I'm a newbie in that cocktail theme and trying to do my first cocktails. The Clover Club is absolutely brilliant and one of my favorite so far. Thank you for a whole new world.
Gin being my favorite spirit, and my interest in cocktails having spiked higher than covid cases, I was excited to see this video in my feed. I've mostly been sipping Corpse Reviver no. 2's so I was glad to branch out. i tried the Bees Knees first and disaster struck as I spilled my shaker all over the floor. About a shot was spared and it was quite tasty. i just made a Gordon's Breakfast and it was fantastic. I had a little speedbump as my wife had turned all of our cucumbers into quick-pickles but seeing as the drink had significant acidity I decided to forge ahead and they worked perfectly. I used Hendrick's to accentuate the cucumber. The only thing I can complain about is not having enough, should have made a double. Clover Club is next and probably an Old Pepper from the whiskey video.
Steven Johnson I tried it for the first time at Anvil Bar & Refuge and it was an instant favorite! I also like to have it served up with a splash of champagne instead of soda water.
The Gordon's Breakfast is one of my favourite summer cocktails. I usually just opt for lime juice instead of chunks of lime, though, and I kick the worcestershire and hot sauce up a little bit.
Instead of chickpea (garbanzo) brine or egg white, you can also find (or make) something called gomme syrup. It is a simple syrup thickened with gum arabic that can also create a nice foam on top. Like the egg white, it also ads a silky texture to the drink whereas the bean juice only serves to improve the aesthetics.
Gomme syrup makes relatively low amounts of foam vs. egg white though, and unlike egg white and aquafaba it can only be used to substitute for simple syrup and only up to the amount in the original recipe, otherwise you mess up the flavor balance. A potentially better option if you want to avoid egg or aquafaba is a "foamer" like Fee's or "Ms Betters Bitters Miraculous Foamer". But if you do want gomme syrup local company Small Hands Foods makes a good one that is carried at K&L and Total Wine, or Liber & Co at Bitters and Bottles (who deliver).
I'm with you on gin: also my favorite cocktail spirit. Gimlet is my go-to party cocktail. Just so easy to mix, everyone gets impressed, and it tastes great (especially after one or two too many and people can't tell it's not overly complex). And the French 75 is my go-to celebratory cocktail. Great drink, somewhat underrated these days I find. Never tried the Gordon's Breakfast though. Might have to go get some hot sauce...
Brilliant! Thank you for these straightforward and classic gin cocktails. I have been adding simple cocktails to my at home bar for dinner parties and cocktail parties. These are all wonderful additions. Cheers!
My favorite mod to The Bees Knees is using white rum instead of honey. Or a slightly smoky blended scotch. Lemon and honey syrup is a base for lots of awesome.
Some interesting cocktails I was unaware of except the gin gimlet is basically my of my go to drinks for when I get home from work in the evenings. However as a beekeeper the Bee's Knee's is definitely going on my list of gin cocktails.
I’ve been looking at Gin cocktail recipes on RUclips this week and was surprised you didn’t have a big video. Low and behold you have answered my unasked question. Just in time for my company’s virtual happy hour tonight.
Love the recipes! Just found your channel and i'm loving the dedication to preparing cocktails. My favourite "easy" cocktail for gin is a fruity flavour with about 2/5 of gin 3/5 of mixers. Example of a about 10oz (3dcl) drink: - Aviation Gin - 4 oz (dry gins work best from my experience) - Schweppes BL flavor - 4 oz (any bitter lemon tonic or bubbly drink could work) - Fruc orange & lemon flavour - 2 oz (you can use any soft drink with fruity flavour, experiment your preference!) - Chop up 1-2 fresh ripe peaches into little cubes and add them to the mix - Add ice by preference and gentle stir Note that this does become a very fruity and refreshing drink with hints of gin.
I like how you didn’t just say “add syrup” and actually explained how to make it and how long it lasts. I never knew it was so simple and it’s one of the ingredients that puts me off
This compilation of easy-to-make gin cocktails is particularly welcome during these COVID-19 quarantine days. Would love to see additional episodes for whiskey and rum.
I had Bees Knees for the first time a couple of days ago in Brighton, MA. It was a random pick and so delicious! The first taste reminded me of my favorite, the Aviation. This Bees Knees was served with a hibiscus flower which I didn't realize was edible. I ordered 2 more Bees Knees and made sure to eat the hibiscus 😋😄
Glad to see someone else who makes a gimlet with fresh lime juice. None of the bartenders books or recipes I see on the internet use fresh lime juice. Try floating a *super thin* slice or two of cucumber on it for garnish.
I had just poured myself a gimlet before switching on this video. I made a stock sugar syrup from water, granulated sugar and a little acacia honey, to which I added the grated zest and juice of a lime. I brought this to the boil, simmered it for five minutes then strained it into a jug to let it cool. Once it was cool I placed the jug into the freezer for a couple of hours until it turned into an icy slush. I then poured the lime slush into a measure of Tanqueray 43% gin from the bottle I keep in the freezer. It is utterly sumptuous.
Please do more of these!!! My favorite kind of content, even when all the cocktail channels I follow are doing them. You should also include some drinks to use up that bottle of campari or vermouth you bought for a specific cocktail, and now need to use up before it goes bad. Same for random syrups, or a list of the simplest tiki drinks! I'm a lazy mixologist, okay?
Please make this a series!! I always want to make the cocktails but I dont even know where to look for essence of lavender butterfly wing bitters and the other crazy stuff they call for
On the French 75 (Soixante Quinze) -- The gun had been somewhat derided as being not really powerful and of short range. However, it's breechblock and recoil design and fixed ammo gave it a high rate of fire -- about 15 rounds per minute; also its carriage design made it easy to transport and deploy near the front lines... and it was produced in large numbers. And so the drink.
01:05 The way you walk when you pick up the sauce pan for the simple syrup and walk towards the stove looks like you've given up on life. In a good way. And just for about 30 minutes.
The gimlet video from the Educated Barfly suggested there might be a reason to use lime cordial, though he suggested making your own for quality's sake. Lime cordial can be made from whole limes, rather than just the juice, so if you just use juice you might be missing flavor and some bitterness from the peels.
Yep, that's definitely another way to make the drink in a more traditional way, I'd argue the juice isn't worth the squeeze, and in the spirit of making simple cocktails I went with the modern approach. Sorry for all the puns.
Five solid gin sours. Great video. I prefer the French 75 prepared more like a Tom Collins, over cracked ice in a Collins glass rather than in a flute.
..my favourite is pre-prohibition era drink called the Gin Buck which is made with Ransom's Old Tom Gin (which has a a lovely blend of botanicals and has a slight amber colour), Cock & Bull ginger beer made with cane sugar (no "pedestrian" brand ginger ale made with HFCS) and lemon juice served in a Collins glass and garnished with a slice of lemon on the rim. This is the perfect summer quencher.
1) Get an old fashioned glass. 2) Place a bottle of dry vermouth next to it. 3) Fill the glass with large clear ice cubes. 4) Add your favorite gin to near the rim. 5) Garnish with lemon rind and bar straw. 6) Put the vermouth away. 7) Serve 8) Repeat.
Here in Russia, we have similar cocktail to French 75 and it's called Northern Lights. It's vodka plus sparkling vine and other ingredients for your taste, it is very popular among students, lol.
My favorite is Zeiver gin. The stuff is new and high end, but smooth and full of aroma. It's the only one I know that uses alovera. Honestly I like drinking gin straight, but I'm curious about the clover club; sounds pretty slick.
Yeah, it's pretty new. I think it's only available at theginstall.co.uk I got to sample it and absolutely loved it. Hopefully it will be more widely available soon. It's one to keep an eye out for. Thanks for the good content! I learn a lot.
i want to add when making the clover club...if you're not as experienced please pour the egg white in a separate container then add...you dont want to accidently bust yoke in your almost completed cocktail and waste it
I second this. With three bottles of real Cuban Havana Club (3 year, Especial and 7 year) chilling in my liquor cabinet I really want some simple additions to my usual assortmemt of daiquiris, mojitos and Cuba Libres.
I'm in quarantine drinking boilermakers. Simple easy drink but maybe you can do a video pairing different beers with different whiskey? Any pairings you think would be good?
I'd love to see a similar video with Whisk(e)y! Maybe even some specific cocktails for the different whiskey styles (sherry-finished, peated, Bourbon, etc.)
Hey, danke für das tolle Video. Super zu sehen, wie das funktioniert. :) Ich bin auch in die Gin-Welt eingetaucht. Mag den London Dry Gin am aller liebsten. :) Hab mir jetzt auch das "Gin Buch" von Clavin Williams geholt. Da sind super viele Rezepte für Longdrinks und Cocktails mit Gin drin.
Fun fact: The French 75 is named after the 75mm Mle. 1897 field gun, the first modern cannon with an hydraulic recoil system, supposedly because it's a rapid fire drink like the gun, as in you can down many of them.
Fantastic video. While I do love your really fancy cocktails (made your song of ice and fire a couple times) I find myself making these quite rarely since I need to spend so much on ingredients every time. This is really good for the lockdown period!
I just tried making the gin gimlet with some mystery citrus (probably lemon-lime hybrid) from my backyard and some gin from the Original Spirit Co., a local distillery near Melbourne. It was really good. Great recipe.
when i mixed gordons (bombay in my case) breakfast, i have thoughts like im making some frankenstein monster, and when i tasted it... man, who could've thought of this? really amazing drink
So a tip for extending the life of your Simple Syrup that I learned from the internets is to put a small amount of vodka in it, usually I only do small batches (Maybe a quarter or half a cup at a time) of it so I just do like a quarter teaspoon or twos worth and it extends the life for another month or two. There's not enough vodka to affect the flavor of cocktails in my experience and it keeps you from having to make more.
Bill Markelz it will also last longer if you do 2 parts sugar to 1 part water, and then of course dial back the syrup amounts to compensate for the higher sugar content
I agree with bandholm let's do em all. I m interested to see how you utilize round the house kitchen elements to characterize these other liquors. Thank you sir
It seems I've been mixing up a variation on the gimlet for years, and I didn't even know it. I make my own elderflower cordial and mix it with the juice of a lime and add two shots of plymouth with some crushed ice.

Clapping a basil leaf and tossing it on top of a Bee's Knees is a phenomenal addition.
I always liked adding a dash or two of lavender bitters. Basil sounds great too!
This was the easiest
Did you really say "call me Gin-ifer Aniston, because after this we're going to be friends?" LOL
Yeah, I thought I heard that also! LOL
Perfect!
Loved that line

Love you mentioned the "Southside"...one of my favorite drinks. When at a bar I have to ask for a "Gin Mojito" bc nobody knows Southside lol

@@stuNzeeDkcuS YES!!! Anvil is one of the best bars out there!

The Gordon's Breakfast is one of my favourite summer cocktails. I usually just opt for lime juice instead of chunks of lime, though, and I kick the worcestershire and hot sauce up a little bit.
My favorite part in all these is just watching his facial expressions when he drinks it at the end lol

But if you do want gomme syrup local company Small Hands Foods makes a good one that is carried at K&L and Total Wine, or Liber & Co at Bitters and Bottles (who deliver).
What is the difference between a garbanzo and a chickpea? I wouldn't let a garbanzo in my mouth. Ooookay, I'll show myself out. 🚪
I'm with you on gin: also my favorite cocktail spirit. Gimlet is my go-to party cocktail. Just so easy to mix, everyone gets impressed, and it tastes great (especially after one or two too many and people can't tell it's not overly complex).

Never tried the Gordon's Breakfast though. Might have to go get some hot sauce...
A video like this for every spirit would be amazing, thanks Nick.
As cool as that would be... it wouldn't matter. You should always pick gin ;)
SGS_Gurk Goat cannot argue 🙂
I've used mead to replace the honey in the bee's knees. Works quite well! My favorite is with a homebrewed hibiscus-mead.
Kjell-Anton Skare how much mead?
Oooo I need to find a recipe for home brewed hibiscus mead also now
I hope the next one is whiskey I would love to see one this with that spirit
Brilliant! Thank you for these straightforward and classic gin cocktails. I have been adding simple cocktails to my at home bar for dinner parties and cocktail parties. These are all wonderful additions. Cheers!

Glad I followed the links from How To Drink! I appreciate the accessibility of the four regular ice cubes vs large blocks that need cracked or cut.
man your mixes are always so mouthwatering
Love you deliver your content. Thank you. I’m a novice bartender and over learned a lot!

All of the above, but especially a rum one. I have a white rum and a nice aged rum that I'd like to put to good use.
01:05 The way you walk when you pick up the sauce pan for the simple syrup and walk towards the stove looks like you've given up on life. In a good way. And just for about 30 minutes.
Jeez, it's like two seconds, what did you want a quickstep, waltz or maybe a limbo?
Can you try with PISCO( PERUVIAN BRANDY) ?? pls ‼‼
I’ve always made a bee’s knees with gin, honey, grapefruit juice, and pineapple juice. Worth a try.
Classic cocktails are such a treat when done well.
Gin and Jazz, You Sir are a real gentleman.
Cheers to that...
I like how you you use the shake time to tell a little story; very nice
Would love to see a Mezcal feature! Such an underrated spirit!

Too many French 75s will make you just like an artillery casualty: legless.
Awesome episode! Loved the Jennifer Ginesson joke xD - Yes please, do one episode with simple Whiskey cocktails!

Clever use of "Take Five". Respect!
A local speakeasy jazz club does a Bees Knees with Pimms and lavender bitters. It's so great we make it at home now that we can't go to the club.
1) Get an old fashioned glass.
2) Place a bottle of dry vermouth next to it.
3) Fill the glass with large clear ice cubes.
4) Add your favorite gin to near the rim.
5) Garnish with lemon rind and bar straw.
6) Put the vermouth away.
7) Serve
8) Repeat.
I don't drink much, but I still think that your videos have something educational.
Here in Russia, we have similar cocktail to French 75 and it's called Northern Lights. It's vodka plus sparkling vine and other ingredients for your taste, it is very popular among students, lol.
Cheers! May I suggest a hot twist on a classic? Serrano Smash... same as a Basil Smash, add serrano when shaking. Boom
I like the way you managed to give the identical look when you were tasting each of them
Love this. Well-produced and informative. More, please.
My favorite is Zeiver gin. The stuff is new and high end, but smooth and full of aroma. It's the only one I know that uses alovera. Honestly I like drinking gin straight, but I'm curious about the clover club; sounds pretty slick.
N F thanks for your recommendation. Never heard of it but I will have to seek it out.
Yeah, it's pretty new. I think it's only available at theginstall.co.uk
I got to sample it and absolutely loved it. Hopefully it will be more widely available soon. It's one to keep an eye out for. Thanks for the good content! I learn a lot.
Love Gimlets! I use Hendricks and garnish with a slice of cucumber. Very tasty!
Everyone gave me Gin for my birthday since they know I love it, glad to know I'll have plenty to work with!
This is awesome and definitely will try 1 or 2 of these
Thank you so much for the quick reply
Made your Clover Club tonight. Great recipe! Thank you.
I finally found my fellow Ginners! 🤗❤
i want to add when making the clover club...if you're not as experienced please pour the egg white in a separate container then add...you dont want to accidently bust yoke in your almost completed cocktail and waste it
So the Gordon’s Breakfast is really just iced gin salsa huh
That do be sounding delicious tho
I like Micheladas, so I know I’d most likely love it.
I'd love to see one with mezcal. I really only use mine for Oaxaca Old Fashioneds.
Seeing one done for rum would be pretty neat!
I second this. With three bottles of real Cuban Havana Club (3 year, Especial and 7 year) chilling in my liquor cabinet I really want some simple additions to my usual assortmemt of daiquiris, mojitos and Cuba Libres.
Whiskey, bourbon, rum, vodka. Yes. I love these simple takes.
I'm in quarantine drinking boilermakers. Simple easy drink but maybe you can do a video pairing different beers with different whiskey? Any pairings you think would be good?
I have a small batch of simple syrup that i made in august or so last year. Still holds up. Used it a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with it still
What about cocktails with peated whiskys. from light peated to heavy peated.
I'd love to see a similar video with Whisk(e)y! Maybe even some specific cocktails for the different whiskey styles (sherry-finished, peated, Bourbon, etc.)
Hey, danke für das tolle Video. Super zu sehen, wie das funktioniert. :) Ich bin auch in die Gin-Welt eingetaucht. Mag den London Dry Gin am aller liebsten. :) Hab mir jetzt auch das "Gin Buch" von Clavin Williams geholt. Da sind super viele Rezepte für Longdrinks und Cocktails mit Gin drin.
Just muddled some fresh strawberries in the Gimlet, amazing flavor!
could you share more on why we need to sit the sugar and honey water for a month? Thanks.
Fun fact:
The French 75 is named after the 75mm Mle. 1897 field gun, the first modern cannon with an hydraulic recoil system, supposedly because it's a rapid fire drink like the gun, as in you can down many of them.
That ginniger anniston was probably the best pun I’ve heard all year
Great vid Nick, I'd love to see what you do with brandy. My fave's a French Connection, preferably with an absinthe mist over the top.
Fantastic video. While I do love your really fancy cocktails (made your song of ice and fire a couple times) I find myself making these quite rarely since I need to spend so much on ingredients every time. This is really good for the lockdown period!
I just tried making the gin gimlet with some mystery citrus (probably lemon-lime hybrid) from my backyard and some gin from the Original Spirit Co., a local distillery near Melbourne. It was really good. Great recipe.
I am more impressed you were able to cut a lemon peel without cutting off your finger -after 4 cocktails.
when i mixed gordons (bombay in my case) breakfast, i have thoughts like im making some frankenstein monster, and when i tasted it... man, who could've thought of this? really amazing drink
my go-to gin drink is definitely a lime gin fizz. always refreshing and great tasting
Fantastic thank you! Five Easiest VODKA Cocktails next please sir! Right.... where’s that Bee’s Knees I just made?
