Great shout out to your local distillers. Ive done the Lemon Drop, Espresso Martini, and The Moscow Mule. The Lemon Drop was my favorite. Keep em' coming.

Great vodka drink list (favourite being lemon drop and campari) and shout out to your local distilleries. Most Canadian distilleries (micro to super large) have switched to make high proof alcohol (they keep the head and the tail to save cost) and giving away their version of hand sanitizer to the front line workers

[@StevetheBartender_]

The Chocolate Martini was my fav.. and the Campari Cocktail surprised me too... we were only discussing today re: making hand sanitiser - can't get a hold of any aloe vera though as suppliers have been cleaned out!

Hello Steve, y just started making and trying some cocktails, so far the Lemon Drop is my favorite,

[@penguindrummaster]

If you like a Lemon Drop, you should look at his 5 Rum Cocktails video where he shows how to make a Daiquiri and a Mojito. Both strike a similar flavor note, and are relatively easy to make

What's your opinion on storing vodka in the freezer? (2:39) Try using an orange vodka instead of a straight vodka in a chocolate martini. Tastes like Terry's Chocolate Orange.

For an espresso martini if you used kahlua as 15ml I’m guessing you wouldn’t need any simple syrup?

[@StevetheBartender_]

The original recipe calls for Kahlua and the simple syrup... the version with Mr Black isn't very sweet but that's how I like it.. try two side by side with and without the simple and see what you think :) ...or just increase the Kahlua and use no simple.
