Loving the videos!

[@brianherman503]

Nice music choice!

[@AngryCocktails]

Homemade cordials/syrups are the best!

[@makeanddrink]

Yes sir! The only thing I don’t mess around with is Orgeat. I’ve made homemade almond milk before and it’s not the most fun process, so I’ll stick to my Liber & Co… at least until that bottle runs out!

[@alexgilbert99]

You gotta try Jeff’s tonic syrup recipe! I used the version in @how to drink ‘s video ‘I just had the best drink I’ve ever had|How to drink’ and it came out amazing!

[@robmichaels4728]

For the citric acid: the 1 oz is approx. 30mL by volume, or 25 grams by weight

Big ups to @TomBuck. He happened to post a “overhead camera with a c-stand” just a couple days ago and I just so happened to have one already in the exact right spot. Didn’t have to move a thing.

[@alexgilbert99]

Jeffrey Morganthaler called for 1.5oz cordial and 2oz gin, but just messing around due to personal taste I definitely like the 1:2 ratio better. One of my favorite drinks, I've always got a bottle of JM Lime Cordial in my fridge for when I want a nice drink but don't want to make something complicated.

[@makeanddrink]

Curious to know if you’ve had any mold/taste issues and how long it lasts. This was my first batch so it will take some time to figure that out… if it lasts!

[@alexgilbert99]

@@makeanddrink honestly it never lasts that long in my fridge, I think it’ll last about a month. My mark is if it’s growing stuff you should probably throw it out 😂

[@alexgilbert99]

@@makeanddrink I'm working on a recipe book for personal reference and I was looking through Jeffrey recipe on his website and he says in his comment section for this recipe that it will last indefinitely in the fridge.

[@makeanddrink]

@@alexgilbert99 I'm loving it. I keep taking little sips of it from the fridge and it's impossible not to make a face. It's so tart in the best way possible. Looking forward to trying it in a marg

[@alexgilbert99]

@@makeanddrink you should do a video trying the cordial in different drinks! Only experimenting I’ve done is adding some tonic water to a gimlet, kinda like a more intense G&T.
