Wow. Unlike most of the other videos about the OF on youtube, this man really "feels" the cocktail. He is not reading a script or anything, he just talks about his passion while he's fixing this drink.
The way it was presented made me subscribe, he's for real!
Damn fine video of the OF. By far my favorite drink
I WAS THINKING EXACTLY THE SAME BRO, FINALLY A REAL VIDEO
Totally agree.
yup, and in three minutes he managed to be more informative on each step than other videos thrice as long.
An artist with his paintbrush.
Rinsed the muddler with the whiskey; wasted no motion making the drink, with all the serenity and centred mind of a Japanese tea ceremony. Cheers/salut, good sir.
This video made me feel like I strolled into a random bar on a Tuesday at 1 pm in a foreign city, was the only person In there, and the bartender choose to form a real connection with a customer.
I judge how good a "make a drink video" is by how much I want to grab the drink that was made... I would have plucked this right off the screen if I could.
🤣😂
After lots of video I got the right one
No you didn't...................NEVER USE ORANGE BITTERS!
I just commented the same thing. I just will change up the Bourbon from bottle to bottle.
@@anonymoususer9215 that's your opinion I've seen it used a lot in other Old Fashion recipes.
@@robertsullivan4773 It's a fact. This SIMPLE cocktail is done wrong 95% of the time. There I nothing wrong with adding your own twist to it. Just don't call it an Old Fashioned because it's NOT. It has 4 basic ingredients. NO muddled fruit and NO cherry. PERIOD. It's not even up for debate. This is not an Old Fashioned. It is what they call a whiskey cocktail.
@@robertsullivan4773 Then it is not THE Old Fashioned. I don't give a rats azz how is they make it. I am concerned about how it was made at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, where the recipe was developed. I'm sorry that you don't like it. Perfect your craft. These are NOT MY OPINION, it has s FACT. I've been doing this for 30 years now. I've learned a thing or two kiddo. Stop being another arrogant prick bartender and do shit right. There is a reason why I am personally recognized there. Respect your elders and learn something. This is a stupid argument. Are you gonna make a vanilla cake and call it chocolate too? Moron.
When making an Old Fashioned, I recommend having Wives and Lovers playing in the background... Just for that magical Mad Men atmosphere. 😉
Thanks for not blabbering too much and just focus on making the drink...!!! 👍
This is the video that started it all for me.
This was not a simple cocktail mixing. This was a piece of art.
NO OUTRAGEOUS THEATRE.
NO JUGGLING WITH BOTTLES.
NO RIDICULOUS USE OF RIDICULOUSLY LARGE ICE CUBES.
JUST A VERY GOOD VIDEO. THANKS
Just an overdressed dandy using overdramatic language -"express the essential oils from the lemon..." with a ridiculously large wristwatch so he knows how much time he spends behind the bar. No, not ridiculous in the least!
@@dap777754 Expressing oils from lemon/orange is a very ordinary thing. He's dressed smart because he takes pride in his work.
The perfect Old Fashion's recipe 👌🏻
Love your traditional look and calm enjoyment of the craft! Woodford Reserve is what we use also, a beautifully crafted whiskey!
That's a man who loves his work. If i ever get to the U.S. I'm going to this bar so this man can make me a drink.
Beautiful.
I ground the sugar in a coffee grinder and it was so fine it dissolves easily
Use a sweeter if that’s your whole point, has to be some sugar crum undisolved, you already used the syrup
I could watch this video all day🥃
Authentic!!
I made this the last couple of nights and it's really, really nice. It's nice to get away from drinking bourbon with coke for a while. It's a really refreshing sweet drink.
This man got style.
Absolutely love the commentary, not just how to make it but also why this, why that. I want to listen to this Bartender explain more things.
I just love an old fashioned with lemon peel, it adds another dimension to the drink.
Fantastic. I was going to make this tomorrow but it isn't orange 🍊 season in Nepal..Was wondering if there could use lemon👍🏼
Good call on the Woodford
Yes great Bourbon just finished a bottle.
@@robertsullivan4773 ...in one sitting
Makers Mark is good too!
Definitely a drink that evolves over the time you drink it. Well said and the absolute truth about my fav drink.
FINALLY AN AMERICAN BARTENDER WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE A OLD FASHIONED.
The first and only video i needed to watch, awesome presentation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This! Wow... even my talentless ass just made an amazing Old Fashioned thanks to this video! The lemon expression was definitely new and just one of the many tips I learned in this video! Can't wait to visit this place next time I'm able to make it to NY and enjoy the master creation!
Ha ha ha! “Once you add ice it changes the drink forever and you can’t change it back”. What tripe is this? LMFAO. Lots of compliments for this video, not sure why.
By far the simplest and best old fashioned recipe.
From Peru Southameria thanks, thats the best way to do an oldfasioned I´ve seen in all youtube
Thank you for sharing your art.
This isn't just a how to...
-
This is poetry
I happen to love Woodford. Never had it in an old fashioned. Looks like im off to the store.
wtf why is this the only video you've made i already subbed!! T-T
I like the lil lemon twist you put on there. I’ll have to try it but it looks amazing... i recently went to a bar and they tried making my old fashioned with white processed sugar and i just couldn’t do it.
As bad as adding a maraschino cherry!.
@@StacyForest738 yeah totally agree, thats super bizarre, the bartenders think they’re making it fruity, but the flavors are not good at all.
Please make more videos..
Must say, that was well done! I'm drinking one as I type. Favorite drink!
It is a well done Whiskey Cocktail, but it is certainly not an old fashioned
Josh Taylor: can I ask what your definition of an old fashioned is? Can’t it be done with any spirit, sugar and bitters?
@@Rickflairshair Is that some sort of joke? You did, however, perfectly define a cocktail. A cocktail, is a drink with bitters, sugar, and spirit. THE Old Fashioned was developed at the Pendennis Club in 1882. Louisville, Kentucky.
Look man. To us real "Old World" bartenders, this is literally bar 101. You youngsters come in, thinking you know it all, and you guys have not even taken the time to learn your craft man.
Go to the library, pick up a book. "The Gentleman's Guide to Bartending", written in 1903 is a great start.
If this drink was made for me, I would pay for it, stiff the bartender, and not even touch the drink. Here he made a wonderful "Whiskey Cocktail". I will certainly give him that.
This is not a cocktail you add your own twist to. You leave it the fuck alone. Bartending is like baking a cake. Follow the recipe. Its not rocket science.
There is a reason why tonight I will sell about 100 $20 traditional Old Fashioneds at my bar. This is a cocktail that NO bartender should EVER get wrong. PERIOD.
Josh Taylor: first off, you don’t even know my age so stop assuming I’m a youngster and I am well aware of where it orginated. All I did was ask you a simple question and you went off into left field about your history lesson. Maybe you should create a video on how to make it your way and stop critizing someone else.
@@Rickflairshair No need to get sandy buddy. I could care less. I do my shit right. If you don't want to, ain't my problem. I make a damn good living doing things the right way
I want to go there, and have him make me one. Spectacular.
Thinking the same thing.
Subscribed on this. Thank you. If you ever get the chance and are in the South Bend area, Indiana Whiskey (not for sale outside of the state) makes a superior bourbon. As in: I formerly stopped drinking bourbon as it was too sweet and now have a fifth waiting for me to indulge in an Old Fashioned (this will be the recipe I use). Oh, and no, I am not a paid employee or sponsor of that product.
Exactly the way i like to make it. I recon the lemon peel is very important, if you have never tried it please do.
well, those ounces look a bit tiny compared to JaNee's receipt
I do it the same except that after I cooled the old fashioned with some ice I strain it into a prechilled glass with one very large ice cube and then I use the lemon and orange peel.
Agreed. I muddle into a shaker or larger rocks glass and do all the steps in the video except once its stirred (never shaken) and dissolved I strain into a rocks glass with 1 big cube. I don't chill either glass as I like the evolution of the drink as it gets colder while I drink.
Thanks for an excellent video I'm making mine wit Jefferson 's because it was on sale. I like an extra dash of orange bitters
Well done sir.
I use either tonic or soda to muddle down the sugar cube. My speciality old fashioned is to use a 1/2 oz honey ginger syrup and two ounces of rye.
1:48. I agree. Every sip I take of an Old Fashioned as a different taste.
HE REALLY IS A BARTENDER. AND HE IS CUTE TOO. VERY PROFESSIONAL
He made that look very Cool..
Nicely done!
The man the craft!
When you add water it changes a sprite for ever... & you can't ever change it back. Very cool thanks!
Absolutely Beautiful
This is almost exactly how I make mine. Only I prefer Peychaud bitters. And I add a Luxardo cherry.
Peychaud bitters are good, and I also add a Luxardo cherry. A good trick is to take a lighter to the orange peel. It gauaranteess the peel expresses more of its oils.
The way I was taught to make an old fashion was to muddle a slice of orange and a cherry, your simple syrup or sugar cubes. After that you strain the mixture into a different glass which then you add your bitters and bourbon of choice and one ice sphere. Topped with an orange peel twist.
I seen a person with a Cherry in there’s before
@@preezie7 I’ve seen an orange peel slice and cherry on a prism pick before
That's closer to a Wisconsin old fashioned
Every old fashioned video I watch is difrerent
This is a person who loves his craft. Cheers to you, sir.
Woodfort Reserve - this man knows his Whiskys
This is my chosen Oscars drink. Was that a brown sugar cube? Please let me know?
Yep brown it is 👍
More specifically, a Demerara sugar cube
I see alot of videos that claim a "classic old fashioned" however this is the only one I would deem "classic"
Great.
I'd love to have that guy make me one of those!
Lovely!
Yes, please!👍🏽
Absolutely lovely....I loved the sugar cube bit cos that step has somewhat died a bit or one could say substituted with syrups as the years have gone by, which by no means is bad as it give a rounded flavour as opposed to the original intention of the drink getting sweeter as you progress towards the bottom of the glass.Both are alryt...should come down to choice I suppose.
Idk if that was the intention. This drink came out before ice was widely available so sugar would’ve dissolved just fine in a warmer drink. Times have changed. Thicker syrups make a superior drink in terms of mouth feel and consistency. But to each their own. The most important thing is that you enjoy what you drink
That's just damn cool
I made this with Basil Hayden Rye. Yummy!
I fell asleep waiting for my drink. Thanks
This is a drink that deserves a good tip. Anybody can pop open a beer or pour a glass of jack and coke
guy clearly knows how to work it back and forth
Cheers
Very good version. I've been trying serval versions. Except for the lemon I'm going to use this one. Why no 🍋, I am make the cocktail for myself at night and keeping oranges around is hard enough. But everything else is perfect. Thanks.
If you make a 'pre-batch' of this cocktail you can pre-zest your oranges into the mixture and it will trap that aroma for later! Alternatively using orange bitters can give that beautiful citrusy touch!
Mmmmm!
I want to cry when I see bartenders saying these OLD FASHIONED recipes are THE OLD FASHIONED RECIPE. This is just a version, not the classic OLD FASHIONED.
Make this with jack Daniels Tennessee honey ... It's amazing... Love it with the Woodford reserve as well
Delicious choice, try adding chocolate bitters also for a more 'dessert style' expression (they go well with Woodford as well!)
I like the bartender
“Fallingwater” Maggie Rogers
OMFG
I'm pretty sure this song's "stay with me" by Sam Smith just an instrumental
Do you have a recipe for this as a mocktail?
So the cherries 🍒 it’s bonuses in some places.
I made this but with Peychaud bitters because that's what I always buy.. Really tasty drink, but I am now wondering if there is a taste difference between Peychaud and Angostura bitters. Guess I'll have to do a taste test to find out.
Is the Old Fashioned from the tv show Mad men kinda similar? He use rye whiskey instead of bourbon.
Thank you so much for not using the watered down flavourless piss that is Makers Mark like every other old fashioned maker on RUclips seems to do. My only criticism would be pouring the Woodford over the muddler (I can look past the tiny ice cubes and using soda water).
You truly need to watch again....and listen.
Dope! Been wanting a good old fashioned and not some hipster watered down bullshit
Is traditional way make old fashioned with both lemen and orange skin? Coz I usually use only orange skin
Anyone drinking one as they watch this?
Oh I wish...
I was at work, but did go home and make a glass.
I wish
Yup. A cinnamanhattan. Borboun, bitters, grand marnier, and a cherry with a cinnamon stick
One of my fav u made it in a classical way
That is not even close to the classic way
what Woodfords is that?
Thought about making me an old fashioned but nevemind I'll leave it to the pros to make it for me.😊
Or just become the pro Old Fashioned maker yourself! Then you can find your 'perfect' version and order more specifically when you're out and about!
I wish it were 7pm Monday now. (date night).
same smiths instrumental distracted me from learning how to make an old fashioned I just broke into song
How was the original Old Fashioned made?
Are those brown sugar cubes?
I use bulliet whiskey
Is there any particular type of Orange that is best? Or is a regular Navel Orange fine?
Might be hard to find depending on where you are, but Seville Oranges are our go to if we can get them!
Ron Swanson approves
necesito mas de vos u.u
No black cherry 🍒?
Ok when I turn the bitters upside down, with the little plastic thing on the bottle to get 2 to 4 shakes half the damn bottle tries to come out, what gives ?
Ill have the water. lol Serve water with backhand
No amarena cherry?
What is KD ice?
Much better with rye
