Not sure where in the world you are, but back in 1980's Britain we had a chain of steakhouse restaurants called "Berni Inns". Along with the desert menu, they had a menu of alcoholic coffees (Mum was an Irish girl by heritage and coffee preference) as a teenager I hated the things, and I still do, but my late great Mum had the wisdom to say "try it before it's tipped in the coffee". Thanks Mum.

interesting chemistry note - getting banana's from the vermouth + citrus probably means the vermouth base spirit had wheat as at least part of its grain base. The side product esters from wheat fermentation when exposed to citric acid change to esters that the palette detects as other fruits (usually berry or banana depending on ph and other compounds present).

I've always had an interest in mixology but this channel has encouraged me to really pursue that interest and I'm currently lined up to be trained as a bartender at my job (I work at a movie theatre that has a bar). This channel has helped me with some techniques but more importantly, it expands my knowledge of ingredients and cocktails which is a useful thing to have (I want to get to a point where I can have a cocktail or two in mind if someone tells me the flavors they like and dislike, or even if they give me an "I'm in the mood for [blank]" sort of comment)

Hi there! You'll probably won't see this, but here, in North Eastern Spain (Catalonia), we have a huge sweet vermouth tradition. There are many cellars that make their own, so you can try the differences from one village to the next. And we drink vermouth on the rocks quite often, particularly in summer evenings. It is so common that we oft refer to the time before supper as "the time of vermouth" (l'hora del vermut), and going for an appetiser is very commonly called "going for a vermouth" (fer un vermut), even if you don't have vermouth with your appetiser.

Good call on the grapefruit! When I was a kid in the 1960s, people ate grapefruit halves with special spoons with serrated tips, and almost everyone sprinkled the flat top of a half with sugar before eating. I think you can still get white grapefruit but they’re way less popular than pink and red varieties.

@Malachiore Жыл бұрын

I was a kid in the 2000's, but we had a white grapefruit tree in our yard. I would sit in the shade and share one with my dog all through the last half of the year. We didn't have the special spoons though, just hands and claws. The sugar was optional, my dog and I like(d) tart treats. My family never bought grapefruit because of the tree, so I don't think I even saw a red grapefruit until my 20's. I thought red grapefruit were something special, like blood oranges vs normal navel oranges, but I don't think I've seen a white grapefruit since I lived in that house.

I was intimidated by the Vesper for a while, because it’s so boozy, but I finally had one a couple weeks ago, and now I can’t get enough of it.

Correction on the grapefruit thing, the red grapefruit has been around since the 1930's not the 90's. There's a couple of varieties, but the first one on record originated in the valley in south Texas in 1929. It's naturally a bit sweeter than the yellow or white grapefruit, and I think it's a little bigger too. The white ones are still out there they're just not as popular.

Loved your suggestions for rums for a Hemingway Daiquiri, but my personal favorite in my Papa Dobles has always been Charanda Uruapán from Mexico. The rotting-banana funk on that rum works great with the grapefruit and almond/cherry pit notes.

Amazing editing during the introduction of the Cosmopolitan, but wonderful to hear him talk about and professionally make those drinks.

I made it the same way forever...except I did a flamed lemon twist and used that as a way to explain the qualities of lemon oil!

For the Vesper Martini, if the Gordons you'd normally use is overproof (and perhaps not made anymore), you could try Walton Goggins' gin (Mullholland brand). All his spirits - gin, vodka, whiskey - are just a little higher proof than other common examples. The gin was surprisingly mild too, which seems like it would work well here to not overwhelm the other flavors

It’s always funny when Casablanca comes up as a reference for anything because I know of the highlight scenes but is just on the list of many to watch in the classics

Could you make a “Henry’s”? Named by the bartenders who’ve made it for me, I’ve been told it is surprisingly balanced, and I thoroughly enjoy it. It is 2 parts Jameson, 1 part St Germaine, a heavy dose of Angostura Bitters (if the parts are shots, 4 or 5 dashes), shaken with ice vigorously, strained into a short glass with no ice in it, and garnished with a lime twist (wedge or wheel can work and gives the option to squeeze a touch of lime juice into it).

In the late 90's during the swing revival, I could be found on Swing Night at the Green Mill drinking a Cosmo sitting in Al Capone's booth. Oh the memories.

One of my favorite shows and still is The 3 Stooges. I've seen remastered versions in color, and those look strange to me because I am used to seeing their shorts in black and white. I've seen Casablanca ONCE a long time ago, but don't remember anything about it. I know I've seen it, I don't think I paid much attention because I was a kid. A great uncle I have that passed recently always talked about having me over and watching Casablanca. I think I spent the whole time playing with his dog, as I remember his german shepherd puppy he named Strawberry. Never remembered why.

I'm gonna go against the grain of a lot of the people here who apparently very much enjoyed Casablanca. You didn't miss all that much; there's some good specific scenes, but mostly the first two thirds of the movie do nothing, only for every plot thread to be resolved at once in about eight minutes at the end. You'd think it was Frank Herbert's first writing exercise if you didn't know it started as a play, because reading Dune (and especially God Emperor) is the only other time I've so strongly had the simultaneous feeling that something was too short and yet overstayed its welcome. It's an important film, an influential one, and not a bad watch either, but its pacing in particular kills it compared to other movies that have hit similar notes better since.

Pink grapefruit was widely available at least in the 60s and probably before since it was grown as far back as the 1910s. Ruby Red appeared in 1929 in Texas.

I had a spliced grapefruit tree in my back yard growing up in Florida in the 1980s that gave both white and red grapefruit. So they definitely predate the 90s.

Casablanca is a classic! The Chicago Symphony Orchestra played live along to the movie for Valentine's a few years ago and it was incredible. Hopefully more people my age take the time to enjoy it.

Totally cocktail nerding out here, I was lucky enough to do a business trip to Nice, decided to catch a cab to Monaco and went to the bar at the “Casino de Monte Carlo” the bar tender was cool and patient enough to teach me how to mix multiple Vespers (yes I was buying, so he humoured me) Something I will remember for the rest of my life.
