Thanks for helping us reach 500k! Stay tuned - lots more to come P.S. I looked it up. Penguins have flippers, not wings 🐧

[@AntiDot70]

I found your channel recently and have been binging the episodes every evening since. Your skills, knowledge, humor, attitude, and charisma are quite simply... amazing. Speaking for all of us here, we truly appreciate You and Az! Warmest Cheers and Congrats on the 0.5M subs from your Chitown fan!

[@AndersErickson]

@@AntiDot70 thanks so much! Cheers

[@drdrai7479]

Congrats mate!

[@naomiwhite5213]

Looking forward to another awesome year of cocktails! And being broke trying to source these bottles in Australia 😂

[@oscarsnr]

At least we can get Havana rum

[@chuckerickson5048]

Congratulations Anders and Az. Half a million is a major accomplishment. I’m proud of both of you. Your Dad.

[@joel29585]

Idk if this is real or not but I want it to be real haha

[@slbdrinks]

Mr Erickson, Anders is a byproduct of outstanding parenting. Kudos on a job well done sir.

[@efrain816830]

❤❤❤❤❤😂

[@SCLSUMudDogs1]

Discovered your channel 3 years ago looking for an Old Fashioned recipe and I’ve watched every single video since. You two are easy to root for. Congrats!

[@lisab8132]

I get a Spy vs. Spy vibe from this penguin! It's very cute and pretty. Congrats on all your success!

[@robbvaneck9153]

So proud of you Anders and Az! Since covid times you have been part of my world. Thanks! and here's to the next chapter!

[@amylewis2896]

I made these last night and they are so good! I made one with creme de cassis instead of creme de muir and one with raspberry liqueur because I had both of those on hand - the creme de cassis was the clear winner. This was for sure the most garnished cocktail I have made yet and they turned out so gosh darn cute.

[@MarkDunston]

I have 2 cocktail channels on "All" notifications and I always get excited when I see your notifications. Congrats on the milestone, excited to see the 1 million next!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks for that. Cheers

[@Flowerbandit7]

Little late to the party. But my girlfriend (who's favorite animal is a penguin) absolutely loved this drink and I might have found a new Tiki favorite.

[@michaelvandewalle8843]

Best coctail channel out there! Congratulations on half a million subs.greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@JetReset]

congrats on 500k! My home bar is a huge hit and your guidance was a big part of what made it better.

Congratulations to you both! Amazing accomplishment! A testament to your humility and kind spirit!

[@rainerzufall5316]

you guys have been my favorite cocktail channel ever since, you were an amazing help in my tour through the world of cocktails, congrats on 500k

[@epadge74]

Congrats on the subscriber milestone! My wife doesn’t like the rye, so I subbed white rum for it and added .25 oz. of grenadine. We called it The Lovely Penguin.

[@brucewatson5640]

Perfect mix of irreverent fun and smart recipes! This video is emblematic of the channel. Congratulations on the success Anders and Az. 🎉

[@MrMoney331]

Damn dude 500K! Congrats! You guys totally deserve it! Can't wait to see what you do in the future!

[@johnlong7198]

Congratulations on 500K!!! I discovered your channel over 3 years ago and have learned a lot about making tasty cocktails. And I love your lighthearted style and playfulness. Looking forward to many more years of videos. All the best!! 👍 🍹🥂🧉🍸

[@Mocktailmaking]

I too felt the same so much he inspired me to make my channel.

[@macmanmpls]

Congrats Anders on 501k followers. You are awesome.

[@4everyoung24]

Congratulations! That penguin is so cute!!!

[@Valath]

Congrats Anders you've worked so hard and deserve this!

[@charlesrocco8664]

Very cute and festive. Could do a blue version as a Frozen 🥶 Penguin 🐧 for Holiday times. Just sent it to my niece since she loves penguins. Also, love the posters! Cheers.

[@NickTurkovic]

Congratulations on 500K Anders & Az! You’ve upped my mixology skills with each video. Received a”To The Bar” t-shirt for Christmas. Love it! Keep up the great work!

[@ThatMikotan]

Congrats to you two for 500K! Cheers!

[@mikeshardreviews4154]

Congrats Anders and Az! This is a huge milestone and I’m so happy for you guys to be so successful after all the work you’ve put in over the years.

[@redfishresources]

You rock! I subscribed about 1.5 months ago. Love your content and your sense of humor. Thanks for all you do! Congrats!

[@h3l1x23]

Much much deserved Anders! 🥳You’re one of my favorite channels here on KZbin, and definitely the number one cocktails related channel! 1 million next let’s goo! ❤

[@КириллОнищенко-ю5щ]

Congratulations Anders and AZ! You deserve this more than anyone else. But there is no limit to perfection, so we are waiting for new cocktails and new achievements.

[@moertin]

[@gabSTri]

🎉🎉🎉🍻🍻 cheers to you anders and az!!

[@LoriBeehler]

During the pandemic you guys were my first foray into cocktail videos and it’s still the best! Congratulations on 500k!

[@MrsNoNameAnonymous]

Congrats on reaching 500k! You totally deserve it!

[@LaurenRicciardella]

I really hope you release all three poster bundles as a mega set. I would definitely buy it! I missed the first ones and would love to buy them all.

[@cavalier40]

congrats on 500k. You are far and away my favorite cocktail channel. You are the reason I have a home bar. You have a warmth that draws people in. I cant wait to see your future content.

[@Rob.S.42]

Cheers, and congrats! It was you who got me into starting to like *and* make cocktails not too long ago, and it was good. Also, it wasn't just the cocktails, it was your presenting, it was the spirit (hah) of the show, your wealth of background knowledge, the excellent filmmaking of your partner. But of course it also was the cocktails! This evening, by the way, it was the Doctor I just happened to stumble upon by browsing the channel - while starting to binge another season of Doctor Who! Great recipe, it's going on my favourites list.

[@nicktheflybradley]

Hi Anders, well done on your achievement, well deserved. I have thoroughly enjoyed your infrequent postings and noted several new recipes in my notebook, made and enjoyed them. This particular presentation, magnificently presented, is noted and when I next make my Coconut cream I will make the drink. Nick from York

[@KarenSchuessler]

On my cocktail menu, I have "AE" after all the recipes that are yours. They're my faves! Been with you since lockdown. Chuckled all the way through the Lonely Penguin--so fun. Thanks to you and Az for for all you both give and all you are. Here's to a million!!

[@matiasjurisich]

Congratulations. I really admire her work. Going for the million subscribers.

[@nathanvertil7355]

I love it, also CONGRATS ON HALF A MILLION!!!!

[@odiec5567]

Congrats you two! Well deserved and much more momentum to come!

[@marshallemmett3313]

Congrats on 500K! Well deserved!

[@philb6409]

Congrats on 500k! Followed your guidance to make many of your drinks! All tasty!

[@MsSussiluss]

Congratulations to you both and the amazing work you do. *Cheers* 🍹

[@mikefeese]

Congratulations on 500K; what a great accomplishment. My wife and I are very curious about the name. That penguin does not look lonely, at all. Especially, if you make a couple of them. Thank you for all of the great content. We found you a couple of months ago and have learned so much. Cheers!

[@dcus55]

Wow…congrats on 500k!

[@JeffreyIrvin-v1s]

The penguin is so cool! Looks yummy to drink too :)

[@Jesse_Phillips714]

Congrats on 500k! I’m very excited for this drink because I happen to have all of them (including the cream of coconut, a rarity for me) and will need a drink after I kick this cold. Thanks for the sips and tips!!

[@lothario4one]

Congrats! Just made the drink! Beautiful! Tasty! Refreshing! Love the hit of coconut I the back palette. I used Jack Daniel’s bonded rye instead of rittenhouse. Great drink! Thanks for sharing!

[@jmartlncln]

I love this channel. This is my Saturday ritual catching up on your videos! Passion is contagious and stories and history are timeless!

[@tj6675]

Congrats on 500k, really enjoy the videos

[@seanoconnor666]

Your video for the at home bar started me on this channel during Covid and I’ve never looked back. Love your videos every week!

[@carsondooman7626]

I remember when this channel had come out during the pandemic. It’s been awesome seeing the channel growth dude!

[@siobhanryan3307]

congrats on half a million guys, well done 😀👏

[@amethystine17]

Congrats; you're pretty much the only cocktail channel I watch.

[@lindaferencz2741]

Guys i love you so much. You are awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Congratulations. I always love to watch your videos. ❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@victordevillers3899]

you do amazing things. as a Mixologist I love your work. thank you for showing quality cocktails and good technique instead of Pre produced cocktails

[@kevinashworth6256]

Congrats on 500k. Your content keeps us coming back. And the pics from your first drop are hanging by my bar.

[@danieljosenaval]

Well deserved! The aesthetic of this channel is so fitting to the content you produce. Quality quality quality everywhere. 🎉

[@vwjetts]

Congratulations! I've only been making cocktails for a little over a year, but your channel is where I started. Your way of building and presenting your drinks, not to mention your personality really kept me inspired and confident. I think my fiance is tired of hearing, "Well, Anders says..." 🤣🤣🤣 Once again, Congratulations you two, and thank you!!! 🥂

[@christinecamley]

Fabulous cocktail and congratulations on 500,000 subscribers!!! You both rock!! Amazing work and you deserve this so much!! You have a spectacular channel!! :-)

[@Danny-qi4lp]

Great achievement, 500k. I always look forward to a new video every Friday.

[@thebigKM20]

Congrats on 500k! I've been watching your videos for more than a year now and you helped me gain an appreciation for mixing cocktails. I'm not sure if I should thank you for introducing me to this hobby or curse you for all the money I've sunk into bottles. I guess I'll call it even.

[@dynamusgaming238]

YOU GUYS DESERVE MORE THAN 10 MILLION!!

[@kennethkawamitsu5048]

Congratulations 🎉🍾 been subscribed & watching since you made the videos during covid at y’all’s apartment and so excited to see you finally hit 500k!!!

[@gillianwheatley7447]

Many congratulations to you and Az. Love from London, England. ❤

[@drewo1494]

Congratulations on 500K. Cheers.

[@JSOS]

Lots of love 🧡 and massive congrats to both of you.

[@AllegedlyChill]

Congrats on half a million subs! So I didn't have any coconut creme or creme de mure, but I substituted passion fruit puree for coconut creme and Fraise Des Bois for creme de mure... the drink was magic! It reminded me of a drink I get when I'm at a pool bar on cruise ships. I can't wait to make it for my friends. They are going to love it! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I look forward to trying it with coconut creme.

[@HarmonyWithHunter]

Former bartender here who was happy with regular, boring old roster of go-to cocktails, until I found your channel! Really appreciate the background on the drinks, the explanations for how the flavors work together, and I now find myself trying out new drinks (and making my own syrups) on the regular thanks to you. Thanks so much, and congrats on 500K! btw, have you tried Benchmark bourbon? I'd say it's better than Evan Williams and even cheaper, great for basic bourbon cocktails. Used it to batch old-fashioneds for my wedding and saved biiiiig $

[@CoachVinoLLC]

Congrats, Anders & Az! What an amazing milestone. Crazy to think when you guys did my PubCrawl interview, you were “only” at 60k. I knew then that sky was the limit for ya’ll. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Cheers to you both! 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ 🥂🍾♥️

[@AndersErickson]

Appreciate that, Vino! That PubCrawl was a good time. Cheers to you!

[@dasmohuna]

Congratulations!! Anderson

[@grumblebee8115]

[@therealcap8598]

Congrats you 2! It's been such an awesome journey with yall. Yall have been so helpful to me in my early journey as a bartender. Keep at it! We're here for long haul!

[@naomiwhite5213]

Another fantastic original, just made it and it's perfect in the Aussie summer sun. I've never been a whiskey cocktail fan but I'm being converted. Thanks Anders.

[@CrusinVK]

Woooohoooo!!! 500k subs! Awesome work behind & infront of the camera by the both of you! Much love from Australia

[@jarrodbrett1051]

Congratulations! One of a very few channels that I watch without fail, and my favorite cocktail channel. I've learned so much!

[@akshatsahay9015]

Congrats on 500k Anders!!!

[@jameshageman6244]

Awesome! Thanks Anders and Ahz!

[@Flo_is_behind_the_bar]

Congratulation on the half million ! You two deserve it, I discovered you a few years ago when I started making cocktails and you guys helped me a lot to be more creative ! Love from Belgium

[@judegibson6473]

Congratulations guys!!! Can’t believe how fair it’s come since your first few videos in lockdown, and there just getting better and better. Thanks for an amazing journey of drinks and looking forward to the future for some more! Cheers

[@JakeMontes]

Out of complete chance, I just sat down to relax with a Tradewinds when I opened up KZbin and saw this video! Excited to try this riff, especially since I actually have the ingredients!

[@joecichlid]

Congratulations good sir! Absolutely love the channel and have for quite some time now. As for the drink, it is amazing! I went a tad light on the cream of coconut out of fear of it being too sweet but your ratios are spot on and darned good!

[@ronniesuburban]

Congrats, you two!! What an accomplishment. So well earned and well deserved. Here's to the next 500k!

[@tommita6440]

Congrats to both of you!!

[@mkwlls]

I love all your glassware. If I didn't spend all my money on golf clubs...congrats on 500k

[@HighKingTurgon]

Oh, my God. It's so cute. And it doesn't have an insane ingredient list. Might have to try it

[@NickPulgine]

A fellow north side Chicagoan here who has been here since the early days - congrats to you two and thanks for upping my bar game every Friday! Cheers 🍻

[@mlkollman]

Awesome! So happy for you guys.

[@SewPerky]

Love your channel! Congrats on 500,000(!!!!!) subscribers! Cute drink and I love rye whiskey, so will be trying this one out 😊

[@claudiom4616]

Congratulations! 🥳 So well deserved! I've tried less than 1% of the drinks I've learned from you, but I just can't stop watching! Great job!!!

[@cannistershot2277]

Congrats on reaching 500K! I loved the El Diablo and have made it several times over the last year. I'm going to check into getting that poster!

[@jacksongilder]

Congratulations! I would just like to say that out of all the different KZbin bartenders I watch, you have the best personality and delivery. (And this is unanimous among the tiny circle of friends I share your videos with.) I always look forward to seeing the videos as you drop them. This cocktail will have to wait until I procure some Combier Crème de Mûre or the other you mentioned. It looks like something that might delight the ladies who occasionally visit my home tiki bar.

[@joachimkoka5030]

Can’t believe I’ve been following for so long too. 1/2 way to a million

[@EricAAnderson]

I appreciate this channel. Congrats on 500k!!!!!!!! ❤

[@blakecooper2262]

Wow hard to believe I’ve been watching since under 1,000 subs. Congrats all!

[@AndersErickson]

Love it. Appreciate you being here for so long!

[@theintrnationlst]

Congratulations!! Cute idea and looks tasty!
