    Hey! Jeff the bartender here. FYI, Dutch Kills has opened a cocktails-to-go window in NYC during the shutdown. If you’re in the area, swing by for a drink! Your support means the world. Hope everyone’s staying safe. ❤️ All your comments are hilarious btw. As for how many drinks were consumed and by whom - I’m taking the Fifth.

    How to know someone’s a bartender:
    1. Their breath smells like absinthe
    2. They can hold ice with their bare hands for an incredibly long time.

      As a bartender, I really hate it when my clients know nothing about cocktails and spirits, and always complain about the amount of ice that I put in them. "If I want a drink that's completely diluted with ice, I'll just go to McDonald's, and it won't be as pricey as your bar!".
      Psh.

    Hey, for the caipirinha, the traditional way is to use white sugar. It gives a crunchy and sweet addition to just syrup! It's true that we don't shake it much, or sometimes not at all, but the sugar is important. For one whole persian lime, you use 2 tablespoons of sugar, one for shaking and one for mixing in the glass after you pour it all. Of course, cachaça is added (I use two ounces and a splash).the sugar doesn't dissolve completely, that's why some people even use a coarser type of sugar to bring the crunch to the next level!

      Unfortunately that isn't how a Bramble is actually made. The creater in London has taught the drink to people who want to know the real recipe. First you don't muddle the berries they are a decoration. It is built in the glass not shaken at all. And it is lemon juice and simple syrup it was a cube of sugar to muddle with lemon in the glass but you can use sugar syrup. Then gin is poured in stirred with crushed ice then the ice is topped off like a fix then it has creme de mure' poured on top to drip down to form the look of Bramble stems that hold the blackberries bench the name and garnish is lemon wedge down the side and blackberries on top. It's a English Cocktail and please make correctly. People who know will send that thing back. Because it doesn't taste as good. And it's a experience and subtle changes as you drink it.

      MrHoliday yes, this is why it’s 100% worth it to save your “getting totally blasted” nights for drinking at home, and keep your “casually drinking a couple craft cocktails” nights at the bar. If you’re going for a great tasting cocktail it’s worth your money to head to an upscale bar or lounge, but if you just want to get very drunk you’ll save money by doing it at home :)

      The measurements are all there, its not measured to the glass its measured to the recipe. The ice is to dilute the drink the desired amount to created a more palatable flavor. If you want a cocktail without ice or not diluted with ice at all, just let the bartender know. But don't expect extra alcohol. It will taste stronger if thats what you want.

    One of my friend's a bartender & to some it does sound a job that you wouldn't care at first but Dude runs the place like no one. Appreciate his work & he's too a crack. Just like you Jeff , he does the job with Passion & love of drinks. He's a well Educated Man as well but & it soothes me how he's doing the thing he always wanted to do

I first learned to make it with grenadine or maraschino, but I like this rendition that doesn't have either! That said....tonight I decided to make it with our local distillery's "Plum Gin" and let me tell you!!! MWAH!!! delicious!!
