I love how every time he does a dry shake he doesn't smile, but whenever he shakes with the ice afterwards he smiles, gets me everytime! Love these videos Steve, keep it up!

That smile he flashes while shaking the cocktails tho.

I laughed every time he did it. Lol. Adorable.

Haha that bit got me too

It kind of looks like he’s trying to fight it off but then he can’t help it haha. I also noticed shaking without ice isn’t grin-worthy.

"Add Two Ounces of Gin, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, 1 ounce of simple syrup. Give it a good shake, and to top it off... a smile to melt your heart".

[@augustrainkolkata4523]

The best part is that lovely smile while shaking the ingredients 💕🙏👍

[@jamesli5823]

steve, i love your smile when you shake. it doesn't matter what exact cocktail you are making but just the smile itself brings joy to me. that's how we should enjoy life, to be able to spend time doing things we love to do.

📚 I wrote a cocktail book! bit.ly/STB-cocktail-guide

[@DosBear]

For those of you just looking for an easy drink and mix. Simply use 2 ounces of gin and 8 ounces of 7up or Sprite or 4 ounces of 7up and 4 ounces of orange juice or grapefruit juice. Add a bit of sugar if you're looking to sweeten up the drink a bit and tame down the bitter taste of orange or grapefruit is nice as well. I personally am not looking to make a job out of making a drink but do appreciate all the effort you took in sharing your recipes. Gin is also great with a Tom Collins mix and some club soda if you can find those.

[@lennertdebacker9604]

You've said you're using Old Tom's Gin for the Tom Collins, but the bottle of Hayman's should have a green label, not a blue label. The label clearly states "London Dry Gin"... :D

[@StevetheBartender_]

Busted!! I didn't actually realise until I was just about to upload!

[@lagoonbeach741]

Thank you for including OZ conversions in your videos!

[@Laudergirl100]

Because Steve said it’s one of his favorites, I just made a Clover Club. Never heard of it before. It’s absolutely delicious!

[@franzfanz]

The Clover Club convinced my gin hating friend to give gin another try. Now she's all over gin cocktails.

[@StevetheBartender_]

That's awesome!! Definitely a good way to introduce someone to gin cocktails..

[@spacepirate1449]

You are so calm and chill, love to watch man, also not arrogant at all like most bartenders

[@StevetheBartender_]

Cheers Florian! I try to keep it as real as possible - just keen to show people that it isn't as hard to mix drinks as some people think =)

[@Irishringo]

I reckon you should do a tutorial on this cocktail from the Dead Rabbit in NY. I've changed the measures of each ingredient so that it's legal to make in australia. The Mean Fiddler 20ml Irish Whiskey 10ml Islay Whisky 15ml Green Chartreuse 10ml Campari 15ml Sweet Vermouth 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon Syrup Dash of Bitters Stir and strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish necessary

[@spartans262013]

Jack007 so delicious

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks for sharing Jack! Sounds really interesting as there are some bold flavours and spirits there! Is this the full recipe? - 1 oz Irish Whiskey - ¾ oz Green Chartreuse - ¾ oz Sweet Vermouth - ½ oz Islay Scotch - ½ oz Campari - 1 barspoon cinnamon syrup - 2-3 dashes Angostura What do you mean to make it legal in Australia?

[@SOliveira01]

I'm a fan of drinks and I always have my friends at home making some drinks and always surprising them. I learn a lot from your channel. Thanks. Greetings from Brazil, South America.

[@saramariesandvik8214]

The smile when he shakes ✨ precious✨

[@donnatecce1884]

Basil smash sounds amazing. Bees knees you did not show is my favorite

[@bibsaltiboy4742]

The Gin Basil Smash was made by Joerg Meier at 10th July 2008 in Hamburg the bar is named Le Lion.

[@kj3d812]

The Basil Smash sounds a lot like the Basil-ica I've been making for a while now (muddling the basil not just shaking it), but instead of serving it "up," I add soda water in a Collins glass and make it fizzy. It's the most refreshing cocktail I've ever had in the summertime, other than a Bahama Mama. Now I should try the Basil Smash with soda water and see how it compares! Eager to try the Clover Club and Bramble as well. Sláinte!

[@olegpavlov8784]

Clover club looks great, and I'm sure its yummy. Keep going, Steve! Great tutorials for those who decided to learn!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks Oleg - the Clover Club is one of my fav cocktails!

[@TravelWithMeVlogs]

raspberry has vibrant look and would taste amazing with gin

[@StevetheBartender_]

100%! Gin + raspberries = 🎉

[@marvelboy74]

I have drank Tom Collins several times this summer. I had forgotten how simple and refreshing it is.

[@robertodegooijer5714]

For the Clover Club, I muddle fresh raspberries and add sugar sirup.

[@roundup1253]

I’m german and I’m hoping I’m not affected by this but the basil smash is a hell of a good cocktail. All people like it whatever cocktail experiences they have, they like it, phenomenal success in serving this cocktail on parties and for friends

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

Hey, is there a reason you sometimes use glass for shaking, instead of metal. And metal instead of glass other times ? Just curious, as I'm looking into getting that style of shaker (Boston shaker ?) :)

[@StevetheBartender_]

mike z I mainly use the Boston tin and glass for the channel so that viewers can actually see what is in the glass.. I personally prefer using the weighted tins whilst working. Tins supposedly cause a tiny bit less dilution too as the steel comes down to temperature faster than the thickened glass.. a tiny difference though.

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

@@StevetheBartender_ thanks for the reply, the glass does offer a clear look at the contents beforehand (which is helpful). Ah, I think I shake it more than most, so maybe I should go with metal then. Maybe do an episode on equipment! Is there a brand that you would recommend for a metal shaker? (I'm in Canada and it's difficult to find much in stores :/)

[@StevetheBartender_]

It's on my list of to dos! Considering I sell bar equipment here in Australia, I should do it! (cocktailkit.com.au) I haven't used a Koriko set of tins but bartenders in the US swear by them: amzn.to/2FEHMir Otherwise you can't argue with the overly positive reviews for the Pina tins: amzn.to/2JTp24h There are a lot of shaker tins that don't really pair nicely ie. the smaller tin sits too deep inside the larger tin (which limits the volume you can put in the tin). From what I've read, both Koriko and Pina tins sit very well.

[@nickbusch7250]

@@MakeLikeAFridge Cocktail kingdom out of NY has high quality equipment. Be prepared to pay a premium for it though.

[@Pasquale17Stamos]

Got addicted to your channel buddy,great job!! I was serving and being served the French 75 in a coupet glass though in UK.Got a bit confused.Anyway,keep it up big man,already learned a lot from you,thanks!!

[@RecoveryInspiration]

Yeah we don't have coupe glasses so we serve them in flute glasses, definitely never over ice

[@rubygregory1992]

I’ve never seen a French 75 served that way but I like it!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Something I should have mentioned in the video - it’s not the ‘authentic’ way but I do prefer serving it like a Collins..

Wicked selection mate. Nice work 🕺🏼

I like serving the French 75 in a coupe and I muddle basil and cucumber, double strain.

[@RawkCSSable]

Liked the video when I started it, then I tried liking it again when you said it at the end haha

Thanks for the double like! 😉

[@adrianwahl5107]

The Bartender that invented the Gin Basil Smash is called Jörg Meyer

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yes that’s correct 👍

[@inf0phreak]

Thank you for serving the French 75 in the correct glass and not a champagne flute.

[@StevetheBartender_]

I much prefer serving it on ice in a high ball glass =)

[@revamyroller]

The Aviation and the Basil Smash are my favorites. Great video!

[@IVinniboyI]

for the tom collins it wasn't really an old tom gin, it even said london dry gin on the bottle

[@StevetheBartender_]

I'm already spending many hours every day on videos so trying to streamline the process... unless of course I can end up making it my full time gig.. for now, I have to be efficient :)

[@01JennieLou]

I've made all of these except the Basil Smash (new drink for my repertoire!) and am going to try your measurements as compared to mine. The Aviation is my absolute fave- It's what made me a gin lover! Now whenever a friend says he doesn't like gin, I say, "You haven't had MY cocktails!" And then he's a convert!

[@Granaldigirl]

I just made the Basil Smash per your instructions, and it is heavenly.

[@piccachu258]

My favorite is the Aviation. I first saw it on the cocktail menu at Four Seasons, Scottsdale, AZ

[@patrickreid4950]

Outstanding. Would be nice if at the end of each drink you posted the ingredients/amounts. Otherwise well done!

[@ManuelKibarian]

Ideally you’d wanna muddle the basil to get a really nice taste and color.

[@StevetheBartender_]

It’s not necessary. Shaking is enough 👍

[@hualani6785]

Ooh difficult choices! Between Basil Smash and Clover Club. I wish we viewers were familiar with plethora of gin choices you pro’s have, how wonderful. TYVM 4 your videos.

[@Paulxl]

I just learned the "Basil Smash" is a thing and I need to try to make it. It sounds too nice.

Thanks Steve im learning a lot from you👍

[@StevetheBartender_]

Most welcome Jid! Good to hear that the vids are getting put to good use! ;)

[@stephane.foisy.186]

The video is spot on with great delivery. Checked marked a view cocktails I want to make this weekend. For a lazy/quick raspberry syrup in the clover club if doing 1-2 cocktails at home (and no further use of the syrup) I muddle raspberries with rich simple syrup having 1 part juice to one part syrup. The flavour is bright and colour is very rich. Need to double strain to remove seeds.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Bit of a delay! So much catching up to do on video comments! I've got a syrup video coming out very soon and it'll be aimed for people at home so only making small bottles of syrup.... all the videos out there usually show recipes for a full litre or so... which no one would use at home (unless hosting a party)... thanks for sharing your raspberry syrup method 👌

[@stephane.foisy.186]

@@StevetheBartender_ I concur a small batch quick/cheat syrup for the home personal use will be an excellent topic. Build off a rich/simple syrup already made and muddling the fresh fruit works wonders and thus only need to have the syrup.

[@sharoncruz9901]

I love gin, and these cocktails look amazing. You always make them fresh and simple, perfect. I am going to make Aviations to drink while I wrap gifts tonight. Merry Christmas 2022, as this is probably an old video. Catching up after recently finding your channel. ❤Cheers from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
