Vlad, and Steve and you are my favorites

[@StevetheBartender_]

Loved this video!! Great compilation and thank you for the mentions! 🎉

[@BehindtheBar]

Thanks Steve! And don’t worry, I have your back in the great Chambers/SOTB debate 😜

[@official3s620]

Yesss😎😎got very excited when you mentioned steve and his little smile😂should definitely make a video together tho. Top 10 cocktails ever or something

[@HYITHO]

you guys should do a collab!

[@mattiatiozzo2010]

Ah yes the ultimate australian bartending duo

[@BugsyTB89]

Steve you are great bro keep up the awesome work

[@wojomojo]

Love that you are calling out the other cocktail channels as each host brings something to the bar, but you are still my fav!

[@BehindtheBar]

Aw shucks! But yeah, so much great content between everybody, and really different styles as well 😊

[@trevorkleiner7]

Your mention Greg, and suddenly you're spilling ingredients on the bar. Coincidence? I think not...

[@BehindtheBar]

😂 I was actually genuinely really rusty for this one, not been behind an actual bar since March...

[@RuairiGilles]

Brilliant!!!!

[@treyokelly3520]

Pulling a Greg 😂 HTD and Behind the Bar are my favorite cocktail channels or whatever you wanna call them

[@bandabanderos]

Started with Steve, found Vlad along the way, and ended here. I don’t think I need any more cocktail knowledge than this amazing trio can provide. All three are excellent channels and provide their own flavour in presentation. Well done 👍

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you so much pal!

[@thomassheen]

That’s exactly my journey too!

[@alexpiedra24]

Much respect to all three but I highly recommend checking out Leandro from the educated barfly , he really dives into the cocktail history .

[@thomassheen]

Alejandro Piedra I also have seen him along the way- just couldn’t get used to him

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks bandabanderos!!

When I want to watch a video on cocktails it's always between Behind the Bar, and How To Drink. I'm subscribed to the both of you ! Always a fun time.

[@BehindtheBar]

He’s a legend!

[@RAULBARTENDER]

amazing!

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you!

[@MrRykage]

I love how you have basically the entire video in the description so people don't actually have to watch the whole video. But we still choose to watch because you're awesome.

[@RemyVorender]

I love how you put out the TH-cam Cocktail Brotherhood Batsignal on this one. The comradery made me grin ear to ear. :)

[@BehindtheBar]

Stay tuned for a little more...

[@TheDentist09]

This Channel is one of the best things that hapened to me in 2020.

[@BehindtheBar]

Aw thanks pal!

[@productivityvibes5115]

you should be the one the most followed drinking channels honestly, quality is great, you introduced me to new drinks but also spins on favorites, and you got me into gin, cant ever go back to vodka now

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you for the kind words Ryan, and so glad to hear you’re a gin convert!

[@FortunateJuice]

It's cool that all the hip bartending channels share their content with each other. We need more of that in the world. Cheers.

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha I don’t know I’ve ever been called hip before but I’ll take it! These guys are all great and have been really supportive of us starting out 😊

[@brand_the_man]

I’m obsessed with your videos and you’ve made me start thinking “I wish I had become a bartender.” Please keep them coming!

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you Brandon, it’s a pretty fun job b it also very hard work haha - nice to have something like this to spread the love 😊

Thanks mate! 😁

Выпуск огонь, обожаю Вас

[@TheCronedoggy]

Your voice and demeanor are so chill. I love learning cocktails from this channel.

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha the practiced calm of someone who has to deal with beer gas going out when you’re 5 deep at the bar and someone has just broken glass...

[@elisaninis]

I knew I had seen that outfit before, it was the background to when my eyes were glued to the expresso martini video!
Absolutely love every single one of then!
Thank you for making all these amazing cocktails for us!

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you Elisa!

I have had really good luck making my own coffee liquer with 50/50 Goslings and simple syrup loaded with Nescafe dark roast instant to taste.

[@powerplayer1234561]

Would love to see a colab with Steve! He likes (kinda) to do shots videos, you may could do one together - that probably would be great fun! For your viewers, at least... 😂

[@BehindtheBar]

I’m sure it would be great fun!

This is a fabulous list and hats off to the Research department. I just made my first Espresso Martini and love it. All good drinks on the list. Some I have made, some are waiting for the day in the sun. Cheers!

Captivating. Never thought I would wish my life away in wait of a new installment...guess I should go pour a drink.

😂

[@konradkurz8353]

I love the top 13 concept and how you put it together! Brilliantly done. You weren't kidding when you said you had prepped a lot of cocktails for a new project! And I enjoy that it allows a subtle shout out to other channels in the bartending community. I also like your discussion of how TH-cam presents cocktails and will work harder to support channels that support the classics. Top quality content! Bravo!

[@BehindtheBar]

Thanks pal! I don’t think we were trying to make any point about what videos to watch or not watch, just pointing out that TH-cam is a funny beast haha. It was a pretty epic shoot but turned out well in the end 😊

[@abrilbedoya9274]

Of all the cocktail channels, this is my favorite, classic, fun, simple and with a charming host. That long island tea looks wild! I've never had one and I don't think I would 😂

[@BehindtheBar]

So glad you enjoyed Abril! Haha yeah it’s a bit of an odd one...

[@a_monayyyyyy]

omg I applauded after the espresso martini. just fabulous.

4:37 I like that one with a bit of Martini Bianco.

[@Aldo_The_Apache76]

That is a weird michelada. Can’t wait to try it!

Haha thanks pal!

[@kavinmaharaj9070]

Really interesting videos! Enjoy your personal touch with Aussie spirits...as a Melbournian I can't wait to get out and check out Bomba! Walk past it every day for 2 years without seeing what its about. Great vid!

[@BehindtheBar]

Thanks pal! Fingers crossed we can get back up and running before too long...

[@gintonic5770]

I think I first stumbled upon this channel, when I was looking on how to make a Negroni. I just got recently interested into making Cocktails by watching a rundown of the 50 Classic Cocktails by Epicurious.
I must say, I have seen a few videos on Cocktails, but once I came here it kinda stuck with me. Wether it's the magnificent production quality, the helpful tips on how to make certain ingredients (like syrups and such) and most definitely your charming presentation style, I really like it here! :3
A big thanks to you, Cara, Josh and everyone involved in this channel. You all have truly created a "safe space" for all things booze and the history of it (at least for me :)).

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you so much for the kind words pal, means a lot!

[@aadiritz]

Great content!

[@jonstrongman3292]

Thanks for the recipes in the show notes. I was surprised to see a couple I haven’t heard of.

[@vincentkiu694]

I really like cosmopolitan. Easy and fun to make at home.

[@dwightlewis9457]

I love watching all your videos

[@AngryCocktails]

This was an epic video. And you also pointed me to a few channels I hadn't seen before. Cheers!

[@Riccardo_Mori]

1. Thanks for the Bloody Mary! It looks delicious. Looking forward to its own dedicated video.
2. Always nice to hear the proper pronunciation of Worcester Sauce. ;-)
3. Favourite moment: when you take out Thor's hammer to bash the ice. Come to think of it, "Hammer on Ice" sounds like a good name for a strong, boozy cocktail!
I sincerely hope one day you'll get to a million subscribers (and more). Totally deserved. Cheers, and thank you.

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha on that Hammer it actually says ‘Lachy’s hitting stick’- a supervisor who used to work for my liked to run his shifts with an iron...hammer 😜

[@pelsted]

I've been enjoying your videos. You bring a light , down to earth perspective to making cocktails. You also enlighten me to many spirits that I knew nothing about. I do believe a visit to Bomba is in order, Looking forward to your next video. " So now you know"

[@BehindtheBar]

Thanks so much Michael!

[@nathannolk9764]

I love all these channels but yours is definitely my favorite.

Wow. Great idea for a video, Cara. So brilliant I can't believe nobody thought of it before you. Nice of you to spread the wealth and love around and introducer viewers to the other channels.

[@BehindtheBar]

This one was all Josh (behind the camera!) but definitely a fun idea 😊

[@TheEdsonLA]

There are many cocktails that are popular in every major city..in LA..very few on your list show up. (3 total)..considering they're seasonal and popular everywhere..your video is a fair rep of what popular cocktails are on Youtbue..As you know TH-cam's search engine and results engine varies from country to country, city to city ;)!

[@lesbutler273]

A thoroughly enjoyable summary.

[@jimmyjazz4605]

Awesome video 👌 Love the shout outs to other content creators

[@paulbegansky5650]

Outstanding video...all except the coffee drinks....i am in on each. Yes. I found the mojito when seeing others drink it. Long Island is my favorite but lately the Moscow Mule is gaining. Bring on the apps...

[@rickardmoberg1525]

Fun list! Smart way to make a top 12 list interesting 👍

[@meglahey480]

Great video! In case anyone wants to see the Tipsy Bartender vid, it’s still showing up at facebook(found it using search). Very pretty! I found the TB via FB and think he’s fun to watch but overall Steve, Greg and you have more informative videos. Tipsy really is his own thing compared to most other channels 😄

[@BehindtheBar]

Oh great, thanks for that! And totally, his videos are so fun but as I said, it just felt weird for me to try and show you how to make a cocktail I have no idea how to make haha- leave it to the expert!

[@NigelDeForrest-Pearce-cv6ek]

Brilliant!!!

[@brainrottedindividual]

people over here don't dig cream in their white russians, so what we do is shake up lactosefree milk with a slinky from a strainer and one icecube. this doesn't work with the fresh milk we got from the farmer for some reason, only with the lactosefree one. the milk comes out very viscose and frothy. i'd recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to use cram or half half in their white russians. still have to find a vegan milk where that is gonna work with. i like the addition of the macadamia liqueur. a lot of bars in my city will put a little float of 43 liqueur or maybe even frangelico on top of their white russians, which is also a nice twist.

[@tybaldt]

Very generous to link to and continually plug other channels. Thank you

[@BehindtheBar]

Honestly most of them are bigger than us but we’ve learnt a lot from them so always like to give credit where it’s due!

[@monoyamono]

Great idea. Look forward to some potential collaborations

[@Mark_Wood]

what a great piece!

[@chicobicalho5621]

Here is what I feel would be a great episode for this channel; a Latin America blowout to promote both happiness and tipsiness. And here it is:
(1) Margherita + (2) Pisco Sour + (3) Caipirinha, none of which (luckily) on this rather silly list. But these three very popular drinks, pretty much cover
the entire geographical area of Latin America, which is saying a lot. And, I ensure this noble audience, they are really amazing as a group.

[@martinkillerofthesacreddee5422]

Kept it very entertaining for close to 27 minutes. Thought I was only watching for 5 minutes. Thanks for the great content as always.

[@BehindtheBar]

Thanks Martin! It is a bit of a beast but tried to keep it zippy, and we’ll be doing longer edits of most of the cocktails with a bit more info 😊

[@jconnor1943]

Not a popular drink but my favorite is the French 75. Everyone I make this for loves it. It's ninety degrees outside and I'm having one now, the best way to begin the evening . Cheers.

[@BehindtheBar]

Excellent drink!

[@zzanenghi]

Love the channel. Cara is a charming, witty delight to learn from.

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you Zane!

[@troporobo]

I used to think that I was a Michelada purist. Today I learned I've been doing it wrong! Thanks for a great recipe. Now I know!

[@BehindtheBar]

Oh no this is an unauthentic version haha! There will be a longer edit where we discuss this but in Mexico it’s closer to just lager and lime juice over ice most places.

[@troporobo]

@@BehindtheBar I was pulling your leg a bit! I've had them all kinds of ways and depending on where you are in Mexico they are simpler (and never with mezcal or tequila) I just found this version very tasty! There's no real consensus but fans of the drink would say that lime, beer, Taijin is a chelada, and Worstershire, Taijin, Maggi, lime, hot sauce, and beer is a michelada, and if you add tomato juice or clamato it's an oyo rojo (red eye). Putting ice in any of these is controversial. I like them all.

[@PaulPlaceway]

Thank you! That Piña Colada was just as you said it would be: simple. And also not too sweet. Very nice! (I made mine with 1 oz Rhum Barbancourt, and 3/4 oz Wray & Nephew Overproof. Worked nicely.)

[@BehindtheBar]

You made one already?! Good job!

[@vaettra1589]

"Moorish" - a style of architecture common in Spain from the 13th to 16th centuries; characterized by the horseshoe (Moorish) arch. Yup, sounds about what I'm looking for after a big night out!

[@somedude1766]

I'm surprised the Margarita did not make the list, That seems to be the most popular cocktail in my neck of the woods

[@amedyr863]

I was very surprised! It's one of my favorites..

[@BehindtheBar]

I’m sure it would have if we’d done an average across lots of channels rather than looking at particularly popular videos on specific ones...as we said, highly unscientific haha. We have already covered it here as well:

But a video on variations is definitely due!

[@meditapolis]

Hi! Big Fan from Spain here! I’ve realized that you use some Spanish drinks and brands. I love Expresso Martini and other Coffee-related cocktails, and I always make them with Spanish Coffee Liqueur (called Licor de Café). It’s slightly different from the usual Kahlua and I trully recommend it if you have the chance!

[@BehindtheBar]

I’ll have to see if we can get it here!

90ml prosecco
30ml Aperol
30ml Campari
30ml Soda

[@BehindtheBar]

I like a Campari one too!

[@sonnysoto8337]

For the Michelada we don't use Mezcal and Agave. We just use your favorite Mexican beer. We also use Clamato instead of tomato juice.

[@jamesprice4647]

I'm amazed the Manhattan isn't there! I have to say I find Aperol rather bland - in Italy they also use Campari for Spritz and I'd recommend using a bit more Prosecco / Cava (whatever) if you are at home.
But what a wonderful channel this is!
And I use Cocchi and Rittenhouse (when I am splurging) for my Manhattan ...

I apologize for nitpicking. The Long Island Iced should have the cola mixed in. I like to add the cola last and stir it in until it is the color of tea. Thus the Tea in the drinks name.

[@BehindtheBar]

Nitpick away, this is just how I do it! I completely understand where the tea comes from but it all ends up mixed together anyway and guests think it looks cool when I serve it this way. Maybe I’d have a problem if I bartended in the US, but here we’re not too pedantic about it haha!

Thanks for the list, some were totally new, some were old “friends” I should have seen the L.I.I.T coming but it took me by surprise. Something else took me by surpise. I have had Long Islands in bars, clubs and restaurants all over Sydney and its suburbs and never has there been a sugar syrup component, all the sweetness was provided by the Cointreau and the Coke filler. Adding that much syrup seems like it would make it very oversweet. But thank you and thanks Josh for all the hard spying, I mean research.He deserves a drink.

[@BehindtheBar]

I also add a full shot of lemon juice- the sugar and Cointreau add up to the same amount of sour, plus the coke and and booze. I tend to find folks prefer this drink a little on the sweeter side but of course leave out if you prefer 😊

[@gabrielstrong2186]

@@BehindtheBar well yes, the lemon juice is a given I was just surprised as it has never been in any of the versions I have bought but HTD Greg’s, Smilin’ Steve’s and now yours have all included it it just seemed odd. Thnks for the reply and keep doing what you are doing. Stay safe especially.
