Hey Kevin, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos. I am writing a book on NA cocktails and I have to say that you're probably my biggest teacher for everything that gets a bit specific. You also have in my opinion the best overall quality of videos and cocktail presentations on the youtube bartending category, they are really a treat for the eye, not only for the curiosity of bartenders. Looking forward to learn even more with you! Cheers
I think I'll be getting that gift for myself. You never stop coming up with awesome stuff. Can't wait to see what 2025 brings. Hey why don't you guys do a best of show at the end of the year? Like which cocktails were your favorites and which were most viewed or liked. Like when TV shows do a clip show. A full episode with half the work.
Thats a great idea actualy! Thank you so much! Also treat yourself with a gift from specialingredients. I will make sure there will be plenty of more recipes where to use it. Cheers!
I happen to have the malic acid from these guys for my super juice. Great products! Are the citrus flavour drops concentrations of the peel oils like essential oils are?
I am happy to hear that! They have amazing stuff. Regarding your question about the flavoring drops. I asked them and they answered: "Flavour Drops are made from various parts of the fruit including peel but the process is different from the oils. We would recommend Flavour Drops are used for water based liquids and oils for oil based liquids."
@ much love for Canadians! We are actually looking into starting up operations in US / Canada. We can ship there as of today, but it will be shipped from the UK at the moment. We’ll let you know once we open up shop there.
I learn and take my Inspiration from Kevin. But where does he get all this knowledge from? Without Kevin Kos I would never have heard of so much Bar stuff and techniques, etc.
Exactly! books an learning from other bartenders. Sharing knowledge is important and I learn from you as much as you learn from me. I believe this is what makes this community so special, lettting knowledge to grow in such way.
I know you nearly every time doing thinks witj alcohol but can you make video how to make a strawberry soda and say which is the better your or strawberry fanta
Hi Kevin, this was a very informative video but please reconsider the use of AI to create your theme song. It sounds tacky and cheap and doesnt reflect your craftsmanship or your channels sophisticated vibe. If you want something unique, im sure theres a local composer who would appreciate your support and provide you with a much more fitting and pleasant song for your channel. Cheers
Considering the amount of people watching this channel I think he makes more than enough effort here. Hiring a composer just so 0,1% of this community would appreciate it is an overkill
@@brylecielwhile I agree that hiring another person would be a lot - potentially a bit much - the use of generative AI does reflect rather poorly. The channel had a perfectly functional, catchy opening theme before, and replacing it with AI-generated schlock is at the very best in poor taste, and at the worst completely unethical (I think the real answer is somewhere in the middle).
Generative AI does not just entail using AI to simplify processes; the channel is an expression of an art form, and using AI to "create" all or part of it, and then pass it off as your own art in the final product, is deeply misguided. Regardless of how much effort goes into the other parts of the channel.
Thank you all for your feedback! We were already in the process of getting a new intro, which was performed by a very talented artist. We were so excited to share the new intro that we decided not to wait for the original version of the intro music. However, since the channel is dedicated to the craft and supporting the local community, we all agreed it would be best to wait for the latest version before revealing it to the public. So stay tuned for today's drop, where the intro will appear even better!
So sorry to hear that. They are planning to expand to more markets in the following years. Hopefully there will be an option for you too. Thank you for watching the episode! 🥂
@@KevinKosnot your fault of course. Get everything here is so frustrating, and some stuff like n2o are impossible to get. But I watch all your video. You are doing a great job
@@SirCoran so sorry to hear. And we do not have any plans yet to open up shop in Japan. However, we have other customers that organize their logistics and pick up orders at our warehouse in the Netherlands. If you want, we could look into that and see what the options are. Let us know if you’d like to discuss.
