Making an Award-Winning Martini (Shaken is a lie!) 

One cold gin with 2 olives, please.

The bartender should start a RU-vid channel, I would subscribe

Brian, you should have another channel based around Mixology. Great Video!

are you going to be doing more cocktail episodes? this was interesting and fun to watch and i would like to see more of them

You're telling me that bar doesn't have a god damn sink?

the modern rouge is my favorite youtube 'show' MAKE MORE NOW!

So basically at the end we have a martini glass of gin and nothing else..

This was a really good vid. Trevor and them had great chemistry!

THANK YOU FOR VLOGGING!!!

That was a cool bartender, also the trick with the Martini was something I´ve heard once (not this specific one but simular to it) and I like it when I see a different aproach to cocktails that I know becouse it gives even more insight to the whole thing and even can help to creat a new and (maby) even more exciting expirience.

I hope this becomes a new series. Really really dope vid

This is gin with ice. I tryed martini made this way. It tatste like dilute gin. I like a 1:1 ratio. It was common before churchill and in my opinion it tastes better.

This is awesome. Do more like this! :)))

That guy needs a sink.

No way that small amount of vermouth made any difference. You just drank gin straight with some olives in it.

people seriously need to stop saying shaken martinis are a "lie" you like your drink the way you like it. I wish they knew how snobby and cringy they sound.

Brian, I am going to be in Corpus Christi at the end of May, any chance you guys will be filming near there at that time? I've wanted to meet you and the crew for ages now!

I dislike the taste of vermouth, too gamey, but it is essential in a martini. Keep in the refrigerator once opened. I use Dolin Dry, this I can tolerate. I add a capful and then 3 1/2 oz of Beefeater gin, dash or two of orange bitters. Stir and strain, add a lemon peel. Very nice.

I like to put the gin the glass the shaker (with ice in it) and jigger all in the freezer and get them real cold for about a hour. 2:1 ratio gin and vermouth shaken. Garnish with olives. The little water that does come from the ice freezes on top of the martini. And I like it! Looks cool too!

I'm a little skeptical about just coating the vermouth on the glass, aren't u just drinking stright up vodka or Gin with olive or lemon peel?

Brian, I need to know the song playing in the background.

Now that looked good, i'll be trying this one out in the future.. Right now i'm about to enjoy some whiskey though. Cheers!

dude jason and bartender suspenders man looks so intense explaining the drinks, theyre like selling brian insurance or someshit.

Ayy, that's cool either way. Guess I'll have to make my martini's this way from now on.

Last time I was this early.. My boots were still dry

I like this, make more xD

I couldn't see the spoon part of the stirring spoon, and I just didn't understand why this guy was stirring with a drill bit.

Jason totally watched the "raising the bar" episode of Good Eats on Food Network before making this video! :D Alton Brown would be proud!

Great Brew!

this is one of the coolest videos I've seen on scam school! this bartender is awesome

This is how I make my martini. I even actually soak the olives in the vermouth . I've never had a complaint. And I don't shake it either. A girl I work with showed me this once and it has since then stuck with me.

Some good comments, some interesting ones, overall good video. Shaken drinks will dilute, but it can also change the desired flavor. I stir most of the martinis I make, but it takes more time to chill the drink using this technique. Also after the alcohol hits a certain temperature, no additional stirring or shaking will matter. Finally I was taught "classic" martinis either get one or three olives. Never two. *shrug* I'll continue the tradition

Brian... what the fuck was this? I LOVED IT!

Awesome. Thanks!

i'm your new subscribe, and i still thinking about "euler trail", can you solved that puzzle ? thanks before and sorry for my grammar 😀

The reason why you don't want to shake but stir is that you want a crystal clear drink and not shake air into the mix, you can have the same dilution or cooling with shaking and stirring, but you can't shake without clouding your drink. This is why drinks with all clear ingredients are usually stirred, not shaken. Also I think that this is not a Martini, but Gin with an Olive in a Vermouth coated glass, not what I would expect if I ordered a "Martini". The usual "Dry Martini" is a 2:1 ratio, a "Perfect Martini" is a 1:1 ratio, and a "wet" one would be 1:2 Gin to Vermouth and you'd have a dash of bitters in it (even though I prefer it without). The Olive doesn't make a Martini, it's just garnish. Some prefer a lemon twist. Hitchcock said he'd preferred a Martini where the Gin has seen the Vermouth across the room - that was to say in a more elaborate manner: "I don't like your shit fancy Martini-Cocktail-mumbo-jumbo, give me a glass of pure, honest Gin and fuck off".

this is not 4:1 ratio. If you pour out the vermouth you can say 4:2, 4:4 or even 4:8 ratio and it would be the same - just whatever amount is left on the glass... It can be that 1 ounce, same it can be 0.5 ounce, it can be 2 ounces etc. Same result. If you say 4:1 you should mean that that 1 is staying.

i agree with the shaking. don't need to shake just stir have a seat and enjoy!

I make gin and tonics with a double shot of Seagram's Twisted Lime exxtra dry gin with lime liquor that's been kept in a freezer at about 28°f, a 16oz glass with crushed and cubed ice, toped of with chilled tonic water with quinine, stirred 10-20 times, the rim rubbed and garnished with a lime and served. Secret fact the drink glows in blacklight because of the tonic water with quinine!

What kind of Gin is that? Brand? Dry ect?

I really love how jason pronounced the word "wermut" and i knew that we germans are the best with alcohol exspecial with beer :D

Isn't there a recent bond movie where he orders a vodka martini with a lemon twist shaken not stirred. Point being now there is citrus and it should be shaken?

Cool I'll have to remember that once I turn 21

So what's the reason for the vermouth wash? It coats the glass, but once you pour in the gin it'll just melt back into the drink I would think. So my not just add a very small amount of vermouth to the chilled gin?

Imagine dumping alcohol on the ground

Thing is... Bond is served or orders Vodka Martinis most the times. In rare occations he drinks the Vesper or a Dirty variant.

this is one hilarious bartender, he's kinda douchy but in a likeable way

I've made it before by adding vermouth to the ice in the shaker and pouring out before stirring the gin. Same same in a way. But I personally like more vermouth. Maybe 1/2 ounce. Dry and dirty as its called.

I'd enjoy trying that martini! I prefer a vodka martini made without using ice from a bottle kept in the freezer.

I order my martini shaken and they come to my table with a small shaker and ice cold martini glass. Smooth!

Do some more drinks with this bartender. I need a good list for when I turn 21 in 1 1/2 years.

This is probably my favorite also.

k so just some 007 trivia for you and correct me if I'm wrong. James Bond takes his drink "Shaken, Not stirred" because Bond wanted to lower the potency of the beverage itself, Thus giving the illusion to his enemy's that he was a heavy drinker when he is really just on his game 24/7. Food for thought sweet video guys!

Name of the background song?

Can we do it in vodka martini???

So, if shaking it would cause there to be more water in the drink, wouldn't it makes sense for James Bond to order it "Shaken, not Stirred"? He is a spy after all and shouldn't be drunk while on missions, so he orders the variant that would contain more water, less alcohol (by comparison) and he would still be operational at the end of the niight?

I like how the episode starts off under the pretense that Bond has, in any way, categorically stated that shaken is a superior preparation method compared to stirring a martini. It's a personal preference of his. No one told you it was a lie. You only thought it was.

I shake any alcohol forward drinks at the casino for the dilution because we are not suppose to have people intoxicated to the level you would get away with at say a bar. But I agree it is suppose to be stirred.

What if you just keep the gin in the freezer and skip the ice altogether?

This video taught me that there's a place called the Steampunk Saloon I need to visit

4:24 recipe link url :p

im gonna make a video on doing this

If your intention is to chill Gin without adding too much water in it, why don't just chill it from outside (like the whole bottle) instead of mixing it with the ice?

Thats how Dr. Forbin makes his martini in "Colossus: The Forbin Project". He was trying to confuse the computer by doing human stuff, but it didn't work.

Was very sceptical at first, come on every bartender ( maybe four or five, six at the most ) that i've ordered it from shook the hell out of the ingridients. The last and only one time i did it myself the the result was mediocre at best. Now having used noilly prat and tanqueray and cheapo olives i am a convert. the result was really perfectly balanced!!

Why would you drop the liquid on the floor?...

Hmmm personally I'd go for a nicer vermouth than that and some, hmmm, maybe some nice Scottish gin. Love me some Scots gin. You guys should cover the classic rye Manhattan. I wonder if the same technique could be applied since it too is a simple stirred drink!

AND, in true magicians' tradition, Brian makes the martini disappear!

You used 1.5oz of Gin in this video, not 2oz. You need to go all the way to the top. Where you stopped was around the 1.5 mark

All three of these dude waaaaay too flamboyant.....

you guys should make a video about Cuba Libre or Mojito

Sold!

I'd actually give a martini a chance if I had one of those

Where is the recipe

I don't believe I've every had a martini but they sure do look like a lot of work. I'm not a fan of gin so I can't imagine it would be something I'd like.

but the 007 whats water in his drink as he only ever drinks a sip in all the films so h is sober in all of his missions

I'm gonna have to watch this again... I was too distracted by how cute Trever was to pay any attention to the video itself.

So basically gin with a few drops of vermouth

I'll have a beer.

2:05, idiotic fake laugh followed by serious expression confirming the fakeness of it.

that's watered down gin. 3:1 gin:vermouth works well for me. Bombay Sapphire is too floral. USe a clean london dry like gordon's or beefeater's. NOilly Prat is my go to choice for vermouth.

Can you not use just enough vermouth that it only coats the glass with no extra remaining? You're just pouring it out after all!

This Martini looks very nice. However, there is no single way to make this iconic cocktail, as long as you are using Gin and Vermouth, and garnishing with either a lemon peel or an olive. Anything outside of this (Vodka, chocolate, colouring, cherries, etc might make a nice drink but it is not a Martini!) Personally, I like a 4-1 ratio Martini (4 parts Gin, 1 part Dry Vermouth) Shaking seems passé in modern cocktail culture, perhaps because it sounds clichéd, or maybe because it renders the liquid cloudy. But I like to shake my Martini, very hard and very fast with lots of ice for about 4 seconds. The cloudiness dissipates in less than a minute and you have a colder beverage. Plus, shaking has been shown to produce an antioxidant effect, so you've got a healthier drink. My preferred garnish is a lemon peel twist (this is the yellow skin with as little pith as possible, none of the 'meat' of the lemon) but I am happy to have a stuffed Queen olive if lemon is unavailable.

We say "a teardrop" of vermouth

last time I saw this guy..he didn't look the same *gazing at his hair*

Would this drink work with vodka?

Where's the Rohypnol?

I love you bartender karl urban

Bruh he just throws it on the floor.

uh yes, I will have both shaken and stirred in one drink please

Trevor's hair looks exactly like mine btw

if you had the bermuth, you could pour it out and drink it instead of throwing it out

No, no, no. Shaken is the way to go. With vodka. Extra dirty.

Do more drinks

it look nice buy I need to wait 2 more years bevoor I can try.

hey

03:13 Ice gone 03:15 Ice in the glass 03:24 Ice gone What kind of sorcery is this?

I remember when my husband asked for a "James bond drink" and everyone was making fun of him bc it looked so girly lol

I like more vermouth than others i guess... I know it's cool to drink it's close to straight gin for some people but I'm not one of em. 1 to 2 ratio for me

What about best 1st drink for someone who recently turned 21?
