This dude is not only showing us how to do various cocktails but at the same time explaining their names, stories, taste, look, occasion. I am very surprised in a good way by his passion. Well done.
Never met people who are more passionate about alcohol than bartenders. Like, not even brewers are this passionate and knowledgeable, at least not in my experience.
As a bartender, I really hate it when my clients know nothing about cocktails and spirits, and always complain about the amount of ice that I put in them. "If I want a drink that's completely diluted with ice, I'll just go to McDonald's, and it won't be as pricey as your bar!". Psh.
@@eldrichery853 And the funny part is, most drinks with ice (typically spirit forward, big ice drinks) are not really too diluted, just a little less potent.
VIDEO REQUEST: Please bring this guy back to teach us how to build the essential home-bar. Essential equipment and ingredients to make the largest amount of popular cocktails for guests.
Hey Jeff, I know you are most likely not reading comments on this old video anymore, but I just wanted to say that this video inspired me to learn more about drinks and cocktails, and now I got a job as a bartender! I still am just learning, but boy it's tremendously fun. Weirdly enough, the menu on me restaurant has like two or three of the drinks shown here. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love how he was just explaining ice for thirty seconds but I wasn’t even paying attention because I was so amazed by the fact that he was just holding two ice cubes the whole time with no problem
Unfortunately that isn't how a Bramble is actually made. The creater in London has taught the drink to people who want to know the real recipe. First you don't muddle the berries they are a decoration. It is built in the glass not shaken at all. And it is lemon juice and simple syrup it was a cube of sugar to muddle with lemon in the glass but you can use sugar syrup. Then gin is poured in stirred with crushed ice then the ice is topped off like a fix then it has creme de mure' poured on top to drip down to form the look of Bramble stems that hold the blackberries bench the name and garnish is lemon wedge down the side and blackberries on top. It's a English Cocktail and please make correctly. People who know will send that thing back. Because it doesn't taste as good. And it's a experience and subtle changes as you drink it.
@@Hal-Blue It's almost as if classic recipes that are decades old have plenty interpretations and not one single holy way to make it. Ain't that true mr. holier than thou?
Option 2 for someone who can hold ice forever with there bare hands: Rowers (Cause their hands are so calloused they don't feel anything there anymore)
Bar back - food runner - and new bartender here and I have to say - this video is amazing! So much great info and I hope it inspires people, particularly in the USA to begin to appreciate these spirits and cocktails for the pieces of art that they are and have been for longer than we can keep record of. Wish I had seen this sooner.
Thanks to insomnia (and stress addiction?) I now know how to pair every cheese, chop every vegetable, slice every fruit, shell every shellfish and mix most cocktails!
Ive bartended many years and love every one of these drinks. I learned a few and was glad to see so many oldies but goodies getting love like hotel nacional and pink lady. This whole video was a rich, in depth experience while still being cleverly concise. Bravo, friends!
Hey, for the caipirinha, the traditional way is to use white sugar. It gives a crunchy and sweet addition to just syrup! It's true that we don't shake it much, or sometimes not at all, but the sugar is important. For one whole persian lime, you use 2 tablespoons of sugar, one for shaking and one for mixing in the glass after you pour it all. Of course, cachaça is added (I use two ounces and a splash).the sugar doesn't dissolve completely, that's why some people even use a coarser type of sugar to bring the crunch to the next level!
@@ObliviousDrax same here. I mean, I had some champagne on a plane before and it was pretty good. Cocktails look better tho. Also one question I've had is when he pours the drinks into the glass used by, say, the martini, how do u drink without spilling lmao its so full
I really miss him. I've been to bartending after bartending after bartending channel and they all fall short compared to this in my view. He had a channel which apparently didn't take off. Kinda sad.
This man gives me vibes like he’s an immortal from the 1920’s who’s still trying to adjust to modern life when he’s not mixing drinks like we’re still in prohibition
I just got my home bar and I have always wanted to learn to make different cocktails. This is very helpful! I will for sure be watching this video again and again as I practice my Go To drinks. Whiskey gal over here!
@@shadowcween7890 Losing your job doesn't mean you lose your ability to make a good drink. And I am not trying to slam all bartenders, just warning people with a family or personal history of alcoholism that this is a more likely outcome for us than a hot date, and not worth the hot date. 👍
@@hotpocketoverlord7800 Not good. Absinthe has an extremely potent, almost anise like flavor. Wormwood based things in general taste pretty bad, such as Malort, which I can only describe as tasting like sadness and regret.
Great video!!! For Pisco Sour the best recipe (for me) is this: - 3 oz. pisco - 1 oz. syrup (which for the Peruvian version is 2 parts of sugar and 1 part of water) - 1 oz. limón juice (the mix between a lime and a lemon) - 1 oz. egg white (1 egg white)
I got to about 12 minutes into the video, googled mint julep or something, ended up in a 4 hour long wikiepdia hole, learning about everything from catholic ecclesiastical disputes over transubstantiation, to mad cow disease.
Sometimes when I was really bored I would go on google maps and find random towns, and then I’d look up those towns on Wikipedia to see if I’d ever heard of anyone from that town.

I don’t really drink much or at all, but I just love watching people make drinks because there’s so much craft and artistry that goes into making these cocktails. Very enjoyable and interesting.
“Corpse Reviver #2” is the most informational name I think any of these cocktails have. Not only is it enough to wake the dead, but it’s not even their first attempt at it.
We have a Vesper martini on the menu at the restaurant I work at and your explanation of the ingredients was great but also the story behind it makes it easier even to describe to myself when speaking to guests. Thank you!!
Hey there! Even though “nowadays” people are using shakers for the Caipirinha, it is traditionally mixed with a bar spoon (after muddling and adding the fermented and distilled alcohol). Great work! Everything looked amazing good :)
The brother who’s like “you guys wanna see something cool?” and then shows you a video game hack/cheat code to make you and your best friend go “WHOOAAAAAA”
watching this feels like you're at the bar with no one talking and they're just chilling and making drinks and you're talking to them and then there's ambient music playing in the background. i love this my stressreducer
Well done! Watched this several times over the last 2 years, I think it debuted just before the shutdowns. I picked up a few chops here.. The content combined with the bartender's terrific mix of humor,certitude, swagger, and chin dimple, conspire to produce a great watch. Where is Jeff working now? Thanks Epicurious.
@@Neptuneend Yes, it's someone who invents drinks as a hobby. They don't make money doing that (you can't copyright a drink) unless they also own a bar to sell those drinks.
as someone who just started working as a bartender with no experience, I'm happy this video exists! so far I've been just making it up on the go or searching the recipe online and it worked but it's nice to be able to actually see how to do it with style.
What Jeff likes: Lemon Twist Big Ice James Bond Dark n' Stormy Grenadine Absinthe Fancy Cherries 20th Century Boulevardier Bee's Knees What Jeff doesn't like: Last Words Olive Brine (22:20) Moscow Mule Mugs Any Garnish That's Not a Lemon Twist (The game is to guess which one are drinks)
When out at a bar, I keep ordering the same three cocktails which are the basicest of basic so this gave me plenty of ideas what to try out! Love that.
I am purely non-alcoholic and have every intention of staying that way. But I can't lie, this video is VERY enjoyable to watch over and over! The cinematography and angles of the drinks are very pleasing to the eye, and the crisp sounds of ice clinking and drinks shaken and stirred are like butter to the ears.
@@mr.noseybonk8716 Why judge people on their life choices? Life can be perfectly fulfilling without alcohol. That person is living their life to the fullest and you are in no position to call their way of life dull and boring.
MrHoliday yes, this is why it’s 100% worth it to save your “getting totally blasted” nights for drinking at home, and keep your “casually drinking a couple craft cocktails” nights at the bar. If you’re going for a great tasting cocktail it’s worth your money to head to an upscale bar or lounge, but if you just want to get very drunk you’ll save money by doing it at home :)
The measurements are all there, its not measured to the glass its measured to the recipe. The ice is to dilute the drink the desired amount to created a more palatable flavor. If you want a cocktail without ice or not diluted with ice at all, just let the bartender know. But don't expect extra alcohol. It will taste stronger if thats what you want.
@@joshr8573 But u can just double all the measurements and take half of the ice? what's so difficult to do this u dont need to be a math god for this... world is so greedy
@@JohnTronMusic double the ingredients and half the ice will give you a much worse flavour and a worse drink overall. It has to do with quality, not with greed
They should do this again except he finishes each drink and just gets progressively more drunk throughout the video. Unfortunately it would probably only be a 10 minute video
Meh. I just like mixing things. And I’m a good drunk because when I’m having a drink, when I feel good I stay that way and push on the brakes, yo know.
Same! I’m in nyc too & as soon as the coast is clear I’m running there. I know they have drinks to go rn, but I prefer to sit down and drink with my friends in a bar or restaurant not our living room 😂
He’s what I call a REAL bartender. Not just some guy or girl who works at tgi Friday’s and calls themselves a bartender. I’ve had to show so many bartenders my phone when asking for a drink. It’s pathetic.
@@CrustyUgg lmfao if they work at a bar that means they're a bartender. There are different levels of bartenders for different places but that doesn't mean you should discredit them for working at a place like tgi

When my name Jeff was a thing my dad would go out of his way to meet new people so when he introduced himself he could say ma name Jeff. He loved it.
Kenneth So as Jeff he is blind but can definitely hear us?
No i am
This is literally: Oh, so you're a bartender? Do every cocktail.
Every cocktail bartender worth his salt should know these drinks and more..after you learn first 20-30 recipes it all becomes easy

I don’t really drink much or at all, but I just love watching people make drinks because there’s so much craft and artistry that goes into making these cocktails. Very enjoyable and interesting.
I don't drink at all but this is so entertaining 😂
“Corpse Reviver #2” is the most informational name I think any of these cocktails have. Not only is it enough to wake the dead, but it’s not even their first attempt at it.
It was made to wake up the dudes who died from the first attempt
My man watched James Bond and was like “I want to be the BARTENDER”
You get the appeal of the classy high-society and being in the midst of intrigue, but you're like 24% less likely to be shot
Except James Bond makes every bartender make a martini wrong. Never shake a martini kids.
Back in the 1988 then it was "Cocktail" by Tom Cruise, that spark a bartender craze.
EPIC.
Shaken not shtirred
We have a Vesper martini on the menu at the restaurant I work at and your explanation of the ingredients was great but also the story behind it makes it easier even to describe to myself when speaking to guests. Thank you!!
Me, a person who doesn’t drink alcohol, watching this at 5am: hmm yes very interesting 🧐🍸
Same !
yep I just hope I can prepare one for my friends or my hopeful future girlfriend
Literally 5am

Hey there! Even though “nowadays” people are using shakers for the Caipirinha, it is traditionally mixed with a bar spoon (after muddling and adding the fermented and distilled alcohol).
Great work! Everything looked amazing good :)
Why does he give off such "your best friend's cool but also awkward in a good way older brother" vibes
Weirdly so true

Well done! Watched this several times over the last 2 years, I think it debuted just before the shutdowns. I picked up a few chops here.. The content combined with the bartender's terrific mix of humor,certitude, swagger, and chin dimple, conspire to produce a great watch. Where is Jeff working now? Thanks Epicurious.
Me: Mixes lemonade and Ice tea
You know I’m something of a mixologist myself
That’s an Andrew Palmer

Is mixologist an actual word?
@@Neptuneend Yes, it's someone who invents drinks as a hobby. They don't make money doing that (you can't copyright a drink) unless they also own a bar to sell those drinks.
We call that an Uptown
The shaking of the drinks is as therapeutic as Bob Ross beating the devil out of his brushes. ;)

Love the old craft cocktails the best, wonderful to see them made correctly with proper ingredients.
Jeff is probably the most relatable host we’ve had, he’s so chill
as someone who just started working as a bartender with no experience, I'm happy this video exists! so far I've been just making it up on the go or searching the recipe online and it worked but it's nice to be able to actually see how to do it with style.
Hey how’s it been so far?
What Jeff likes:
Lemon Twist
Big Ice
James Bond
Dark n' Stormy
Grenadine
Absinthe
Fancy Cherries
20th Century
Boulevardier
Bee's Knees
What Jeff doesn't like:
Last Words
Olive Brine (22:20)
Moscow Mule Mugs
Any Garnish That's Not a Lemon Twist
(The game is to guess which one are drinks)
True and I like James Bond
He likes the fancy cherries.
He also likes the 20th Century (the drink).
He also likes fresh ice and a Boulevardier and doesn’t like the last word
Seems accurate.
Ain't no one talking about how epic these ice cubes are.
Specially the tall glass length one.
Dude if you love ice, watch a RUclipsr called how to drink. He makes cocktails from games
Interviewer: "And do you have any experience as a bartender?"
Me: *shows video*

@@emilal im muslim and im watching this for fun, i cant drink bro lmao
When out at a bar, I keep ordering the same three cocktails which are the basicest of basic so this gave me plenty of ideas what to try out! Love that.
I am purely non-alcoholic and have every intention of staying that way. But I can't lie, this video is VERY enjoyable to watch over and over!
The cinematography and angles of the drinks are very pleasing to the eye, and the crisp sounds of ice clinking and drinks shaken and stirred are like butter to the ears.
You can make drinks that are non alcoholic.
Why live so boringly and dull? Live life, mate.
@@mr.noseybonk8716 Why judge people on their life choices? Life can be perfectly fulfilling without alcohol. That person is living their life to the fullest and you are in no position to call their way of life dull and boring.
@@Zoe-ge5id You're dull and boring, gottem.
@@grenadier6483 you're fun at-
Nope I'm not even gonna use sarcasm, you must be horrible at parties
My gosh i didn't expect this to be so entertaining.
Do a part 2 soon please.
I learned to today... most drinks you buy at a bar... are like 60% ice.
MrHoliday yes, this is why it’s 100% worth it to save your “getting totally blasted” nights for drinking at home, and keep your “casually drinking a couple craft cocktails” nights at the bar. If you’re going for a great tasting cocktail it’s worth your money to head to an upscale bar or lounge, but if you just want to get very drunk you’ll save money by doing it at home :)
The measurements are all there, its not measured to the glass its measured to the recipe. The ice is to dilute the drink the desired amount to created a more palatable flavor. If you want a cocktail without ice or not diluted with ice at all, just let the bartender know. But don't expect extra alcohol. It will taste stronger if thats what you want.
@@joshr8573 But u can just double all the measurements and take half of the ice? what's so difficult to do this u dont need to be a math god for this... world is so greedy
@@JohnTronMusic double the ingredients and half the ice will give you a much worse flavour and a worse drink overall. It has to do with quality, not with greed
@@joshr8573 that really went over your head... better luck next time pal.
Just got a job as a bartender this week and im so excited to start! I cant wait to start! This is a great video to study up on prior to working!
They should do this again except he finishes each drink and just gets progressively more drunk throughout the video. Unfortunately it would probably only be a 10 minute video
If he's anything like the bartenders I know that would be a pretty standard afternoon tbf
Theres a guy that kinda does that .. look him up ..its steve the bartender
That would not end well.💀
Greg from How to Drink is basically this lol
Meh. I just like mixing things. And I’m a good drunk because when I’m having a drink, when I feel good I stay that way and push on the brakes, yo know.
As soon as this quarantine is over I’m going to his bar and giving him all my money
Just get some drinks to go, as they apparently do at his bar.
I'm going to the beach!
I'm having a party with all my friends when the quarrantine is over.
I live a few blocks away, go in occasionally - they’re doing cocktails to go. NYC has declared alcohol can be to go during all of this.
Same! I’m in nyc too & as soon as the coast is clear I’m running there. I know they have drinks to go rn, but I prefer to sit down and drink with my friends in a bar or restaurant not our living room 😂
Since coronavirus is shutting down schools and bars are closed, it’s time to put the kids to work!
My 18th is in a month and since I cant go out, it looks like I'm in for a good time
You sound like my father lol

Ive learned so much. I don't drink but am really interested in learning how to make some for friends. Thank you for the great video. 😊
the real question is how jeff remembers all of these recipes off his head *and more*
That's How It works when you do stuff for a long time
I always think of it like how I used to remember hundreds of pokemon AND their evolutions by name as a kid.
hey... we have the same name... unless yours doesn't go all the way like mine (Reiwa)
@@UncleVuitton nah it’s just rei, but reiwa is cool!
@@27vampire thanks… yours is cool as well… Sasaki is my last name and I’m from Suginami
Dont know why but the way he talks and jokes around is hella charming :)
Right? This guy made me understand the trope of people falling in love with bartenders lol
It's in the job description.
and that's why his bar is always full
Like he said, it's his job to please.
I would love to see Jeff do a basic Cocktails 101 that explains the "whys" of bitters, sugar, citrus, and portions.
It comes down to balance. Just like a food recipe.
The person drinking all these drinks at the filming must be hammered.
I think they are just orders
I have been a bartender for years,after watching this I am questioning all my drinks lol
He’s what I call a REAL bartender. Not just some guy or girl who works at tgi
Friday’s and calls themselves a bartender. I’ve had to show so many bartenders my phone when asking for a drink. It’s pathetic.
@@CrustyUgg maybe you shouldnt order such crazy drinks at a tgi fridays then.
@@CrustyUgg lmfao if they work at a bar that means they're a bartender. There are different levels of bartenders for different places but that doesn't mean you should discredit them for working at a place like tgi
@@CrustyUgg different places serve different drinks. not all bartenders need to know to to make every drink in existence lmao.
Dude..not all bars specialize all kind of cocktails
