Ms. Cara, every time that I watch your channel, you turn me onto something new. I have enjoyed Absinthe a few time and have enjoyed the first two cocktails that you made. However, this was the first time that I have heard of the Pan American Clipper. I am definitely going to try this one. You are a true Master.

Had the very same thoughts when I first tried Death in the Afternoon and La Lousiane. Pan American needs a lot of ingredients that I don't have ready at hand, but seeing you so enthused about it, maybe I should still give it a try. Great video by the way! Thanks a lot!

@wesley907 2 года назад

Excited to see this. We made the LA LOUISIANE tonight. I like using Antica Formula vermouth instead of the run-of-the-mill red vermouth. There are other good substitutions as well. This was a very interesting cocktail.

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

Glad you liked it!

@bim41337 2 года назад

For me the best Absinthe drink will always be the Sazerac. It's what brought me into the cocktail game, and I continue to love it to this day :) Knew the first two drinks already, and will try the Clipper as soon as I can :) One question though: Is it grenadine juice or syrup you're using in that one? It looks a little like juice in the video, but usually grenadine refers to the syrup ... thank you for those great ideas, and have a happy new year soon!

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

It’s the syrup 😊

Haha! Honestly most of them the story is ‘they’re pretty’

@ryandeklerk9553 2 года назад

The Pan American Clipper was wonderful! Though the absinthe was mainly noticeable in smell but not taste. Personally, my favorite absinthe cocktail is the Momisette - I think it's a good intro to absinthe for a lot of people if you like the anise flavor.

@paulfaber5143 2 года назад

Nice Absinthe dripper on the bar! I guess we’ll see that in action in the next video? I have that same bitters bottle for my Absinthe. I bought everything but a dripper to try Absinthe ($80 bottle, LaRochere glasses, spoons, sugar cubes) but now mostly use it for Sazeracs & La Louisiane. It’s good to see you making that classic. One of my favorites (along with its cousin Vieux Carre).

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

There is a deeper dive on absinthe coming and we did do the dripper but in all honesty we ran out of time in filming to do it justice probably!

I'm also quite a fan of the Necromancer cocktail (after reballancing it slightly from the version I found that used way too much absinth and just hidd everything else going on)

Hi Cara, I have enjoyed having a death in the afternoon, made to double your spec because of 200ml Prosecco bottle used for the fizz. Not fully kicked in yet but have told my wife I won’t have another drink until muck later! It was lovely. Nick from York

@Molach101 2 года назад

The Pan American Clipper sounds smashing. I'm a big fan of calvados/apple brandy. Would it be okay to use a dash of absinthe as opposed to a spray?

@jameshaulenbeek5931 2 года назад

I'd guess that the spray keeps the volatile compounds closer to the surface more for aroma (and slight flavor). A drop or two would provide a similar flavor but likely a little less aromatic quality.

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

Exactly, would definitely still work but you won’t get as much on the nose!

@Molach101 2 года назад

@@BehindtheBar Thank you so much. I like the fact you've included cocktails with absinthe as a dash, spray or a rinse because it shows how a little can go a very long way.

@jshalvorsen3D 2 года назад

I love your videos! They are so well explained and so easy to follow. There is only one thing that kinda drives me nuts and that is the sound of a phone vibrating or something that regularly happens throughout the videos. An example can be heard @2:35. This annoyance probably says more about me than the videos, but it's my only criticism. Bingewatching the videos like a mad man after being bit by the home-cocktail bug. Keep up the awesome work guys!

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

Hey pal, so glad you’ve found them useful! I’ve driven myself crazy listening to that part with the sound up to see what you mean haha, but I’m still not sure- is it the actual little noise which sort of sounds like a ring tone cause if so that’s part of the music? Otherwise maybe a tram going by in the distance? We don’t film in a sound controlled studio, just a regular restaurant in a busy suburb so there’s often noises we can’t control and while we’ll start again where there’s anything too drastic it’s impossible to do it for every little thing. Promise we all keep our phones on silent haha!

@TheCronedoggy 2 года назад

The first time making the pan American I got confused and reversed the lime and grenadine quantities, and it was a way worse drink. It's amazing how much of a difference+5ml gren and -5 lime can change a cocktail.

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

Always interesting to see how much little changes affect it though!

@taquitopicante5863 2 года назад

...Speaking of apple brandy, it seems rather hard to find so I was wondering, is it hard to find, or do I need to get out more? Cheers from AZ. 😉 OH! and yes, cocktail #3 sounds amazing.

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

I’ve never struggled too much but I suppose it depends where you are- Calvados is usually pretty easy to find around Europe and Applejack is popular in America but yeah, outside of there might be trickier…

@frankmartinez4856 2 года назад

Cara Mia, not my kind of drink! But will turn it on to my gals! Pan American Airline look good !

@user-oo7my4xm1k 2 года назад

Hi Clara, why did you compare La Louisiana with Manhattan? IMHO it looks more like a sazerac. I'm just curious) the video is always on top, great job!

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

It’s definitely similar to both! Just because it uses vermouth and a liqueur as the sweetener rather than just sugar as in the Sazerac, so can be seen as the whiskey/fortified wine combination of the Manhattan, plus it’s usually served in a coupe glass rather than a small rocks but it’s sort of like the two had a baby I suppose haha!

@xamathplay1628 2 года назад

Any chance you could do some sort of a Ceylon Arrack cocktail?

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

@xamathplay1628 2 года назад

That would be great if you could try! There's hardly anything like that on RU-vid.

@ibrewalot 2 года назад

Truthfully, I'm a bit surprised at the limited role absinthe played in the second and third cocktails...a few dashes or a couple of spritzes are less of a player than I expected. However, having just read the title again and given the video is about "ways to use absinthe" as opposed to "absinthe cocktails", I'm guessing the miss is really on my end. :-) Glad to see you back posting!

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

And absinthe is such a strong flavour that it definitely still plays a good role in these 😊!

@paulfaber5143 2 года назад

Try a La Louisiane. 3 or 4 dashes of absinthe is plenty to make itself known. Delicious.

@havenrugger 2 года назад

Being an extract, absinthe has very often been used sparingly in cocktails because it's such a strong flavor. If you look at the Savoy Cocktail book, there's over 100 recipes that call for absinthe, most in the form of rinses or barspoons. But just like bitters, it can add a huge amount of depth, even with that small amount.

@rg03500 2 года назад

Hey Cara, I love a Sazerac and would like to make the Louisiane, but I don't have Benedictine....nor do I know what it is lol Is it expensive? And are there maybe some replacements I could use?

@BehindtheBar 2 года назад

It’s a French herbal liqueur, sort of tastes like a cross between Chartreuse and Drambuie haha! I wouldn’t stress about buying a whole bottles, it’s not crazy expensive but no point if you won’t use it much! Try and introduce that herbal note through something else you have, maybe a bitters or an amaro?

@rg03500 2 года назад

@@BehindtheBar oooh I have amaro (thanks to watching your videos) I'll try that when I get home, thanks!

@paulfaber5143 2 года назад

Benedictine is necessary for a number of New Orleans classics. You can get it in 375 ml bottles, which helps if you don’t use it. Confusingly they sell a popular product called B&B - Benedictine & Brandy - which has a very similar bottle but is NOT the stuff needed for cocktail recipes. I’ve heard that Benedictine is more popular in the USA than its native France. It’s fairly easy to find (or order) at most quality US liquor stores.

@WBlake01 2 года назад

The people are unanimous... Going over it again you sprayed a good 3 times which is more absinthe than what a Sazerac recipe or most things similar use, as you say. So on second thought it definitely belongs on this list.
