DAMN! I finally made it and was able to upload that video. If you follow my community posts, you know I struggled big time with the render of that video. Finally made it happen but had to sacrifice the 4k. Hope you will find the video useful my friends, thanks for your patience and help for those who gave me tips on how to solve my rendering problems. CHEERS!!!
P.S. Links to my favourite bartools in the show notes. Have a good one!
I happy the video is finally here and it is totally worth waiting. Great job!
Looks like the export worked!! Awesome! Must have been nerve wrecking. Thank you for creating all this awesome content!
@@TornadoTwins The journey was endless!
The video looks 4k, you can’t tell
You really nailed it on the mixing glass "gling gling gling" ;-)
This is a great breakdown on the tools of the trade. For home use and professional use. Especially the reasoning on why you prefer to use a specific tool versus just using a tool that you might buy off the shelf. Great tips for everyone.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the detailed explanations. I was afraid some would find it too long.
OXO makes a cobbler shaker with a rubber gasket that prevents the shaker from siezung up.
Great for home use. Yes I know the other model is more professional
This was so helpful for a person who wants to get into home "bartending". Thank you!
Next video idea: Glassware !
Hey Maxim! Thank you so much! I'm really glad this video helped you! Hope you will have fun with this home bartending project.
10:15 I often use the muddler to make levelled cocktails : i add syrup first (for example hibiscus) and i pour, on the twisted side of my spoon (turned, muddler side oriented to the bottom of the glass) the rest of the cocktail (a mix of of grapefruit, gin and lime juice) and finally tonic (still pour on the twisted part).
The flat part of the muddler stops the fall of the liquid and i get better results for my layered cocktails.
Thks for the video !!
I always used the back of the barspoon to layer my shots. But this makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks you're welcome !! I think it's better for high glasses such as highball especially
The glass cobbler shaker does look fantastic. Makes your videos more beautiful.
The trident on the barspoon is to spear anyone who asks you to make a vodka martini
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Or to jab at servers/guests trying to stick their fingers in your garnishes
This by far is the best video on Bar Tools I have seen so far. Regarding the bar-spoons, indeed it is a personal approach, but for me the spoon length is determined by the height of your mixing glass, more than any other thing. But I guess having a couple bar spoons is a better options. :@)
I often use the muddling part of the spoon for layering shots or other drinks - works better for me compared to the spoon side.
Amazing video. Glad it is finally ready and out. Cheers!
Thanks a lot mate. That's a good way lead people on their choice for the lenght of the spoon. Thanks for that. Cheers!
the muddler you are talking about on the barspoon section is really useful if you want to make levels on a drink, at least thats how i use it!
Love the video man, really helps me out. Much love from Italy 🇮🇹✌️
Great! I’m really glad it does!
Rocky reference in your nickname?
@@stefanox8908 it's more a Siffredi reference...
@@matteo-er1lm un po' me l'aspettavo in realtà
@@stefanox8908 ah ma sei italiano😂😂
10:15 I didn't know that this end was called a muddler end, and i'm not really into putting force on a bar spoon to muddle things. I use this end to do layered drinks like B52.
You’re probably right. I guess I don’t make enough layered shots, this didn’t even cross my mind 😆
As usual great content!!! I'm opening my own cafe soon and your content has been more than useful!! Thanks for the effort and keep it up!!
I saw Japanese bartenders using the fork side of the barspoon for poking on cut citrus. You poke it in the citrus and squeeze with the fork in, straight in to the glass.
That could be a thing. Still not convinced ;)
Thanks for good videos 🙏 I love the glass shaker 😍 where can I buy it?
After pumping up my cooking-Game in the last 5 years I think it's time to work on my drinks-game. I might have found the perfect channel!
Thanks 🙏 Wonderful to hear we might inspire you! Welcome on board! Cheers
AWESOME!!!! I actually learned something today!!!! I love your reasoning behind some of these tools. Thanks!!!!
Awesome!
Glad you finally got the video rendered. I never get sick of watching these types of videos, even though I've watched plenty and own everything aside from a mixing glass
Thanks Peter! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Why are you holding on the mixing glass?
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks just want to make sure I find a good one. Seamless, and without those internal bumps that you mentioned
This helps me a lot. Thanx for the great videos as always!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful. Cheers!
I do appreciate you talking me into getting a Smoke top with your short. I am loving it so far. Smokes a cocktail in like 2 seconds and looks amazing while doing it.
Hey Chris! I’m so glad you like it. Even though the contrary would have surprised me, it’s always a little tricky to recommend something. Thanks for the feedback
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I had seen other people recommending it both on CZcams and friends on cocktail chats. The beautiful way you filmed it was just the last nail in the coffin. Lol
Hey from Russia, its the best chanel about cocktails I ve ever seen, good luck
Thank you! Really means a lot. Cheers
Love your videos man, for the 3 piece shaker though I would highly recommend Elevated Craft Hybrid Cocktail Shaker as it addresses basically all of the negatives you mentioned. Its expensive but its worth it.
That's a piece of equipment I haven't tried yet.
Terrific video, as usual Jean-Felix! Just bought a smoketop and kit from Middleton--can't wait for it to arrive in 2 business days!
Good job! Sure you will loooove it!
This is very usefull, thank you!
Thanks! Cheers!
Great video! Maybe next time you can do some videos on tips and pointers on how to use them or some cocktail mixing skills/techniques? May or may not be too detailed but might be helpful for really new home bartenders
Cool thanks! I take notes of that idea. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video (and many others on this channel!). As a new 21 yr old, this is so helpful and things which no one ever told me about. Esp in this pandemic, I am soo not comfortable going out to get a drink so this is so useful!!! Much appriciated!
Thank you so much! I'm happy this was helpful to you. I may sound old saying this but since you brought the fact you're 21, I'd like to say that the art of making cocktails is about drinking better, not more. With that in mind, have fun! Cheers!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Ahaha yes of course!! Will def keep that in mind! :))
Love this video!! I've come back to it multiple times to re watch! Do you remember where you got your mixing glass? I like the look of the one that you show here.
Thank you! If it’s not in the links I put in the affiliate section, it is from Alambika in Montreal
I’ve got a pretty good collection of bar tools but I don’t own a cocktail smoker yet. That’s next on my list now!
I use "muddler" on the end of a bar spoon to layer ingredients inside a glass.
That makes a lot of sense
Needed this vid :) been wanting to get into making cocktails
Awesome! Cheers!
You definiteley deserve more attention! Very nice videos. Maybe you could make a video about matching the right tonice water with the right gin? I really dont like tonic water but my friends ask for it quite a lot.
That sounds interesting. Thanks for the idea. Cheers!
I would add a zester as well (I use nutmeg fairly often), but nevertheless this video is a Must-watch for everyone interested on the topic. Cheers!
Nice addition to the list indeed. Thanks a lot!
great video even for complete beginner like myself ;)
Superb!!!!...
Can you post a link to your recommended glass cobbler shaker? Having a hard time finding one with a good seal and durable to not break!
Hey Jean Felix! older video so hopefully you see this msg. As much as i love my Boston shaker, i decided to purchase a Cobbler shaker but cant decide if a 17-18oz size or a large 28 oz size is better. I like the gear you have but i dont see the links in your description below!! 😭 Can you confirm the size of your cobbler shakers?
(decided to try to learn the Japanese hard shake while Quebecs restrictions are going on to pass the time productively 😂)
I learnt so much from this video. I would like to ask: does the quality of an ice pick matter? does it go dull like a knife or peeler?
Hey thanks! Yes Ice pick can become dull easily when not a good quality. And not only that, the size of the "fork" or the distance between the picks also makes a major difference on how well or bad it works. I found the one I shown in the video, the best for everything.
You can use the fork end of the spoon as a back scratcher
This was the type of detail I was looking for as I build my home bar. Thanks for this.
What type of steel is the Japanese knife?
Thank you sir! I’m not an knife expert but I have some in Carbon steel and stainless steel
Great video! It's very instructive! I'm a interesting for buy a classic shaker like the small in your video, have you an reference where I can buy one? Thx from the France! 😇
Bonjour Rémi, le petit cobbler vient d’une boutique de Montréal. Malheureusement leur coûts de shipping en France e exorbitant. Si tu veux toutefois regarder, va dans la description du vidéo et clic sur le lien d’Alambika. Santé
Excelente video boss
Thank you Oscar! Cheers!
Where did you get that really cool stone decanter?
Nice video and quite explanatory, so if someone is in to sours should stay away from cobbler shakers? I don't like the looks of a boston shaker and for home use I was looking to buy a good cobbler shaker and what you said, froze me,
It is not as good looking indeed but especially if you make more sours, I don’t recommend it. But usually Tin on Ton shakers are not so expensive so why not have both 🤔
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks thank you for the answer but is not about the money. I just want to buy one shaker that will look nice and does not make a mess, especially since I like sours (white &pink lady, clover club, brandy alexander etc). Now if I see that I can't find a good cobbler shaker I will buy a boston one. I was even looking the Japanese ones but still I am in the search. thank you very much for your reply, have a good holidays.
@@christoslefkimiotis9889 m’y pleasure mate! If you really want to buy only one shaker that does everything, I’d say to buy a Boston. Cheers 🥂
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks you are the expert....you know better.Thx
All perfect but you forgot one thing: a lot of patience ahahah. Great video!
What you mean? To go through that video? 😂
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks no, to be a bartender ahah
@@DrinkInDigital haha! Ouf! Yeah I agree
I LOVE that knife. Can you tell me what type of Japanese knife it is, or where you got it? Thanks!
Got it at Alambika in Montreal
What brand is your jigger
I always thought the 'muddler' on the end of the spoon was for floating drinks, to get layers in your cocktail.
Well I guess you're right. You're not the only one who brought that up in the comments. It makes a lot of sense. I guess I don't make enough layered shots LOL
I wish you included video cuts of the products in action. You only did it during the smoke top part. Showing the product in slow motion while your voice is in the background would have made the video better for first timers.
Yessiree!!
😀
I was hoping to find out what tongs you use and why it's your favourite
Ah! Well I use the long ones most of the time. TBH, I never bought one, always got them from brand merch so I can't really tell you which to buy. If you are in Quebec, look at Alambika, I know they have good ones. Cheers
is that Roku gin that I spy in the background? second shelf down, second bottle in.
I think you’re guessing right!
I'd love to have the space for all of this
You should see my shelves... quite messy LOL
👍
How much ML of your baron shaker ?
It’s a 400ml
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks that look small now i gonna make decision to buy 400 or 500
Hey! Thats my knife!!! 😂
And your barspoon ;) Sorry you just have better taste then I do :P
The links for the
Ice molds does not work for me. Does someone have the name of them so i can google them?
Give me once second I’ll look into that. What country you live in?
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Germany
@@christo2239 Ok so this should work geni.us/Ak58
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks yes thank you
When I had that spoon with fork I usually use it for eating my lunch
Haha ! Mixologist all are eating their cereals with a barspoon no? 🤣
That wooden muddler is alive!!! Hahaha 😂
I'm sure I woke my neighbour up LOL
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks No doubt!! Hahaha.
Awesome tips! Once again, great video!!😊👍
Speaking of rolling cocktails, any other example apart from Bloody Mary and similar cocktails? Really curious…
Bellini 🤤
I love your accent. What is your country of origin?
Thanks! I’m French Canadian
24:23 Dang it.....Sorry wallet, I swear I'm almost done buying stuff....*crosses fingers*
Life is too short to not use glass bitter bottles. It’s an investment 😃
@@DavidRamseyIII Oh I have those. I meant an ice pick. Lol. But I agree
HAHAHA!!! Oups ;)
I like this one: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07P56B9YC/ it has ml and oz and tablespoons and is easy to read, and feel the ridges on the side with your finger. (Bought it on .de since I couldn’t find it on .se and I try to avoid extra costs that comes with buying from .co.uk nowadays). And yes, a Y-shaped peeler is a must, not the other kinds. Cheers!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I'm number 1!!!
Well you could use the long fork to stuff your face with the occasional mcdonalds chicken nugget while the clients are vomiting and thus distracted
You can use the fork to scratch your beard 😁😁😁
Because there's just no better ise LOL
Hat big. Hahaha.
😂
I have 7 jiggers, all gifts. No quarter ounce measurements on any of them and it’s profoundly annoying. Should I disown the family and friends that gave them to me? Probably
😂
