Have you ever considered doing a video about your local spirits? I’ve always been curious how tastes vary from country to country

Fun fact most Lapsang sold in China today isn't smokey in the taste since they devloped a kind that is made with the same process but don't let it touch the tea. Think it was invented in Tong Mu Guan by the Wuyi mountain the home of many of Chinas most famous teas. The unsmoked kind is beautiful as it is woody without smoke, vanilla, caramel and longan in the tasting notes.

I'm seeing other creators, with established, successful channels hit the same wall. Seems that around January of this year something changed, maybe a greater emphasis on shorts vs longer content. I'm sorry you got caught in it. I've enjoyed your work and gotten several good drink recipes and inspirations from your videos. Good luck with whatever comes next.

Really high quality video! Very informative great stuff

while you may have already done this, I feel like you could see some engagement more through possibly doing more short form on various platforms. i mean you certainly have the charisma, experience and video production that I have seen works countless times for others. anyways, praying you see the growth you deserve soon, I'm looking forward to more videos hopefully :)

Such a shame about the lack of growth. It's quite telling that some of the really big drinks channels have sort of stopped doing proper cocktail-making now, and just keep chasing the algorithms with silly stuff like "Look, I tasted this gross thing! Urgh!", or "Let's make the worst cocktail possible! Lol!" It instantly makes me unsubscribe, but clearly the masses lap up that stuff (just like they lap up the fake versions of the pornstar martini, I guess). I really hope you find a way around it, I think your content is great personally!

Great video mate. You’ve earned a sub from me. I’ve never seen this drink here in Australia, but you’ve inspired me to try making it for myself.

I really hope you gain popularity. This level of high quality content deserves credit

Appreciate ya, man.

Makes you wonder why they just wouldn't lead with this...? It's so good! And easy?

Great video mate , glad to see the OG recipe being used. Even in Australia you see it on bar menus with lime or pineapple juice added . I use this same OG recipe when i do events in my mobile bar.

I’ve had this drink, made my Joe, and it is phenomenal 👌

Forgot to mention, I simply add a dash or 2 of vanilla essence to my jigger and top it to 30 ml of vodka. It works very well. Nick from York

Hi Joe, well made. I have made this for myself back in 2020. Not since! My Ghanaian son in law wanted to try it andbI made it for him. I make my own passion fruit syrup, mainly for the Saturn cocktail. I simply strain out the juice from 3 or 4 passion fruit, add a dash or 3 of simple syrup and top up with Wray & Nephew OP rum as a preservative. As, Saturn after Saturn weeks apart, reduce the level, I add anotherb1 or 2 passion fruit strained juices and a modicum of rum. Passion fruit syrup and or Passoa does go in some other drinks. But so few I have had my Passoa bottle for at least 3 years. I suggest you try a Saturn with your bottle of the PF purée. Nick from York

Failure to grow is unfortunately just an element of what RUclips is now, there are a lot of people on the platform... like, A LOT, and the biggest fish hold the most eyeballs until the algorithm randomly sends people to you out of nowhere. I mean, that's how I found you, I had looked up cocktails from Bartender and a few days later you were in my recs. Every creator I've ever seen has said growth is mostly slow with some massive jumps at times, and repeat engagement is very hard to count on, sadly.

Very nice! I love smoky drinks. My go to is smoky scotch sour with olives

Love the editing and effects on the video

RIP to that bottle of ango!

Great drinks, great video, fantastic set, keep it up Joe!

Excellent show Joe. Very interesting too. Nick from York

The close-ups look particularly good on this one! And the music choice really brings the second half to life!

wonderful

Sir, thank you for this video. ( checking in from Oklahoma) I've been " experimenting " with a cocktail smoker and looking for both tips and cocktails that I can use it. I'm a " sucker " for Scotch and Scotch cocktails as well as bourbon and rye and always seeking different cocktails to add smoke to them. Great AND informative video... here in the region i live in we have Mesquite, Pecan, Maple and Hickory as well as walnut, apple and peach wood available.

Hi Joe, I made this last week. Same Cachaca, but I used simple syrup rather than granulated sugar. I agree it is a very nice drink. Nick from York

I really like the look of the Tiberius Sour :)

You have such an enchanting screen presence, I cannot begin to imagine how you have not gone viral yet. I would love an episode on/including homemade spiced rum as the store-bought stuff is quite poor. Anyhoo, you are making wonderfully heartfelt and informative content on a site where there's less of those things each day, keep at it!

Great video! Wondering how different the recipe would be for a soldier or sailors punch (non affluent punch)?

I wanted to comment because I'm not a cocktail drinker, but I watch a lot of explainer/craftsman types of videos (for example, wood craft, despite not being a wood worker). I love your presentation style and very much enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you're doing. :)

Hi Joe, good show. I keep vodka in the freezer to drink with cured fish alongside a cold glass of lager and crispbread. I have tried keeping gin and blended whisky in the freezer too but found only that it did not come across with its full flavour. Nick from York

Speed. Power. GIN.

Great video! Youre tempting me to go spend way too much to get the ingredients for the egg drop lol I also love that Japanese bartenders wipe the bottle after pours. My bottles would be a lot less crusty if i did that...

great video!

Jesus slammed Gatorwine confirmed

Hey, this guy makes some good stuff ☝

W vid, but bro reminds me of Oaken from Frozen

This content is actually amazing

very underrated channel

I've not seen the video in question but my guess is he serves them in cups for serving matcha as they are usually clay and sorta look like clay sake cups or unglazed tea cups but larger.

That looks exactly on point. I wasn’t gonna try this, but now I’m having second thoughts! LoL

I thought I had stumbled upon a large food-history channel like Max Miller's because of the extremely good quality of the video. It wasn't until halfway through it that I realized it came from a smaller content creator. Sir, I guarantee you'll blow up at any second, I have seen this before many times, the algorithm is usually a bit slow to get started, but when it does, you'll be everywhere.

Holy shit how do you have only just over 1k subs lol, your content is great

Wild, as a catholic the sponge soaked in vinegar was taught to me as a taunt towards Jesus, when it actually was an act of piety.

I love Hakushu 12 and I love Benromach 10, but I wouldn't call them similar to one another except on paper. Can't see how you can go wrong with either one, neat or in a cocktail, but you will have a different experience for sure! (Benromach is dirty in the best possible way, Hakushu is clean in the ... also best possible way.) Enjoyed this episode, even if I am the kind of Western curmudgeon who wants a $25 cocktail for his $25, not a $10 cocktail and a $15 show.

I've been a bartender for a few years and I've never seen anyone hold a jigger like that before (between the index and middle fingers). Is that some kind of special technique?

Is it shaken? Stirred? Because it really makes a difference, said my old close friend of mine who somehow keeps on ditching me in a bar for some reason i do not know.

caipirinha on a hot summer day is the best

Hi Joe, verym8nteresting, but if the Scottish honey couldn’t kill the acidity then it would certainly have been unpalatable! Nick from York

So the world’s 1st cocktail?
