Wow! The balance of flavors and finesse of your technique totally raises the bar for even the simplest of cocktails. I just can't get enough! Keep them coming please. 👍❤️
I saw the Tipperary and that brought me back to pre-covid Paris, where I got introduced to the Tipperary as a Manhattan cousin at the Little Red Door. I heavily recommend both the bar, once it's okay to go and the drink just the same. Thanks for bringing back those good memories, Cara! Cheers!

Really enjoying these vids, they are fun, breezy and informative . I have a vintage bar in my flat and make a range of 'the classics' but am always after new ideas. I love irish whiskey and Jameson is pretty much my go to, but I had a bottle of 'Slane' at Christmas which I can also highly recommend . I toured the Middleton distillery in Ireland some years ago, an absolute must for Irish Whiskey fans if you can get there. And much as I love a cocktail, my standard tipple is a good sized rock of ice, a small wedge of lime, squeeze a few drops over the ice, drop the wedge into the glass, add a double shot of Jameson. Perfect. Thanks again, these vids are a delight in such trying times.
Great video!!! 3 drinks and the shot at the end, Pretty cool, with winter just around the corner here in East Tennessee, USA, gonna try me the Irish Coffee, plus the ending shot, I think that's the first time I saw you do a shot, Awesome!!!
Love the slight flair of holding the bottle cap in between the fingers as you pour! As a home "bartender", I like to take pictures of pouring and such, so I may definitely employ your technique. I will give credit where credit is due Don't worry!
Absolutely loving this channel. Been watching a couple months and I'm still finding videos I havent seen such as this one! I must say though, I got a good laugh out of the "slanch" at the end! We pronounce it more like sloncha! Sorry to be critical, Slainté!
I love the Tipperary! I usually make it with specs similar to a Little Italy (sourced from Imbibe): 2 oz Irish Whiskey 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse Lemon Twist
I know this is off-topic so-to-speak, but did anyone else notice Cara's blue stone necklace matches her eye colour almost perfectly? Also, love this channel for it's almost artisan-level knowledge of everything alcohol. Thank you for educational as well as entertaining content!
Thanks for making the kick. When I made it I had a batch of lemon oleo saccharum on hand for another drink I was doing. So I substituted that for both the lemon juice and syrup. Added about 15 ml of Amaretto for the almond element. Came out pretty good..
Such a cool video. And the Jameson - Pickle juice shots at the end - I do not know why, but now I want the same and can't stop thinking about it. :@) Cheers!
Wow! You rock! This channel is awsome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for the inspirations! The space in ones home reserved as ‚bar‘ seems to be never enough, I guess... Nicely produced videos! Btw: Love your accent :)
Love that Irish coffee recipe. Was always a massive production when my Mam made them...heating the glasses. The stovetop Italian espresso...the brown sugar cubes dissolving in the whiskey. A wonderful post dinner ritual.
I make Irish Coffee with 1 tbsk of Muscavado sugar dissolved in the hot coffee instead of sugar syrup and very whipped cream on top rather than pouring it over. We like em a bit messy in the top and with the blobs on cream melting form the foam.
As I said on the 'gram, definitely gonna try the Cameron's Kick, and possibly the other two as well, as soon as I get hold of a bottle of Irish whiskey...
Another wonderful video! This is fast becoming a favorite channel. Well done, and I'm going to have to try a pickleback soon. (PS I spot Glendronach 12 behind the bar, such a lovely whisky :) )
I was surprised to see the pickleback, but pleased as well. Many people I know get just the pickles from the jar, and wonder why I drink the juice as well (sodium concerns though). But I’ve never tried it with whisky, so now I know 🙂
@@MrIceman1953 haha everything is worth arguing over Irish coffee! It does seem to have been invented in Ireland though, but the Buena Vista poached the inventor and he tended bar for them for years. We do have a longer episode on it with some history coming up 😊
@@BehindtheBar Stanton Delaplane worked at a newspaper in the SF Bay Area and he brought it over to the Buena Vista from Ireland. But since I've lived in the Bay Area all my life I'm going to stick to my fable as long as no one I'm drinking with knows the truth. ;)
HUGE fan of orgeat (i made my own this summer!) and regularly sub out simple in classics. Love irish whiskeys, definitely more (financially) approachable
Hi, Im thinking about ordering some orgeat from monin online, as its not available in any shops near me. Since its not something that will be used too ofren, I wanted to know if it expires after opening and if it needs to be refrigerated?
I just went in halfsies with a friend on a bottle of chartreuse (we both had a list of cocktails we wanted to make with it but couldn't justify the cost of a full bottle!), so I will definitely be making the Tipperary as soon as I add Irish whiskey to my bar!
@@BehindtheBar That's what we thought, too! Especially since Chartreuse is so spendy... it's the most expensive thing in my home bar! I don't know if I'm going to ration it slowly to make it last, or if I'm going to make sure I use it all up since life is short ;)
@@SophiaRavenna I’m usually all for hedonism haha but Chartreuse is such a strong flavour I do usually use it quite sparingly in drinks, so it should last you a little while 😊
I tried it once. I wasn't a fan but everyone is different, it sure is popular though. Find a whiskey bar and buy one neat, try it. The price you pay for the ounce-ish pour is still cheaper than buying a bottle blind.
Doesn’t the Tipperary cocktail call for equal parts of the 3 ingredients? Or is the original spec too sweet? I never had one so I’m not sure which version is better. Which one would you recommend to a Chartreuse lover? I always thought red vermouth wouldn’t go well with green Chartreuse, but I might be completely wrong :)
It does! We have a longer edit coming up where I explain all that but yeah, I basically just find it a bit clunky and sweet so pull it back to being more like a Manhattan in proportions 😊
I find the secret to good Irish coffee is the coffee. There's an Irish-style pub in my down that has a nice selection of food and great beer and decent cocktails, but their Irish coffee is "meh" because they use a mediocre coffee. Whereas a craft cocktail bar I really like will make the coffee fresh in a French press using a locally artisan-roasted beans, and it's fantastic.
I know this vid is about Irish whiskey, but for the Cameron’s Kick is there an Aussie whisky that could be used in place of the Irish? Would Monkey Shoulder work as an alternative to the Scotch?
Not in particular but I did work in a bar where we made specialised pickle backs with homemade pickles to suit certain spirits e.g. a brighter one with lemons and oranges for gin, a slightly sweeter one with thyme for tequila etc etc
So I'm watching the video and nearly gag during the Pickleback shot portion at the end. And I'm sitting and thinking to myself, "Poor Cara. First she completely lost her arm strength during the lockdown, then she completely lost her mind." Who in their right minds that isn't pregnant would actually think of shooting whisky and pickle juice? So of course I had to try it out of sheer dumb morbid masochistic curiosity... and... um.... it was actually quite good. :O To be fair, though, I make my own homemade real fermented pickles so the pickle juice I used is top notch quality to begin with.
Can’t beat Irish whiskey, I was recently drinking some leftover (I know right, leftover whiskey? 😅) jamesons caskmates to celebrate my graduation from my media course ☺️ (I’m from Northern Ireland myself ☺️)
I have, though I've never seen it in Ireland, I had it on a business trip to Maine. Its surprisingly good the pickle juice really actually follows a shot of Jameson quite well clears palate and is quite refreshing despite the fact I would never really drink pickle juice usually and I usually never shoot whiskey (usually sipped on a small amount of ice personally). Overall was much better than I was expecting, was expecting it to be one of those horrible "prank" or "college" style vomit inducers tbh :P.
I just have to ask the universe of single men out there, how in the heck is Cara still single? And if men are not her thing... ditto the question for the ladies. Really, what more could you look for in a mate than one so well versed in all the the really important things in life?
The best way to serve a Pickleback: 30ml Irish Whiskey, 30ml of Pickle Juice. Drink the shot, pour pickle juice in sink. And so you know.
Wow! The balance of flavors and finesse of your technique totally raises the bar for even the simplest of cocktails. I just can't get enough! Keep them coming please. 👍❤️
Thanks Bill!
Loving the tatts girl! Perhaps sleeves one day! I always learn so much from you! Cheers to the Best! 💕🍀 Teach on!
When are we getting cara breaking down her tattoos for GQ?
agreed! is the upper right arm blurred out?

I’ve been obsessed with Irish Coffee lately. (Tullamore D.E.W., too). The cream is the most rewarding part. 😋
Great video!!! 3 drinks and the shot at the end, Pretty cool, with winter just around the corner here in East Tennessee, USA, gonna try me the Irish Coffee, plus the ending shot, I think that's the first time I saw you do a shot, Awesome!!!
I had my first pickleback at a local bar with Southern Comfort. Ordered it because the name sounded funny and instantly loved it
You knock back shots better than I can.
Plenty of practice pal 😉

Thanks for the video! Just made irish coffee, turned out great.

Hahaha not at all!
The Irish may not do cocktails but we sure treat the coffee seriously here!
I love the Tipperary! I usually make it with specs similar to a Little Italy (sourced from Imbibe):
2 oz Irish Whiskey
3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Green Chartreuse
Lemon Twist
this remind me of some cold winter mornings I always drink a cup of hot coffee with some blacklabel before dinner. A good way to warm the body.
I just made the Irish Coffee and holy sweet Jesus was it good! Keep up the good work Miss Behind the Bar.

I'm blown away that Australia allows 15 yr old bartenders....

Loved the pickle shot hahaha.
These are really good. If I were a television producer I would be thinking about how you could be given a regular feature on drinks.
Haha hopefully someone will soon 😜
Ah the Pickleback! I'm going to have one of those!
Do it!

I tried it once. I wasn't a fan but everyone is different, it sure is popular though. Find a whiskey bar and buy one neat, try it. The price you pay for the ounce-ish pour is still cheaper than buying a bottle blind.
I like it, good example of a Single Pot Still and has an interesting history!
Beautiful
Was your choice of Tullamore Dew influenced by the Buena Vista Cafe's preference for that brand in their Irish Coffees?

Fair, same with all simple cocktails - all the ingredients have to be good!
Hand whisk and a bowl would probably be less work for the cream, but I like the tip to use the tools on hand.
Anything with Redbreast has got to go down a treat!
Looking forward to trying Redbreast. Always been more of a scotch and bourbon guy; looking to expand my horizons👍
Thanks to Paranoia Rodeo...that name🤣🤣🤣 I want to buy him a drink and hear stories
Think I’ll try the pickle back with bourbon
Irish whisky is the go.Ta Slainte
I know this vid is about Irish whiskey, but for the Cameron’s Kick is there an Aussie whisky that could be used in place of the Irish? Would Monkey Shoulder work as an alternative to the Scotch?
Starward Two Fold could be a good shout!
@@BehindtheBar oh cool, I just bought some of that!
I just tried, OMG, delicious, like drinking slightly boozy honey! Might have to call this version the Cam's Kick
Lol, i just realised, Monkey Shoulder is a scotch. Is there an Aussie alternative to this?
She shot that whiskey like it was NOTHING! 😂 So gangster
Despite the video on Irish Whiskey cocktails, I believe a happy St. Andrews Day is in order. Are there any Scotch cocktail shows coming up?
Not quite yet but there will be I promise 🏴!

Suppressing ending. I really didn’t expect that

Is gin/vodka followed by olive brine a thing?

Do it!
@@BehindtheBar I did it. For science!
I know it's probably entirely psychological... But it tastes infinitely better with Irish whisky
