Fellow Massachusetts citizen here! Was looking for a vid on this! I’m a big Tom Collins fan. Most folks in my family prefer vodka cocktails, but I’ve never liked the taste of vodka myself. Something about the sourness with a slight sweetness works with most gin cocktails to me, and Tom Collins is just like a fine accented lemonade to me, and I adore it. Then again, I’m less of a drinker than most of my Irish family anyway haha (I’m the lightweight lol)

Hi Lui, Love your KZitem videos, you are obviously an expert bartender and very knowledgeable about spirits and how to make cocktails. I especially liked your video on Tequila. I have a small quibble with you about your low ranking of martinis. I suggest the following changes in the way you make it. The Classic Gin Martini: First, both the best London Dry Gin (very important) and the martini glass should be kept in a very cold freezer. Second, the dry vermouth should be poured in the frozen glass, swirled around to coat the inside of the glass, and then dumped out. Third, the extremely cold gin is then poured in to fill the glass, NO ICE SHOULD BE USED. Four, four Juniper berries and both an orange peel and Amalfi lemon peel should be added as garnish. This is an "A" rated Martini version. Lui, please keep your very informative videos coming, all the best. Eric Prentis

I gotta say your description of a martini is spot on. I usually make a dirty martini and it’s not so much because I like the drink but usually that I want an excuse to eat stuffed olives. Sazeracs are the bomb. Another nearly perfect New Orleans drink is the Vieux Carre. I picked up a bottle of Olmeca Altos - Plata for my margaritas based on one of your recs and it has been a game changer.

I know it's all subjective, but was surprised at the martini's D placement! When made with a great gin (like Plymouth or the Botanist) and a great vermouth (I like Dolin), it's a perfect cocktail-S tier for me!

This is a terrific video. I won't argue about the rankings, but there are three cocktails where I agree with your rankings but think the drinks can be adjusted so that they move up a notch or two: Aviation - no more than 1/8 ounce of creme de violette for a three-ounce build and lime juice instead of lemon juice. Manhattan - use a 50% abv whiskey (which you did, I think) and increase the vermouth so that the ratio of whiskey to vermouth is 50-50. Martini - use Lillet Blanc instead of vermouth in a 2:1 ratio (gin to vermouth), and use a lower juniper gin instead of a London dry. All that's from an old man fussing about how to make his Manhattan. ;)

I personally rank an Aviation at S tier, but it has sentimental meaning for me, so there's bias. I wonder if some of the stigma or reason some people avoid an Aviation is because it's a gin-based cocktail. I made a vodka variant that I call an Aviator... it turned out really nice and honestly didn't change much in flavor (lack of juniper from gin doesn't kill this riff -- the mix of lemon juice, Maraschino liqueur, and Creme de Violette still play together nicely). Imma keep that variant in my back pocket in case someone is curious about an Aviation, but is iffy about gin being involved.

Sloppiness while making the cocktails - ice and liquids being spilled - gave a less professional feel to the whole vibe.

I'm fairly new to cocktails. But one which I've just discovered, which I believe is considered a classic, is the Gimlet. I tried it about 4 different times, changing the ratios of the ingredients to make it suit my tastes more. That doesn't mean I didn't like it at first. I loved every variation. So if I were to take your suggestion and say what I think you've missed, the Gimlet would be it.

Nice video. I agree almost completely w/ your ranking. My ideal pisco sour has mosto verde pisco, key lime juice, egg white, and amargo chuncho bitters. Heaven in a glass. Can't stand a martini - don't see the attraction other than showing people that you're "sophisticated". I like the Last Word, but there are many better variants. I love Joaquin Simo's Naked and Famous, but I made one last night that is an instant top tier cocktail for me - it's called Naked in the Desert by Diego Valencia from Tulum, MX. Equal parts sotol, yellow chartreuse, aperol, and lime juice.
