Hi Steve! Thanks for signing the book my friend and Adelaide resident Jerry Brown bought at your bar last month (great selfie of you two!) I'm so excited to get it when he comes to Canada for a visit in September. You've been such an inspiration to my home bar. Frozen drinks are something I really love, so I'll take these tips on board. Cheers!

@@StevetheBartender_ , the entire thing. Kinda muffled, but as if caused by the recording EQ levels being incorrectly set. (I know just enough about recording techniques to be dangerous, lol.) Your voice comes thru ok … but the ambient noises only partially come through, if that makes any sense? Hopefully other viewers will chime in with their thoughts. ETA: Maybe what I’m hearing is the compression (I *think* that’s the right term) you did to reduce the audio noise?

I've tried 4 different frozen drinks from the book and found that 170 grams of ice was just too much, and overly diluted. The texture is 10/10 and all tips afe right on, just the drinks are just too stretched out. I'll be readjusting the recipes for my presences.

there's no way you squeezed that lime directly in the measure and you didn't spill all over the place!! that was surely edited out of the shot! oh! and xantham gum is all over the place, since it's the #1 baking ingredient for gluten free stuff. however, pay attention to the fact that it is known to lower blood sugar. so if you're a diabetic, or have low blood-sugar for any reason, you may find out that the xanthan gum will cancel out the sugar in this cocktail, but the rum will go on to have an unhindered lowering effect. so all in all - awesome idea for diabetics to go on having cocktails, without over-worrying about blood-sugar!!
