Omg I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. That’s the most appalling thing I’ve ever seen since my “bartender” added Jack Daniels in my friend’s Long Island. What a bawstardisation of such good bourbon.

Sir Jeffrey.
When are you going to update your website? Please do it soon.

p.s. i’ve been using a 3:5 sour mix to bourbon ratio at the local Hooters establishment that I run and people have been raving about it… but sometimes I question the quality of mint that we are using. We get our mint from a can, which comes in a sort of mint-soup sauce from Sysco, and I was wondering if it might be worth-while/cost-effective to possibly just going frozen mint on our Juleps there??-as Julep’s are basically a frozen drink.

anyways… i love the pictures on your website–they are super cool!

I know it sucks,
I also know that when I used a soda gun for the firs time I used the T for tonic.

As a mint julep? Total mindf**k of a trainwreck. Additionally, if that’s their method for a Mojito? Bottled water is my drink of choice in this establishment.

The only thing good about that video was her cleavage….just saying! sprite? reallly?

You know, I can’t get over the fact that she used both real muddled limes, rose’s limejuice ánd sourmix. I’m surprised no one mentioned that here before. Or actually I’m not, since there were so many other weird things to mention.

WTF was that? Sprite? Holy hell that was a waste. Somewhere the bourbon gods are weeping rust-colored tears.

Jeffrey, do you always use 2:1 simple syrup? If not, when do you use 1:1 and 2:1? Loved the video! Very informative!

I have a lot of reasons for not drinking at nightclubs, but that first video illustrates one of the biggest ones. Yikes. I don’t bartend professionally, and I take shortcuts at home (I throw a big handful of mint into my simple syrup as it cools when I make it, and only use fresh for garnish — it works for me), but I sorta think a good bartender’s manual would go a long way there. Although, in my experience, nightclubs in general are not a great place to get a cocktail. I haven’t ordered a cocktail at a nightclub since 2003’s great Tom Collins Disaster, which required three trips back to the bar, and ended with me drinking beer.

If you you that is good, check out this video. If you can get by the shot of the guy stirring the sugar cube around his old fashioned, the other few will definitely get you.

Jeffrey, excellent video! Let no mixology crime go unanswered! I’m not sure what she was mixing, but it sure was confusing! If I wanted to publish such a drink on my blog – well – I wouldn’t! But if I did I would make up a new name like: Minty Lime Disaster! It might even gain a following. Truth in advertising is everything. Perhaps we can all chip in and send that bar rescue guy out there to straighten up da place!

Nice. Keep up the standard of the last two videos, and you run no risk whatsoever of boring us.

That’s the last video where I rag on other bartender, Brian, I promise. The rest of the videos are pretty boring, just me making drinks for you.

I love the videos. You look good on them, Mr Morgenthaler, and I loved trying your Daiquiri. I just hope that you’re not setting a theme here of ‘have a laugh at the poor misguided bad bartender’. No matter how awfully, horribly, terribly they mess up otherwise wonderful drinks, we really shouldn’t take too much of the piss out of them, should we? Heaven forbid that the cocktail scene start being thought of as elitist and snobbish ;-)

Hi Jeffrey. I should clarify that I didn’t mean to criticize in pointing this out. There’s obviously a difference in mindset and authority between your Barate Kid article and the Woodford Reserve mint julep video. It is interesting, though, to see an example of how cocktails can remain a learning process and evolution even for the leading practitioners, and even for the most classic drinks. I’m looking forward to the next video in this series.
