The French Pearl was created by Audrey Saunders in 2006 at the Pegu Club in NYC. This drink was created as a tribute to the 1800s French architectural style apparent in the late 1800's. During this era, it was fashionable to be sipping anise-flavoured liquor, namely absinthe.

I'm back after about 5 days of silence.. I was *cough* unwell and took some time for much needed rest. Anyways, onto the cocktail - it's another tasty drink from Audrey Saunders - definitely worth trying. Feel free to substitute absinthe in place of Pastis... or you could even try it with Green Chartreuse.. enjoy! - PDT COCKTAIL BOOK: stevethebartender.com.au/go/pdt-2/ - BUY THE BACKBAR: bit.ly/buy-a-bottle - PATREON: bit.ly/stb-patreon

I was going to ask what Pastis is but when you said something about anise I assumed it was similar

@StevetheBartender_ 5 жыл бұрын

"Pastis is an anise-flavoured spirit and apéritif from France, typically containing less than 100 g/l sugar and 40-45% ABV." Absinthe is probably the best substitute...

Just a little correction for the description : It's not possible that Pastis was popular in France during the 1800 era for the good reason that it was actually created in Marseille (South of France) in the early 20th century where it is still extremely popular. However it was super popular in the 1800 era to drink Absinthe. Which is also a very anis forward alcohol but quite different in my view. Also it's interesting that Absinthe became so popular (more than a glass served on two was absinthe) that the French government a the time forbade the drink because of too much cases of mental illness due to Absinthe. (Several cases of hallucinations and delirium. That's what happened to Van Gogh for example) The Absinthe that we have theses days is a new recipe

@turtleburger7480 5 жыл бұрын

Steve: *puts mint in the shaker* Me: *nervous sweating* Jokes aside, I really love your videos, however I think that mint and ice cubes don't pair well together when shaking, as the leaves get damaged a lot in the process, releasing unwanted flavor and having little mint pieces in the glass unless double strained. I remember asking about it once on cocktail chemistry and Nick answered that if you want to avoid it you should give it a light shake, kind of reduces the problem but you're not giving it a good shake. So here is what I tried, shake everything as usual except for mint ( and simple syrup if you prefer muddling the former with it), after the shaking get rid of the ice, now in you're free shaker tin add mint, simple syrup and muddle. Shake everything again and then strain in a glass of choice, there will be no need to use a fine strainer as almost all ice shards will be gone because of the second shake and your leaves will be intact. So I basically gave it a reverse shake, I found the cocktail a bit more enjoyable, thought it's a little bit less efficient in terms of timing, around 15-20 seconds more. Still think it's a great video and I'd like to know you're opinion on this method I use

@StevetheBartender_ 5 жыл бұрын

I don’t seem to notice unpleasant tastes from including the mint in the shaker but if you prefer it then that’s the way you should do it... drinks and flavours come down to personal preference :)

Are you self-learned or did you go to some sort of bartending school? I'm thinking about taking a 4 week course with the European Bartender School (EBS). Do you think thats a good way to start? Also I'm old enough to drink at bars and restaurants but not but alchol from the store so I can't really teach myself until next year.

@StevetheBartender_ 5 жыл бұрын

Self-learned. I’ve worked in bars for many years but took more of an interest in the last 5 years. Tbh I don’t know enough about the different bartender schools to recommend anything but from what I hear, EBS is one of the better ones. What country are you in? I didn’t realise the drinking and purchasing age was different..

@JibbanTV 5 жыл бұрын

@@StevetheBartender_ Okay! I'm from Sweden so the legal drinking age is 18 but that only goes for bars and restaurants. We have a kind of "state monopoly" on alcohol. There is one store that can sell alcohol in Sweden called Systembolaget and to purchase the stronger stuff you need to be 20. I´m 19 right now but I'll be 20 next spring so not too far away. So basically I can drink when I go out but I can't buy liquor to take home.

I don't have Peatis but I do Sambuca which has anise flavor. Think that'll work ?

@mszoomy 5 жыл бұрын

I'm not a professional but my thinking is yes but since Sambucca is like a schnapps, you may want to substitute it for both the simple syrup that he muddled the mint with as well as the pastis. That way you're not adding even more sugar but maintaining the flavor? Does that make sense?

@StevetheBartender_ 5 жыл бұрын

Ms Zoomy is correct about the sugar content but it’s negligible at such a small measurement (7.5mL) - Pastis has under 100g/l (0.75g of sugar per 7.5mL measure) - Sambucca has around 350g/l (2.6g of sugar per 7.5mL) - Simple syrup has 625g/l of sugar (14g per 22.5mL) - To reduce the sugar by 1.85g to match the original sugar content, you need to lower the simple syrup to 19.5mL - so pretty negligible... Sorry my first effort was wrong as I didn’t calculate the fact their was a 1/3 of the volume of Pastis to Simple Syrup 😳

How come you rarely double strain in videos? Just for aesthetics and to be faster, or is there another reason?

@StevetheBartender_ 5 жыл бұрын

I don't think it's necessary despite most other people's beliefs. Fine straining has only been around for the past 30 years and I think many people do it without thinking why. The point of fine straining is to A) remove ice shards and B) remove pulp, pips, etc. If you have a decent hawthorn strainer, it will hold those ice shards back and I double strain my pulp at the time of juicing (I assume most bars do too) so I don't feel there is any need for fine straining (unless muddling mint - but this is completely up to personal preference, I don't mind a strain little mint fleck). Have a read here, this article discusses both sides: www.diffordsguide.com/en-au/encyclopedia/562/cocktails/fine-straining-double-straining-cocktails
