It is true that this technique survived in BOADAS Barcelona, but at least in South America was called "a la Cubana" that mean Cuban style, or Cuba way.
Mr Boadas, learned his trade as a barman in Cuba. In the" El Floridita" the owner's Constantino Ribailagua was Catalan, like Miguel Boadas.
Miguel opened his bar in Barcelona ,in the image of the Cuban bar where he learned his craft.
At least in my country, Argentina.
This technique survived until the 70's. The old bartenders used to use in the summer to make it very cold drinks, but with less water than a shaken cocktail.
The video is very cute, and I'll put this recipe on my blackboard tonight.
Will notify Of course, the cocktail is a creation of Miss Charlotte Voisey.

Thanks Mike S. for the Explanation.
I'll try ton find a bottle of Cocchi Americano .
But I think that bottle like many other is not available in my part of the work.
Chers!

perhaps a mistake of the old bartender from Argentina,
But here is always cocktail made with crème de menthe green.
It is also a reality that never saw a bottle of creme de menthe from another class (white or transparent). I my city.
Many serve this cocktail over crushed ice here "frappe"in the same way you usually drink, mint liqueur in argentina.
I'll try one soon thank you very much
Here in Argentina, no one asks for a Manhattan shaken,
I guess maybe some people prefer them shaken, shaken because it is easier to drink.
In my expierence Only Amreican tourists drink this kind of cocktails shaken.
But everyone has their tastes-
I prefer my Manhattan stirred with vermotuh Cinzano.
By the way Robert, your technique to stirr improved much since the first videos I saw here.
Congratulations.
I got your book and find it fantastic,
Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us.
Greetings from Argentina
Kathy,
very good this variation of the Manhattan cocktail recipe.
It was a bit difficult to get the "luster dust".
But it got, so that Christmas Eve, my family will drink this cocktail.
Thank you very much.
Greetings from the far south.
Federico, from Buenos Aires
I have that cocktail on my menu!
When I was Barback, the head bartender, taught me this recipe.
My first job in a bar was in a golf club, so were preparing several, old drinks.
Thanks for spreading the good cocktail always Mr. Robert.
Greetings from Argentina.
Bijou cocktail recipe, is present in many South American books, the first half of the 20.
El cocktelero argentino(1921) by Sociedad de Cockteleros
Manual del barman (1924) by Antonio Fernandez
the book of Antonio, says that the cocktail is 3 gems.
Diamonds (gin)
Emerald (green Chartreuse)
Ruby (vermouth torino)
Antonio was the first bartender to found a school in my country
Gretting from argentina
Robert, This cocktail is delicious.
Yesterday I prepare this cocktail in a party, in which we celebrate the DIA DEL BARMAN(bartender's day), celebrated in my country, Argentina, April 15
Thanks for the recipe
I agree with the guys before me,if you stir a cocktail you should do so in a Mixing glass.
But I have a question...the 007 martini ...is Shaken not stirred isn't it?
Robert you're right the tin or the mixing glass do not change the essence of the drink.
And Shawn made a great job, clean, fast and smiling
Thanks for the information, I always thougt this drink was shaken.
I prefer all my martinis stirred.
007 only knows about guns and adventures I suppose.

Contrieau and French brandy or Congnac are the way to the real Side Car. When I started to work as a bartender, my first teacher said "Federico, you have to use Cointreau or Grand Marnier to prepare the classic cocktails, because using cheap Triple Sec ruins/destroys cocktails". The other thing this old man taught me was the difference between a good cocktail and a bad cocktail is only a lazy bartender. Fresh lemon, orange and lime juices aren't that hard to make, but they're difficult to find in a regular bar.
your way to serve a Martini cocktail, it seems great.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Federico, I'm a bartender in Buenos Aires. Argentina
I hadn`t tried a Saratoga before , I found the cocktail Delicious.

I'll add The Saratoga to the blackboard of my bar tonight.
