Jim Beam Rye? Seriously? I mean no shade on Jim Beam but there are far better and authentic Ryes to make a fancy Manhattan that are equivalent cost. And WTF is the point of the perfect ice cubes that come in their own plastic wrapper if you aren't going to use them in the drink?!


mp6521

Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse is always the go-to for a rye cocktail. Also, it looked like did equal parts rye/vermouth? Everything about this sucks.


MjrMalarky

This is definitely rage bait, and I'll admit it definitely triggered me. 1. Using nice cocktail ice for mixing only - so dumb. Plastic waste for no reason. 2. Half pour of the whiskey (sad) 3. EQUAL PARTS vermouth to whiskey (wrong) 4. Mists something over the drink - it's not bitters because he already added them. Absinthe maybe?? 5. Mists into the steam of the pour and not into the glass. The reason to mist something is to aerate it, and he never spritzes it into the glass. He's just wasting whatever that is. 6. Doesn't properly ignite the rosemary the first time - barely any smoke produced. It should char. 7. Uses two different pieces of Rosemary 8. Does not succeed in igniting the Rosemary AT ALL the second time, and just puts it on top of the glass - absolutely terrible garnish (and Manhattan's are supposed to be garnished with cherries anyways) 9. Uses Jim Beam rye - and goes out of his way to show you the bottle. If you're going to use Jim Beam in a cocktail, you should at least be ashamed of it. 10. Also uses cheap sweet vermouth (Case Martelli) - and again goes out of his way to show you the label The farmer who grew that Rosemary would be sad to know it was used for this abomination


fookreddit22

I just don't like his face.


moseph999

“You should at least be ashamed of it” that part sent me lol but I agree


Spacedoc9

Jim Beam deserves all the shade. It tastes like someone pissed in an old gas can.


bailtail

The point is to cool with minimal melting to dilute the booze. But I agree it’s a waste to do all them and then using freakin Jim Beam. And normally the fancy cubes wouldn’t be used in the actual drink.


Puzzled_Internet_986

Why’s he making that face


SnowieEyesight

I think he has major depressive disorder


Bodybuilding-

Those eyes are screaming "tonight's the night I do it"


shortercrust

I think it’s the face of someone who’s thinking “I must look like a proper twat doing this”


PresidentZombie

Going through all that pretentious nonsense just to drink Jim Beam, holy shit.


Index_2080

Yeah the whole spectacle is already pretentious enough, but to serve you fucking Jim Beam really adds insult to injury


OkieBobbie

Just frickin’ make my drink already, it’s been a shitty day and my bullshit tolerance tank is on empty.


DickieMcBalls

But uses individually wrapped ice cubes


Futuramoist

Exactly, it's a pretty normal cocktail it's just being prepared by the worlds most punchable man


Busy_Response_3370

The faces he makes....I've been friends with the people he sleeps with, and they have nothing good to say


Lone-Frequency

Dude has a very punchable face.


Initial_Scarcity_317

Actually Jim Beams Rye offerings are quite tasty for the money. Fun fact, Beam are keepers and distillers of Americans Oldest Continuous Whiskey Label - Old Overholt Rye. You can walk into any liquor store and buy the same brand that Doc Holiday ordered way back when. Or todays approximation of that rye, atleast. But alas, this sort of smells like taking the piss or ragebait. So maybe its intentional.


PickleMinion

I mean sure, nothing wrong with JB. I'd drink that straight any day. But it's almost an insult to the brand to involve it in all this tomfuckery


Yamatoman9

Old Overholt is slept on for cocktails. It's great for the price.


browsereraser

Why is the ice individually wrapped in plastic


Bussamove86

All that pomp and circumstance and he uses fucking Jim Beam.


Elin_Woods_9iron

And short pours by at least an ounce


Unnegative

Jim Beam AND half measures. At least let me get drunk if I need to deal with a pretentious bartender.


MjrMalarky

This is definitely rage bait, and I'll admit it definitely triggered me. 1. Using nice cocktail ice for mixing only - so dumb. Plastic waste for no reason. 2. Half pour of the whiskey (sad) 3.

Also uses cheap sweet vermouth (Case Martelli) - and again goes out of his way to show you the label 10/10 rage bait, almost impossible to make a simple cocktail any worse than this. It's literally 3 ingredients (Rye, Vermouth, Angostura). Total waste of Rosemary. The plastic from that pointless ice is going to strangle a sea turtle in 90 years, and whoever drinks this abomination is responsible.


choochenstein

Nope. Don’t like that.


Kin-The-Red-Wolf

This guy looks like that one guy in high school or college that’s secretly a p€do but everyone knows that so everyone hates him but his parents are rich so the school won’t report him or expel him


Careless_Bandicoot21

this guy creeps me out


Chance_Can1788

Wow that was stupid.


chychy94

That will be $33.


nyepo

$99 + tip, please


kenken528

I hate this. Give me my liquor.

He needs new stupid glasses if he thinks that's good whiskey.

Inkspeaker

Bruised the shit out of that drink.

dkajdas

What the hell is in the spray? Why spray it through the pour if it's just landing in the glass anyways? Why is he a member of the admiralty?


dabiri69

The drinking scene is weird


MisterPhinster

I like how he's not even doing anything note worthy. Just moving his arms around and flicking shit.


Minchaminch

Tbf he does have some flair skills, he's just adding too much douchery.


Nisi-Marie

Can I get a little less smug in my next one? I’m on a diet.


GodonX1r

You know at least the Japanese guy chopped his own ice


JoseMachismo

They didn't even set dude on fire or beat him up at the end. 1:26 of my life wasted.


TastyCakesOverweight

*spits drink out "I ordered this shaken not stirred, could you please remake it"


Shereded

That bartender will ask if he could sleep on your couch. And you will become roommates after. Make you a shitty drink a day and pay you for 1299 a month for a corner in your studio apartment.


surfinforthrills

Just...give me my damn booze.


AggretsukosRage

I’ve never wanted to hit someone so hard in the face until now


Jay-Jay-Rod-Rod

What a smug prick


Hosbo0022

He looks like the douchiest douche to have ever douched.


Balrok99

I dont know if I should be creeped out by him or by the fact that entire waste of time is the main reason this will cost 45$


kimplovely

Pretentious much?


Apprehensive_Rip8403

He’s trying to be like Salt Bae


VadPuma

What a twat


OrganicLindo313

When did Donte DiVincenzo become a bartender?


Voidrunner01

No, I'm sure of it. I hate him.


HarryBossk

I'll bet this guy has a screenshot of this (or the whole video) on his tinder, gets absolutely zero pussy, and complains that girls only go for Chads who mistreat them. Big nice guy energy here


Bushdr78

Did he just spray perfume in that drink?


Relaxitschris

I’m overwhelmed by how cool this guy thinks he is


[deleted]

Jim beam was the shit when I was a young teen lol


finniruse

Did he just put aftershave on the drink? Fancy.


lordfanbelt

Hi, I'm Joey Friendzone, and I'll be your aperitif orchestrator for this evening


malapropter

Pretty terrible wash line in that glass tbh.


Fhoxyd22

Every murrfurr just wanting to be Salt Bae.


smd9788

The way he looks into the camera and smirks is extremely irritating


JackSixxx

Man, that bartender looks like a damn cunt. And f-ing Jim Beam for all that pretentiousness?


Brilliant_Amoeba_272

Salt Bae and his consequences has been a disaster


Spark_Commander

Sir, i ordered a diet coke.


noxvillewy

I want to beat this guy up


dreamgrl_

I refuse to believe this is not a joke


Novel_Durian_1805

Guy…I just want some Red Bull and vodka! I didn’t ask for a show! “Anyways…that will be $30, tip not included”


TrooserTent

What an utter dick


Friendscallmedennis

Too aggressive.


WildDogOne

that was a pretentious shit show, and then he uses a cheap vermouth and a cheap jim beam? no thanks :)


dandle

I'll have another, but you can hold the douche on this one.


Knhyqls

Can we talk about the ratios, 1:1 on vermouth and rye. That’s not a great Manhattan. Going to be super soft.


altruistic_camel_toe

Individual ice in plastic bags? That should be illegal


twiloph

I blame Salt Bae for creating the obnoxious cooks and bartender that borrow his over the top gestures, stupid mimicks and pretentious facial expressions


Trill_McNeal

I really hate how after salt bea became a thing now there’s all these copy cats that dress like dickheads and do all these pretentious movements when they serve or make food. Are people really impressed by this?


MeatCube123

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I like when whiskey isn't too cold. It gets syrupy and coats my throat, and I hate that feeling.


OneBaldingWookiee

I hate everything about this


Pillypin

Always with the stupid glasses.


dandle

Are those glasses fucking Transitions? 😂 Dork


Spicyspoonyluv696

I bet he still thinks he did something till this day here.


TallBobcat

This meat whistle jacks off to the smell of his own shit.


Brilliant-Chapter202

What bar/club/restaurant is this in Manhattan? I want to have a date night there.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

He’s getting so hard to be salt bae it somehow makes him more douchey.


Sans_Snu_Snu

Not the most insane thing in this video, but smoking the glass? I’ve had a smoked manhattan where the rye itself was smoked as the drink was being made. But this just seems like an excuse to set some rosemary on fire.


nemesissi

What a pretentious douche way of making a simple drink.


kryonik

The best Manhattan I ever drank, I didn't even see the bartender make it. Am I doing booze wrong?


Education_Aside

Does anyone else feel like punching this guy in the face?


ShoePolice

I never thought I'd feel rage after watching someone make a classic cocktail but here we are. If that was the intent of the video, they nailed it.


bladzalot

This entire comments section is gold 😂


Key_Climate2486

This makes me hate life.


Meatwagon1978

Fuckin shower of cunts


fidojr

Ok that’ll be $90


ChefArtorias

As someone who loves a manhattan I don't even know where to start with this lol the thumbnail gave it away with the backhanded jigger grip while holding a bottle of Beam


SuperRusso

Jesus that should have taken 15 seconds.


Great_White_Samurai

At least use some Dad's Hat rye


Rdt_will_eat_itself

The face acne and the 18 year old porn stash makes this cocktail look extra.


Stoweboard3r

That’ll be $140 bucks:)


ZuStorm93

This guy oozes alpha douchebag energy. I dunno why but that face and those hand gestures makes me think that bottles are gonna break and chairs gonna start flyin around to show y'all how we do what we did ~ I'd rather be entertained by that Japanese bartender with the tanto skills or those Indian drink stall freestylers than this guy...


cheezzypiizza

He looks like the Xanax dealer of any white trash neighborhood that only has a job because his uncle is the fry cook.


RubiiGeee

Imagine doing all this extra shit at a family get together 😹🤣


Acceptable_Mountain5

What is this? Crushed ice?! Do you have any idea what this does to the surface density of the liquid?!?


ClubZen

That lil smirk when he catches it behind his back like nobody’s ever done that before…


RubiiGeee

That extra spritz of WTF will be an extra $100, sir


GreazyFarklebox

I'll say something nice about this dumb drink - he's smooth with it I'll give him that, that little behind the back catch of the bitters was clean


I-am-not-gay-

Bro, I did not ask for a show for some shitty drink, just let me drink it!


MostlyApe

Is that Snow or MC Serch's kid?


Honshu_

This is just obnoxious.. and Jim beam? Really? Lol


SocialAnchovy

Those ice cubes were amazing.


ladyorthetiger0

Does examining the ice make it taste better? If he found an imperfection in a cube of ice would he discard it and get a new one?


Spurnout

I dislike everything about this.


Elgecko123

What a fucking amateur, stirring like that obviously bruises the ice! Drink ruined


Irving_Velociraptor

Ugh. I don’t even want it now.


dasic___

Served by the dude with the most punchable face on the planet.


shredditor75

I am completely convinced that showmanship like this is for people 21-23 who are just starting to drink and want to feel like adults. Adults are just trying to forget their mortgages.


Cookies_and_Beandip

If the waters wet that’s how you know it’s water


Cosmicpsych

At least use a higher quality rye wtf


BionicTriforce

There's an episode of The Simpsons where Bart becomes a bartender for the mafia and he apparently 'makes an excellent Manhattan'. Something one of the other mafia members sucks at doing. I always wondered how it was possible to make a bad Manhattan, since it's literally three ingredients, not including the cherry garnish. Plus Bart did it right from a recipe book.


Billski66

Jim Beam r u effin kidding me! Pretentious D-Bag making a Manhatten with that sh#t! Acting like it’s the best rye out there! 🤦‍♂️


TacticalTapir

What's the point of using rosemary smoke if you just give it all that time to escape before putting anything in the glass. At least pretend that it works. Lol


JohnDoeSmith186

I mean I'd deffinetly drink that


OGbobbyjohnson323

Your saying I can have one of these including all those stupid faces this douche makes in the process? I’ll take 2 plz


nau_lonnais

And here I am crotching a tall can while I fish.


NightmareGorilla

this is truly stupid and pretentious, the overly showy bs here is quite something


krayhayft

I hate all these extra "fancy" steps when making foods. It's stupid and highly annoying


Mystical_Cat

Can’t watch this toolbag.


jacaissie

I was defending the guy who cut the ice into a gem shape and lit the bar on fire, but this is just pretentious for the sake of pretension. This guy is giving me Nazi scientist vibes, too, which is hard to do by accident.


simondrawer

As soon as I saw him I thought this is the Salt Bae of shit drinks.


wuhwuhduh

Bro doesn’t even fill the shots all the way. I’d feel cheated just from the that alone.


glassfeathers

He looks like the adult version of that kid from the Disney vampire movie. [The Little Vampire](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e0/The_Little_Vampire_%28film%29.jpg)


Public_Cold_2144

Did he pray the pour with absinth or something? Impressively stupid.


sweaterbuckets

I'm getting hints of turkish baklava out of this.


BernieTheDachshund

So he just throws away those 2 fancy cubes of ice? Seems unnecessarily wasteful.


Jamaal_Lannister

It’s like a Walmart version of SaltBae


little_stereo

He looks like he’s trying to do a magic trick


Neonhippy

The random flicks tho..............................


Guilty-Nobody998

This guy is way too impressed with himself.


FiveMileDammit

Goddammit this reminds me of a tiki bar on the riverwalk in san antonio that does similar. douchey, but less rich douche and more hipster service worker culture douche, with an assortment of "smoked" drinks that all taste like shit.


kknxia

Dude is making absolute bank, look at those rimless glasses, no way he's not pulling in top dollar with those frames and lenses wtf.


CrossFox42

OK. My restaurant does some pretty cool shit with cocktails. We've won awards for them before. And if I showed my bar manager this, she'd likely try to find this guy to punch him in the face. The smug, arrogant look on his face as he not only makes a shitty Manhattan, but the showmanship of someone who just learned you can spin a bottle in your hand and thinks they're hot shit. If you go to a cocktail bar and see this kind of crap, turn around and leave because they are charging you double for what their cocktails should be worth. An expensive cocktail should be expensive for the ingredients and time that goes into preping them, not because some douchbag waves smoke and mirrors around trying to be cool.


Brofromtheabyss

Tell me you’re making a manhattan in Europe without telling me you’re making a manhattan in Europe. Same as me trying to make a Haggis, I’m just never going to get it 100% the way a Scot who’s eaten dozens of them would. It takes a certain familiarity with local traditions to know that Jim Beam Rye is entry level trash or that the big rock goes *in* the drink, and for a manhattan cube size really only influences how much the drink is watered down as it’s stirred since it’s strained anyway.


Kappapeachie

i'm five, can anyone explain to me why it's dumb?


uncletutchee

What does he spray on it at the end?


xXxllamallamaduckxXx

I'd prefer he call me a slur than do anything like that in front of me


sheezy520

I like the Japanese guy better.


WingsOfIndifference

Why does he flick every fucking thing he touches? Dude must be a nightmare in bed.


happykingbilly

All of that bs to make a Manhattan with worst rye on the market. This is very stupid indeed.


ImprovisedLeaflet

Everybody ITT getting angry. I am 99% sure this is satire. Is it not?


Jumico

All that pomp and circumstance and he uses friggin Jim Beam? What a disgrace


Takonite

1) Jim bean, seriously? 2) the flicking of the tag on the wine was the cringiest part 3) don't use the large expensive ice for the mixing part


JeddakofThark

It *must* be a joke. I refuse to believe that this person is serious. There is simply no way someone this delusional is allowed to function without people throwing things at him.
