What a show. It makes me think I’d be a lot cooler if I smoked and drank everyday
*whispers* you would be.
It`s a dangerous show. Product placements that brainwash people into doing stupid shit. In 2019 i was in Tokyo on holliday alone, and i was sitting at the bar at the hotel wanting to socialise with people. So what did i do?. I bumed a cigarette from a guest at the hotell, and we started to talk... But the point of my story was that i hadn`t smoked a cigarette in 15 years. But what got me started was that i was watching " House of Cards", where Kevin Spacy is smoking a ciggarete with his smoking hot wife... A brilliant product placement same as in this show.
My point is that it`s easy to be seduced into thinking that smoking is cool because these fictions tells us it is cool. But reality is that it is not. It`s going to make you addicted fast and then make you feel like a loser. Not masculin and sexy as the show makes it look like.
@@Ikaros23 well said
@@Ikaros23 I’d agree if I hadn’t watched the whole show. They make it pretty clear that smoking is terrible in the show
(if you aren’t watching clips on TY)
And all day long 😂
This scene is so relaxing
You're goddamn right.
A day at the office for these guys was like 4 of my saturday nights rolled into one day lol.
That is the best line I have read in a long time
Chelcie is just pure class. Always love when he’s in the cast
Up your butt, Jobu
remember when the show started to air and more and more people at my favourite bar started to order old fashioneds.
With cheap bourbon no doubt. If you’re going to order a classic, order it right.
I bet they order it wearing a t-shirt 🤣
Whiskey Sour for me. I don’t think most bartenders would understand Old Fashioned
Lot easier to remember than Bond's drink.
@@zchris87v80 if you’re going to get an expensive whiskey why would you ruin it with sugar?
An old fashioned is made for mid range whiskey IMO
The clear and crisp sound effects made this scene
This is one of my favorite drinks because of this show.
Me too! Lol
It's a wonderful drink, but I prefer a Manhattan.
Whenever I watch Mad Men, my go to drink is either an old fashioned or a bourbon on the rocks
part of it is because of the reverence they both give to the drink
It’s the most basic of wealthy white men drinks
After all these years I've realized he's making a Wisconsin Old Fashioned.
Hes not really, hes making an old fashioned that was evolved after the original whisky cocktail. A Wisconsin is with brandy and the orange, cherry sugar and bitters are muddles to a near paste and then topped with crushed ice...
not with rye he's not.
@@johnkirchner1771 hes making do
This is brandy country. You'd have to specify, otherwise. Anywhere else, you order it as brandy old fashioned. I much prefer a strong Manhattan to a whiskey old fashioned, anyway.
Every time i have an Old Fashioned i feel like Don Draper.
“It’s different inside”
What does it mean?
@@dimitarapostolov9788Things are never as good as they seem from the outside looking in.
@@dimitarapostolov9788 "There is a large difference between 'wanting' and 'having'"
@@mccanlessdesign Ah, the perfect Betty Draper quote. Well played.
'it's toasted'
Best scene in madmen history.
Fact.
Nah.
Don and Joan at the bar is better.
Naaaa not the best, so many better scenes in this great show
Not at all.
The Rye Whiskey is old overholt, personally I don’t like adding the club soda, but try it for yourself. I would recommend expressing a lemon and orange peel into the drink
Club soda is fine as it helps to break down the sugar. I think with normal water you use that little bit more.
Do t forget the bitters
Club soda ruins it for me. I prefer rye, a simple syrup (usually Demerara) and orange and angostura bitters. Then garnish like you said
@@guyincognito9831 this is the proper way
@@guyincognito9831 drinking it as I read your comment ❤️
I absolutely loved "Mad Men" but it's not believable that Don Draper would not have recognized Conrad Hilton.
The man was always in the press. There were photos of him in the newspapers and magazines constantly, and Don stayed abreast of the news.
Might have something to do with the fact he mistook him for the bartender at first. That first impression creates a powerful bias that might be hard to shake.
it's one thing to see a photo of somebody in the paper, but in real life, they always look different. Not many people recognized the Queen of England when they passed her on the trail near Balmoral (setting plays a big part in it too). And lot of celebrities have stories about how people come up to them and say "You look just like 'X', has anyone ever told you that?" even though they are 'X'.
@@andrewpodolio59 if you worked in campaigns for political parties and royal families you would recognize the queen. Don is in advertising, he would know Hilton.
@@ndantona92 thats why when they met again and he finally realized it was Hilton, Don said "I really should have known that." But Connie said, 'ah, I don't know. Now, after this comes out next week," holding a mock-up of his Time magazine cover, suggesting that he wasn't as well known of a public figure as he would soon be (there's a difference between being known within an industry and to the public in general). And even then he quipped about the cover "I think I look like an Arab," sort of implying that he wouldn't blame Don for not recognizing him even if they had met after it was released.
@@ndantona92bad comparison
Wow, that's how you write dialog.
Hey bartender! Jobu needs a refill!
Are you telling me jesus christ can't hit a curveball
This is one clutch comment.
Up your butt, Jobu
Perfect 10/10.
I was today years old when I realized Conrad is played by the same actor as Harris
That old fashioned looks like it would taste terrible honestly. Sugar not dissolved. Full of soda water. No expressed orange peel, just a slice plopped in at the end.
Terrible I know but honestly that wasn't far off of how they were made back in that Era.
he did say he was in a hurry lol.
And the orange peel should be flamed so that the oil infuses properly. That is a waste of good rye.
Recipe from the 1900 is different from the 1960s. Pick up a copy of bartenders bar book from the 60s, technique is on point to the times. Good luck!
@@natalieb.1254 You're correct. The Don Draper Old Fashioned is indeed the way they were made in bars in the '60s. The craze for historically authentic cocktails was not a thing back then.
Conrad Hilton is America condensed into one person.
Born in New Mexico in 1877; right at the peak of the Wild West & he died having built a global hotel empire. Talk about witnessing the birth of a superpower.
Great scene. One of my fsvorites. But i dont know if only happens to me, when don is making the oldf.... i can hear connie but dont understand what is saying. The only thing is don making that great drink
Chelcie Ross, a very fine character actor.
The writing, the acting, the settings. #1 The Sopranos. Tie for #2. Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Agreed
How to make friends - Lesson 1.
And that, is Conrad Hilton lol
Classic litmus test for every bar. If they cannot make an Old Fashioned, walk right out.
Call me new fashioned, but muddling sugar isn’t the best way to release the flavor if consumed slowly. Preparing a simple syrup makes for a sipping drink.
@@zchris87v80 I've tried it with cane sugar syrup and found it far too sweet. A sugar cube works fine so long as you add 10ml of water to it when muddled and stir it 'til it becomes syrup.
I mean... no barman. So no drink at all
I was a barman in the Scottish Highlands and I cannot make any cocktails. If you walked out, that's fine. But you're missing out on a lot of good malt and a lot of good local beer.
this goes to show always be friendly and sociable cuz you never know who can be a potential opportunity in business.
I only saw about 2oz. of Rye go into that mixing glass. Lol
I noticed when I was a kid that I hate weddings, too. Not the people who work during them, you do what you have to, but the people they're for. The people putting on a show of just how much they want you to see them. The actual ceremony takes minutes, the state changes your status so they can take more of your money and then you spend all day drifting between people you barely like under necessary circumstances, everyone trying to get drunk or leave. Even funerals are better.
Watched this years ago to learn how to make Old Fashioneds
did he put club soda in it?
Drinking an old fashion as I watch this. Bourbon over rye but in a pinch.....
Bourbon is way better in my opinion
How else are you gonna get rid of all that rye whiskey in your cabinet though?
"It's different inside."
proves to be true time and time again...
“Who are you hiding from?”
Two people talking and reminiscing. Something you don't see anymore. Everyone is in a hurry and wants to argue. Sad. Truly sad.
Take a walk outside your home once lol. Plenty of conversation going on at a local dive.
What a revolting way to make an Old Fashioned. It has about as much seltzer water as a High Ball.
Awesome scene, awesome drink, terrible version, by Don 😌🤷♀️
I brook no bullshit
This scene looks like the typical encounter (cinematics) that you can have in red dead redemption 2 when there is a ? in the map
I love an Old Fashioned. And an Old Fashioned does not have club soda in it.
Club soda in an old fashioned?
Does anyone recognise the bourbon (or rye?) Don is using for this Old Fashioned?
It's a rye. Old Overholt.
Old overholt, a favorite of the real doc Holiday I think. I know it was a favorite of one of the people from tombstone.
A note of authenticity. During the time in which this was set Old Overholt was about the only rye commonly available.
Till Prohibition and through WWII, rye was basically *the* American whiskey, except in the South, where bourbon ruled.
By the '60s bourbon had eclipsed rye, and not much rye was seen.
Old Overholt was one of the whiskies that was allowed to be made through Prohibition because it was used by the Army, among others, as medicinal spirits, available to the public by doctors' prescription.
Old Overholt is a really approachable rye. Quite sweet. Good for mixing or drinking neat. Relatively affordable too. One of my essential ryes to have in my home bar. My other favourites are Bulleit and Rittenhouse. Lot 40 is also a good Canadian rye called for in some classic cocktails like the "Toronto".
OLD OVERHOLT
Should I watch this show?
YES!
Yes...great show
1000 times yes. Best show ever.
@@fleetadmiralperry3389 ):
I presume you have by now, if not what are you waiting for? See it!
Don needs to try some Scotch!
Shit tastes like poison.
How about a "blood & sand"? Scotch and blood orange liqueur. Here, I made you one: 🍸 enjoy, sir
Or irish
Well, like others have mentioned, that wasn't exactly a proper Old Fashioned. I'm not saying I wouldn't drink it with them, but still...
There are different ways of making the old fashioned. Some will use ice and some will not. Others use soda water to help dissolve the sugar.
I suppose he made it the way that easiest for him at the time. I would have been slower and a little bit more methodical.
@@bighands69 It's not just the ice (which dilutes the drink into a watered down mess)....use a single large cube or ball, it's also how he muddles the fruit at the bottom of the glass. That is just incorrect. You're supposed to peel off a strip of orange skin to garnish the glass with. No source of history was that drink made with mashed up fruit at the bottom of the glass. This version is not accurate.
@@eyesofascension8678 he’s muddling the sugar cubes and bitters - not fruit.
The point is that he's just a dude who likes to drink. Not a professional bartender following some pedantic protocol about the "right" or "wrong" way. In their world the right way is however you like it. Or however you know how to fix it.
its an old fashioned for that time. Very usual to have different types of the classic old fashioned as time goes by
2 Things: 1) This is great...seeing how REAL men, spoke to one another. In those days. Weakness was NOT considered a virtue. Straight drinking...straight talking. And you looked each other in the eye when doing both. 2) The guy who plays Conrad Hilton...was PERFECTLY cast.
Try living a bit before getting nostalgic about a past one watches on television shows.
@@VanderlyndenJengoldgo bother someone else there buddy.
@@VanderlyndenJengoldAre you in favor of safe spaces?
"Straight drinking" as they drink a sugary, watered down old fashioned. You're not as hard as you think you are.
Wtf are you on about. Weakness is not considered a virtue today anymore than it was then. Stop watching fox news and taking Mad Men for face value and live in reality for one day. Also, anyone afraid of vulnerability is weak by definition. Some boys never grow up.
I admire how he not only made himself a drink, but he also made one for the bartender. I respect a person who shows an appreciation to minimum wage workers
that guy is Conrad Hilton a guest at the wedding. The scene is very confusing.
@@rtyughvbn12 I don't know, it seemed pretty clear that he was a wedding guest, not a bartender
Love this scene. It bothers me that Don Draper didn't wash his hand before touching the sugar cubes. He probably shook a lot of hands at the party and then he's sticking his fingers in the drinks.
Luckily Bobbie Barret wasn't there either. Those fingers would have been mighty pungent.
Alcohol disinfects they’ll be fine
Pretty sure the bitters would kill anything, its high in alcohol.
A little fish finger to an Old Fashioned that special something.
Back in the day people didn't give a shit about such small things and they weren't snowflakes either
Jon Hamm come out
Pro tip Don: Don't muddle the sugar cube. Use a little bit of the soda water and it'll dissolve right quick.
That drinks looks so goooooood
You should try it that's my drink every time I come home from work.
It's one of the best cocktails ever invented because it's so 'no nonsense' it almost isn't even a cocktail. Basically high quality whiskey, slightly sweetened, with ibitters, an orange peel and ice. You can't go wrong with it.
The funny thing is that’s not how an old fashion is made
You're right but there are a couple of explanations. The drink he makes is pretty similar to a Wisconsin Old Fashioned, and he says when he hops over the bar that he "doesnt have a lot of time" so you can assume that he is throwing together a quick cocktail with what he has (he definitely did not stir it enough either). But yea, its definitely not the standard Old Fashioned but it's a cool variant
Looks like a garbage old fashioned. The bourbon has been sitting in ice. It doesn't need more water. Muddled fruit is gross too. I want to taste the bourbon and bitters.
That was not an old fashioned. Soda water? Good God no
🤣 touched a nerve? lol
@@attila_the_hunk9685 big time. I'm a cocktail snob, sue me lol
@@damianthorne7495 Schweppes ⭐⭐⭐ Michelin rated
While it might be a bit odd the way he made it here, it's totally common for bartenders to add soda water, the difference is they usually add it over the sugar cube and bitters to help dissolve and add a touch of dilution. So not as sacrilegious as it might seem.
iyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiiyyiy ow oooo that stings yeshhhhhhh.
thats what pure pain reads like
The old fashioned is one disgusting drink. I tried it twice because movies always glamorize it. It does not taste good.
Ol'fa
I love how every poster here uses this clip not to talk about the magnificent masterpiece of a show and scene but instead try to show off their armchair bar tending knowledge to a bunch of anonymous RUclipsrs.
This clip and show is not about bartending, idiots. Let’s try and focus on the purpose here.
Trey Warnock well, in fairness it *is* titled “Don Draper’s Old Fashioned”, and this *is* a highly unorthodox recipe
@@CaptainBeetheart Eh, you make some fair points, damn it. :)
@@latinolawdog5067
There is nothing wrong with the dapper method and he did it the way that was easiest for him. Some people go way over the top as if it is nuclear chemistry.
Guilty as charged. Lol. Love the show though.
An old fashioned with soda water? Surely that's a highball. And he should be flaming the orange peel.
I was drinking Old-Fashioneds in the 90s onward before they came surging back in popularity. Went to bartending school and worked in 3 different places: night club, piano bar (quiet most nights with weekend show tunes singalongs) and an upscale restaurant. Rye is what you want but sometimes a sweeter profile suits me just fine like Makers with a splash of 7 vs club and extra bitters. Dont forget to flame the orange peel and break out the Luxardo.
"Dont forget to flame the orange peel"
That's very gay.
The only thing I dont like about this scene is that Don is using the muddler backwards.
The water in the rye did it for me.
CrampedStyle I believe it was club soda
CrampedStyle mind you that doesn’t make it any better
@@Prometheus7272 If it was, it makes it worse.
@@-CrampedStyle-
Soda can help to break down the sugar by fizzing up so as create a paste. Don just made it the way that he liked.
Lame
Thats a terrible looking old fashioned
