I’ve been making my kids Shirley Temples with your grenadine recipe and now they refuse to drink Shirley Temples when we are out to eat because they think restaurant grenadine tastes bad now. Thanks Anders!
My husband and I actually stopped the video, wound it back a bit, and made the Mexican Firing Squad with you. Mine was per recipe, he added soda water as suggested, we each tried both, and then swapped drinks, lol. Definitely adding these to the regular drinks list! Very good!
Anders this may be the most useful list video you’ve ever made. Bravo! When people ask me where to start with a basic bar I often give them a list of cocktails that share common ingredients. For those who enjoy grenadine, now I can just send them this video link 👏 More list videos with drinks that share a common (maybe even rarely used) ingredient!
That bit about the new fridge and freezer was the most down to earth and relatable thing I've seen on your channel yet. Just a dude being a dude. Getting stoked about upgrades to your space. Love it. Congrats on the grenadine!!
Congratulations on the grenadine. I know what it takes to develop a product. My brother spent 8 years perfecting a root beer. Another 2 in finding the right company to produce and bottle. 25 years of successful sales and retired.
As an Oregon resident I applaud your choice of partnership. Those folks at Portland Syrups are amazing, and we are so proud of our beautiful Oregon. Thanks Anders. ❤
I love Portland Syrups! Everything they have is so yummy. Their cranberry spice syrup is seasonal and delicious. I love their lavender syrup and their mango habanero.
I really like rye, and when you said you were making 10 grenadine recipes, I was hoping you'd include the Scofflaw. It's one of my favorite cocktails. I use your grenadine recipe, but make it just a tiny bit less sweet, and it is wonderful. It's one of only a couple cocktails that I make with dry vermouth.
In 1703 the Dutch proposed a 3- mile limit, beyond cannon shot. In the 20th century the 12-mile limit was preferred by many countries. During Prohibition the US extended to 12 miles because boats were setting up off 3 miles. The UN Conventions set 12-mile territorial waters in 1982.
You didn’t even have to get though the whole ad for your grenadine, I’m sold. I’ve been very unhappy with my own grenadine every time I made it. So I’m in.
My (13-year old) daughter and I make grenadine using your recipe…me for cocktails and her for Shirley Temples. (It’s also delicious over vanilla ice cream.) We’ll have to buy a bottle and try it!
I live in Canada, and I just got back from Portland. Portland Syrups is lovely and their subscription box is really cool. Also, the grenadine is fabulous. Thank you, Anders.
Congratulations on your grenadine recipe! I made your recipe during the pandemic (when I first came across your channel, which was a life line during that time) and it kicked off my journey into homemade syrups, shrubs, saccharins and salvation 😊
Solid work! Don't sell yourself short. All your videos are awesome! You've just matured over the years. Thank you for the excellent grenadine, first bottle ordered and can't wait to make the pomegranate limeade recipe with my daughter. Cheers!
🎉congratulations 🍾! I’m so happy that you’ve partnered with a really good company to bottle your Grenadine! I started making my own last year (your recipe 😊) and it’s amazing! I loved this video, bringing so many greats together and the refreshing NA at the end! Congratulations 🎉 👏🏽 thrilled for y’all 🎉Cheers!🍸
hey Anders, would you consider doing an "modern" Amaro tasting episode? i know you have the vintage one. but there are just so many different ones out there and it's hard to know what you're getting without buying the whole bottle.
Hi Anders, congratulations on your grenadine!!….10 beautiful cocktails-great video ….you are a rockstar!….so many fantastic choices, hard to pick one!👌👌🤗🤗❤️❤️ have a good weekend and as always “CHEERS!”🍸🥃😁😁
Thank you Anders! I’m anxious to share your Grenadine with my family. We’re also heading on a cruise and I’m inspired to ask the bartenders about their grenadine…thanks to you.
I haven't bought a bottle of grenadine since I came upon your recipe! All the kids in my life love it for Shirley Temples and it makes a fabulous cocktail! Can't wait to try your bottled version!
Hey congratulations on getting a product out there Anders! hilarious 😂 a great list of cocktails! I've made most of these and im sure they'll be even better with your own grenadine! And thank you for the non-alcoholic cocktail that doesn't need fancy ingredients because our kids regularly want in on the cocktails and i never have the other bits and pieces to make most of the ones I've found on youtube but i can make this one with what i already have around 😀 perfect!
You are so entertaining and very knowledgeable in your field. I enjoy your videos. They are very informative. Will definitely try some of these. Not all at once mind you. Cheers! Congratulations on launching your own grenadine. 😊
Nice one! Great grenadine for the masses. And yes you're right. Wondrich did produce the great article "History lesson: El Presidente cocktail" for Imbibe magazine. There's where he mentioned Dolin blanc as the closest match to vermouth from 1910's Cuba. Hence tasting your El Presidente is like a time machine. Wish more bars were making it.
My riff on the Mexican Firing Squad I call a "Red Sky at Night". 2oz Del Maguey mezcal, .75 oz lime juice, .5 oz grenadine, a bar spoon of agave, and a few dashes orange bitters
@@AndersErickson it is. I started making them last year when the Canadian wildfires made everything taste like smoke. Figured everything was going to taste like smoke anyway t so may as well use mezcal instead of tequila.
Awesome, congratulations! And good choice in partners. Several years ago, when I had my cidery in Portland, I used a slew of their syrups in designing a radler for a Radler Fest. Great people and fantastic products. Cheers!
I love Portland Syrups! They’re relatively easy to come by here in the PNW and their hibiscus cardamom syrup is to DIE for! Can’t wait to try the grenadine!
Hi Anders, currently on medication due to gout and off alcohol, I noted your ‘extra’ recipe and have made it using my home made grenadine. Yes, it is a very flavoursome refresher! Nick from York
Ordered two bottles. Can’t wait to replicate these recipes. We still need to set up a Florida road trip some time. East coast of Florida near Stuart. Maybe have a fan meetup. There’s a great craft cocktail place, Kyle G’s Oyster and Wine Bar in St Lucie West Florida.
I actually really like this format of showing us a bunch of drinks to make out of one main base ingredient. So often I make a batch of some kind of syrup, and only have 1 or 2 drinks in mind to use with it. Great video!
Dear Mr. Anders. -Long-time watcher. My partner & watch your videos before bed (unless we realize we have to make a cocktail). Two things I have been wanting to suggest for some time: - State Line Distillery (in Madison) has the best coffee liqueur I've ever tried (as a coffee snob). - Mrs. Better's Bitters is an amazing vegan foamer we use which doesn't have the chickpea flavor of aquafaba. I hope you might enjoy them!
This guy knows his drinks and I love his personal tweaks and recommendations to the basic recipes. Always well explained and informative. Also big up T&T!
Finally, a good option! It's always been either rose's corn syrup garbage or I had to make it myself. And it's not like I live somewhere where it's hard to find ingredients or anything either. I've barely started the video but I've already ordered a bottle
I just made a quart of grenadine not two days ago and was wondering just what the heck I was going to do with all of it. What wonderful timing! Also I made an el presidente the other day and I was impressed, but I feel like the alteration I made was absolutely fantastic. What I had was flor de cana rum, dolin de chambery vermouth, cointreau, and home made grenadine. I liked the standard recipe well enough but I felt it had the same issue that I have with a lot of other classic vermouthy liqueury drinks in that it was a bit heavy and sappy feeling so I added 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice and a barspoon of orange blossom water. Brother I was in heaven. It might be sacrilege to alter your favorite but I wholeheartedly recommend trying it at least once.
You helped me finally understand the El Presidente! I've seen so many cocktail RU-vidrs make it, and I've tried it several times with each of their varying specs, but I never really liked it. Seeing the type of vermouth and choice of rum, I realized I had been using rums with too much oak flavors. I knew I wouldn't want anything funky or grassy either. I considered Hamilton White Stache but decided on Batavia Arrack, and it's fantastic! The chocolate notes of the rum combined with your grenadine recipe, slightly modified on the flower water and added some citric and malic acid, work amazing together!
I'm so happy for you!!! And us!!! I will definitely be investigating your grenadine because I also hate all granite on the market and avoid them. I haven't even finished watching a video yet, but I know the cocktails will be great !
DUDE! As soon as I saw the bottle I got super excited! I work for Home Goods, and we sell other syrups with that label and branding. I'm hoping that means I'll soon have your grenadine in my store, and I will absolutely be pushing it to my customers! ❤
Another great vid!! Some tasty drinks here I've made ... and a few I'll add to the list. I like a Meyer lemon for a Ward 8 (since a Meyer is a cross between a regular lemon and a Mandarin orange), although my wife prefers just a regular lemon and leave out the orange.
Finally used up my old grenadine so I could get this. So good and thank you! And now I want you to partner with all my Portland favorites. Next up: Anders designs a Nick and Nora with Bull in China? Acidifies an orange juice with Commissary? Az does a tasting of the Freeland seasonals? Putting it out there....
I've made your Grenadine recipe exactly once and have lamented not having the time to make it more often. Really excited that it's now available at any time! Thanks for making this delicious and newly convenient syrup as well as the fun video! 😁
