Show description What can I say about this episode? Well… I am joined by “Americas Bartender” Charles Joly. Charles is the only American bartender to have won Diageo World Class and has been serving his cocktails at the Grammys and Emmys among many more epic events for many years. Charles is a global bartending champion, James Beard Award winning beverage designer, and takes guest experience to a whole new level. I could go on for days on this guy; but I think the most compelling thing, as it pertains to this episode, is that he created the metal smokebox you see at many bars today, and he is going to show u how to use it.

Show description This episode of MYG was completely based off an impulse visit to a place called the ice plant. As I was visiting Saint Augustine Florida which was the first settlement in America, With My friend Armando Rosario we happen to drive by this place called the ice plant In a historical building. Since the history of ice is so important to the American cocktail I was very intrigued. So I had to stop to see what’s going on. I learned that area of the building that was born in 1928 It was an ice factory and they made ice for both the local people and those afar thanks to the train tracks that used to come between the building and the water. Also used for the fisherman to keep their fish fresh. *********************************** Alpaca in the Wolves Dream 1.5 oz. (45ml) Chawar Blanco .5 oz. (15ml) Amaro Meletti .5 oz.

Replayed by Charles Berthoud exclusively for Master Your Glass: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAi_uNeDWRXj8C8yw358gWw ************************************** The history of the Angelo Azzurro The story of the Blue Angel, the Italian party cocktail of the 1990’s and 2000’s drunk while the speakers pumped house music, has remained practically obscure until recently. Let's say that no one had really wondered if that drink had a real story. What is the cocktail symbol for us of the discos together with the "B52 cocktail" was actually born as a symbolic drink of the first Roman LGBTQ+ evenings made in small clubs. After months of research Alessandro Barbero, was able to trace its origins. Its name (Blu Angel) refers to the fact that it "makes you fly". The cocktail was created in the 1980s as a symbolic drink of the first Roman LGBTQ+ evenings made in small clubs and its creator is Giovanni Pepè aka "Mammina". The Angelo Azzurro is a Roman cocktail of a Rome no longer in the Dolce Vita era, and in the mood for sexual freedom, subcultures and crazy parties. To quote the creator: "My name is Giovanni Pepè and Mammina is how some friends started calling me after the military. When I arrived in Rome from the province of Naples that name remained." Mammina was one of the first known bartenders in the capital. He worked behind the counter of the Alibi, at the time LGBTQ+ disco club, in the first LGBTQ+ neighborhoods and at the Angelo Azzurro Club, in fact. He is now 69 years old. The Angelo Azzurro club, in the middle of Trastevere area, no longer exists today. In its place a few years ago came a vampire-themed place, then that also closed. "I invented the Angelo Azzurro cocktail for the opening of the restaurant in 1980," Mammina quotes. It was intended to be the pool-colored symbol of one of the first LGBTQ+ venues. ************************************** #Italiancocktail #Bluedrink #Angelococktail

On this episode of MYG I make a Nutella Cocktail. Nutella was my favorite teat growing up. In preparing for this show I learned that if I emulsify the Nutella by using egg whites it mixes beautifully. ************************************** Nutella Cocktail 1 Egg White 1 Heaping Tablespoon of Nutella 1.5 oz (45ml) VSOP Cognac .5 oz (15ml) White Crème de Menthe (I mistakenly said Crème de Cocoa on the Video) 4 Mint Leaves Method: Start by chilling a cocktail coupe. Add all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker without ice and shake for roughly 15 seconds. Then add ice into the shaker and shake again for roughly 15 seconds. With the use of a Mesh strainer fine strain into the chilled Coupe. Garnish with a Mint leaf. The idea to emulsify the Nutella came from this video posted on the Chicago Reader YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/a4s6puiZCuY ************************************** Links to Barware and Ingredients I used: Boston Shaker Tin by Modern Mixologist https://amzn.to/2OSJQM7 Libby Mixing Glass https://amzn.to/3xKuURL Stainless Steel Bar Spoon https://amzn.to/3z4XGwC Japanese Style Jigger 1oz/2oz - Stainless Steel https://amzn.to/3Bbrbie Fine Mesh Strainer: https://amzn.to/3khKYmB Hawthorne Strainer by Modern Mixologist https://amzn.to/3dvvV8T Please note that the Amazon Store and all the Amazon Links provided are affiliate links that pays us a small commission of each sale (at no additional cost to you).

On this episode of MYG I paid a visit to a local grocery store and a liquor store to find items available across the country in almost any store. I looked for white spirits (Gin, Vodka, Tequila, Rum) that were under $20 and respected brands. For brown spirits (Brandy, Bourbon, Blended Scotch) I upped the budget to Maximum $30 for the whisky and $35 for the Brandy; and Liqueurs to maximum $25. This video is NOT sponsored, I picked by using my experience and likings. Happy and safe holidays! ************************************** Lunazul Blanco Tequila - 100% Agave ($18.49) One of the best bargain brands with some earthy and creamy roast agave notes. Excellent for mixing! Bombay Dry Gin ($17.99) An excellent, well-balanced gin. It is sturdy enough to stand up to mixing and refined enough to shine in a classic Martini. SKYY Vodka ($16.49) A clean vodka with soft peppery heat; perfect for any cocktail and smooth enough to drink on the rocks. Beautiful new package! Stoli Vodka ($14.99) Round and sweet initially and finishes spicy and crisp with a bittersweet ending. A solid vodka to drink especially if you prefer robust and not totally neutral vodkas. Mount Gay Eclispe Rum ($19.99) This is a basic rum with a good balance of spices. Balanced, and slightly oaky. In my opinion this is the best rum you can find in a poorly-stocked grocery store. The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky ($22.99) This Scotch is delicious and so underrated in North America. It’s quite affordable for both sipping and mixing; it’s an ideal bottle to bring to parties. Wild Turkey 101 ($27.49) The Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon expression is by far the most recognizable that Wild Turkey distills. This is a highly-respected distillery and a highly relevant brand in the Bourbon world. Ciroc VS Brandy ($34.99) This French brandy is light and smooth. Great to sip or to mix and affordable to buy. Disaronno Amaretto Liqueur ($22.99) A solid liqueur with rich, bold flavor that makes for a great after-dinner or a modifier in cocktails, adding an extra and often unexpected layer of flavor and texture. ************************************** @00:00 Intro @00:20 My thought process @00:25 Tequila Lunazul Blanco ($18.49) @00:50 Bombay Dry Gin ($17.99) @1:14 SKYY Vodka ($16.49) @1:43 Stoli Vodka ($14.99) @02:11 Mount Gay Eclispe Rum ($19.99) @02:47 The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky ($22.99) @03:10 Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon ($27.49) @03:42 Ciroc VS Brandy ($34.99) @04:15 Disaronno Amaretto Liqueur ($22.99) @04:50 Closing Remarks ************************************** Please Give Us a “Like” and Subscribe to Master Your Glass: YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/c/masteryourglass INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/masteryourglass FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/masteryourglass OUR WEBSITE: https://www.MasterYourGlass.com ************************************** Theme Music “La Tarantella”.
