A great vital presentation of the spiritual drinks, awkwardly elegant my man

I followed this recipe and I have to say it's probably the best OF I've ever had. I used Old Forester 100.

I love it when my bartender constantly licks his fingers while making my drink 3:01, 3:26, 4:24. Lol jk I know hes making it for himself. I like the smoked old fashioned.

Nice twist to the episodes by creating a drink. A definite plus!

Amazing!! Old Fashions are my favorite.. and you sure know how to make them! I especially love the smoked one! Thanks for sharing! 💖🥃

Excellent! I appreciate your unpretentious enthusiasm. Cheers!

By far the BEST tutorial I have ever seen on You Tube concerning mixing a cocktail. Well Done Sir !!!

Finally someone that’s educated on the star of the show , the actual spirit! Cheers my friend! And FYI your mix was very good and balanced!!!!

Excellent, love the recipe and even more the presentation. Thank you

Absolutely love your recipe, instruction and love of the drink! I bought a smoker from a work shop and love using it for our drinks, cheese crackers etc. Going to do your drink tomorrow, many thanks!

A professional that lick his fingers and grab the ice! Wow so professional!

LOL! Exactly what I was looking for. Gonna go practice this now. BTW.. Love the dedication and humor on this video. Ignore the haters.. you sir must be a blast to hang out with.

Looks wonderful, I am going to bring the smoked old fashion to my bar, I think my guests will love it thankyou

Beautiful simple Old Fashion with quality bourbon. Love it!

Awesome. I love a good Old Fashioned and the smoke version would be great as well. I'm gonna try this recipe at home as well. Thanks for this video!👍👍

Loved the reactions😍👍

what a great presentation! loves every second haha, i wish that was me taking that first sip, looked heavenly

Hu hu!! The best Old Fashioned video ever!! Your reactions are so genuine that they inspire an urgent desire to go grab one now!! Congrats. 👏👏👏

Great episode! Thanks

Good stuff...detailed and spoke very clearly.

Fabulous 10 year old Bourbon - such good, intense flavour that doesn't lose flavour as the cocktail dilutes, if it is being sipped slowly and that is so important! Great bartender, lots of knowlededge. I love "it's very spirit dependent!!!" It is so true! Great bitters - love orange and Angostura! 2 beautiful ounces of Bourbon is fabulous and so delicious! I love this cocktail!! :-) Yes, stir! No shaking or anything else - just stir - right on!!!

Love your passion dude just made one (unsmoked) great simple recipe.

The large number of variations in such a simple cocktail are amazing.

Thanks! Nice video. Great passion for the craft

The best recipe I have seen to date. Thanks.

Great video. Good choice using McKenna 10. My favorite!

One of the best (unsmoked) old fashioned recipes I've experienced. Love the clarity and taste of the drink as you made it. Anxious to try the smoked version... sometime when my wife isn't paying attention to what I'm doing in the kitchen....

Nice torch, great video

Great video!

inspired me to buy a smoke kit and wow that new dimension is beyond! Bless you brother

Nice. I would make sure to make this my first drink so I can appreciate it.

Great video! I've been experimenting with different variations of the Old Fashion. Something I tried I found worked well was making a brown sugar simple syrup and then I smoked the syrup. Gives the beverage a nice caramel smoky flavor.

This guy is on my wavelength. Subbed!

I love your video!!

Wow Mr. I freeking love the way you talk.... blessings.

Awesome gonna give it a whirl, my favorite drink

The smoking process is amazing! It will be delicious in The Old Fashioned!!

Simply the best recipe!

This is how I prefer my old fashioned. I also love the simple syrup as well.

I've tried making both of these and they came out perfect. It's been about 6 months now and I make them this way every time. Thanks for a great OF recipe. It's perfect.

just discovering your channel, keep up the good work sir!

great vid Bud

Great video ! Thanks so much ..

I have been making and smoking my own for awhile, but you taught me something by smoking the ice! Fantastic. I like to spritz the glass with absinthe before I smoke it seems to help the smoke stick to the glass...it’s an Improved Whiskey Cocktail, I guess at that point

Super dope!!

Your first is my exact same go-to recipe.

Definitely a great video. I got to go purchase a wood plank now 😁

Excellent

I'm going to have to try that smoked thing sometime - looks delicious. I actually prefer the different textures in my Old Fashioned though, so I muddle turbinado sugar with bitters and sometimes an orange slice.

Incredible music.

Love it, I use a FogHat. You make em just like I do

Had Blue Danube playing in my head all day today, then I checked out your video. I can't escape it! I will try this. Thanks, my friend. I'm about to try Michter's Rye with 2 dashes of Bitter Truth Bogart's bitters and two dashes of Feegan's (Demerara gum syrup, citrus peels).

Awesome 😊

That McKenna is Bonded and badass but after winning awards is impossible to find now..... great recipe. The smoked one was super! Thanks

If you like gen and tonic use Hendrick's gen and cucumber to garnish it. They showed me that in Scotland and it's so good they sell a special peeler for the cucumber

That’s new fashion!!!!

On the smoked old fashioned, I would recommend brûléeing an orange slice and adding to the drink instead of the peel. Just a little twist to add a touch more sweetness and smokiness. As a side note, black walnut bitters instead of the orange and angostura bitters is a delicious touch to the smoked old fashioned as well. Cheers!

I love how dedicated this dude is. Cocktails can't be messed around / "everything goes" doesn't always work with cocktails. It's a precise chemistry and I appreciate it when the guides don't make it easy for the amateurs just because we're amateurs. I'm trying your non-smoked OF right now and it's amazing.

Looks awesome! Very well done! Subbed. What are your thoughts on smoke guns?

Love this video 4 so many reasons...i can't count!

This channel is under rated.

Great video, son!

I’m going to suggest a couple of things to take your smoked old-fashioned to the next level: 1) Substitute two bar spoons of maple syrup for the simple syrup (thanks to the How to Drink channel for this idea) 2) Dip a wet bar spoon into turbinado sugar (although any will do), brûlée it with the torch and stir into the drink. It won’t fully dissolve but that’s okay. You still get the flavor of the burnt sugar in the same way the smoke permeates the ice, and you already have the torch so might as well use it to explore the wonderful world of caramel and burnt sugar flavors.

1st ... Awesome stuff! Thanks TER! 2nd ... what kind of torch are you using? Didn't see a link for it :) :(

I’ve heard the smoke does a great job of binding to ice. What are your thoughts on a smoke chamber with burning wood chips, where the smoke bathes the ‘mouth up’ glass and its contents (sugar/bitters/large ice cube), adding the bourbon/garnish at the last? Love the video and the wink for no reason. 😄

This looks so good my favorite sipping spirit on a regular basis is macallan 25 year yes its pricey very pricey but I dont care it's that good

Awesome video. Can’t find that Jobon torch for the life of me.. any chance you have the exact description or link? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Well done I love the smoked old fashioned I use the same bitter's as well.. my question does the luxardo cherries make that big of a difference I'm on the fence about buying them but I love to drink. For my spirits I've used Weller Green label Larceny and just enjoying one now watching your video using BarnBurner small Batch

What do you think about substituting the simple syrup with a rich demarara syrup? Great video!

What are your thoughts on other whiskeys like Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek for an Old Fashioned? I've tried those and even did a mixture of 2 or all 3 and it came out really good. I also use an Italian Wild Cherry like Longorn steakhouse uses in their signature Old Fashioned and they have a very unique flavor. Thanks again for the great video!!

Does anybody else just appreciate that he didn't ask you to subscribe at the end

This is fantastic! I have seen a few that use club soda which did not seem right at all and I am not a fan of a muddled Old Fashioned. Thank you and I enjoyed the format. Cheers and what do you know I am drinking an Old Fashioned as I type!

What was the ice cube mold you use?

You are a hoot!

When he said this is the way I was sold, hes a mandalorian. @4:48

Cool Oberon glass! -from K-zoo

I often use Old Forester 100 Rye. It's excellent at any price but happens to be very reasonably priced.

i absolutely agree that the simple syrup is better than straight sugar

Can you link the molds and chips? I can’t find it. The best drink I’ve ever had (my friend copied this and made me one!)

Curious if using a dash of liquid smoke would suffice instead of having to smoke wood chips. Making a smoky version of this cocktail in an apartment could set off some alarms if not careful. With liquid smoke, I may be able to bypass the actual smoke. Thoughts?

lol!😅 he has a painting of a Zombie Einstein on his wall! Why is Einstein a zombie in that piece of art? How humorous. This video this popped up in my feed because I have been watching a lot of Japanese bartender asmr videos lately.

Thanks for sharing thus step by step old fashioned. I love old fashions and heard about the fancy smoked style. Thus video explained it perfectly. Loved the human element to this. And I must say that beard is fucking glorious. No homo.... thanks again man!

How many times did he suck on his fingers tho? I hope he doesn’t serve drinks like that.

Nicely done, my man!

Hi Where can i purchase the hickory smoked chips and do i need a specific kind of board to burn the chips?

* * Learn mixology from me via Zoom ! ! For more info more head over here: www.lionskillbevconsult.com * *

How much of a difference does it make if you don’t add the orange peel ?

If there is one change I dont mind and actually prefer to be done in an old fashioned is using simple syrup over a sugar cube, it just dosnt mix that well using cold or room temperature liquid with sugar and sometimes you can even feel small particles of sugar in your mouth at the end making a crunchy texture.

Could you do a hickory smoked amaretto sour

I smoke my old fashioned cocktails. But I burn rosemary to create the smoke. Its really good.

Do you have the link for the torch?

Do you ever toast the orange peel?

Can you reuse the board several times?

That is the way

What do say to building the cocktail and then exposing it to hickory wood smoke?

This guy really reminds me of Gale Boetticher from Breaking Bad

Dont leak your fingers and you will be the STAR of the Show

What bar does homeboy work at? Its in Chicago right?

Where did u get a torch like that for $20?

Guy had a org sipping that drink lol
