    @DarrellSCady 11 місяців тому +1

    I've never heard of the Crimson Clover before here; one of my favorites is the Clover Club. Have you ever tried this with lavender bitters instead?
    Also, where or how do you get dried raspberry powder and what other ingredients can dried X powder be made with?

    • @zzzyyyxxx
      @zzzyyyxxx 11 місяців тому

      Yeah it seems similar to a Clover Club but with whiskey instead of gin. My favorite is also the Clover Club so I'm gonna have to try this one out.

    • @StevenD215
      @StevenD215 11 місяців тому +1

      Not sure this is how they got it, but I would just buy some freeze dried fruits and blend it up to make a powder.

    If you want them as cold as possible, why not chill the glass as well?

    • @Isaac_L..
      @Isaac_L.. Місяць тому

      Completely agree here and I've started chilling my glasses for almost all my cocktails (I used to just do it for coups). A lot of times for photography people won't chill glasses since it has that cloudy look and isn't crystal clear for the camera. That could be why they didn't do it here. I'm surprised he mentions the fine mesh strainer warming up a drink (it won't, and if your worried about it you could just keep it chilled) but didn't mention chilled glassware.

  • @sergheimocan1356
    @sergheimocan1356 4 місяці тому

    The choice of glasses is...not perfect. Should always be a full glass when you make a cocktail!

    • @Isaac_L..
      @Isaac_L.. Місяць тому

      For service a slightly less than full glass is usually ideal so that there's a reduced risk of spilling. Obviously certain glass designs this is more of a problem than others. If it's a martini glass, filling it up to the lip of the glass will almost guarantee spillage, if it's a coup or nick and nora it's a lot more manageable, if it's a Collins with ice then it's not a problem at all.
