@sherribarnapurplebeanmedia6467 may have been my favourite episode to shoot, you've got a standing invitation back on anytime

@jreyman the handle helps, buuuuuut as far as I've read, the story is, the Mule was invented as a gimmick to sell and excess of copper mugs.

@@whitegmc look at me learning things, thanks

@robertcondon2742 I know, I made note of it in the description. Unfortunate situation, but the mic ran out of juice without me noticing. Rest assured, I was hilarious and insightful the rest of the way on, unfortunately, you'll have to take my word for it. Cheers!

@ILockhartI glad I could help, having finished the drink, I'd recommend dialing back the lemon juice just a touch. But the candied ginger was awesome after soaking in the Toddy! Cheers!

@@mikew6135 if I could find it in this country I very much would. Love the suggestion tho! Have a cross border trip planned for either later this month or early November, so I'll be on the lookout! Cheers!

@Hydrahandle7 good thing I don't go to meetings then, eh? Alcoholism is a serious issue, and probably not a term that should be thrown around for someone making one 2oz cocktail on a Wednesday, specifically for a cocktail channel. You don't know me or my habits, so let's limit the finger pointing and get back the finger painting, k?

Must suck to not understand when people are just having a fun time…

@@haveanotherwithEspo I'm just saying Alcohol is not the thing that makes us cool! And the room does scream, im Big time in to the licker... Ricky! Lol, But sorry if I've offended you not what I was seeking.. I'm just one comment of the millions of comments, here on TH-cam.. Don't worry about me..We all see the world different.. You see fun.. I see more hurt and confused people that need healing. Alcohol and drugs trashed everything to most of the people I know.. Hell I don't even know what kind of channel this is? Maybe for bartenders and what not.. I know nothing about the channel and just what came up on my screen.. And probably shouldn't have made comment.. But comment make you money..Why even care what some guy living in a basement thinks..

@@Asmodeushot Just blame TH-cam for showing me things I don't care to see.. If they don't want people making what you see as a negative comment.. Then they should not force feed people things they know they don't like.. TH-cam trolls people to make comments.. Good or bad.. Just now if you make a poor comment they will jail your ass, well welcome to the free world of democracy and freedom of speech till the last day! Cheers 🍻 And blessings till then..

I think we're saying a lot of the same things here. That said.... this is a cocktails and whiskey channel... Heck, one of the main reasons I got into mixing actual cocktails was to be more mindful about drinking in the first place. Rather than mindlessly slamming beers out of boredom, I'd have to actively want an alcoholic beverage. A cocktail (usually) takes some effort and a conscious decision in the making of said effort. Do I actually "want" this drink, or am I just mowing the lawn? or bored...? or thirsty? Maybe I'll just grab some water first if the answer to the first question is no. What works for me, doesn't work for everyone, but again, it works for me. Calling everyone that consumes alcohol an alcoholic however, maybe lessens the effect the words have when someone actually needs to hear it. Some food for thought

I'm not rich I can't lose my money haha

@NewsAboutWhisky close ish, Southern Ontario. Hahaha that federal border gets a touch squirrelly with that

@soot4355 lucky you! It's always MSRP here at least, but we get bottles VERY rarely. There was a drop last January i wanna say? Love it, but I save/savour it.... And rootbeer!!! Lol. giver I still have to try the mountain dew mixer version so I'm not sure I've got a leg to stand on!

@DrDooph exactly! To borrow from whiskey tribe, the best whiskey is the one you like the way you like it. (Coincidentally, damn, wish I could find a bottle of stagg or Jr anywhere around here!)

@@DrDooph sure did Doc, bought the ice sphere molds off temu for dirrrrrrt cheap

if you can find it, its totally worth the pick up, zero regrets. better old fashioned than just on ice, but hot damn, it might be my new "i'm really feeling like an old-fashioned tonight" bottle

Absolutely nothing wrong with Johnny Red, it gets a bad wrap sometimes

Thanks! Really appreciate that!

Totally agree, at end of the day, whiskey is made to be enjoyed, not starred at. While I do like having my collection, every one of these bottle is on the shelf because I'm excited to drink them. I don't drink every day, so they'll be slow going, but for the most part, I'm going to enjoy these with good friends. There's a bit of hyperbole to this list in the first place, but the biggest fib is the "impress your friends bottle" while I LOVE breaking out the Four Roses Single for my friends who enjoy whiskey, I'd much rather experience a new bottle that I'm excited about with a friend or two than on my own. Thanks for the comment!

Hahaha, don't worry about Potato, she owns it

And I learned something today. I said a couple of the others were Jim Beam products as well, despite being other _____hyphen-beam spots, was probably waaaaaay off there too. Thanks for letting me know!

One taker, absolutely mis-spoke hahaha, thanks tho! Glad there's people paying attention!

well thanks!

Is what stolen?

Well thanks!

It's fantastic, especially in mixing. I'm going to try this again with the Roe & Co (highly recommend btw) but the Bushmills did great things in this cocktail! Thanks for coming by!

I does what I can for ya fella. Lol

Hey! That's awesome, unfortunately, up here we're somewhat are the mercy of the LCBO in what we can find. I've got an order in with a friend and his whiskey group currently to bring in a few bottles from out of province, but finding any single barrel bourbons in Ontario (outside of four roses, which I adore, and blantons, which is suuuuuuper allocated) is nearly impossible. I'll be heading to the states in a few months tho, so I'll keep an eye out for it. How would you describe AM Scott? Are there any comparables for you? Maybe even style wise? Cheers!

Thanks! Don't be shy, let me.know if there's anything else you want to see me try

Thanks coach!

Thanks @newlandsdw750! Don't be shy, let me know if there's anything you're wanting to see made! Cheers!

Thank you! And of course, I just hadn't had a chance to update the description yet! Cheers

Got the description up. Got a little wordy for a solo cocktail video, but I tried to keep the directions early on in the typing. Cheers!

I think I do too now, tried making one when I was much younger, not sure if my palette wasn't quite there yet, or if I just made a terrible Gimlet back then... this one* was fantastic... *there was more than one...

Thanks!

Thanks! Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see, I'll try to work it in

Appreciate that, I'm still kinda learning the ropes

Thanks! A lot of the mocktails, so far, have been punchbowl types, and I've scaled them down to single serve drinks when I can (some ratios won't really allow for it) But a lot of these would be great in a self-serve party setting. Cheers!

I've gotta be in the right mood for one, but it hits so hard every time I am

Thanks!

Hahaha not quite, she looks pushy, but she's a sweetie, mostly lookin for attention

I feel like I've rectified that several times over

I got a big old whiff of grapefruit on the nose when I brought it up to try and thought "uh oh... this isn't going to be for me" and was legitimately stunned at how much I enjoyed it! I used St Germain in that one, but the LCBO sells an elderflower liqueur from McGuinness that's slightly different, but its also half the price ($25.05 vs $49.95 for a 750ml bottle)

Great to hear! I figured I'd start as basic as possible and work my way up. I want to like Manhattan's more, but i'm not a huge vermouth guy... either way, we're going to try a few things and see where they go! Cheers!
