[@LePappnase]

Greg you forgot the moose cup for eggnog on your list haha

[@camerashycoco]

As a former hairdresser and barber, I can confirm the buck. There's nothing better than really good tools for your trade. And while the Wahl is not particularly for your trade, I totally get all of the particulars on the barware. I even understand the flannel. It's good to have the proper tools for the job. The tools that fit right in your hands. Also, somebody who knows a bit about this once said, "... at the end of the day, if the drink you like is in the glass, you did it right." I feel like that applies to a lot in life. Thanks for all the videos, they're making 2020 a little bit easier to cope with.

[@mathewskaggs8103]

If you decide too sell some razors I've tried a few and the one I would recommend is Harry's Razors. Now go forth and get paid for making free content 👍

Whiskey stones were the first gift I got when people heard I like to drink. They've sat unused in my freezer for nine years. The stones, not the people.

[@rickroll9086]

So, you want to look like Greg? First 6 minutes are 1) apron 2) shirt (Bauer vs Bean vs Patagonia) 3) watch and 4) beard trimmer. I thought it was going to be about whiskey as it popped up in my recommended list. I’m disappointed so far. Thank god there is fast forward. Ok, fast forward through rest of crap....strainers, stir spoons, shakers, jiggers; they are all standard. Seriously. The sole takeaway is get some proper Reidel glasses. That’s the wish list.

[@MrSwordsman92]

"Maybe this episode wasn't to your taste, and I'm sorry" I would argue that this is closer to the grassroots Greg that early subscribers were drawn to in the first place! I was starting to gravitate away from these videos, but this has brought me back

[@xedmin8424]

I felt so stupid when Greg said his overalls were actually an apron

[@RobertMaxRees]

As a Certified Bourbon Steward and aspiring whiskey somme, your commentary about gifting bottles is spot on - whatever you buy will be appreciated. Ask around for suggestions and ideas. Even if it's not the recipient's favorite, they will appreciate the thought and effort. I was once gifted a bottle of Beam black label and it holds an incredibly special place in in my heart, even against my bottles of Ardbeg Traigh Bhan, Knob Creek 15, Blood Oath Pact 6, or extremely limited cask strength barrel pick obscure craft stuff. Hell, I'll even buy another bottle of that Beam black and savor it just to have that reminder of that gift. Don't overthink it - booze is ultimately about indulgence and enjoyment.

[@Cadwaladr]

I remember when I first heard of whiskey stones. I was dubious and not about to shell out $18 for some cubes of rock, so I just got some normal rocks, cleaned them, and put them in the freezer. It turns out that the specific heat capacity of rocks is very low. But I did look up the specific heat capacities of some other materials, and one of the highest is paraffin wax. I have not tried making wax cubes, but that could be an interesting thing to try.

[@KevinKos]

Liquid Inteligence by Dave Arnold is the best book if you are into mixology or if you want to learn the background of the drinks. This book helped me in a lot of creations.

[@JustSomeLamp]

Yeah I was hoping he'd mention what the issue with them is.

[@TheHammerofDissidence]

@@JustSomeLamp the issue is that they don't actually chill your drink. The reason Ice keeps a drink cold is BECAUSE of dilution. If no dilution is taking place, your drink isn't going to chill..

[@LouieWebb560]

[@RacingVagabond]

@@LouieWebb560 It will chill it slightly, but not by any noticeable amount. The problem is the stones will always warm up faster than they cool the drink.

[@MrIWannaLaugh]

May I say, Greg, how much I love your show? -I don't often imbibe, but there is a cultural literacy to alcohol that is such an intriguing joy to unravel, especially with you at the helm. "The cocktail experience" is precisely that; a philosophy you've often spoke of and delivered upon time and again... much more than a liver overwhelmed with poison. You're an educator, a merry-maker, and a Shaman of Spirits. Thank you, this holiday season and all the year, for keeping the internet's favorite bar!

Love this guide, I have no personal need for it, but it is great for showing to people I know that want more ideas on what to get me. As I prefer surprises, I don't like suggesting anything directly, and this guide can equip someone with not just specific items but more the guidelines on what to look for in quality items for the hobbyist.

Hey Greg. No idea if you'll ever see this, but I just want to say thank you for you content this year. I live in Scotland but I'm from Ireland. By US standards, I'm practically next door, but I haven't had a chance to get home since January due to travel restrictions. All throughout your videos and the pure enjoyment and craic they've brought has reminded me so much of the local pub, and cannot say how important that is to me culturally. Thank you pal, I hope you and yours have a terrific holiday season!

When I was getting into making a home bar I bought a lot of things based on what I saw on your channel. It made the experience pretty enjoyable.

[@Soundpolitic]

Honestly, when it comes to gifted bottles, I'm always pleased to get one of the spirits I keep stocked at all times in the "well" portion of my home bar. I keep those eight bottles around for a reason: they're good in cocktails and I like them. I've been gifted Rittenhouse plenty of times for my birthday or Christmas and it always makes me happy, no matter how many times I've restocked it myself that year. My advice to home bartenders is to settle on the base spirits you want in your bar, decide which bottles you always want to have around, and then when people ask what to get you as gifts, point them in that direction.

[@MrTimPhoenix]

I'm not exactly tipping open the Ark of the Covenant by saying that honesty is kind of rare on camera (period) these days, so it's well-appreciated.

[@bmwrulesforeternity5218]

I love your channel. For HighBall, .. I love glasses with a thick base of glass, .. b/c I love putting the glasses (with thick base) into the freezer .. so that when I make a cocktail, the thick glass base acts like one huge ice cube. So, one can take their time kissing their whiskey rather than rushing before the ice in the glass melts then dilutes. Also, .. I love finding cheap glasses that rich folk donate to such places as Value Village and Salvation Army (Sally Ann) etc. but one has to be real fast in the morning to coming across such a find. Sometimes glassware can be as cheap as 0.50 cents a glass which is a fraction of the original cost.

[@redburban1394]

What to thank you for the drink recipes,I usually just have a beer & shot kinda person. But with this pandemic I have been try a lot of the drinks you post.

A little tip I've found using the leopold style jigger is you have to dip your hand and then turn to pour. Think of the curve of a J if you are left handed or just reverse for righties. You drop and pull away a little as you turn the the jigger. You want your pour to follow the line of a J. With a little practice the liquor will go pretty much where you want it. The tall jiggers are definitely easier but the leopolds are nice once you get the hang of it.
