Sazerac Cocktail - The Cocktail Spirit with Robert Hess - Small Screen

I just mix that shit in my mouth

For one WS member to another --- Great job Bob !!!! BTW Your Book "The Essential Bartender's Guide" is awesome as well ---

60 seconds of intro. waaaaaaay too long.

skip 2:53

That's a sweet NASA glass, not gonna lie.

dont listen to people saying too much intro. just showing whats in the drink is boring. Give us some history! Keep it up

the history is good. you can't distinguish yourself by just pouring, shaking, and then straining a drink. Anyone can do that. the history is the acknowledgement and the appreciation.

Robert Hess, what a hero, always loving the history.

I would love to drink at his bar...drink and learn some interesting stuff

It's been too long since a Robert Hess video

We agree, cnote1239! New episodes are coming soon so stay tuned. Thank you for watching! Small Screen

SSN you need to make a playlist of absolute must know drinks for barstaff (Old fashioned, Martini, Sour, Manhattan). I was in a hotel bar the other day and my "Old Fashioned" was crushed sugar cubes with some lemonade to dissolve them. Some crushed lemon pieces and makers mark. I cried with the waste of liquor. I then had to ask for bitters!

This sounds like a very sad experience, Radders123. Sorry you had to endure it. Great suggestion as well. We will see what we can do. Thank you for watching! Small Screen

Small Screen has received 7 nominations at this year's Taste Awards! Thank you for all your support!

I was wondering: would it be a good idea to experiment, and try to make a Sazerac with Metaxa? (A Greek brandy with some floral, rosy notes to it)

Nice NASA logo on the serving glass. Houston, we have a sazerac!

I've spent the last 10 minutes going back and forth between different Robert Hess videos trying to figure out how this could possibly all be the same person. Oh snap

when in doubt, pull out

Pernod is an ok substitute? Absinthe is too expensive and Herbsaint isn't exported at least in NYC.

Were you planning on taking that Sazerac to space?

Can I use the Pernod anisette or do I do I have to drop upwards of 75$ on pernods ABSINTHE if all I am doing is making sazeracs ???

The bob Ross of cocktails :)

Had my first sazerac last weekend. They served it to me in a glass with a ton of ice however i still enjoyed it. Probably my new favorite drink

I love this guy. Haven’t seen him in a long time - I wonder what his take would be on this post-craft cocktail era

On the back of the bottle of Peychaud's Bitters, it says that Antoine Peychaud started putting his bitters into Cognac much to the delight of his customers. I guess there are many stories about how the Sazerac was invented, but since there appears to be 2 versions in at least some New Orleans bartenders recipes, one is Cognac based and one is Rye Whiskey, I suppose it all depends on whose version you believe.

Wonderful presentation and explanation! I don’t know how you resist taking a sip of it though!
