1931 Brut Cocktail Recipe - Cocktails After Dark - Glen And Friends.This Prohibition Era Cocktail comes from the Old Waldorf Bar Days cocktail book by Albert Stevens Crockett. The Brut Cocktail can be found in multiple cocktail books from the 1930s and in each case the formula is more or less the same. It is one of those Prohibition cocktails that is hard to reproduce because one of the ingredients (common in the 1930s) has fallen out of favour and in fact wasn't made at all for 75 years or so - Calisaya is that ingredient. So what is Calisaya Liqueur; it is a number of botanicals and citrus steeped in a neutral grain spirit and then sweetened. The main flavour components are bitter orange and cinchona bark; giving it a very bitter taste. In fact the farther back you go in the cocktail books that we own - Calisaya is used in cocktails as we would use orange bitters today; just a few dashes.1931 Brut Cocktail:Two dashes orange bittersOne-half French VermouthOne-half CalisayaOne dash AbsintheFrappéSo if you are just starting out on your road to being an educated barfly, getting behind the bar for the first time, and learning how to drink and become a bartender, follow along with cocktails after dark.0:00 Cocktails After Dark Brut cocktail recipe0:15 What is the Old Waldorf Bar Days Cocktail recipe book0:50 What's in a Brut cocktail2:00 What does it mean to Frappe a cocktail3:38 Tasting a Brut cocktail4:30 What is Calisaya Liqueur5:06 Review taste test of Calisaya Liqueur#LeGourmetTV #GlenAndFriendsCooking #CocktailsAfterDarkGlen & Friends Cooking,recipe,cocktails after dark,cooking with glen,glen cooking,prohibition cocktails,steve the barman,prohibition era cocktails,prohibition cocktail,cocktail inspiration,calisaya,calisaya cocktails,calisaya liqueur review,htd,the educated barfly,behind the bar,steve the bartender,david wondrich,absinthe cocktail recipes,how to make cocktails
