New Orleans Best Cocktails: The Lemon Drop

[jhiller21]

This guy is awesome, but I wouldn't want to be the guy who cleans the bar when it closes. Dude makes a fucking mess...

[SalamanderTalent]

Chris is the best bartender in the world. A+++++++++

[weeknightingale]

Nice!

[Polevaultnerd08]

I love this! thanks1

[gnomie22]

Single strain when serving straight up? ..yuck!

..and why bother making anything with vodka. It is a crap tasteless spirit.

[zfair3850]

@gnomie22 its only taste less when its over distilled.

@gnomie22

1. The lemon squeezer he used extracts juice only, so there won't be any pulp in the drink.

2. Vodka is tasteless, yes, so that makes it an ideal base spirit for cocktails - you gotta make sure the other ingredients taste great and are perfectly balanced.

3. I've copied this guy's recipe for the Lemon Drop hundreds of times and I love it. It's simple, smooth, very refreshing but still packs a reasonable punch. Highly recommended. Give that sh*t a try.

Nice comment posted about dropping the lemon. This guy should be fired because he's an embarrassment of the establishment called The Great New orleans Bartenders. HA! Die! Really? Loser!

[POIUYBLUE]

Did he just drop the knife on the floor and then use it to cut the lemon? Gross! He also says, ah, way too much. Check out, Cocktails in 60 seconds or less. There you'll see a GREAT Lemon Drop recipe.

@POIUYBLUE you're a fucking idiot. He dropped the lemon, not the knife. Plus he's making these drinks for demonstration, not for actual paying customers. Shut the fuck up and die.

@N1GSMOKEAC1G

Actually from what I saw he dropped the knife, but I agree with you - it's for demo not for a paying customer so no harm no foul.

the brandy alexander is my favorite cocktail of all time, brandy is my favorite spirit, always been.

[POIUYBLUE]

@YearraeY Yeah and bartenders hate it when they see you walk in the door! GREAT! Here comes the Brandy Alexander broad again!

[Noir30]

I so want to marry this man! he's fantastic, charming and knows ooodles!!!

I want him at all my parties!

[lobzdik]

so basically a vodka sour?

i see a lot of cocktails consist of a base spirit plus a sour mix and are just served a little differently (ie over ice, or in a martini glass, garnish etc)

am i right?

[Benthetenor]

Yes, it's called drink families., but always use fresh juice, never sour mix. It makes a huge difference in taste.
