My name is Lui Fernandes and I am the Head Bartender & Owner of Labaredas Brazilian BBQ & Bar. I am obsessed with great cocktails and good booze. My passion is creating, drinking and talking about incredible cocktails that people love.
On my channel you can expect to find cocktail tutorials, some history lessons on cool boozy stuff, and lots of drinking. I will also share with you bartending tips and tricks that I have learned over the years from my time as a bartender.
I explore everything from classic recipes, to modern favorites and occasionally even a few original cocktails that currently are or have been on our menu at Labaredas. We tend to explore recipes, spirits, ingredients and stories that have originated in South/Latin America.
Sounds like a journey you would like to take?

I'd loooove to see these prices! My state (WA) has the highest liquor tax in the US at an absolutely CRIMINAL 20.5% + a $3.77 "liter tax" per liter sold. The government loves stealing our hard-earned money more than anything else, the rats. That and getting into wars, of course.
most gimmicky spirits are gimmicky for a reason the product they sell isn't very good. The good ones put it in a bottle and let what is inside do the talking.
I live in a Tequila desert known as Vermont - of all these, Patron and Tres Agaves Blanco are the only one you rated higher than D that is available in the state, and liquor mail order is illegal. So I guess I'd better pack my bags for a trip out of state! There are several common brands you don't mention here, would you give any of those a rating higher than D? (El Jimador, Hornitos, Milagro, Herradura, Cabo Wabo, Espolon, Cazadores, Sauza)
Excited to try this and the others you recommend! I’ve had everything from Cuervo to Clase, but Arrette is the best I’ve had so far. Found your channel looking for a review on it, and now have several new brands to sample. Thanks for all you do!!
Worked in a slaughter house for 4 years about 98% Mexican workers. Love their food camaraderie and their strong community and family values. With all that being said it’s a little ironic complaining about taking money out of the Mexican economy when we would get paid I would watch thousands and thousands of dollars every week get sent out of the country. That was just one place in one town. It’s funny how for a long time there has been an argument of them devaluing Americas labor market and now Americans are being deported from Mexico in droves due to them raising the cost of living there.
YT is killing it with the recommendations. These Liquor Snobs are hilarious to watch. I don't care about alcohol and find his pretentiousness hysterical. When people can do as they please, and being judgy and preachy is just hilarious.
Just recently started watching your videos and decided to try good tequila and mezcal. I pick up Del Maguey vida de muertos and Tequilla Ocho blanco. Looking forward to trying them. Want to try them neat and in Medicina Latina.
If bottle and label design didn't matter everything would come in the same cheap bottle with a cheap label. Ridiculous to even attempt to assert otherwise.
Thanks again for sharing all your Tequila Wisdom. I have been drinking Tequila exclusively for about three years now, My current favorite is Don Fulano Anejo😋🥃👍🏼.
Thank you for your videos. I have received a great education on what to look for. I love tequilas but didn’t know what to look for until i had some of your recommendations.
Have you done a video on the best Mexican owned Tequilas? I really want to support those companies. I live in Texas and you can find many Tequila choices here.
OMG, all those recipes look absolutely amazing. Keep up the awesome work. A video that I reconnmended for @The Educated Barfly to do, but I would also love to see you do is frankenstein two seperate drinks into one amazing beverage. Example being a Zombie with a Jungle Bird and calling it a Death wing? Another one is mixing a Caipirinha with a Mai Tai or Nergroni? Would love to see you try it.
This is the absolute worst Tequila I've ever had, I got both Resposado and Blanco, theyre both aweful and made me throw up after 1 shot. This is worse than Three Horsemen.
