Classic Cocktails For New Year's Eve | Martini, Rob Roy, Highball | NYE Cocktail Recipes

About this video

Sacawa demonstrates how to prepare three classic cocktails suitable for New Year’s Eve celebrations, inspired by The Thin Man movies. He shares his personal preferences for ingredients and proportions for a martini, Rob Roy, and a holiday highball, explaining the reasoning behind each choice.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa recommends a two-to-one gin-to-vermouth ratio for a martini, using Bombay Sapphire gin and French vermouth like Dolin, as he argues this balance is superior to modern or historical variations
• For a Rob Roy, Sacawa uses blended scotch (specifically Chivas) with sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica) and orange bitters, favoring a slightly spirit-forward proportion of two ounces scotch to three-quarters ounce vermouth
• Sacawa suggests that cocktail preferences are matters of personal taste, and he encourages viewers to experiment with different spirits and proportions to find what works best for them
