Go to the Recipe: Byrrhgroni Cocktail
One of my fave cocktails except I like to use Carpano Antica for the vermouth, and I prefer it more in a 3-2-1 ratio gin-vermouth-campari with orange bitters/peel. I know 1-1-1 is the "classic", but I've had this drink at several local craft cocktail bars and nobody seems to use that ratio. Never tried Byrrh but a little internet searching and it looks good, will have to try it soon!
Any thoughts on using N2O charges, to do an infusion to order? Maybe instead of using bitters, infusing some citrus and some bittering agents... Or perhaps making a Vermouth as part of the process (or any of the ingredients as they're all pretty much infused spirits in one form or another...) It might add a little vibrancy and sparkle to the drink.Also - recipe in g, but no weighing in the video? Tut tut....
Hi James! Good to see you here.Not sure I'd want to do this "to order" it would slow you down a lot, but if someone can wait five minutes for there drink, then I would say this would work.
Carpano Antica is always in supply at chef steps; one of our go-to's
The recipe calls for the use of a soda siphon, yet both the video and the link to amazon show a whipping siphon - is it six of one/half a dozen of the other, or will better results be obtained with the whipping siphon/pour method than the spray of a soda siphon?

they're the same; whipping or soda is just based on the gas canisters you use
Excellent cocktail. Had several over the holidays.
Can anybody comment on why you must vent the siphon after the 1st CO2 cartridge?
The first cartridge pushes out much of the air. You want to carbonate your drink, which tastes much better (acidic) and is easier to do. Air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, neither of which are very soluble in water, unlike carbon dioxide, and don't taste as good. In contrast, you want to use nitrous oxide for your whipped cream, which is neutral tasting. Isn't kitchen science fun?
