The Scandalous History of the Manhattan Cocktail

Taking the etymology of the Manhattan cocktail as our starting point, we look at some of the interconnected scandals that surround its origin, in particular the story of Evelyn Nesbitt and Harry Kendall Thaw's murder of Stanford White. Along the way we cover the history of tabloid news and the skyscraper boom in New York in the early 20th century.

THIS is how videos pertaining to history SHOULD be done. Explain EVERYTHING from start to finish without leaving out even the slightest of details. You have a new subscriber in me. Excellent work!

These videos are criminally underrated

Fully planning on reciting this entire episode to people whenever they ask me about my favorite cocktail.

This is such a wealth of information about so many things I had no idea about, thanks so much

Fifty minutes? You could have warned me. I was a bottle down by 21:20..

Who needs to go out for a drink? Get the ingredients and stay in for a drink.

@cerberaodollam 3 года назад

as doing that before this mess. money-saving move.

@cerberaodollam 3 года назад

Dammit. Whiskey. Been a while since I had any. I typically don't mix it though. My usual line is "whiskey, straight - unlike me ;)"

I've only had one of those black Luxardo cherries once, at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin, it was an Irish take on an old fashioned, called a Bow Street Fashioned, made with Jameson whiskey (the distillery was on Bow Street). It was pretty good.

@Alliterative 4 года назад

They are very tasty but Not Cheap. That Bow Street Fashioned sounds delicious!

*Question:* How long does it take to create an Endless Knot episode? I assume the research takes the most time and effort, but about how much?

@Alliterative 4 года назад

Longer and longer, it seems! We've been working on this for 3 months, but of course not full time. For this one, the research maybe 30-50 hours, writing 30 hours, images and animation another 30-40, recording voiceover & editing, then editing the final product, maybe 10-20? We don't track our time, which is maybe for the best because now that I write it down it seems a bit overwhelming! We have two people working on it in between our 'real' jobs.

@calkinscvideo 4 года назад

@@Alliterative Curious, but how do you do the animations? What software do you use to draw and navigate over the connected items map?

@Alliterative 4 года назад

I put the images together in Inkscape & animate with Sozi, then we screen capture that & edit it together with the voiceover.

@calkinscvideo 4 года назад

@@Alliterative Thanks - I always wondered. It is a good effect.

@londoninflames Год назад

great video, very interesting. that manhattan at the end, i was salivating as he put it together, it looked like it would slip down a treat. *books taxi to ontario*

It would be worth the fare! 😁 (and thanks!)

@9:24...That street is pronounced "How-ston", not pronounced like the Texas city. Bartenders were rock stars in the 19th century. The most famous of them wrote several books of recipes and memoirs, and provides pretty good evidence for that bartender named Black who tended bar south of How-ston, an area referred to as SOHO.

@Alliterative 3 года назад

Yes, we've been informed -- I guess the name functioned properly as a shibboleth, since it made it clear that we haven't spent much time in New York! And yeah, I talked about some other famous bartenders more in my early videos about the word "Cocktail" itself.

@damond4 2 года назад

That name of the street where the club was-Houston Street? It’s pronounced How-ston in New York.

@Alliterative 2 года назад

Yeah, we've heard about that from quite a few people since we posted. Guess we outed ourselves as non-New Yorkers. ;)

@minecraftman8879 2 года назад

I lo e how mich detail and work went into the research, but i really came to hear about the cocktail and im 30min in have basically just learned where some words came from. I would really like less about stuff that does not pertain to the actual drink.
