I'm drooling over that Raspberry Collins. Definitely going to try that soon.

[@74jailbreaker]

I don't know about you guys but when I watch him make these drinks I get extremely thirsty lol

[@avguy2006]

I've enjoyed this drink for years. By far my favorite. I had blackberries on hand this evening. Following the same recipe, it was delicious.

i live in Amarillo TX and the most popular cocktail in the Amarillo / Lubbock area is a “Chilton” - invented in sometime in the last decade in Lubbock. named after Dr Chilton, its a Tom Collins with no simple syrup, just vodka, citrus, and soda water. Weatern Son flavored vodka is preferred. Craft variations use high end vodka with muddled fruit.

[@74jailbreaker]

Dr Chilton from Silence of the Lambs? Lol

[@NikudemusProductions]

Any drink that has a glass named after it is a drink worth having !!!!

[@davidmcmartinez23]

i'm hoping to do the same right now. i'm attempting to build a better beverage program as well as a beer program at the bar i'm at now. the beer program is going great. next step is the cocktails but i'd like to be in a classier place making classic drinks and having all of the knowledge.

[@XxNeed4SpdxX]

Mmmm... the Tom Collins has always been a favorite of mine. I'll have to try it with raspberries now.

[@FrodeFlodhest]

Added to " my favorites " =)

[@teodustus]

i would be trying to get my hands of every single one of 'em.

[@skyrissian]

I tried this over the weekend with strawberries. Excellent!

[@davidmcmartinez23]

i would love some recommendations. i live in flint, mi so as far as there being any bartenders around that actually love their craft that are not just only making these ridiculously sweet "martinis" i'm kind of alone.

[@cincitymenace]

Right on buddy you can do it! If you need any book recomendations let me know

[@FrodeFlodhest]

Boston shaker vs. european shaker if you are a newbie to shaking?

[@skyrissian]

2 or 3, depending on the size.

Yep, Gin - Bombay Dry. Funnily enough in Australia Bombay Dry is not sold. Only Bombay Sapphire.

[@cincitymenace]

I'm so happy to finally be working in a place just like this.. I worked in a douche bag bar for several years and it was busy and good money but the customers were retards now I'm serving sophisticated drinkers and finally getting to make classic cocktails. ITS AWESOME!

[@74jailbreaker]

I would love to go to a bar where the bartenders aren't a bunch of 20 year old ass hats and who could make a good cocktail

[@lcspies]

I like topping it with 7up or Sprite.

[@smurfarooney2003]

dry gin or just gin ?

[@TokuCSK]

almost certain he's using Bombay Dry here.

[@LordJummy]

this guy says "uh" and "ah" a lot

[@McHipster]

I wonder who is drinking all these....

[@elephantricity]

Most bars don't add the simple syrup. I hate those fucking bars.
