@@neilgardiner5101 I'm on your side... I generally meant that the entire channel is for show, nothing proper to show for it... I've checked through a couple of his videos and it's good content, but nothing he does would be used behind a bar, nor is anything he does very "skillful".
@@Stop_It_Just_Stop No measurements, way too much gin for a lowball glass, stirring with the barspoon made me cringe. PS: Thanks for making me watch this again 7 months later
Pouring the tonic like that releases a lot of it’s carbonation though, surely you want to preserve as much of it as possible. Preferably you want an already chilled glass, gin and tonic.
I was a bartender for five years. This is not the “right way” to make a gin and tonic. Maybe it’s an unnecessarily fancier way to do it? Look up the history of the drink and you’ll understand why - it’s made from ingredients British soldiers had on hand in India. No malaria = no gin and tonic. But, if you feel like spending nine bucks on tonic water makes it taste better . . .
I want a ring randomly on my finger so when i make a drink i can tap the bottle with the ring. That ring tap is oddly satisfiying to hear after many videos of this happening. Plis it gives off classy vibes.
The first tonic bottle got tossed because the bottle is plastic, and he didn't want to tap his wedding ring against a plastic bottle - it just wouldn't satisfy that uncontrolable compulsion he has the same way
Wrong glass, Gin Tonic should be served with a tall glass. Pouring fizzy drink from such a hight will make the bubble gone. The music is just right on point tho.
@@prestonphillips3375 no because he didn't muddle the mint. How are you supposed to extract the menthol from the mint without lightly muddling it? The frozen mint cube is nice but it won't impart the menthol from the mint which gives you that nice minty flavor.
The more I watch this channel the more I realise they have know idea what they’re talking about when it comes to drinks loool, but they have money so they can make it look cool
You really need to try the Arctic Blue Gin. Has a very subtle blueberry taste to it (can add frozen blueberries as well). Or Napue Gin with a good tonic and rosemary to top it off
There's nothing wrong with cheap tonic in a G&T. However, a nicer tonic like Q tonic can definitely elevate the experience. I've tried my fair share and I still usually find myself using Schweppes because it's the easiest for me to get my hands on. Also, mint is a no from me in G&T. Just Tanqueray 10 Gin, Tonic of choice, and lime juice over ice for me. That always hits the spot.
