Started with Steve, found Vlad along the way, and ended here. I don’t think I need any more cocktail knowledge than this amazing trio can provide. All three are excellent channels and provide their own flavour in presentation. Well done 👍

[@gintonic5770]

I think I first stumbled upon this channel, when I was looking on how to make a Negroni. I just got recently interested into making Cocktails by watching a rundown of the 50 Classic Cocktails by Epicurious. I must say, I have seen a few videos on Cocktails, but once I came here it kinda stuck with me. Wether it's the magnificent production quality, the helpful tips on how to make certain ingredients (like syrups and such) and most definitely your charming presentation style, I really like it here! :3 A big thanks to you, Cara, Josh and everyone involved in this channel. You all have truly created a "safe space" for all things booze and the history of it (at least for me :)).

1. Thanks for the Bloody Mary! It looks delicious. Looking forward to its own dedicated video. 2. Always nice to hear the proper pronunciation of Worcester Sauce. ;-) 3. Favourite moment: when you take out Thor's hammer to bash the ice. Come to think of it, "Hammer on Ice" sounds like a good name for a strong, boozy cocktail! I sincerely hope one day you'll get to a million subscribers (and more). Totally deserved. Cheers, and thank you.

[@meditapolis]

Hi! Big Fan from Spain here! I’ve realized that you use some Spanish drinks and brands. I love Expresso Martini and other Coffee-related cocktails, and I always make them with Spanish Coffee Liqueur (called Licor de Café). It’s slightly different from the usual Kahlua and I trully recommend it if you have the chance!

[@BehindtheBar]

I’ll have to see if we can get it here!

[@baileywatts1304]

[@BehindtheBar]

Totally!

[@jeffshafer5336]

Love the channel (and many of the ones you’ve mentioned. Would love to come to Bomba, so I hope the restrictions and border closures end soon. One question- do you taste each drink when you’re at the bar? I just wonder if the alcohol would start to affect you...

[@BehindtheBar]

I do! Tasting is really important especially in a busy service in case you forget something/accidentally put the wrong ingredient in etc when everything is moving quickly. I don’t think it’s enough to have an actual effect but if you were driving home it’d be worth double checking I guess!

[@aadiritz]

Great video! In case anyone wants to see the Tipsy Bartender vid, it’s still showing up at facebook(found it using search). Very pretty! I found the TB via FB and think he’s fun to watch but overall Steve, Greg and you have more informative videos. Tipsy really is his own thing compared to most other channels 😄

After you and Steve teased me with the Espresso martini I gave in and ordered a Mr Black. Love this drink! I wonder about the espresso though, is that substitutable with regular coffee?

[@BehindtheBar]

To get the proper foamy head you do need the crema from a shot of espresso, although a very strong regular coffee can give the flavour just about 😊. There are also some brands of cold brew type stuff designed to go in espresso martini’s like First Press.

[@vaettra1589]

@@BehindtheBar I'm not planning to buy an espresso machine just to make this drink, albeit it's tempting! Strong regular coffe works pretty good, but I'll look into this cold brew thing, thank you!

[@BehindtheBar]

Oh no this is an unauthentic version haha! There will be a longer edit where we discuss this but in Mexico it’s closer to just lager and lime juice over ice most places.

[@troporobo]

@@BehindtheBar I was pulling your leg a bit! I've had them all kinds of ways and depending on where you are in Mexico they are simpler (and never with mezcal or tequila) I just found this version very tasty! There's no real consensus but fans of the drink would say that lime, beer, Taijin is a chelada, and Worstershire, Taijin, Maggi, lime, hot sauce, and beer is a michelada, and if you add tomato juice or clamato it's an oyo rojo (red eye). Putting ice in any of these is controversial. I like them all.

Thanks for the list, some were totally new, some were old “friends” I should have seen the L.I.I.T coming but it took me by surprise. Something else took me by surpise. I have had Long Islands in bars, clubs and restaurants all over Sydney and its suburbs and never has there been a sugar syrup component, all the sweetness was provided by the Cointreau and the Coke filler. Adding that much syrup seems like it would make it very oversweet. But thank you and thanks Josh for all the hard spying, I mean research.He deserves a drink.

[@BehindtheBar]

I also add a full shot of lemon juice- the sugar and Cointreau add up to the same amount of sour, plus the coke and and booze. I tend to find folks prefer this drink a little on the sweeter side but of course leave out if you prefer 😊

A question about ice...I notice you add ice last while others begin with ice. So that's a statement. Is it simply preference or is one better than another? And I love your videos.

[@BehindtheBar]

Adding the ice last means you have more control over the dilution. If you add ice first, particularly in a bar environment, and get interrupted mid make you may end up with a watery over diluted drink. It's much easier to fix an under-diluted drink, you just need to stir/shake a little longer 😊
