I looked into it with my baking skills, and the egg white makes a sort of meringue, and the cream becomes whipped, those are also folded together through shaking to make that stiff peaks. Now, I thought one day, why not cheat and use a whisk, or protein shaker ball, and that'll help. Right? No. It turned parts of the cream into butter.

For that impressive foam column, do what's sometimes called a "reverse dry shake." Shake all the ingredients EXCEPT the egg (and soda, obviously) with ice. Strain out the ice and add the egg (optionally you can toss in the spring from your Hawthorne strainer), and shake in the chilled tin with the cold ingredients. Pour it into your glass, and as you add the soda water you'll want to stir and agitate the drink with your bar spoon or preferably the straw you'll be serving it with. Once you've gotten it down, that foam will stand so tall you'll be getting federal air space violations every time you make one. Edit: Also, no need to shake more than a minute. By keeping the ice from contacting the egg, the texture will be MUCH improved. And if you toss in the spring to aerate it further... hoo boy...

For anyone else who wants to know, after much research I believe the Italian cookies that use orange blossom water Greg mentions at 6:49 are most likely "chifferi di Finale"; a crescent-shaped cookie topped with sliced almonds created in Finale Ligure in the 19th century. Failing this, I also found a dessert featuring orange blossom water called "bugie"; sweet fritters usually eaten around Carnival time across Italy and apparently enjoyed year-round in the city of Vallebona (where all of Italy's orange blossom water is produced.)

The Ramos doesn't have to take that much time shaking. Using the block of ice without the shards or loose ice works best. Also, drop the Hawthorn strainer coil in the shaker. Once poured, let it sit for a minute or so before adding the soda. Some say dry-shaking helps, but I've had success with both methods. Finally, make sure everything is cold. It may bubble up when hitting the foam, so a funnel can help.

The best strategy i've found after investigating a bunch is to leave out the cream at first, then whip shape with a single ice cube until it melts for like 90-120 seconds. Then add the cream and some pebble/crushed ice and shake again until the ice is dissolved. Works every time for me, and only takes about a minute and a half!

When it comes to Gin I'm somehow partial to Roku Gin. May be the shape of the bottle and the name and history. Taste is interesting too. I wonder if an episode with Japanese stuff might be cool? Greg has used Midori a few times at least but how about other stuff like Nihonshu, Umeshu, Macha or Shochu (brr)?

The bottle is so pretty, I use an old one for storing my simple syrup.

Roku has really nice floral notes. It's basically the only gin i drink.

A “French 75” (Champagne) or “Italian 75” (Prosecco) is my favorite Gin cocktail. (Gin, Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice, Simple & Top w/ Bubbles over cracked or crushed ice. I like my Gin Martinis (50:50 Gin/Dry French Vermouth) Garnished with Olives or Lemon Twist. I only make them at home though for fear of being judged! Cheers Greg!

Your first video on the Gimlet sold me. One of my go to gin drinks, the other is a Bee's Knees. I absolutely agree, the cordial is a must for that zippy, refreshing glass of awesomeness.

I have made this, refrigerated it lasted over 1 month. It's half sugar and citrus acid, which are both preservatives. I guess it'll last a lot longer. Made my 2nd batch this week. It's great even for 1-to-4 mix with seltzer water as lemonade and 1-to-4 ration with cold tea to make iced-tea.

A Chinese bartender on Tiktok does a great job on the fizz column. I never knew it was so labor intensive. He makes ot look easy, plus I believe he uses a spring and ice

I clicked on this video hoping to find a new gin drink, but I'm so happy the Gimlet is here. It's been my absolute favorite cocktail to make since I first discovered it. It was a complete accident, since I had a bottle of gin and no one else would drink it, so I tried finding a good drink to make of it and found my number 1.

Hey Greg, you should give japanese gins a try! Much like whiskey they are surprisingly tasty and unique, although they don't get the recognition that the whiskey does. There's a gin called Roku, made by suntory, which should be fairly widely available; really tasty and has some unique botanicals that make for amazing & different gin cocktails.
@malicioustactics6846 10 ай бұрын
Japanese drink Whisky. Don't ever besmirch Whiskey like that again lmao Irish Whiskey isn't even good and is still better than Japanese "Whisky". Suntory is processed manufacturing at its finest. Absolute garbage.

The 50/50 Martini up with a twist is possibly one of my favorite cocktails. Make sure the dry vermouth is fresh and cold, add a dash or two of orange bitters. Use your clear block ice and not that stuff from the freezer dispenser. So good.
