4 MUST have fall cocktails | Johnny Drinks

Yes, sir. Fall is officially two days away. That's why I got my sweater on. Well, why don't you make us your top three favorite fall cocktails. I'm going to do one better, and I'm going to make you four fall cocktails. But before you do that, make sure you subscribe to the channel below. That sounds good. All right, everybody, here are the top four fall cocktails. First one up is going to be the Bora Berry. There's something that I prepped here, and I want to see how good your palate is. So in here is a simple syrup. How do you make simple syrup? It's sugar and water. Right. And without that, you cannot have a simple syrup. So I want you to taste that. Tell me what you think it is. That is a peppercorn simple syrup. So what I did was I crushed peppercorns, water, and sugar, and I prepped it, and it's cooled down. So now I can use this. I'm just going to use a little bit of the peppercorn syrup. All right, simple syrup. That's enough. Cut that lemon for me. So right in here, I'm going to use a raspberry puree. Okay. Just to save some time with the raspberry puree. That's going to make it really sweet. I'm going to use some blackberry fruit. All right. I'm going to use this jam in here a little bit. All right. Right inside. Put a lemon in here. All right. Okay. That's a big lemon. Well, half a lemon's good. You like bourbon? I like that bourbon. Balls of time of year for the bourbon. And I have some ice. There we go. All right. Good. I'm going to use a single rock cube. Ready, Johnny? Ready. Okay. Hold on. Not done yet. That is not done yet. Now, I'm going to garnish this with a little basil. All right. Basically, I'm using everything that I have in my kitchen right now because we're going to make pesto later. So I'm going to use some basil. This is going to sit in there nicely. And I have, see this fruit? These have been sitting in wine. This has been marinating. So these are drunken blackberries. And, well, why not add them to the party? There you go. How about it? You know what? That might be one of the best cocktails you've made. Serious? Yeah, that's really good. Let me get some of that. Yeah, that is good. Wow. Boy, take the pepper. Yeah, that's really good. Cheers. Drink number two is going to be apple martini. I'm going to take a little piece of my apple. And I'm going to dress up the rim. A little cinnamon and sugar. So now we have cinnamon. Grate some of it into this. Put this down. Get this out of the way for a second. All right. Now let's make the cocktail. Put some apple cider in here. A couple ounces of apple cider. Green apple vodka. So I'm going to put some vodka inside. That's going to give us the, obviously, the alcohol component. And I'm just going to put some ice in here. Not done yet. Going to put that sugar and that cinnamon right on there. This is multi-purpose. Obviously, we smoke our glasses with this. And we can do creme brulee. We could do, in this case, the apple. Look at this. Look at that. See what's happening? You almost burnt your finger. Well, no. When you're a professional, you don't burn your finger. Now I'm going to lay it right in there. Hmm, maybe I did burn my finger. I saw you burn your finger. No, I didn't burn my finger. If I burn my finger, I wear this green. That's awesome. Vodka, flavored vodka, apple cider. Rimmed the glass. Did a little something there with the apple on top. Ooh. Tricked it up. That's probably like almost like a candy apple. It's like a candy apple. Cheers. Can I have some of that, too? Can I sip it? Can I taste it? And the third drink of the day is going to be apple butter old-fashioned. This drink is made right in the glass. All right, so you can get this at any supermarket. Apple butter. All right, we're going to take some lemon. All right, so I got about a quarter of a lemon in there, which is plenty. Some bitters. Orange bitters. A couple dashes. There you go. Just going to mix this up. Ooh. Right? This becomes the roux. Okay? In the bottom. I'm going to taste that. Comes with a train. Come on. No. Ready? Here it comes. All right. Apple cider. Ooh. Right in the glass. And then we're going to cut the sweetness with Johnny Drinks bourbon. Okay, a couple ounces of that in here. Going to ice it up. And I'm going to top it off. This is a dehydrated piece of lemon. Cheers. Apple butter, old-fashioned. Is it? I'm not saying it like I don't know. Maybe a little cinnamon would have helped out. I'm not saying it like I don't know. And our fourth fall cocktail of the day is going to be... A smoky cider mezcal margarita. We're going to use... This is a high-end mezcal. I really enjoy it, so I'm going to use it. You don't have to go this high. You can go a little lower if you want. Use orange liqueur, Grand Marnier, Cointreau. A little bit on top. We have some apple cider. This is going to sweeten this up. Nice. All right, ice her up. Ooh, I can smell that. You can smell that from here. Smell it from here. Right? Smoky. Solid cube. I'm going to put this in here. And then we're going to, on top, we're going to smoke it. I'm going to smoke this, and we're going to garnish it. All right, so we have our smoking kit. Put that on top. We have our fuel. Goes right into the basket here. All right, just the tip goes into the basket. And then we cover it on top. Perfect. Put that right in there. And let's try this again. Oh, baby. Into the glass we go. Ooh, wow, that smells awesome. Apple cider mezcal margarita. Bring it over here. Good job. That is good. That's great. I mean, we're four for four. Good job today. Cheers to that. Well, enjoy your fall. Try one of these cocktails. If you like them, make them for friends. If you don't like them, well then just don't make it. Make something else. That's it. Cheers.
