[zawvneey]

0:31 for a zombie finger!

[VonDutch1987]

Do not muddle your mint!

Muddling you mint will result in tiny pieces trough the entire drink, these little pieces will be small enough to go trough you straw into your mouth where you will be spitting them out.

I recommend to put the mint into the palm of your hand a just applaud like you normally would 3x. Then put it in your drink a muddle it softly, do not rip the mint!!

[peter0the0king381]

this guys is a boss

[Adawg4008]

What if I like doing things wrong?

[joeyheadset]

I use both kinds of muddlers. The wooden one (that this guy hates) I use for very gentle muddling... basically if I want to just give some mint leaves a few thumps to express the oil without shredding it. For more aggressive muddling I use a stainless steel/silicon muddler.

[xINVISIGOTHx]

@joeyheadset he said wood is ok, he said dont use laquered/painted muddlers

[ChristinaLouise44]

Is it just me or does everyone in these videos have like a weird grey stripe in their hair? I am sure I just saw a woman with the same hair earlier on.

[ptoledo55]

If you leave your glass full of small pieces of mint that will finish in your teeth and ice melting faster because of the shaking, you are doing it all wrong!!!

[CocktailsMelbourne]

Dude, if you're shaking a Mojito, you're doing it ALL WRONG!!

[googlemanhalim]

@CocktailsMelbourne SO TRUE ! U DON'T WANT IT TO BECOME ALL WATTTERY . . .

USE A DAMN SPOON !

[yingyangyastic]

that mustache needs to go ma nigga

[KickBassify]

1:37

That's what she said?

[ValisFan3]

@KickBassify It has to be long, it doesn't have to be this fancy, and it has to be wood.

[juggalo450]

hell yea this is good!

[Cerrani91]

Probably the most useful tips are these, the coctail ones. MORE OF THESE!

[emilio9831]

lol he reminded me of borat for a whole sec.. O.O

[imthetank3]

i wana turn 21 already

[10Dante4]

looks like satan

[belzog]

I want that mojito! and the muddler :)

[nataly602]

awesome job! I feel my brain expanding with knowledge ;]

[Crimsonriven]

You realize that once upon a time that muddling has been around since cocktail making started >>

it went out of style when blenders were introduced, but in the last ten or so years the art of muddling has made a come back.

[brandonpringle16]

i want like 5000 of those right now

[wedacose]

This is all correct, however, in my opinion, mint is a delicate leaf and doesn't require you to pulverize it to get the flavors out. So what i would do here, is just muddle the lime only, then add the mint with cracked ice and shake it. The cracked ice (or better yet crushed ice) will act like shards and cut the mint and release the aromas. Nevertheless, great video!

[Vicbartender1990]

@wedacose totally agree, and a mojito doesn't need to be shaken. Thats just extracting more of the bitter take of the mint leaves but breaking it up that much.

[iRTheUnknown]

the first chow video i like

[krakhaid]

Cool, I actually have the exact muddler he's using in this video, and it's really good. Since it has the little rubber nodules on it, it means it helps crush the stuff faster, so that means less work for you.

[danielbastiansen]

@krakhaid I've been searching for a good muddler like this one - do you know what brand/model this muddler is?

Thanks in advance

-Daniel

[antipro8]

00:12 I want you to gtfo.

[Kamohawk22]

[203207ab]

[ameen1one]

ok thank you

[DuzztX]

1:44 thats what she said

[parkeyboi2k6]

Rule no5: the barman should not have a dirty rats tail moustache!

[mbanker21]

@parkeyboi2k6

negative, he definately, definately, should.

[parkeyboi2k6]

@mbanker21

in the bar i work in i was told to go home and shave one day at work. hence, dirty moustache is a negative!! unless your one of the ymca boys- hence....gay

[Videotubelord]

@parkeyboi2k6 unless he's gaybar barman :D

[claresa14]

i officially believe in love at first sight

[TheNewJamesDean]

Also they don't do any of this in cuba, the use lime juice, sugar syrup (white, not brown) and fresh clapped mint. Then lighty shaken with big ice or muddled lightly with the back of a bar spoon.

[TheNewJamesDean]

All very true a great muddle is an asset to every bar professional! Although if what he was making was a Mojito then it's all WRONG! YOU SHOULD NEVER MUDDLE MINT!!!!!!! It makes the drink bitter as you can see if you suck then chew the mint, it's the same when the oils have been bruised. Please don't do it, every informed patron will send it back.

[123chuckrds]

I have a question...wouldn't  you want to remove the beaten up lime peel before serving the drink?

it would aestheticall better if theres an intact lime wedge on the rim...it would seem like a no-brainer to me!

[LoneWolfEngland]

What booze did he add to that cocktail? :-/

[rowland2k8]

vodka i think

[razsao]

Make a video about which food gives you obesity.

[Arwarman]

'Gives you obesity'

... Its not a disease... Just don't eat too many foods with high fat/sugar contents.

[Postitsaresticky]

you mean makes you obese?

lol

[SpecialKit]

I thought that grinding stuff like that was called "Mulling" not "Muddling"

[lepardwolf0leafeon]

:-( liked the old intro

[sirladytron]
