This recipe might be one of my favorites and it first appears in Charles H. Baker’s “Gentleman’s Companion or Around the World with Jigger, Beaker and flask
Most known for his iconic Cocktail books which has regained traction as cocktails have become increasingly popular, Charles H. Baker started his career as a Magazine Editor in New York City submitting stories to smaller publications. In 1932 he met and married Pauline Elizabeth Paulson who was the heiress to the Paulson Mining Fortune. They lived in coconut Grove Florida in a house Pauline built for them where they remained for 30 years.
Baker spent most of his career traveling the world chronicling food and drink for publications like Esquire, Gourmet and Town & Country. It was for the magazine Gourmet that he wrote a column called “Here’s How” and it was these recipes he collected into his two volume Set: The Gentleman’s Companion.

A good replacement for both Chartreuses is a Basque product called Izarra. It also comes in yellow and green.

The Bacardi building in Havana is very cool. It's still standing but somewhat empty looking. All the door hardware still has the bat logo and the tip top of the building has a bat statue/cap on it. We saw it 10 years ago or so. It's basically a high-rise..

I just visited Havana last week. There is a Bacardi building still there with a Bacardi bat on the top. We didn't visit the building but it was pointed out as their headquarters by our tour guide. There are quite a few modern buildings but mostly hotels and resorts serving the tourist trade. There are also a lot of refurbished areas downtown due to UN money flowing in to restore and protect the city center as a UNESCO heritage site.

Strega is a fine substitute for Yellow Chartreuse.

Great drink. I don't keep yellow chartreuse in my home bar, though. Space is at a premium. I'll have to try this cocktail out at a bar sometime.

@toerklintv4185 7 ай бұрын

My best guess too is that Baker was talking about the Bacardi Building (Edificio Bacardí) in Havana. It was built around 1930 and was the Headquarter of Bacardí until 1959. It was one of the most modern buildings in Cuba at the time.

@TheEducatedBarfly 7 ай бұрын

indeed, that's the building we show in the video as well.

@toerklintv4185 7 ай бұрын

@@TheEducatedBarfly I stopped the video a few seconds before you mentioned it and wrote the comment because it appeared as if you would just argue about what defines a "small skyscraper". The Bacardi Building really looks like a "small skyscraper" though. That's why I edited the text and added a "too" to my first sentence.

I think Genepy is the best substitute for yellow chartreuse. I’ve made dozens of Naked and Famous with it. I’ve tasted it side by side with yellow chartreuse and while different if I was blindfolded I couldn’t tell you which was which. I feel like since everyone has said it’s a replacement for green chartreuse no one wants to say it’s a replacement for yellow. I say there is no substitute for green chartreuse.

@Nasosdag 7 ай бұрын

Oooh that looks tasteh... luckily we can still find Chartreuse in Europe (the monks did not stop making it, they just decided to not scale up production to meet the increasing demand), but at a slightly higher price. But good alternatives will start popping up and that is fine. Even DIY alternatives made by talented dudes and dudettes, who gracefully share their recipes. I would love to know what kind of glass you used, if you happen to know.

@sqrmap 7 ай бұрын

I have always been told that for a cocktail to be a Daisy, it must be primarily a base spirit, orange liqueur (like Curacao or Triple Sec), and citrus juice. Has this definition changed over time?

@Mouse2379 7 ай бұрын

To my understanding it’s a cocktail that gets most of its sweetness from a liquor and citrus juice rather then syrup. So it still doesn’t quite fit…

@hgjfkd12345 6 ай бұрын

@@brianchassee even though there is ice in the drink, it is being used to shake and doesn't always go in the drink. And even if it was (like in this video), the longer that drink sits, the more the drink gets diluted. The idea is to chill the glass beforehand so the ice melts slower\the drink stays colder longer

Having returned from Cuba yesteday, I acnknowledge Bacardi's relevancy in the history of rummaking, but I just cannot find myself getting behind the taste it has. Any (almost) other rums are ones I would favor over bacardi superior. But in the name of keeping an open mind, any bacardi superior lovers around, what makes this rum something you enjoy?

@jonnyboybrownie6390 7 ай бұрын

Would it work with the stronger green chartreuse ?

@Cajerunner 7 ай бұрын

Green and Yellow have a very different flavor profile in my opinion. Green has black pepper notes and is more herbal. Yellow is much sweeter with aromatics that lean more towards anise. You could try it, but I feel like you’d be making a different cocktail. I’ve made a Last Word that calls for Green, and substituted Yellow, and it wasn’t nearly as balanced/tasty. Let us know how this is using green if ya give it a shot. Cheers!

Unrelated to the cocktail, but I have the same style jigger and have been watching the channel for a bit... how do you measure out a 1/4 oz with the bottom base 🤔. A full pour seems a bit much? I've just been eyeballing half of the 1/2 oz measure.

@TheEducatedBarfly 6 ай бұрын

You’ve got to eye it. The bottom is actually 3/8 filled all the way up all you need is to pour a little short
