for germany, just have look on the price now and then
I love the intro of this video... 😂
“Ox blood” had me rolling lmao
Would it be possible to have the recipe added to the description?
Best intro ever.
Kinda like a brown derby but grenadine instead? Didn’t seem too off to me on paper, but I could see how it would lean more tart.
Dirty Rose is a great name for a cocktail 😁
Nice
Another great video! Great tip about contrasting white vs ruby grapefruit. I am also based in LA and I was wondering if you had recommendations on where you source your bottles especially during quarantine.
I use Bitters and bottles in SF, cheap delivery, great selections and great prices and also K&L Wines here in LA they’re also delivering locally
The Educated Barfly wow thanks so much will definitely check those out keep up the good work really been enjoying free pour as well!
Best intro: _"we ran out of intros"_
Rost! Is the color, as an old car 😉
Made this the other week using Raspberry Jam rather than Grenadine, which is how the PDT book suggests and it was epic. Would recommend giving that version a try, when i can get some good Grenadine I will give this one a go.
Mr. Leandro,
Give that version a try and make a video of it. That sounds delicious!
What’s a good grenadine? I have Rose’s but I imagine that’s low end?
angel_wings I don’t think Roses actually contains any pomegranate juice and it all corn syrup and artificial flavour/colour. Apparently it’s not that hard to make yourself.
Love the video, but there is o recipe in the description :)
oh huh this is like a Brown Derby but subbing grenadine for honey and rye for bourbon. I love the Brown Derby so this variant on it seems interesting
This reminds me of the Belmont Jewel. Have you had or seen this drink? It’s the official drink of the Belmont Stakes. Perhaps do your take on it someday
The color is coral :)
Please keep adding fails, really makes it more fun to watch instead of just look up the recipe in the description :)
What’s the optimal amount of ice to shake with versus stirring?
no more coles's? Visiting was in the top of my list after covid was over. salud 🍻from mexico
I’ll probably return on a limited basis after COVID
How long does fresh grapefruit/lime/lemon juice keep for in those bottles?
Where is the recipe written? Anyways the Blinker is simply the best. Thank you :)
But still where is it?
6:50
In the description
I have the Ruby Red Grapefruit cordial from Libre and Co, do you think it would work as the juice? I love their Grenadine and orgeat
It would need to be adjusted because cordial contains sugar but definitely worth a try
Daggonnit! I can't have grapefruit!
Vermilion is pretty close color wise?
Dusty Rose! 🤷♂️❤️
Approximately how much does it cost to get all the equipment and drinks to start bartending?
Leandro, quick question and I think you’ve said it before, but, what is the reason why you put ingredients in one tin an ice in the other? Why not put all together and then shake?
Preference that’s the only reason
Sir - I want to issue a challenge on your shaker technique, specifically how they need to be put together. I agree your slamming together works, but I disagree in that it's NOT necessary. By sliding together, holding together firmly, and starting a slow shake, the ice/cold creates a seal quickly. After 3-5 slow shakes the seal forms and vigorous shaking can commence. Of course, this only works when shaking with ice. I'd love to see you try both techniques on a Monday happy hour live!!! (Love your videos btw - thanks!)
Yes I’ve heard of this theory. I’ve never tried it. I’ll test it tonight on the livestream at 7pm PST. Be there or be square
@@TheEducatedBarfly I'll be there with shaken drink in hand.
the name of that colour is Brick Red, by the way
Oh yes, the ol' double strainy pants into the glassy poo!
😂
😍
what do you think about using raspberry syrup instead of grenadine?
I think it would be good but a different drink.
@@TheEducatedBarfly yes, surely it would be different. Is Grenadine the original ingredient from Patrick Gavin Duffy's The Official Mixer’s Manual?
Can't you add an egg white to this one? Would be cool to have a pink froth as well!
Yeah you definitely could
Sounds delicious, let's just call it ummmmmmmmmmmm........... Red
'savoury red'
isn't it just 'salmon'? I guess it's a little darker than salmon
either way, this looks amazing and I wish grapefruit didn't mess with meds :(
Salmon colour
Just made one and hated it - until I tweaked it with a bit more juice and rye to get down to about 1/4 oz grenadine. Then it clicked.
Kinda like a brown derby.
What can you sub for grapefruit juice if you are one of the people who can't use it?
You can sub out with another citrus, but it's going to change the flavor profile.
Why don’t you ever give ancho Reyes any love? The shits great
Honestly I just need to pick up a bottle but I love it too I put them in a cocktail or two but you’re right not often enough
Dirty rose, i like that
Sorry about your job man, keep going, its the only thing you can do.
Its soo close to Ward8 right?
Yeah it is...
Perhaps “auburn” is the color you’re looking for?
Oooh good one!
I saw the “kneB”, Leandro. Are you up late drinking again? Cuz I am.
Am I sensing a blooper montage? =P
Possibly.....
Brownish….. 😂
"glassy-poo"
Its orange?!?!?
Dirty Rose....hasn't seen her in a while....wonder what she's up to? ;)
Brick?
Cocktail beats paper right? Or is that scissors?
Cocktail beats everything except rock
The Educated Barfly I’m not getting the math on that one... Oh cuz rock breaks glass! Why does it beat scissors tho?
The color you're looking for is Campbell's Tomato Soup. You're welcome ;- )
It’s rust colored.
Looks like a salmon color. But that’s not a very appetizing description. Lol
Its rust color reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@0:14 You cant say ”c*ck” in CZcams videos anymore. Shame on you!
