I'm here for Az's editing skills. Seriously, though, what a classy presentation, Anders; you, Az, the history lessons, the cocktails, the sound quality, the editing, the set ... all top notch. The best cocktail videos on KZfaq. Perfect for me, who is relatively new to the classic cocktail experience.
@dimitarapostolov9788 2 ай бұрын
My favourite way to have the Aviation is a la reverse Bramble - I shake the gin, lemon and maraschino, then pour the Creme de Violette in the frozen glass, and then pour the shaken cocktail on top of it. Cheers Anders and Az! 🥂
@joshuaharper372 Ай бұрын
I like it the same way: shake without the creme de violette, but mix it together as you pour into the glass.

I've been watching your videos since practically the beginning. Best cocktail channel on you tube. I can hardly believe that you have over 500K subscribers, but then it's a quality channel, so I shouldn't be surprised. You are personable and a bit humorous and completely believable. Enjoy the stories behind the drinks and that where possible you offer alternatives to certain ingredients. Keep it up.
@hamishmcarthur5068 2 ай бұрын
To maintain the purple colour, try adding butterfly pea flowers to your gin. The gin will turn blue. The colour from the flower is ph reactive and turns purple when it contacts acid. So shake your aviation and maintain the purple colour!

I shake the aviation. But I first had the cocktail in a bar in chicago and the tender barely put violet in it. As a matter of fact he put a teaspoon in the glass. Swirled it around and dumped it out. Made the drink and poured it. The hue was sky blue. Delicious.

You've honestly become my favorite cocktail channel, despite being one of the ones it took me longest to find. Great mix of classics and weird stuff. And of course my favorite, weird classics I've never heard of. Love the glass design, just a same the shipping cost is crazy to get it to me. Might see if I can get one big order and just take the hit on shipping the one time

I purchased the bar mat and coupe glass and I “LOVE” them. The glass is beautiful, perfect for a daiquiri. The bar mat is in a class all its own. This thing is massive and heavy and beautifully crafted. I love it and you will too, PROMISE.🤙🏽

Love your videos, best cocktail channel on KZfaq by far! The logo on the coupe would be better on top of the base, for some reason I like the coupes with nothing on the top part since they are a little more elegant. I love the other two and will definitely get one. Thank you for the awesome videos!

I found your channel by accident, and never left. I was looking for an Epicurious video (I didn't know that at the time) and when I searched, you looked like the bartender in that video...I searched your channel relentlessly and fruitlessly. I did end up finding the other video, but I've been watching your channel ever since. It's been about 2 years and I still have so much fun learning about the history of cocktails.
Bon Appétit
