45 seconds in and I liked and subscribed. Your presentational style, voice, sound editing and videography just make me say, YES! OK now, back to watching your educational video.
Very good tips! Although to hear the whole story keep in mind that there are some guys in the industry that consider the bar spoon trick not that good having that it creates nucleation points when bubbles form and carbonation gets lost
Gin an tonic shouldn't even be stirred Bar spoon ruins the carbonation. The best way is to add gin first ,then tonic and then add ice so the drink can be mixed by the addition of the ice
Hey guys, I think we are talking about fine tuning here and apparently you know how to mix drinks. But for a lot of people, this technique has been working and whether or not you like it, it is undoubtedly better to do this than dropping tonic like an animal in your glass. The lost of carbonation happens when a foam of bubbles forms. So if you pour it gently, with or without a spoon, it will help you to preserve the fizz. But as I always say, you do what’s good for you. Cheers
The video is very interesting! You explain very well all the steps and processes to follow to create a good gin and tonic, but I disagree with the way to serve the tonic. There are already several scientific studies that refute the idea that serving the tonic by the spoon makes the tonic retain more bubbles. What's more, it has been proven that this way the tonic loses more CO2.
Thanks for the comment Nicolas. I would really like to know where your studies come from because I’ve yet to find one that really proves that. On top of that, my personal opinion experience really consolidated that practice. But I’m always willing to learn if you can point out the proof of what you say, I’m down.
Thanks a lot for all of your valuable hints on a recipe which apparently seems so simple. I think yout tips will get your g&t on another level! I am really interested in your Copa glasess. Where can I get these?
Since i dont have gin available for the moment what about using akvavit as a substitute? I do have a bottle of a swedish akvavit that i really do like. I must admitt that the gin you are using are on my wishlist from now on.
Using GRAS essential oils. If you are in doubt and want to learn more about this, look at the video about essences on Art Of Drink RU-vid channel. You’ll find everything you need to know
Recently, many great Canadian gins have become more relevant in the market. Empress is definitely one of my favorites out there. Other great ones include Ungava Premium, Reid's Gin, and Valley of the Mother of God. All of them have amazing botanicals and flavors and work well in classic cocktails and G&Ts. Hopefully soon, I can see more Canadian classical and London dry style gins with the same high quality of these botanicals.
Hai fatto un errore che i bartender insegnano a non fare.L'acqua tonica non si versa mai utilizzando la parte lunga del manico del bar spoon ma direttamente nel bicchiere.Al massimo la si puo far scendere utilizzzando il dorso della parte finale del bar spoon.
Sorry but that part about lots of ice falls down really quickly when one considers surface area. Put ten ice cubes in and you have forty times the surface area of one cube (roughly) and each tenth of a degree rise or a constant temperature will release a lot of water, offsetting the stronger rise in temperature imparted by one ice cube. That thing to do instead is to freeze your gin. The alcohol content will not freeze the bottle, but will allow the temperature to drop well below the freezing point of water. Pure alcohol freezes at about minus 173 F, and the normal 80 proof sold in the USA does not freeze until minus 17 F or -27 C - something that no freezer can hit. Just FYI. But then a super cold drink loses flavor and aroma.
I'm no expert here, but most other videos I've seen about the topic do the exact opposite this guy does. E.g they say it's very wrong to pour the tonic through the barspoon like that, and they say that adding unneeded stuff will alter the quality of an otherwise already-balanced gin (which is supposed to be good by itself, otherwise, why would I spend a lot of money on a bottle...?). So I'm quite confused here.... is this video a parody? Are you doing the opposite on purpose? Genuine question here.
That sounds and looks like a really great Gin & Tonic.I prefer The Illusionist Dry Gin, it's organic and changes its colour as well. Of course I like the taste as well. Schweppes Dry Tonic or Fever Tree Indian Tonic are my favourite Tonic Water to go with The Illusionist.
