Steve’s smile mid shake always gets me 😄

[@361Openwounds]

Saaaame! I call it his signature "pop-smile" love it

[@ChessJew]

It makes me so happy to see a professional stirring with the knob end of the bar spoon. I thought I was a noob for tending towards it, but it offers so much better control of the ice

[@StevetheBartender_]

Either way works well!

[@boozeontherocks]

I do that all the time.

[@drastmannen]

Don’t stir your drinks with your knob 😂😂

[@StevetheBartender_]

@@drastmannen especially if you’re working at a bar. Guests get weird about it.

[@Fajiitas]

The video is great. The drinks are great. The number of "smile shake" we got is amazing!

[@IOSARBX]

Steve the Bartender, cool video keep up the good content

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

Love the smile Steve!

[@christinecamley]

Terrific list Steve!! There are some amazing gems here!! The cocktail bitters sound amazing! Love Difford’s!!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks Christine! Latest batch of chocolate bitters is tasting awesome!!

[@christinecamley]

@@StevetheBartender_ Okay Steve I will be in Australia in the next few months - I have to get these bitters! You rock!

[@StevetheBartender_]

I can send the bitters worldwide… get in touch and I’ll organise you some gin instead!

[@paultaylor1786]

Steve you're a legend! I've been watching you on youtube for a good couple of years now and you make cocktail making, simple and easy to follow. I agree with you, Negroni at No.17 what's going on in the world!? Keep it going, love the book, love the channel

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks so much Paul - I really appreciate the kind words and glad to hear you’re enjoying the book! 🙌

[@StevetheBartender_]

My upcoming “top 20 gin cocktails” video will rectify things and give the Negroni the respect it deserves 😉

[@boozeontherocks]

A great presentation as usual Steve, Im glad I tuned in :)

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks David! 🙏

[@Birdie-pr3um]

LOVE IT!

[@rubiconazza]

awesome as always

[@BetterAvecBourbon]

I’ve even seen bars with kegged Paloma’s! A must have on the cocktail list

[@alexcoleman2735]

Love that!

[@jamesjoyce5962]

awesome video thank you

[@jasonruka1665]

Never actually had a Paloma… looks like it would be a banger in the summer! Will definitely give it a go. Cheers Steve!

[@xwhiskeyjack3483]

I live in Arizona where all the citrus grows and grapefruit is just too bitter for me. I can use it if I mix it with lemon or lime, but I don't enjoy a traditional paloma, but take my opinion with a grain of salt!

[@RussellJack]

i think it's awesome that you used metric for the paloma and daiquiri recipes!!! still ratio-based cocktails... i'm in the US, but always assumed it would be annoying for the rest of the world to measure out 15ml/22.5ml/30ml/45ml/60ml. idk... maybe that's just how cocktail culture IS around the world??

[@StevetheBartender_]

I’ve always used those specs… I know many people that pour 20ml instead of 22.5ml, etc. our standard measures are 30ml so it makes sense… whilst the UK measures are 25ml.

[@ErikDavisHeim]

Love the label on the new gin

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks Erik! We use a company called Voice Design... they do a hell of a job with our labels!

[@MegaUjj]

I made a cross between a manhattan and old fashioned yesterday with the addition of Amaro Nonino, was delicious as hell

[@MegaUjj]

The paper plane is my no 1 drink lol

[@georgebarrand7778]

You gotta try making a cocktail with Barti rum, its a sweet, seaweed based rum out of Wales

[@eddiemendoza3304]

I see a nice Fortaleza behind you. Cheers mate!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Sooo tasty.

[@tubularjay]

That jungle bird broke my heart. Should have 1.0 Campari, and the sugar should be Demerara or maple. Shouldn’t come out yellow looking like that 😓 love you tho Steve!

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

Could be food coloring dye in the "fresh" pineapple juice and/or the 0.5oz of Campari. Steve's recipe in his book calls for 0.75oz of Campari which I find to be a good amount. I use canned pineapple juice and I get the correct color. Just made one with demerara syrup, it's good but not that different from simple syrup.

[@mattmathai]

The original recipe called for simple syrup and 0.5 oz campari (for 1 oz of dark rum)

[@StevetheBartender_]

Lol - I made sure I mentioned that I was using Difford's specs, not mine! Hehe.... a black rum and only 0.5 oz of Campari will make it that colour...

[@Vis_Comica]

remember gault millau event, I've made about 800 french martini in 2 hours in two blenders no chance for pink colour 😅

[@jarrardscott]

I legitimately made the french martini last weekend with that exact recipe and mine was purple. No idea why yours wasnt! 🤣

[@StevetheBartender_]

It's probably my old chambord that I don't use.... 😁

[@WimukthiSithupavan]

Hello sir.I am from Sri Lanka.I always watch your videos❤.I need your cocktail recipe book. Can I responsibly look after that book?

[@Lbotking02]

Steve, I need your help. My tins always end up too vacuumed to where I can’t open them. Am I shaking my espresso martinis too much?

[@StevetheBartender_]

Chances are the tins are not perfectly made for one another… are they branded? ..or perhaps you might be hitting them too hard to stick them together?

[@Lbotking02]

@@StevetheBartender_ I think I’m either hitting them too hard or shaking too much. They are branded tins. How long am I supposed to shake them? I’ve been shaking for like 1-1.5 minutes I think.

[@StevetheBartender_]

You don’t need to knock them together hard.. the ice will cool the steel making it form a tight seal. Shake for 10-12 seconds.

[@robdielemans9189]

[@Br3ndo1891]

Where are you putting them?

[@StevetheBartender_]

In the fridge.

[@thanjay1867]

No Aviation? No Sidecar? No OLD-FASHIONED?! The UK should stick to their ESBs and Ciders 😂 Joking aside, great video. I really like an Ultima Palabra over a Last Word, my favorite cocktail!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yeah surprising but it’s a somewhat flawed approach (ranking by page views).

[@mrsmiriade]

Now this got me thinking: what about Australia 10 top most requested cocktails from the nighscene ?!? I wonder this list will show us some different cocktails.

[@wastefellow2569]

You actually didn’t need any foamers for the whisky sour. That one doesn’t use foamers. That’s the Boston sour that uses foamers

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yes, technically the whiskey sour doesn’t have egg white. Adding egg white becomes a Boston sour BUT nowadays it’s very common to serve a whiskey sour with egg whites and still call it a whiskey sour.

[@kittylambert1358]

Where do all the cocktails go after he makes them for the purpose of the video?

[@AwesomizedArmadillo]

I imagine the negroni would be higher up the list if it weren't so easy to remember how to make lol, no need to search the recipe

[@ThaBlackSwan-TV]

Bro seems like an amazing bartender.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thank you sir! 😅

[@joshuamiller8533]

I refuse to believe that the whiskey sour, the Manhattan, and the paper plane were not in the top 10. Controversy! 😀

[@e.j.bosman7728]

Well, to me anything with aperol or vermouth is on my dislike-list, so for me it resonates

[@joshuamiller8533]

@@e.j.bosman7728 I feel the same way about campari, but I know I'm in the minority on that opinion. 😜

[@adamg.manning6088]

That’s definitely a “Diffords 10:3:2” Daiq, not 6:2:1…

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yes, that's correct. That's why I said "my favourite ratio is 6:2:1" followed by "this one is actually different" and went on to make the Diffords version 👉 14:15

[@adamg.manning6088]

@@StevetheBartender_ Ah fuck. Sorry. I was just off a sixteen hour AFD and was half listening, half watching with headphones, and I missed the “my favourite part”. I just heard the reference, and saw it flash up whilst I was doing something. Sorry about that. 10:3:2 has been my go to for about fifteen years. Love the ratio.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Haha no stress mate 👍

[@edgarquintero2876]

Already from the first Paloma I can tell you this is not practical at a bar especially when there is soda at a bar and you have grapefruit juice adding the cheap squirt doesn’t make it better

[@gizemakti1693]

whaaat??? no mojito??? come onnnn, Who voted for this list?

It wasn’t voted. It was based on website page views. I explained this in the first 30 seconds 😅
