    Stick with me here! Bit of a deep dive on creative boundaries in the classic cocktail world. Cheers! 🥃
    You don't need all these bottles to make one Deshler, but you can get them all at Curiada! 👉 bit.ly/Andersbackbarspirits

      Sounds delicious. Stopping at Binny's today to pick up the Dubonnet - def trying this tonight. Might get some Lillet Rouge
      and Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao too ... looks super interesting. I dig swapping thing out, we've been doing that with the Ward 8 this week (Office Recipe Book version) trying with regular lemon and meyer lemon (which really works great).

    In philosophy, there's a thought experiment called the "Ship of Theseus," which asks how many alterations/repairs a ship at sea can undergo while being identical to the ship that initially set sail. In light of this, I suggest that we call the modified, modern Deshler the "Sip of Theseus."

  • @Rcorp31
    @Rcorp31 2 года назад +44

    Other than the actual cocktails themselves, the best part of this channel is the history portion. It really makes me appreciate the cocktail even more. History transforms a cocktail from just a tasty concoction to a story. It’s brilliant. I hope that you merge with The Rake or Mr. Porter. You’re just what they need.

  • @joshuacaulfield
    @joshuacaulfield Год назад

    This was great! I made a non Deshler: 2oz bourbon, 1oz sweet vermouth, 1/4 oz Cointreau, and 2 dashes angostura orange bitters, because that is what I had available. It was good. As I am drinking it in hot weather and want it to last a little longer, after several tastings, I added 2oz of orange seltzer just to give it some volume and make it a slightly less spirit forward drink. Thanks for the video.

    Not too much, but you knew that. I know it may feel a little loose, and if you were doing one of your skills or deep history episodes it “might be”, but…. This is a workshopping video and your loose style and ability to bounce into the current aspect of the drink/process/story is actually a nice way of being present in the moment with your audience. Thank you.

I love the history aspect, I love the focus on not doing anything unnecessary but what IS done should be done well. The graphics and overall aesthetics are great too, and not too heavy on the manly man man-cave vibe which are endlessly tiring. Thank you again! I look forward to every video!

    So, use the "Newbonnet", eh? Now, off to my local to pick up a bottle and play w/ the Deshler options. Always appreciate the background and history you share - super-interesting how these thing morph and change over time. I love when you bring Az around, as her reactions are genuine and come from a place of not having experienced these drinks, which is great to see. You two have definitely boosted my interest in knocking about with cocktails - my girlfriend is both happy, since I'm making new fun drinks and miserable, since our bottle "collection" has exploded from maybe a hundred or so (mostly Scotch and bourbon) to probably twice that in the past several weeks... Cheers, and keep these coming!

  • @jmelleens
    @jmelleens 2 года назад

    Re: the original, Hugo Ensslin's Deshler - in terms of shaking, I think I saw somewhere (in relation to the martini, but I suppose this would apply to all cocktails we consider to be stirrable ones these days) that back in the 19th century, whenever the drink was supposed to be shaken, it was not necessarily aggresively shaken like we do it today, but rather wiggled in a shaking tin, in a similar manner to stirring, so to incorporate but not to aerate the cocktail too much. Perhaps that explains the original recipe being shaken?
    That being said, the ratios probably resemble tastes of the time and the reality of classic cocktails is - the classic version is not always the best one. Just because someone printed it in a book doesn't make it automatically taste amazing.
    Thanks for the great content Anders!

    I'm going to agree with most of the comments here - a well-balanced video in two ways. First, between the history, the philosophy, and the recipe, and second, the balance between the expert Anders and the layperson Az. She is the secret ingredient. Keep it up!

    When bartenders get too uptight or obsessive in their adherence to the "original" recipes it can choke creativity to explore, and as you so pointed out, potentially improve the cocktail.

    As others have said, it's the stories, histories, and presentation that sets your channel apart from others. You don't have to look 'slick' to present well (and better).
    Went out tonight and added Dubonnet to my bar (I've got Lillet Blanc but can't get Rouge). With my homemade whiskey, it's quite tasty. The Dubonnet is only a little more than basic Port but has a nice fruitiness to it. Will have to see how it goes in a Porto Flip.

    I like the deep dive! I’m all about the story behind the drinks, so the more the merrier.
    But more so, I like watching you two interact with each other - you make a great duo!
    Can’t wait until next week, keep it up!

    The deshler is my favorite cocktail and makes me feel fancy when I say it

    Apart from the indescribably weird pronunciation of quinine, I love this channel! We've upped the cocktail game in my house by lots of levels!
