    Let me tell you something, the two cocktail videos got me into a deep dark rabbithole into the history and the art of mixology. It's just so fascinating how much lore a profession which at the surface seems so insignificant has and how much tie in it has with much of the historical events which we are taught in school, and how much it can tie in with how our society has shifted over the decades and continues to.

    I want to comment before I finish, first because I appreciate your suggesting a Boulevardier as a canvas to experiment with (DC bartender name of Rose taught me to add a barspoon of Benedictine), but mostly because I'm past bedtime and may not finish. Amigo, I truly appreciate your approach. If you have a channel of your own, I would follow. Been tracking woman and Asian bartenders, but would equally like to track Black bartenders of historical significance, so thank for that bit on Stone sours. Keep up the good work, keep the faith, and be well.

    Hey, French person here. Your pronounciation for the "Vieux Carré" is not that bad actually. =) But if you want to make it sound more french, you could insist more on the 'i' in vieux, and separate more the word in two syllabus (vi-eux).

    there are so many ways this concept can be expanded!!!!!
    instead of just the commentary you can invite a guest. Doesn't have to be a popular personality or anything.
    You can bring the grandpa from checking the kitchen gadgets or just some random person.(Most preferably someone with a unique taste to them or just old people. They usually have so much to say)
    If you are concerned that the video might end up being too long, you can prepare a set of questions to ask them like how they really got into doing what they are doing, how their parents reacted to them doing this job initially (like being a bar tender is usually not something a parent might think their kid might end up doing) when they first discovered their passion etc:- by asking questions in between, this video can become a bit more personal.
    If you do end up implementing it, I just want you to tell the grandpa from testing kitchen gadgets that i love him sooooooooooo much and given him a little bonus for this idea.
    Thank You

    Some things in the video are not super "traditional", such as the old fashioned being stirred and not built, but I hope this goes to show that you don't necessarily need to be "right" in every way when enjoying cocktails. Stir your old fashioned. Maybe try your martini actually 'shaken and not stirred'. If there is a way that deviates from the original method and it tastes good, then thats another right way to do it.

      Good point, but isn't it necessary to double his bitters quantity because he is using a japanese dasher? The other dashers (i.e. the small angostura bottle) are dropping much more bitters ...

      Eh he's like 80-90% on the mark. At least he didn't just pour everything in like a slob and forget the orange peel that adds the fragrance and adds to the flavor.
