I'm the kind of person that will sit and watch someone do their job for hours just learning all I can about what they do and how they do it, and for some reason right now bartenders are so fascinating. Also, thanks for putting the camera on your chest and not on your head. The top of head view just gives me motion sickness.
Nice Video and Good vibes 👍🏽 I am a Barkeeper my self and am really interested in how you are interecting with the customers. To get them maybee thinking about anothere drink or two. Best wishes from Germany✌🏽🥃
I've worked in high-end cocktail bars as head-bartender and bar manager, and can confidently say that I would order a beer at David's bar and it amazes me that he hasn't been fired yet. There are so many mistakes with recipes, efficiency, mise-en-place that even beginners should know. These videos annoy me because they show someone who wants the clout of being a 'mixologist' without having put in the hours at an actual high end establishment and because they are impressionable to the next generation of bartenders and teach all the wrong things. Examples: At 26:36, David starts to make a "Mojito" in a shaker with "60ml white rum, 30ml sugar syrup, 15ml lime juice, soda" [taken from his other video 'NON$$TOP FRIDAY NIGHT']. These ratios do not work because you're essentially getting sugar tasting rum with a little bit of lime and bitter mint. Mojito should be built in a highball with ~10 mint leaves muddled with 45/50ml rum, 30ml lime juice, 15-20ml sugar. You want to only lightly muddle and definitely not shake as when mint is beaten it releases chlorophyll which has a bitter taste and ruins the drink. Other things that tell me David hasn't been trained properly. - Drinks should be made in order of least expensive to most expensive to minimise wastage in case of incorrectly pouring. - There is never any tasting of cocktails after making them. We taste them EVERY time to ensure that the drink is not - under diluted, over diluted, too sour, too sweet, or just plain wrong, and if these are being sold at ~$20 per drink. I want to make sure they are worth the customers money. - Juices and ingredients are left to sit on the back bar in plain view of the customer. You're telling the customer that you bought these ingredients where they buy their groceries and that you're ripping them off. People do not want to see this when they just paid $20 for a drink which took David 4 minutes to make. - Drinks in this video are often left to sit with ice in them whilst other drinks are being prepared... leading to over dilution and a watery drink. - We are drilled to be doing things with both hands at all times - whilst shaking, whilst cleaning, whilst chatting to guests etc etc. Only watch this channel if you like the sound of a guy making drinks whilst you study, don't use it for educational material. It's all wrong.
Did the maths once, tasting every drink on a busy shift (with a straw dab) would equate to a little over 1 drink over 8-10+ hours. Not enough to touch the sides over that period of time.
Love these videos for some reason their so relaxing
Glad you like them!
I feel like I already watched this, I don’t think you realized you posted this video 9 days ago lol

Oh wow, thanks for the tips man..yeah I’m not a pro bartender..just learning as I go! Vlogging my bartending journey
Do you not get drunk if you're tasting every drink you make?
