The Alcohols - Bartending 101
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 22. 10. 2012
- Here's a once over on the main different types of alcohols in a bar. Please excuse the mediocre video and audio, this is literally one of the first videos I ever shot. Thank goodness we've come a long way since then đ.
VIDEO DISCLAIMER: This video is intended to be in the vein of mnemonic learning with stories and bad jokes to help you just get a basic understanding of things. What I'm saying is that some statements aren't 100% accurate. And while I don't call tequila a gin or vodka a scotch... if you want more nerdy science and factual information about this stuff please have a look at the "Alcohol's Playlist" here: âą ALCOHOL 101: What's In...
Cheers! :)

Goodwork sir! Thankyou.
Your channel is a lifesaver for a rookie bartender thanks
can you make a video explaining the difference in Mezcal and Tequila?
Edgar Solorio mezcal is made in any region with any type of agave succulent plant. True tequila is required to be made from 100% Blue agave.
Very informative video! I'll be checking your other videos soon! đ
I paid better attention to this class than I have in any class I've ever taken

Youâre a saint! đ
This video is so informative and helpful thank you !
"Poisonous yeast sweat". Love it, best way of putting things.
this video is pure gold. 200 proof. I learned so much about alcohol in this short 20 minutes, THANK YOU SO MUCH Jason!
You should do another video like this but all about beer, wine and champagne and the different characteristics of each of those
It's in the works!!
+BartendingPro I agree :D
Which pixel is Jason?
I laughed way to hard at that lmaooooo
140p
the drunk one
by far the best bartender stuff on yt..
I just turned 21. I'm not going to be a bartender but this helped me figure out what to order when I go to bars and stuff, because I'm used to just drinking whatever crap they have at frat parties. But now I can finally pick a drink!
I turn 21 in 1.5 hours lol. Just the perfect channel for me right now
i swear america is the only place that only lets you buy drinks at 21, 3 years behind xD
yet we can smoke and vote at 18!
and buy guns
but we can't drink?
Whiskey Sour (fresh juice), Manhattan, Old Fashioned (angostura and orange bitters, and no fucking muddling or soda water)
Enjoy
Thank you so much for this video!! Im only 19 years old and beginning my studies as a professional mixologist, this is going to help my basic bartending SO much! I have a notebook Ive been writing everything down in and now thanks to your bartending videos I'll be that much closer to an expert! Thank you soooo much! :)
..'it really tastes like shit so we have to flavor this'....LMAO
If it's percentage it's all in proportion. A bottle of 151 is 75.5% alcohol whether it's full, half full, or has a few drops left
til it separates lol
This is 3 years late but hey! It is most likely less when there is less in it, because of evaporation inside the bottle being released when opened.
Those title cards sound like they are trying to kill me.
your personality makes this. funny and a corky kind of charming. awesome video! information so helpful for work, and the way you lay it out is noob-friendly ;) thanks
I just want to say thank you for all these videos, they've really helped me develop my skills more than anything else I've tried. This video alone has made me feel like an expert when I talk to my friends.
Note it down gentlemen:
Potatoes + yeast + water = Vodka (Russia)
Sugarcane Molasses = Rum(Caribbean)
Luagaave = Tequila(Mexico)
Juniper berries = gin(Netherlands)
wheat = Whiskey(USA)
Corn and wheat = Bourbon(USA)
blue agave my friend
Whisk(e)y is like Vodka made from grain (mix or pure). Whiskey is is non-scottish, irish or irish based (Scotch) Whisky is from scotland. Single Molt = only Barley.
Yeah wheat is the most common grain for vodka. And whiskey and scotch are more often done from Barley than wheat.
Also gin is just vodka spiced with juniper berries it's not made from juniper berry mash.
And gin isn't mostly from Holland the Dutch drink is Genever and it doesn't taste quite the same as Gin.
Thank you so much. I'm going to have an EPIC cocktail party for my 50th...my hubby and I had one before about 7 years ago when we first got married. This video is reminding me about what I need to know. I am not making crazy cocktails for the party but with I have learned to know what I am buying and why. Knowledge is power. :) Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. It's not much but I see a sticker in my future!
Bravo Jason! This was an excellent orientation to alcohols. I'm less nervous knowing the basic science behind the bottle. Thank you so much!!
watching this was addicting, more facts and information than my mind was ready for, awesome.
I like that this channel is focused on information and technique and not so much for the flair like I saw another commenter point out. Definitely will be watching
As a bartender, I found this video and your explanation ND teaching skills superb to other videos on CZcams. Keep up the good work!
Finally decided to step out of my comfort zone and just got two jobs serving at restaurants with full bars.. And omg! This video is awesome!
Hi Jason, is it?
Wanted to express my thanks. I've started a new bar job recently without knowing anything about bar-tending.
I've watched this video a couple times over, tried to absorb the info and it seems to have helped significantly! I know what to reach for when a customer asks for brandy, or whatever else.
So once again, thank you for posting this video, it's been a great help.
Wow! This guy knows so much! I love watching his videos. He has such a great way of explaining things. I always learn allot. I can't believe how much I learned from THIS video. SO much info. Thanks, Jason, for doing what you do!
Pure Gold. One of the best videos on alcohols. Very nice explanation. Hats off.
I LOVE your videos!! New to the bar tending profession and you're seriously helping me so much! Cheers mate!
Dude you crack me up with those subtle funny comments. Awesome video. Very helpful.
Haha, thanks Jack... Trying to keep it fun!
Thank you for making this video. As a recent graduating bartender I appreciate this video. I'll be watching this vid for the next few days to absorb all the info.
Just watched this for the second time. You did such a good job. Keep up the good work man!
Just started training as a bartender today and this video definitely helped on my alcohol history :) I know most the brand names, but now I have some backstory. It doesn't hurt to learn about what you're drinking and serving.
I want to learn my alcohol but I don't specifically know where to look ??
Thank you :) I have my 1st solo bartending job this Sunday. Gathering all the tips from you xoxox
i just started my first bartending job. i have never done this before i dont know how to make drinks or anything...but im lucky to have an awesome bar owner that wants to work with me. this is a Rehabilitation thing for me to work on my social anxiety I'm very thankful and lucky to have found someone like her that will work with me with no experience. its so hard for me so thank you for your grate videos that help me out alot!
I'm a new bartender and your videos have helped me a lot! Thank you!
Great video! I've spent ALLLLL night watching your videos. Thank you for educating the masses and being a great bartending ambassador to us all. Hope things are going great.
I really want to bartend and this is so helpful for me! Very informative and thorough. I'm a novice with not much knowledge of liquor so it helps to see the differences and learn
Best class ever. I have this on replay thanks for this vid man your time is appreciated đđœ
You are so knowledgable, and you make this so easy to understand. Many thanks!!
All your videos have been a real tool for me.
There aren't many pros out there willing to share their knowledge
Thank you very much for your effort.
Thanks for this! Great information and looking forward to your other videos.
I honestly don't know how you have little subscribers, this is golden, subscribed and keep up the good work!!
Very, very VERY Nice video. It was V.S, thanks a ton for putting the time in to make a video such as this one.
Cheers, leaving a sub as tip ;)
Thank you, that was very comprehensive!! Excellent video!!
hey from Australia, love how simple you've made this.
Nice videos man, very helpful. btw you look like Dennis from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia in some videos including this one. lol
This was such a helpful video and I loved watching. The guy is very handsome, and when I was noticing this fact, I also noticed that he MUST be drinking during the video bc he totally loosens up near the end. For me, for some reason, that adds credence to his opinions and expertise. haha
this was an very informational, very helpful video for me 3 1/2 pages long notes from just this one ....Thank you!
this guy is actually so great
I kept a pourer spout on my 151 and literally half of it evaporated over two or three months. How do I stop that from happening? Kept happening even when I put the cap back on.
this video is awesome. I cant wait to check out more.
Great vid man. Opening up a new bar and about to go get it ready today. These vids are excellent for refreshing that knowledge all around and learning too. You do great at it to so thats big. The key diff between Bombay and bombay sapphire is Bombay is only distilled Bombay S is distilled then infused with 10 botanicals. So wait... wouldn't that make it a liqueur? Lol
I'm sure the definitions change slightly from country to country, but a liqueur contains sugar of at least 2.5% of mass. Therefore something like Captain Morgans Spiced Rum or a flavoured vodka are still liquors as they do not meet this criteria.
Hey thank you so much you truly help me, I watch your videos on repeat sometimes. Before I go to class. I wish I can thank you in person. Thank you Definitely a BIG HELP.
Right on Amanda, glad you're getting value out of my crazy videos! Best of luck!!
This video is extremely well done and informative. Thanks!
Single barrel means it came out of a single barrel and wasn't blended. Not that it was th first use like you said. Single barrel is more exclusive than single malt. Singe malt is a blend of up to 40 barrels. Single barrel is from 1 barrel. The master distiller selects the best barrels to be single barrel lables and no barrels get blended. All bourbon is aged in a new barrel or its not bourbon. So no point in saying 1st barrel when its never aged in a used barrel.
Can you recommend some good brands/bottles of bourbon?
Bret Maverick single and malt are different. its "single" n "malt". not "single malt". malt refers to the barley taking a good majority in the ingredients. im not sure what single means. i think distillery
@@RoyalHam you probably don't need this anymore đ but Four roses small batch is good although I like scotch more.
Am now getting into bartending I love it so much an thanks for the videos it help me out alot thanks
Straight to the point. What a great video. I've spent 4 years at uni in Aus and in nov i'm doing a Gap year in Canada. When I get back...I want to be a master bartender.
that was great, you should make more videos like this; its gonna be real useful for me thanks.
Not entirely accurate. The Champagne region is about 400 miles away from the Cognac region. Champagne Cognac is simply made from grapes grown in two subregions of Cognac called Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne.

I believe Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is a liquor, not a liqueur.
This is from their website:
Original Spiced
Smooth and medium bodied, Captain Morgan Âź Original Spiced is a spirit drink based on a secret blend of Caribbean rums, mellow spice and other natural flavours. It gets its distinct richness and amber colour from aging the rum in charred white oak barrels. Captain Morgan Âź Original Spiced is the perfect mix with Cola - the secret recipe of spices blend with the Cola to make a legendary mix!
ABV: 35-37.5% (can vary by market)
AVAILABLE: Worldwide
A spirit is a hard alcohol, or liquor.
It's a liqueur. The spices and flavourings in Capt. Morgan Spiced Rum are added after the distillation process
Starting bartending school in 2 days. Learned a couple things, thanks !
good tutorials! learnt a lot. (im on my on job training as a bartender btws) thanks for these vids. keep it up!
ps. nice shirt. jc how many tuts you've done in one seating...
I love this content...so useful for being in hospitality....
thank you very much boss,i learned more from you,really appreciated.you are a really professional bartender..
This was very informative and well done. Thank you âș
hi Jason love ur videos ive been bartending for 16yrs and u just told me somethings i didnt know lol thanks for being kind enough to share what u know!!
Mark Umbenhower
Statement below is 100% correct on the single barrel.
Also Bourbon can be made anywhere. Not just Bourbon Kentucky. To make a Bourbon you have to follow a few laws or Rules.
1. Bourbon must have at least 51% corn, it can have wheat. Rye. or both as long as 51% is corn.
2. All bourbons are made in new oak barrels. Never using the barrel more then once for bourbon.
3. Bourbons must be ages for at least 3 years. The peat use to smoke the barrel is not a must. Some are lightly smoked and some are not smoked at all. Most of your Scotch. Scottish Whisky or Bourbon is know for more smokey flavored. However this is not a rule in Scotland they are many Scottish bourbon that are not smokey. There is a lot more to whiskey. Whisky and Bourbon especially between Ireland and Scotland and the US. If interesting you just have to do some research.
You are really a good teacher.... Now I can proudly talk about different kind of wine like a pro to my colleagues đ€đ€...
I want some of that ten thousand year old stuff Thor had lol :)
This was very informative and well presented. Thank you
I felt like you were more drunk as the video progressed... but to be fair, so was I. so maybe I'm wrong.
Can you do a video on single malt/blended and what's the difference cause I'm getting confused now due to the distilled process thanks.
hey how's it going, what can you tell me about E&J brandy and what's good simple way to mix it with, nothing too crazy lol, Thanks! :)
this is the greatest presentation ever!!
Heyy that's such a cool video ! Loved it !
I was looking behind him at the selection and didnt see Grey Goose. Right as i was thinking that, at 2:58, it appeared magically on the top left shelf! ha
This was a fantastic video !
I just started working in a liquor store and know nothing about liquor
So when alcohol sits for a long time and gets smoother. Does it also lose alcohol potency?
New Subscriber. Awesome video. Lots of great information. Thanks you.
So i have to say that this is awesome! Now you rock!
âSays here you are certified in mixology, thatâs always a huge plusâ
âYes I just watched a 25 minute video by bartending pro beforehand and am very prided on that accomplishmentâ
đđđ đŻ
Wow, you are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
I know a lot about beer but not much about liquor! Love the video.
I've been meaning to shoot a video about absinth. The truth is that it's hardly ever seen in any bars in the US so it's not particularly relevant to most of our viewers...but still, I do intend to cover it eventually :)
Really helpful,I just want to say thanks n keep updating!!!!!!
This video is so helpful, just got a job at a bar and had no idea about any of that stuff
Awesome video!! Extremely helpful! Thank you!!
Great video. Basically answered every question I've ever had about alcohol
Jason... Your video series is absolutely brilliant and really fun to go through...
I had a few doubts about liqueurs however. I learnt at culinary school that liqueurs not only have artificial flavoring but also the addition of sugar. Does that still make malibu, capt morgan, stoli, etc liqueurs
This is definitely helping my knowledge base, thanks for the info!
Itâs 2023- youâre awesome dude đ
What an awesome useful tutorial
Awesome video dude!
I really really needed this! Thank you!
can you distill purchased vodka at home?
Yeah, Thanks Jason this class is the most I've paid attention too in YEARS!!! Your'e an Awsome Teacher!!! Thanks for you're since of Humor and sharing you're knowledge!!! YA Had a Brotha đ€Ł with the Snoop Dogg Reference!!! That's it I'm Following this Cat!!! I hit the subscribe button immediatelyđ€Ł
This was a great learning experience âșïž Thanks đ
Great videos, very helpful. Can you make a video going over liqueur's?
Agree, I do need to do an update on Pisco...on the "need to shoot" list!
Right on, no problem!
Very informative, thank you!
