    Really disappointed tbh, I thought we'd actually see the bar drink mixing skillage from the competitors, not fast forward through it all and only see interviews.. Like, what was even the point in this

      Reality show - (literally) 4 minutes of content stretched into an hour-long show. This is the reason they're so popular - they're REALLY cheap to make.

    so as a judge you sip taste all the drinks, and 54 countrys are represented. 10 drinks each is 540 sips. I dont care how small those sips are. You're wasted after that round.

      I don't think they each try the 10 drinks because even at one point in the video he said "my drink is..."

      Toon van Mosselveld They might be, but they still can walk in a straight line and multiply 2 digit numbers with each other. They can handle it as if it were nothing.

    The editing was terrible, it felt like a series compressed into one episode

    • @TessPosthumus
      @TessPosthumus  Před 7 lety +209

      Hi Samuel, thank you for the feedback and you are right. It is a series and compressed into one episode for youtube. It has been aired by different broadcasting agencies throughout multiple countries but I've put it online so you could rewatch it if you'd like.

    • @samuelmcguigan3852
      @samuelmcguigan3852 Před 7 lety +19

      +Tess Posthumus Yeah that would be great, what I saw was awesome but it just felt disjointed and erratic.

    @krognak Před 7 lety +1300

    Yeah so, do we actually get to watch them MAKE the damn drinks? Or is this just all about the whizzing, whooshing camera angles and dramatic music. What a load of bollocks.

  • @tangyuan9231
    @tangyuan9231 Před 3 lety +76

    the Japanese when he presents the cocktail brings my tears out. It touches my heart. only those who travel a lot away from home for so long will understand. and he wins I am so happy for him.

  • @johnnyliu7105
    @johnnyliu7105 Před 7 lety +236

    how can you choose 6 out of 54 with just 2 challenges?

    • @magnezon1
      @magnezon1 Před 7 lety +18

      you can if u know how to judge... u gotta take in consideration every little detail, from presentation, to garnish, taste, the meere show of the barman preparing the drink, the confidence, the treat you recieve, in this case according to the tests also their creativity, knowledge about food & drinks, how they deal with pressure, etc, etc, etc...
      its tough, and maybe a rush to go from 56 to 6, but as i said, it is possible to choose.

  • @sethbarton6530
    @sethbarton6530 Před 7 lety +25

    the first episode put all the focus on like 5 people and only two of them made it. The other four who made it weren't commented on at all

  • @deckalast1734
    @deckalast1734 Před 4 lety +15

    To be honestly, for me all of them are the good bartender...just of the limit time it make them go rush...To be honestly...they are great... there is no good or bad bartender...as long as the guest feel the drink good..They still the best

      Nah most career bartenders suck and have inflated egos; I know because Im one of those people. I could easily cut a group of 50 bartenders down very quickly, small mistakes can show that you either dont understand the intricacies of the craft or that you dont care enough to do it right.

      +tonis92hools it was a joke... Tipsy Bartender doesn't even measure stuff and he rarely makes his own recipes. I only watch it because he's a good entertainer at this point.

    • @Kalaskula2000
      @Kalaskula2000 Před 8 lety +12

      Well Tipsy has got a casual approach thats for sure but you can clearly see he understands what he is doing so I wouldn't go so far as to call him unproffesional :-P I mean after all...theese cocktails are supposed to be served at bars in parties right...Tipsy's way of preparing actually looks a but more "real" if you get my drift...and there is boobs!

    What is this sea water mist that Michito Kaneko used in the winning cocktail? Just salt water or?

    Fantastic Video = I imbibed a Cincinnati Iced Tea and a Grand Rapids Old Fashioned while watching this excellent video.
    Inspiration is the key to Creation. How can you watch this w/o a cocktail in hand. Enjoy.

    I wish I saw this before October last year when I went to Japan/Nara. I recognised the stairs he walked down, and the temple. Damn it. Would have been awesome to go to his bar soon after his crowning. Lol not the pregnancy kind of crowning.

    no matter how good you are at something, there's always an Asian better than you.

      I have many very good friends who are Asian and I know why they're so damn good. Discipline is key to everything in that amazing little nation of Japan and the massive country of China.
