5:07 “One day… this will be a real bar.” Came back to watch some old videos I haven’t seen yet, and this quote was awesome! Happy to see the success you’ve had since this video… and glad you finally got a table that doesn’t shake when you’re only supposed to stir😂
Thank you for showing this cocktail. I discovered the Brooklyn about a year ago. The Manhattan was just too sweet for my liking. The bartender suggested I try this. It is now my favorite.
"We we've got that cherry sitting on the bottom so we have something to shoot for" 😂😂 This looks delicious, I'm going to make one this weekend. (Very likely more than one!). Thanks for another great video Anders and Az!!
I watched one of your videos the other day, where you featured a Nick & Nora glass. In my many years of bartending, I had never worked with that glass before. I started a hotel job last night, and they have a cocktail using the same glass! It's the ONLY cocktail that they serve in it. Never too old to learn something new :)
I've been trying to force my self to start with thicker/sticky ingredients first and finish with the spirit so it washes the jigger out. This sounds tasty
Same! Also good because of what he said, which is how I learned. But when doing recipes from memory, I always end up doing this spirit's first, because that's how I have them memorized.
I had family bring me a bottle of Amer Picon while they were in Europe. It’s absolutely delicious to drink neat, and I recommend that anyone try it this way if and when they’re able. I’ve tried making the original Brooklyn with Amer Picon and comparing it to your version with Ramazzotti and Fee Brothers Orange Bitters. I must say that I prefer your version, hands-down. To your point, the current rendition of Amer Picon must be much different from the original version. Thank you for this video! Please keep the tidbits on the history of spirits coming; they are fascinating! :-)
Great video as always I substitute the Amer Picon with using Grand Marnier, i find it still offers the orange tones. Next time I will add in the orange bitters. Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Really looking forward to try this. I am going to use Roi Rene Rouge, because I love it :) I had always heard a Brooklyn was just a Rye Manhattan so this sounds better. Thanks for the content and so glad I found your channel!
I can taste it from here😋, sitting on the deck here in Texas, drinking a glass of loumelaut white bordeau. Love the vids man. Normally I would be out by the pool with a rum and cigar, but just the white tonite. Cheers.
Found the Amer Picon on a Belgian website. Not sure it was worth the shipping…but it was fun finding it and making the original recipe. Still like the Manhattan better, and I’m from Brooklyn. Thanks Anders!
Great recipe in terms of the ingredients, but I used proportions closer to those of Difford’s: 1/2 oz of Luxardo and Amaro each instead of 1/4 oz. Made for a bit less acrid/dry/bitter drink than this recipe. LOVE your channel!
3:30 - I do this same thing; always start with my base spirit. The only exception is if I'm using an egg, because I can't separate an egg white to save my life. But if I'm not using an egg, the base spirit is the first thing into the tin/glass.
@@AndersErickson great to hear 👍 I forgot to mention, I have Nonino at home so that’s what I tend to use instead of Picon. It works marvellously in Brooklyns.
Hey Anders, having this one again after a while - and man what a great cocktail.. I used Montenegro and Bulleit Rye.. Class on a chilly Autumn Evening..
Dude where were you all this time! Just found out your channel and really dig your style! I feel like wifey reaching for the cocktails from behind camera on youtube channels is trending LOL About Picon, I have a "homemade" liqueur blend that I make that is so close to the traditionnal Picon... Hit me up in DM's if you want the recipe. Cheers!
Thank you so much! I also love your channel! And yes, she doesn't always want to be on camera, but she always wants a (well-deserved) sip 😂 I'm curious about your Picon recipe. Will shoot you a DM!
Thanks for this. I'll have to start adding orange bitters. Regarding the various possible substitutes for the unavailable Amer Picon, I find that I like Averna more than Montenegro because Montenegro seems to have a eucalyptus note that doesn't go as well with whiskey to my palate. (But it does go with gin.)
Yeah, so you'll be happy to know that there is an American company making Amer Picon currently, Golden Moon Distillery in beautiful Golden, Colorado. They also have some other interesting concoctions I have yet to find a use for, one of which is Ex Gratia. Worth checking into!
out west in California and Nevada you can get Torino Amer. I understand it's close to the original Amer Picon. We can't buy it back East but we bought two bottles at the Total Wine in Reno. It's like $12 a fifth. Very nice.
❤ the history behind the cocktails…. What is the shelf life of Amaro Ramazzotti? Will Cynar work instead? The problem I have ( probably we all have) is expect of Rossi or Dolían, the aperitif’s, amaro’s and vermouth’s all come in larger bottles the I cannot use up in time or SHOULDN’T use in time lol.
So this sounded really intriguing. I had rye, dry vermouth, luxardo and orange bitters, but no amaro. I did however, have campari, which is I guess, sort if like an amaro? Anyway, I made it with campari, and I like it! Not sure it's truly a Brooklyn, but it's pretty tasty!
I made this and it was great. My wife thought it was a little boozy, so I might mix in a little more Amaro or dry vermouth. I don't know if you do requests, but my wife would like a cosmogroni, if that is a real cocktail. I've seen a few variations, but I'd like to see yours.
Anders is charming, the camera work (by Az?) is excellent and your pre-prohibition cocktails are near and dear to my heart. I'm really enjoying your channel. Do you have a Patreon so your fans can help you? I'd really like to know.
Well, it took my a year to find this video - but maybe I'll still get my answer... I have a bottle of Picon-Bière (very popular in the Alsace region of France) which should be a variation of the "basic" Picon. I guess it would work as a good substitute in this drink? Thanks & really enjoy your videos (or rather the resulting drinks?)!
I'll answer with what I know so far.. There's a few different bottles of Picon, you have Picon Bière, Picon Amer, Picon Orange and Picon Club.. I've only tasted Picon Amer and Picon Orange (I'm Belgian so all Picon are pretty easy to find around here). The description and/or ingredients labelled on the bottles are pretty much the same to be honest, they all contain orange, gentian and quinquina and what changes, is how you should mix them with. Picon Bière : "to drink straight or mixed with beer" (what a surprise.. x) ) Picon Orange : "less bitter than Picon Amer because of the addition of more orange flavouring" Picon Club : "to drink mixed with white wine, can also be drunk with champagne or lemonade with ice" Picon Amer : "to drink straight or mixer with beer OR wine, can also be drunk with sparkling wine or tonic" If it can help you, Picon Amer is the only one at 21% ABV (42 US Proof), all the others are 18% ABV (36 US Proof), and is the less sweeter and obviously the most bitter. I don't think it will make a big difference to be fair to use one or another, but it won't be the same as the one they used for the cocktail at that era as Anders stated it. The original Picon was 39% ABV (78 US Proof) and then it dropped to 25% ABV (50 US Proof) in the 1970s. I guess we'll never know the real taste of this cocktail ! =(
I couldn't find the proper amaro. I made a mix of Aperol and Orange liqueur. The cocktail was very good, but I have no idea if it was close to what it should have been!
I’m curious if you have thoughts on good alternatives to vermouth for this and other recipes? Any wine doesn’t play well with me, but I love these cocktails.
Anders! Love me a Brooklyn. This looks great and interesting, I have to try it this way, just gotta get me some Ramazotti. My version will probably be up in a few weeks 😏
Looks like a winner...except I have no more room for liquor. 😩 I may have to clear off the top of the hutch in the dining room for more bottle space. Cheers Anders 🥃
Bonus factoid: each borough is a County of the State of New York, respectively as per below: The County of; New York, Kings, Queens, Richmond, and Bronx.
Came across this video way late, but what do you think about using china-china in this cocktail instead of ramazotti and bitters? Heavier weight maybe but you’d definitely get a ton of orange.
I believe we have the same Nick and Nora glasses but for some odd reason my wash lines keep coming up short. Am I not stirring long enough or maybe not well enough? I’m sure it’ll come with practice but I’d appreciate any feedback you can offer!
I was expecting this to be nice enough as you don't seem to make anything that isn't, but I wasn't expecting it to be this nice. I didn't think I had amaro, then I remembered my impulse purchase of Eda Rhyne Appalachian Fernet. Good times.
I watched the video and realized that I have everything to make this! Your bottled version is better. It's almost like you make them for a living. Also, you would have been horrified by my stirring skills.
There are a lot of cocktails that are American, certainly the oldest recipes. 100-150 years ago, different regions within the U.S. developed their own cocktail culture, and that changes with every generation. New York, New Orleans, Chicago, and San Francisco are only some examples of that. Of course, cocktails soon made their way around the world, and now you see a blend of flavors creating wonderful drinks!
For Amaro I use 1/2 tbsp Nonino Amaro, 1/2 tbsp chocci Terinio vermout and 1tsp of Luxardo Abano Amaro... I am going to try a variation 1/4 oz of Bigalette China china also just got a bottle. I use 1/2 oz of Dolin...

Hi - Have you tried to replace the Amer Picon with "Amaro Amara"? Amaro Amara is an Sicilian Amaro made with a strong orange flavors.
Question - I don't have Luxardo but I do have Cherry Heering Liquer, do you think that is a good substitute? Love the videos, thank you!
@@oreyeskickbox Cherry Heering is sweeter, so I’d cut it back a touch.
New to the channel. Great content.. who is that music bed ? And when did you get it from?

I started a hotel job last night, and they have a cocktail using the same glass! It's the ONLY cocktail that they serve in it. Never too old to learn something new :)
I love those glasses, but never knew what they were called. I used to refer to them as "like a wine glass with the top cut off" 😂
The lighting on the finished cocktail is especially good in this video. And the close-up of the orange oils on the top. Now I'm thirsty.
Thank you, Mary! We were happy to get that shot. Cheers!
Wow that’s a punch-in-the-mouth bitter, I love it!
oh boy that cochi is a gamechanger, thank you so much for bringin that up

looks amazing ! definitely on my list to try !
Thumbs up... looks nice and clean with matching ingredients...
This is on my list Anders!!

Anders, I just finished one of these with Campari, because that's what I had. Brilliant drink.
Nice to know, i have a bottle of campari in the fridge so before i open the ramazotti i might as well try it with campari for now.
Just did that exact thing!

Amaro Ciociaro or Bittermen's Amère Nouvelle! (If you're near Boulder, CO get the Longtucky Amaro Arancia.)
Hi Anders!! Love you and your videos. Any interesting mocktail options in honor of Dry January? Keep killing it!
Thanks, Linda! You bring up a good point. I'll have to put something together for a post. I appreciate the comment!

Death & Co. shrewdly pointed out Amer China-China from Bigallet is close to the original Amer Picon recipe.
Thanks for this. I'll have to start adding orange bitters. Regarding the various possible substitutes for the unavailable Amer Picon, I find that I like Averna more than Montenegro because Montenegro seems to have a eucalyptus note that doesn't go as well with whiskey to my palate. (But it does go with gin.)
Absolutely love your videos. Is that glass a small goblet or a type of coupe, or does it have a different name? And what’s the oz? Thanks!
Picon is one of my favourite Amer. Really cheap, 1L = 9,90 euros (11,62 bucks)
As french, we love to drink with beer.
Yeah, so you'll be happy to know that there is an American company making Amer Picon currently, Golden Moon Distillery in beautiful Golden, Colorado. They also have some other interesting concoctions I have yet to find a use for, one of which is Ex Gratia. Worth checking into!

Had to try Picon at a Basque bar in Minden, NV, cuz that’s what they do there. It wz pretty ruff. Love your substitutions. And what a pour! 😆
Yeah that pour is for when you have no plans on moving around at all! 😂 I love your NV experience. Field trip!
@@AndersErickson JT Basque Bar in Gardnerville. Worth a visit, but beware the Picon Punch! 🤜👀

anders I / was devastated to hear of NEEN's death/ I can't imagine folklore without her!
I can't either. She was the best, and we're all so fortunate to have known her. I hope you're well, John.
I did a slight variation, using Amaro Abano in place of the Ramazotti, it worked very well. Try it out if you can!
I made this and it was great. My wife thought it was a little boozy, so I might mix in a little more Amaro or dry vermouth.
I don't know if you do requests, but my wife would like a cosmogroni, if that is a real cocktail. I've seen a few variations, but I'd like to see yours.
Haha I also build cocktails “backwards”! Nice shoutout :)

anders you can try cio ciarro instead of ramazotti, or tbh averna. both are more orange forward than ramazotti
I love it!
Ohhh, this looks fabulous!! :-)
Thank you! I highly recommend it. Cheers!
Amer picon is the best. Add that to a bland beer and you have an amazing bitter, citrussy, sweet beer.
Well, it took my a year to find this video - but maybe I'll still get my answer... I have a bottle of Picon-Bière (very popular in the Alsace region of France) which should be a variation of the "basic" Picon. I guess it would work as a good substitute in this drink?

I'll answer with what I know so far..
There's a few different bottles of Picon, you have Picon Bière, Picon Amer, Picon Orange and Picon Club.. I've only tasted Picon Amer and Picon Orange (I'm Belgian so all Picon are pretty easy to find around here).
The description and/or ingredients labelled on the bottles are pretty much the same to be honest, they all contain orange, gentian and quinquina and what changes, is how you should mix them with.
Picon Bière : "to drink straight or mixed with beer" (what a surprise.. x) )
Picon Orange : "less bitter than Picon Amer because of the addition of more orange flavouring"
Picon Club : "to drink mixed with white wine, can also be drunk with champagne or lemonade with ice"
Picon Amer : "to drink straight or mixer with beer OR wine, can also be drunk with sparkling wine or tonic"
If it can help you, Picon Amer is the only one at 21% ABV (42 US Proof), all the others are 18% ABV (36 US Proof), and is the less sweeter and obviously the most bitter.
I don't think it will make a big difference to be fair to use one or another, but it won't be the same as the one they used for the cocktail at that era as Anders stated it. The original Picon was 39% ABV (78 US Proof) and then it dropped to 25% ABV (50 US Proof) in the 1970s. I guess we'll never know the real taste of this cocktail ! =(

I’m curious if you have thoughts on good alternatives to vermouth for this and other recipes? Any wine doesn’t play well with me, but I love these cocktails.
Amaro Cia Ciaro is a very close approximation for Amer Picon, or the Torani Amer is pretty close as well.
Anders! Love me a Brooklyn.
This looks great and interesting, I have to try it this way, just gotta get me some Ramazotti.
My version will probably be up in a few weeks 😏
I'm looking forward to it! I love seeing other renditions of this one 🥃
I've always subbed in Bigallet China China in for Amer Picon, definitely worth a try if you haven't tried it in the Brooklyn. Cheers!
Looks like a winner...except I have no more room for liquor. 😩 I may have to clear off the top of the hutch in the dining room for more bottle space. Cheers Anders 🥃

Hey Anders . What do you do if the recipe goes a'rye?
Can we use Campari instead of the amaro or is it very different ?
Came across this video way late, but what do you think about using china-china in this cocktail instead of ramazotti and bitters? Heavier weight maybe but you’d definitely get a ton of orange.
Can I sub the ramazzotti/montenegro for Cynar? I haven't been able to find that many amaros where I live.
Awesome video! What do you think about using Gran Classico as the orange amaro?
I love Gan Classico! It's a bit sweeter up front than what I think of an Amer to be, but it works seamlessly into cocktails. Excellent call, James!
I believe we have the same Nick and Nora glasses but for some odd reason my wash lines keep coming up short. Am I not stirring long enough or maybe not well enough? I’m sure it’ll come with practice but I’d appreciate any feedback you can offer!
I was expecting this to be nice enough as you don't seem to make anything that isn't, but I wasn't expecting it to be this nice. I didn't think I had amaro, then I remembered my impulse purchase of Eda Rhyne Appalachian Fernet. Good times.
Would aperol be a substitute for Amer Picon ?
Can this be made with brandy? 🤔
Could you use Amaro CioCiaro in it?
This tastes better with 1/2 oz Ramazzotti vs 1/4 oz.
I watched the video and realized that I have everything to make this! Your bottled version is better. It's almost like you make them for a living. Also, you would have been horrified by my stirring skills.
Haha. I'm forgiving with stirring skills. It took me a little time to get comfortable with it too.
Do you actually use jiggers at the bar or free pour?
Is it possible to use compari instead of amaro? With the orange bitters?
It will taste NOTHING like a Brooklyn.
This is the only bartender who regularly has 0 dislikes on his videos.
Do you have any videos that talk about American cocktails, more popular or something like that?
Does it depend on regions, states?
How it works .. ?!
There are a lot of cocktails that are American, certainly the oldest recipes. 100-150 years ago, different regions within the U.S. developed their own cocktail culture, and that changes with every generation. New York, New Orleans, Chicago, and San Francisco are only some examples of that. Of course, cocktails soon made their way around the world, and now you see a blend of flavors creating wonderful drinks!
For Amaro I use 1/2 tbsp Nonino Amaro, 1/2 tbsp chocci Terinio vermout and 1tsp of Luxardo Abano Amaro... I am going to try a variation 1/4 oz of Bigalette China china also just got a bottle. I use 1/2 oz of Dolin...
I love it! I'd be very curious to try both renditions. Thanks for sharing!
Had bigalette China China for rammazzoti variation with anders specs fantastic best perfect Manhattan variation ever
I think we are all pretty guilty of building “backwards”. Forces you to screw up less. Ha!
That's a great way to look at it! Thanks, Vino. I feel much more confident with my technique now 😂
I add the whisky first best to commit
I go backwards half the time because.... I can!!!
Why not use Amer dit Picon as the bitter liquor? The color of Amer dit Picon is much lighter than that of most amari, so it seems nicer.
I always thought a Brooklyn involved an absinthe rinse, don’t know why.
It's always five o'clock!
Anyone know a good UK alternative to Fees? Cos I am not paying £20+ for a bottle
