- Although we're always tempted to find a specific source at a specific time for each cocktail recipe, the reality for many of the classics is that they were evolutions over many many years. Today, we trace the evolution of the most famous cocktail in history. Arguably the BEST invention Americans gave to the world...The Martini. This is a longer video than we normally do, but I think you guys will enjoy it!

Watching this on my lunch break so I can say I had a 5 martini lunch.
Ooh, please do a Battle of the Bitters!
Yes.
best idea ever
Oh yes please!
"Battle of the Bitters" Yyyyyyeeeeeessssss 🥂.. Look forward to That video too!
can't even ask for a better birthday present than a 30 min video about my absolutely favorite cocktail! FYI you really should make more videos that long .
Love the deep dive on a classic. Digging the history and the context of each one!
The Marguerite is my favorite too. Over the years I perfected my specs for a martini until I got it where I wanted it. It was only after reading the Simonson book that I realized that I had reinvented the Marguerite. 😂🤣😂
by the way, major advice: everybody who loves a martini should keep the ice you stirred with, put it in a glass and use it to cool water. The water gets a very subtle yet very balanced taste of the drink. It's a nice reminder.
I just rinse and reuse ice (only reusing it in drinks I'm making myself & my fiancée, even pre-COVID), because if I'm putting 20-40 minutes of effort into making beautiful clear ice I would rather shake with the post-usage bits: they're still clear, hard, and dense, why waste the energy and water?
@@nicholasterry6523 glad I'm not the only one who does this 👍
Me too +1 😃
“Grace personified” is drinking 2.5 oz of nearly-straight gin with a little bit of botanical flavoring, lol. Classy!
I mean technically a dirty martini is how I think like battery must taste like, and somehow it is one of my favourite things to sip... how strange.... I think Martini's really are mall about culture and super subtle tastes.
As opposed to a - say - Mojito which is more like 'lemonade' :)
Loved this. Thank you! 🍸
Love this style of ep, going through the history and evolution of a cocktail with multiple iterations. I have to say I like my martinis dirty, I find the vinegar in the olive juice to balance out the cocktail more to my taste, but again there is no right way to like a martini, there's just your personal taste, and everyone's differ.
Great episode! Love the longer ones
That sweet recipe sounds incredible. Awesome vid, as always. And tell Marius to lighten up a little lol
I know you don't want to do "too much history" but you're very knowledgeable and I really love all the history bits around cocktail history and circumstance. Great video! I need to try all these. That sweet martini looks very enticing.
Outstanding video! Thanks for sharing!
Love your work Leandro!
Excellent video! Thank you!
I was researching martinis and realised just including the most popular ingredients, ratios and garnishes would create thousands of possible variations. Then when you take into account all the different gins, vermouths etc. the variations are essentially limitless.
great presentation and info.
that is a great variation of the evolution of the Martni. Well done. Thank you !
I absolutely love that this long video. It's really nice to have something playing in the background while you're doing chores or working from home. Please do more! Definitely glad you threw in a fifth cocktail 👍👍
No judgement on the bitters tasting :) loving the old martini recipes!
Great concept episode. More please !
Wonderful video! I've never been interested in a martini before, but I loved these variations so much that I must try it.
There was a bartender, now retired, at the Dukes Hotel in London who showed us his own take on the martini. A chilled glass with Dry Vermouth (I prefer a 1/4 or 1/3 ratio myself) and London Dry Gin from the freezer so cold it’s viscous (no ice), then a twist of lemon. The kicker was a tray of cashews and olives. Begin chewing a cashew. Before it’s gone begin chewing an olive and while those flavors are still fresh in your mouth take a big sip. Delicious. I like the idea of the orange bitters so I'll have to try that.
It is my dream to one day visit Dukes in London and have a Martini
Love this style of a video.
I have a bit of sweet vermouth left over and wasn't sure what I was gonna do with it. For some reason, everyone has been on a Martini craze lately; myself included.
Will give the first one a try! :)
This was a fantastic introduction to martinis! I can't wait to try these. This also makes me a lot more curious about Bitters.
I saw the sweet martini and instantly went ahead to make it alongside the video, it’s bloody delicious is what it is 😋 new instant favourite martini variant!
I made the Medium Martini (1922) this evening and WOW, this is now my favorite, go-to martini from now on. Thank you for posting these variations.
Great video! I've mixed a sweet martini while watching this, and it's delicious. Glad I had cherries in the fridge!
More of these type vids please, 4-5 drinks in one reference video I nice to keep in your favorites
Fantastic!
Fantastic video, fellas! Of the classic cocktails, the OF (with rye) is my favorite, but I agree that the Martini is THE MOST CLASSIC COCKTAIL. I'm learning to love Martinis of all kinds, too. Thank you for this in-depth, yet lots of fun, video.
Lol right when he was pouring the last martini, I exclaimed beautiful wash line and literally he said it right after! Great vid. Informative and shows your passion!
A Marguerite made with Martin Miller Westbourne is, indeed, an ideal Martini! I'm looking forward to trying the sweet recipe tonight.
Great episode guys :)
Nice video dude!
The Marguerite is simply the best, thank you. We didn’t have the stronger version gin so went with their original and a martini dry martini which we really really loved. Interestingly though we preferred that as it was mildly sweeter than the brands in the video. This is a drink that now sits top of list for simple good order anytime cocktails when we are allowed back to social places.
Great great great video, guys!
The Bogart's Bitters from Bitter Truth changed the way I thought about cocktail bitters. That stuff is absolutely incredible.
A syrup video sounds great! If you do one could you also add how long they're usually good for after you make them?
glad that you did the 5, more power to you!
Great video!
Thank you. I cannot stand a dry gin martini and you have given me delicious (and historical) options. My quarantine bar thanks you.
Great fun, yes bitters videos would be fascinating.
I do love waking up in the morning and watching a nice long Educated Barfly video. Sets a good mood for the rest of the day.
I will be trying at least two of these variations. I've never really liked Martinis before, but I think as my palate has evolved and as I've learned more about making drinks, I'm totally up for this now. It was my goal to go to Cole's and ask for one of these from you, but looks like that either won't happen or won't happen soon, so I'll have to make it myself.
Absolutely loved the history lesson. Can’t wait to try the sweet martini to see if it’s as good as it sounds! Thanks again guys, another great video. ❤️🍸
I tried it! It's Sooo good ❣️
Fantastic video, fellas! Of the classic cocktails, the OF (with rye) is my favorite, but I agree that the Martini is THE MOST CLASSIC
I am headed to the bitters and vermouth store! Really great video today, very informative!
Thanks!
Thanks to your video, I've been making the Marguerite and it truly is as good as you describe! It's now my absolute favourite! I regret all those ultra dry martinis I drank when I could have been drinking this!
SOOOOoooo.. i made one of the marguites the other night, playing around, just wanted to put orange bitters in something. fell in love! seeing your video affirms it. i used leopold's and was super happy
Dude this is my favorite opening monologues of all of your vids.
This is all fascinating. But if you go to a nice bar in a city like SF, and ask for a martini, they will often give you gin only. You actually have to ask for Vermouth. In that case, they will do something like pour in some vermouth, swish it around and pour it out. None of these drinks is anything like a martini you actually get most of the time. Plan to try some of these. I think the comment about the vermouth spoiling on the shelf is spot on as to why vermouth is not liked/used. Also the pairing of the gin. Another aspect was in Vya's promotional pitch. You typically add $7 a bottle Vermouth to $30 a bottle gin. Dolin (as used here) is the way to go. Can't get it where I live though. I tend to use Cinzano. Great sweet vermouth. Ok dry vermouth.
Great history game here sir! 🙏😊
Rich Demerara gomme syrup is a staple in my kitchen, especially during the winter. It's amazing in Old Fashioneds and Sazeracs!
You know its a good day when we get a half an hour long video
I’ve never been able to see any oil from my peels spritz out like you said, so I’m jealous. These are all looking great! Thanks for giving me some ideas ...
Great video
I`m new and a novice in bartending. Have to say that I`m glad I found this channel after gone through several bartending channels. Very informative and respectable bartender in contrast to all the dorky kinds of bartenders that I stumbled across here on You tube. Subscribed and following this one for sure!
thanks for watching
Just try the Medium Martini, like it start with the taste sweet vermouth, than the dry feel come in with end of the juniper Spices... Nice recipe. Ya, wish you can do the battle for the bitters. Like your work, keep it up man.
Leandro is on point with his assessment of the sweet martini! Didn't have gum syrup, but made it with Lo-Fi sweet vermouth (a new acquisition), Plymouth and garnished with a Luxardo cherry. Bonus: lower ABV, so have it for breakfast!
Can't wait to start mixing Martini's!
How would i order the last cocktail at a bar? I make it at home and love it, but would love to be able to get one at the bar.
Thanks so much for this one! I ❤️ dirty Martini but I've got to expand my horizons 😉
Leandro, you're right. I thought I hated gin, but I just made a sweet Martini per your recipe, and I liked it. It's nice to be wrong sometimes.
This was a cool video. I would love to see the same for the Mai Tai and watch the epic fall from trader Vic's recipe to your local red Robin.
i live within walking distance of the blackfriar's distillery.
still need to visit it, walked past it a few times. the street it's on is very narrow and there's a lot of pubs on it.
This makes me so happy. The only thing that will make happier would be the Battle of the Bitters!
You are always on point with the cocktail history! Much respect brother!
First cocktail I learned to make. I am obsessed with Hendricks Gin. I figure if Scots can make fine whiskey, making fine gin is easy.
I’ve been waiting for this video for weeks!!! Sad to omit another 1888 first published martini:( though for me, perfect video!!!
Wonderful segment. I’ve recently discovered the Martinez and it is my favorite now. I tried your sweet with Bombay and it is similar but the gin is more subtle since there’s half!! But still a keeper. I gotta go buy some dry vermouth to try some of those. Also have to get some Plymouth though Ransom old Tom is my go to now. Love it.EDIT. Tried the medium with Dolin dry and sweet vermouth FANTASTIC!!! Amazing how different all of these are and such different flavors dominating. Wonderful thank YOU!!!!! Edit. Sorry man, the medium and the sweet are keepers. Not impressed by the last one. I was using Bombay to make the last one tonight but no where near the flavor of the medium and the sweet and the Martinez. Love your stuff.
Terrific video as always. Any home substitutions for gum syrup?
Simple syrup...
I never knew how much I liked a martini. I was drinking a 50:50 martini while watching this and boy was it good. You can just smell the glass afterwards and be satisfied. I'm a huge gin fan and the synergy between the gin and the vermouth is amazing. From today onward I think I've become a vermouth fan :-) I'm very new to cocktails and all of this is like opening a magic box for me. Thanks for all of the great videos!
Glad you like the content and thanks for the support 😊
I have a Seville orange tree in my backyard here in south Texas. The oils of the peel are extremely aromatic and bitter and the juice is sour like a lemon. One of my favorite martinis is a variation balancing that bitterness with blanco vermouth instead of dry and it is delicious.
3 dashes orange bitters
3 drops of Seville orange juice
1 oz. Dolin blanco vermouth
2 oz. juniper forward Gin.
Stir and garnish with Seville orange peel.
Maybe you’d like to try it if you can find Seville oranges.
God I love this channel
Absolutely love this video! The martini's history is so interesting.
If I had to pick just one cocktail to drink for the rest of my life, I'd probably pick the 2-to-1 martini with a lemon twist (I'll have to try the orange though!)
If you had to pick just one drink, which would you take?
Negroni, hands down.
Would love to see a video making cocktails using things that are not as common or known about. Like Middle Eastern inspired Cocktails.
Just tried a medium with dolin and carpano and loved it. Tried a sweet yesterday and found it too sweet.
I need to try that sweet martini! I have a bottle of carpano antica at home that I think would like some gin in it!
Definitely have to do history of other cocktails. Maybe Margarita for one
I love craft bitters, battle of the bitters would be awesome.
29:34 Solid olive pun.
Try swapping the Vermouth for Montengro. I've also swapped this amaro out with Benedictine with good results.
I love cocktail history! I actually have pages of notes with recipes on my computer about the history and evolution of the Martinx cocktail family! Where did you find the recommendation for a lemon twist, olive or cherry garnish for the first one? The early recipes I've seen (1887 and 1888) call for a lemon twist. I believe the first one would be called a Martinez in modern times, though through history they used names like Martini, Martine, Martinez, etc. interchangeably?
I'll make sure to try the Sweet Martini after you instantly declared it your favourite! I had overlooked that one, it seems like most recipes either went for Old Tom gin and sweet vermouth or London dry and dry vermouth, rarely one from both categories. It does look delicious! Did your source specifically call for the Plymouth gin? The photocopy of Harry's ABC's of Mixing Cocktails I've used just says gin.
Just as a little note, I love the history and stories you tell, but you might consider clipping some of the thinking pauses and repeating words, especially in these long videos! It would make everything a bit more cohesive, I say as I'm finishing my third paragraph... Also, I was just hoping you'd compare the Bogart's and Boker's bitters before you mentioned making a video about it!
Jee suomalainen ❤️
Thicckk torille 😂
Jasmin Miettunen do you love me 🥺?
I'm figuring out that my "new" cocktail we've been talking about is just a variation of a Historical Martini. I now understand why you advised me to add gum sirop into it !!!
The classic dirty martini with three olives and more if they'll give them ( I love olives 😂) will forever be my favourite cocktail ❤
I always wanted to travel in time and I just found my time machine! 🕟
Excellent video. How do you think a high proofed gin, like Old Raj, pair in the Sweet Martini?
Love Old Raj I think it would be great!
So cute as you get tipsier and tipsier as the video goes 😁😁❤️
I like the bottle that bogart's bitters comes in, its a better bitter bottle than many others.
In Spain (and probably some other countries) sweet vermouth is usually drink with a splash of gin.
I would watch an entire video just on tasting notes on different types of bitters. Not sure what to use for a pallet cleanser though.
Martino variation video=👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Idk if you’ll see this but do you think you would ever do a vermouth masterclass type video? I would love to learn differences between types/brands of vermouth and how to use them in different cocktails! Love you guys.
yes this is absolutely something I'm working on. Buuut may take a while to execute, but yes! It's something planned for the near future
@@TheEducatedBarfly can’t wait! You’re the man!Just trying to build out my bar cart responsibly and efficiently lol 🤓
Martinis and Jazz...a perfect gift from America.
Great video, my question is which Orange bitters are you using, Angostura or Regans for example taste so different. Cheers from Perú. Also do you put the link of the gumm syrup. Thanks
Either Fee's or Reagan's. But sometimes "Feegans" which is half of each.
6:40 sweet carousel stir. He understands. 👍
? Leandro would you consider the Snicker a Martini?
It’s 1oz Dry Gin
1/2oz French Vermouth
2 dashes Maraschino
1 teaspoon syrup
1 dash orange bitters then add an egg white and dry shake then ice shake.
Would Beefeater Gin be a passable substitute for Plymouth for the Sweet Martini?
Looking forward to trying out these recipes! Do you recommend the 18oz or 24oz mixing glass for the one used in this video and linked?
I have both but it’s the 18oz in the video
@@TheEducatedBarfly thanks for the reply! How do you decide which one to use, volume of the cocktail?
