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 cocktail
book published in 1930
called cocktails by jimmy late of
cereals london
this was published here in toronto and
we're going to do a recipe called
the new brunswick it is whiskey lemon
juice and maple syrup
so this is 1930. this recipe
is sort of woven through history using a
bunch of different spirits
all of them whiskeys in 1929
um it's called the revolving door in a
book by judge
junior and in that book he called for
rye so today i'm going to use a canadian
rye whiskey from a local producer just
down the road from us
and so that's two parts for that one
this particular one called the new
brunswick asks for a scotch whiskey
and this is from 1930 and as you
continue
down this recipe goes back and forth
between being called
the maple leaf the abatha a bunch of
different things and it either uses
bourbon scotch whiskey
all of those things next in is one part
lemon juice
a little bit more
and then and of course maple syrup and
you'll notice my maple syrup jug is
almost empty but that's fine
this is what the second week of february
when i'm filming this
and we're maybe a week away from tapping
our trees in the backyard so
take a look for a video of julie and i
making maple syrup in our backyard
coming this spring so once i get the
maple syrup in
both of these get iced
and stirred
okay our coops are
iced and so this
is the one with chivas
and this is the one with dylan's rye
and there's no garnish so there you have
it
hey jules hey glenn hi friends so today
there's two cocktails in front of us
okay um this one technically is the one
that is from this cocktail book it's
called the new brunswick because it's
made with scotch whiskey okay
this one's made with rye so it could be
called the revolving door
but it's made with canadian rye so it
could be called the avedon
you know that's the difference of you
know 30 years and
different cocktail books making
essentially the same cocktail but using
different names for it
okay um so i'll try the one with uh
dylan's rye first
okay i like the dylan's rye let me grab
my better there we go
that tastes familiar that's tastes just
like a recipe
my friend bob who i play hockey with yes
who also
does maple syrup it's it's it's stuck to
the side of our fridge in the kitchen
it's stuck to the side of our fridge
okay so let's switch
okay so i now have this one the dylan's
okay
and i now have the chevus
this one's a little punchier yeah but
still quite lovely
all right a little more to it i prefer
the dylan's i think
to the chevis and of course this
completely changes
with whatever style of whiskey
you want to use there's so many styles
of whiskey i bet it would even change if
you used a different maple syrup because
i'm going to guess you use the dark
maple
i did use the dark maple syrup i would
probably put a little less lemon in it
it is it is lemon heavy um definitely
maybe take some of the lemon out and
some lemon bitters just to kind of
round out the flavor a little bit or to
make it kind of
do we have lemon bitters you could even
make it and just put a couple dashes of
bitters
is that what you're suggesting yeah okay
in lieu of lemon
at all do we have i feel like we need to
whip that up right now
here we go just to try it oh no
we have lime
such a collection of things but we have
orange and lime but no lemon no lemon
well there you go so so much for that
experiment so
i guess i'll look for lemon bitters i
think this is a good cocktail
yeah i think it is and i think i think
if you don't have access to maple syrup
because you're in the deep south
put this with a bourbon and sorghum
whoa that would have a slightly
different flavor but you'd still get
that lovely sweetness get that sweetness
in it and that and
sorghum would also bring that depth that
the maple syrup is kind of adding in the
background and then you could add a
whole new set of names to go with it
completely completely so i think this
would be i think this is good and i
agree with you
dial back the lemon a little bit and
maybe try some lemon bitters
but overall pretty good thank you very
much thanks for stopping by
see you again soon
you
