Welcome Friends welcome back to the
kitchen welcome back to cocktails after
dark today we're going to do another
cocktail out of this little brown book
just simply called drinks published in
1914 by Jacques Straub and we're going
to do a cocktail called the Irving
and it uses dry gin calcet and French
vermouth I'm going to do two different
dried Gins a dry gin that you know Julie
and I really like from Dylan's and this
one is from a small distillery in Quebec
so we're going to start out we'll make
the one with the Dillons so half [ __ ]
of gin
three quarters of a [ __ ] of calcium
and the same of the French vermouth and
now we'll mix the same cocktail just
with a different gin
this one is called Madison Park premium
London dry gin I believe it's made in
Montreal but we'll look at that in a
little bit and then the calcium this is
an orange
flavored liqueur or an orange type
liqueur and French vermouth you could
use any dry white vermouth I would
imagine and before I ice
it gets a slice of Orange
[Music]
hey Glenn hey friends so what do we have
today something orangey the Irving
amazing yes
um it has calcet which is an orange
liqueur or liqueur with oranges it also
has a slice of orange in when you shake
it
gin gin I'm always in virgin Dylan's
Madison Park oh very nice okay okay
interesting
I like that one it's okay I mean it's
it's citrusy
hmm
foreign
can anyone tell me
can anyone I guess is that is that for
me or is that for all these friends over
all those people out there can anyone
tell me has Dylan's changed the
formulation of their dry gin made with
Rye because they changed the name
so to speak like they changed the label
they change the are you concerned well
we had one that was a very early batch
I'm going to say sub 10. you know
finish the bottle toss the bottle bought
a new bottle
and now I'm wishing I had kept the
bottle to look at it I think they've
changed the formulation and this one now
says that there's Oak in it you don't
remember Oakland before I don't remember
Oak from before and the flavor seems to
have changed a little bit okay so this
seems like a project for Glenn to call
them and ask just straight up ask yeah
because you know I should I mean
especially since
the bottle we did have which was a
slight which was a different name yeah
yeah right and so it could be that
it could be that we bought this and
we're waiting for the next batch of the
one that we really like and it just
isn't there yet and there I don't know
so I should figure that out because I'm
not as fond of it anymore
both of these having said this one is
batch five that's batch in Madison Park
out of Montreal so I was expecting a
little more from from this cocktail
I'm gonna do something why so
I mean it's a citrusy gin flavored
coffee there's no extracting something
more there's no I yes
it tastes flat to me okay
yes my vermouth is brand new I just
cracked the seal so it is really brand
new I mean look at that this is what
don't you know first two ounces out of
it
oh
you're only gonna put two in that one
because it's the concentration
I have lots of swirl space but go ahead
cross-contaminated there but anyway
okay
no still not for me
I think the orange flavor is kind of
lacking
I think the orange flavor is lacking to
me the orange flavor is lacking yeah
the Gin flavor completely dies in here
and it just becomes like mud like
there's no there's no one flavor that's
coming out they're all sort of
struggling and fighting each other and
one isn't this one I'm getting gin
flavor
but
oh wait
that is the dylans is that the no you
told me this one was the Montreal yeah
no no I think this was always on the
right and that's the first one so that
is the Dylan we're in trouble so we're
gonna have to go back and look at the
footage and figure it out they're
laughing at us because they just watched
it all and yes that is the Dylan's
because that's the one I mixed first so
I understand telling you through the
screen Glenn you're an idiot that's not
the right one Glenn no so that is the
dylans and I am getting gin flavor I'm
not getting any gin flavor from this but
it's still muted muddy not really
anything well and then having smelled
both of these earlier because I was
curious yeah uh
this one definitely has a stronger
gin smell to it
this is still a lovely gin but it is not
as uh bold as this one it's not as
Botanical forward is it
look at you
yeah no it's not as Botanical forward
the acid phosphate helped a little bit
okay so the Irving cocktail
um it's not a cocktail that I found
moving forward
and then it just went away
all right then so oh well yeah give them
a try not really our thing thanks for
stopping by and we'll see you again soon
very enthusiastic give it a try yeah
give it a try
I think it might be the orange
no no the orange had good flavor I
enjoyed the orange inside with piece I
had
