how's that vodka taste?

[everydaydrinkers]

Tastes okay, for vodka. Vodka isn't really the most tasteful of spirit :) The flavor, however, is all we're needing from it, and it's citrus :)

Cheers for these videos. I've recently got a job as a barman, and in my bar, we use 2 metal measurers, similar to the ones you are using here - a single measure and a double measure (for spirits with mixers). Are these 1oz and 2oz for single and double respetively? It would be useful to know for your other videos, as we use these measurers for the cocktails we sell in the bar I work at. Cheers again.

Wow, this is one of the older ones...encoding blows too -- all blurry!

Sorry, I've not been back to this vid in awhile. These were 1 oz. I believe, the ones I use now (OXO Measuring cups) have actual oz. measurements on the side.

So, one measure is about 1 oz. if I recall (it's been a year, but I believe that's right)

@everydaydrinkers Did you record in HD, and how much did you pick up your current video camera for? I know stuff is pretty cheap nowadays. I'm pretty much a ghetto YouTube creator, so we have to rely on our winning personalities to carry the day.

@theFNDCdotcom I've always recorded in HD, but the original series of video's where uploaded in 480p because of space/youtube limits, etc. Today, things have changed and we upload larger files and get HD quality out of them. These older video's are worse now though. Our first camera was 1,800, I think the new one was a bit more if I recall.

im fairly sure cointreu is pronounsed ''con-trö / con-troe''

[habacuk1985]

Thank you for using Good Liqour(Lemon or Citron Vodka and Cointreu)... No premade stuff used... very good.... Hahah the lemon is fighting you!!!??? Wtf.... Why do you tell that people could use the pre made lemon concentrate if you like "organic" lemon juice.... You dont want seeds in your drink never... Again use fresh Ice and freeze your martini glass or serve in cold shot glass...

It's called a lemon drop for a reason. It's supposed to taste like the lemon drop candy, so it is supposed to be a sweet tasting drink. And a lemon drop candy, if it were a cocktail, would taste like a sweet lemonade with a vodka kick. So if it doesn't taste like a sweet lemonade, you didn't make it right.

You forgot the sugar and the sugar rim. The lemon flavored vodka is redundant and unnecessary. You also forgot the sweet & sour and you left the mix sitting in the ice too long.

OK, cheers for the help, I'll have to check the next time I go to work. And I plan to make some of your cocktails the next time I'm working, they sound good.
