Youre subtle sarcasm is far more approachable than my dissapointment. Ive actually watched a few videos from this nozzle, on the web, and find it suspeicious none of them have any comments underneath, positive or negative.

This guy obviously doesn't have a friend in the world. If he did, don't you think that at some point one of his friends would say, "Hey, dude, seriously, stop." I mean let him do three or four (that's just funny) but really, eventually, won't you tell your pal that he's got a four foot toilet paper trail stuck to his shoe? If he does have friends they're just plain mean, funny, but mean. Oh, and it is me or was he holding the muddler upside down? In full disclosure, I went to ABS here in Tampa and I thought it was pretty well done - it all depends on the instructors. Most the recipes we were taught were reasonable. They do push the sour mix - as my instructor put it, fresh fruit is better but chances are that where ever you end up working will cheap out and use sour mix (points for honesty). Overall, anyone who thinks that they are going to take a one - two week course and end up being a fully trained bartender probably also buys a lot of stuff off late night infomercials.

You must Shake the caipirinha. You can use simple syrup but in brasil they used sugar. And nobody in Brasil put Soda wather in a caipirinha. The cachaça in the video is Ypioca but you can find a lot of brands. One of my favourites is Sagatiba http://www.sagatiba.com/ Thre recipe is wrong.
