    I like the pop up video style tips and facts, I don’t think any other cocktail channels are doing this

    I 1000% agree with "limit to 5 cocktails" on a menu. Last year I built a tiki menu with 10 options....less experienced drinkers were overwhelmed by the options and just went with the easiest-sounding drink, AND I spent all night throwing bottles around. This year I am doing some pre-mix drinks in bottles (Blue Hawaii, Mai Tai) so people can just grab a 6.5 oz pour from the cooler OR have the option for a freshly shaken drink.

    I love these videos. When he was talking about different categories of cocktails, it reminded me of something I often think about, "Cocktail Menu Syntax". Do you have a seasonal template you often use to decide how many of which style of cocktail with which spirits for each menu?

      In the past, we have generally heard that referred to as “wireframing.” This link has some more info on it: www.drinkmagazine.asia/2018/12/30/how-the-dead-rabbit-develops-its-world-famous-cocktail-menus/

    This episode was AMAZING! I’m hosting a cocktail party in two weeks and will definitely take all of this advice!

    Thanks for talking about plactic reduction! Lots of restaurant supply shops have wood spoons and forks, plates made from palm leaves, and compostable cups now. If you can't use washable utensils and cups, there are good options out there.

    I like doing a non alcoholic punch with different liquor available so add what you want. That way I am not making drinks and can enjoy myself too

      This is always a pretty solid move. Especially if you are keeping the bottles of booze on ice, so they don't warm up the punch ;-)

      Oh man! We were on a good roll there for a bit. But hopefully soon once it’s back in stock here in California 😭

    Muricuns & their crazy stupid red plastic cups
    Get melamine or acrylic reusable cups
    I slashed my foot on a shard of glass at a daytime event in Ibiza: the Loser Host had ordered an ambulance in hand, but *I got charged for the fucking ambulance €300 instead of him calling the taxi, as I requested* I’m still pissed about it, 4 years later
