Also, EVERY citrus fruit outside of the original 5 (mandarin, pomelo, citron, kumquat, and papeda) were genetically engineered through selective breeding.

Yep. Key limes are a hybrid of citron and micrantha, persian limes of key limes and lemons, lemons of citron and bitter orange and bitter orange of mandarin and pomelo.

@wineguy9017 4 месяца назад

Now I am encouraged. I have a great bar book "Drinking French" by David Lebovitz which covers the Paris and traditional French bar scene. He has over 12 Suze cocktails and several discussions about it. I would love for you to try out one that looks great: The Yellow Cocktail. Gin, Suze, Yellow Chartreuse, Lemon Juice. Created by Paris's Craven Restaurant's Franck Audoux. Sounds great.

@becorkle 3 месяца назад

I have that book as well. However, I have found most of the recipes in the book to be too vague when it comes ingredients, and there are usually better versions of the drinks to be found elsewhere.

@wineguy9017 3 месяца назад

I've tried the Tangerine Syrup ones and they are pretty good. As are the snack recipes in the back. My guess is that "vague" here means few brands listed. @@becorkle

Any mention of overproof rum should not stop at Wray and Nephew and Rum Fire. Worthy Park makes Rum Bar, the most sophisticated and interesting version of the “big three.” That’s the one to always have around. Also, I would do the Pennington with La Favorite 100 proof as well. Comes in a liter and is an absolute bargain.

You may want to check out Hawaii Supermarket and 168 market in San Gabriel for soursop. I believe they have it on occasion, or at least they have a bottled and or frozen version

Great video! If you love Suze like I do, you might also want to try the Yellow Cocktail from Drinking French by David Lebovitz: 3/4oz each of gin, lemon juice, Suze, and Yellow Chartreuse. Shake, strain into coupe, express a lemon peel and discard. A great cocktail for guests who say they don't like sweet drinks.

@nicktheflybradley 4 месяца назад

Hi Leandro, I made all 3 of these to your specs. My favourites are the Kingston Sound System and the corrected Fumata Bianca. In the latter I used Dollin dry vermouth. Worked a treat. I like them all though, and a joy to use what is still my first bottle of Suze, purchased in 2020. Nick from York

@wboardman 4 месяца назад

Our limes are green then they get rounder and yellow on the tree when you leave them. They are a lot sweeter when they are yellow. They still taste more like a lime that a lemon once yellow.

@markpetrak3282 4 месяца назад

I received Suze as a Christmas gift this year and have been loving its more subtle bitterness. Thx for posting a few more cocktail options. I already tried the Kingston Sound System and will be making that again. I'll make these other two once Dry January ends!

@TheGawel91 4 месяца назад

Finished my Suze bottle a couple months ago but now I want to get another one 😊 Suze is super good. Sometimes just Suze and tonic hits the spot.

@jeremyeckhause1747 4 месяца назад

Excellent! I have a few bottles of Suze I imported in my suitcase from a trip to France (much cheaper there, and was hard to find here back then). I recently got a bottle of rhum Agricole while down in the Caribbean and now I have a cocktail (beside the Suze tonic) to make in February (taking the month off for "dry January").

LEANDRO!!! Great video!!! I love Suze, so this was perfect!! I've have a slightly different version of the Kingston Sound System that had sugar, so I'll try this version. CHEERS!!!!

@MrSaintemilion 4 месяца назад

Hi Andreo, Suze is made from yellow Gentiane, not blue. I would definitely try your recipes. Also, I like the Lemon Tart cocktail (15ml Suze, 30ml Gin, 15ml lemon juice, 10ml simple syrup, 15ml egg white). It is as delicious as a lemon meringue pie!

@cfhollister8766 4 месяца назад

For the soursop, there is a soursop liqueur called Mayakoba that I was able to get even in the smaller town in Washington where I live. Using that might also add a little more sugar. Also, I haven't been able to get a bottle of Suze yet; instead what I've been able to get instead is another gentian liqueur called Avèze. I understand is that it's a bit less sweet and less bitter than Suze. So in cocktails like the second one that does Suze & vermouth, I use Avèze & Cocchi Americano (which is more sweet and more bitter than most vermouth).

@bobbarron1920 4 месяца назад

I’ve been using Suze for a long time. I also like Salers, especially if you need water-white gentian flavors.

@Deathmuggle 4 месяца назад

Limes in america have to be harvested early when they are green by law. They are yellowish if allowed to ripen and sweeten. Same will happen if you leave them on the counter long enough. The do change flavor and taste less “limey”.

@shooteveryday1841 4 месяца назад

I’ve been able to find a soursop juice at my local Mexican grocery, and it makes fantastic cocktails I highly recommend you find some- it has a mix of flavors between pineapple and pear. If you need to substitute it, I would probably go 2/3 pineapple 1/3 pear.

@aginsfbayarea7350 4 месяца назад

I make a martini using Suze. If you like a Vesper, then I think you'll like it with Suze as well. 2.5 oz gin (Old Tom works really well), 0.5 oz blanco vermouth, 0.5 oz Suze, 2 dashes orange bitters. Shake or stir and garnish with lemon peel.

@williamvalvo3110 4 месяца назад

All very interesting uses of gentian liqueur. I was introduced to that type through Salers, which I still prefer over suze - much less sweet. My first gentian cocktail was the Vatican City, which is still my favorite. And I think it's the drink that introduced me to the Educated Barfly!

@TheEducatedBarfly 4 месяца назад

Yup, that's Mikki Kristola's cocktail, and that original video is an oldie, from back in 2018!

@Kevlar830 3 месяца назад

Probably too late to be read but, if you need Soursop juice, I can find them in Asian groceries/supermarket (in Europe at least) in the form of drinking cans. It's not 100% juice, it's a "nectar" so between 25-50% juice but it does the trick and should be closer anyway than using pineapple. By the way, since it's often imported it may not be written in English but if you see "Guanábana" in Spanish or "Corossol" in French, it's the same thing. Great video as always ! :D

@imoldandyoureinmyway 4 месяца назад

Limes are green when unripe, yellow limes are not "overly" ripe, they are just ripe, but they go bad very quickly once you pick them. Limes are only green because that's the only way to ship them commercially. It's a lot like tomatoes, generally you will never get an actual ripe tomato in the supermarket. It's picked green and unripe because that's the only way to ship it.

@corylaflin5064 4 месяца назад

I literally picked that book up last weekend, saw this very recipe, saw that it called for soursop and put the book back down again (I bought Dale DeGroff's book instead) because I wasn't dealing with another cocktail book that demands prohibitively exotic ingredients.

@Sj_cpt11 4 месяца назад

Hey Leandro! If you are still interested on getting soursop, there is a martket named Dat Moi that is located in Hawthrone. It is about 40 minutes north of OC. Now they do not carry the fresh fruit but they do have the puree. Hope that helps and thanks for all great cocktail recipes!!

@TheEducatedBarfly 4 месяца назад

we also found puree at Superior Grocers here in Highland Park. So we might need to revisit this, maybe in our Patreon!

@facekick459 4 месяца назад

I thought I would be sitting on this 1 Liter bottle of Suze I got from France years ago until you reminded me of it with this video! I'll definitely have to pick it up again and try all of these out (especially the KSS with pineapple. I learned that I abhor soursop). However, because my bottle is from Europe, it's 15% instead of 20%. Wouldn't this mean I should refrigerate it like a vermouth after it's opened?

@barstoolbanter7212 4 месяца назад

How about a video showcasing Bonal Gentiane-Quina? I recently picked up a bottle and while I do enjoy the flavor I don't have many ideas what to do with it. I have tried a Sharpie Mustache which is very good but there's not a ton out there. Any suggestions?

@MrMoney331 4 месяца назад

How in the world am I just learning about Marius's channel?!?!?!

@MrGeometry9 4 месяца назад

At home in PR limes just get funky when they yellow not really sweet. Also soursop is pretty sweet in comparison to pineapple which adds acidity as well as sweetness unbalancing the og.

Soursop is also known as guanabana. It should be easier to find at a Latinx markets, as it's a fruit originating from South America. I've found it in nectar form, it has flavors similar to pineapple, strawberry, and banana.
