Hi Anders,
If you can find the time, could you please indicate where you found the bottles in which you keep lime and lemon juice ? They seem really practical !
Same for the small containers from which you pour your homemade syrups, quite the appropriate size !
Thank you for your hard work, your channel is amazing.
Hearing “welcome back, friends” makes me feel good. Anders come off very genuine and sincere.
The way I watch almost all of your videos is with the RUclips window open on one screen, and my Amazon shopping window open on the second screen. Even if I do not immediately purchase the things you mention, I at least add them to a wish list. Thanks again for these great videos and all the guidance you provide!
You always thank us for making it to the end of the list videos but personally I’m always bummed they’re over.
Great video Anders!!! I'm always looking to up my mixology game. So I guess having the right tools help. I have most, but I really like that channel ribbon peeler thing!!!!!
The channel knife was a game changer for me! You can get ridiculously long twists with that thing. Thanks, Tim!!
I freaking love my Lewis bag & hammer. I crush ice for no reason at all when I’m stressed. Ha! 🥃
I'm right there with you! They should offer those things to people for therapy 😂
Wanna come over and pound my meat flat for schnitzel?
@@Mister_Phafanapolis 🤣 🤣
Hey Vito, you can get your aggressions of the day out.
Great video man! Been digging your channel a lot🤙
Thanks, Nick! Cheers!
Best bar guy ever. Thanks for your video 🙏 it’s really appreciated.
Thanks, David!
My bar mat has been my most useful new addition. I have one for where I mix drinks, as well as beside my espresso machine for all the tools.
Awesome, just ordered the channel knife and peeler, wasn't happy with mine at all. Thanks Anders 👌
Glad you found it helpful, Trevor! I hope you enjoy the new tools 👍
Channel knife is definitely something I need. All good things to have. Super happy Christmas is right around the corner.
Absolutely! The channel knife is a game changer. Cheers! 👍
You said Kuhn Rikon almost right the first try :) It's a long stretched u in Kuhn because of the h and the stress is on the i in Rikon. They're about a 30 min drive away from my home and if I may i'd like to especially recommend their cooking pots, not their peelers. The high segment ones are made to last forever, we've had ours for over 20 years and my grandma has had hers for probably 30 or so. Excellent heat distribution and very easy to clean too.
Messermeister is german and means Knife master. I just love how you pronounce it😂
Like the mat you called ground Zero. I rate this video a solid 9/11.
Thanks, man. I have most of that but saw some things to up my game. Subbed to you....
Thanks, Ray! That means a lot. Cheers! 🥃
Love your channel! Would love to see a top 10 easy/beginner/classic cocktails video that are simple to make! :D
Excellent idea! Thank you for the comment!
Hi Anders, I've been watching you for a few weeks now, absolutely love the channel!
Can we have a video about your top tiki cocktails?
A good idea, Tobi - Cheers!
Well done, Anders. You have led me t purchase a Lewis bag. But yr scaring me w that ice pick talk. Issue responsible warnings w bag & mallet! 👀🤣
Haha. Only happy thoughts, Steve! 😂 Enjoy that Lewis bag! 👍
This guy's is awesome 👌
Awesome video, Anders! I've been looking into getting myself a list of things to get for when I start doing more at-home drinks and I've been struggling with the lewis bag. The one from sip barware doesn't seem to be available anywhere anymore (sadly). At least here in Germany I'm only able to find ones with single stitching which, in addition to the brand names consisting of random letter sequences, doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Do you have any (more recent) recommendations for a good quality bag?
The bar mat demonstration was fantastic. 😂
Haha. Still got a lot of it in the glass! 🍸
Hi Anders: Great videos. Thanks for all the info. Can you please advise which brand of bar mat you use? Thanks!
Awesome video. I know all these tools are great to have, but for me, since I got me a microplane, wow - really made the game much easier and more fun. But I need to get careful not to become overexcited and grate my finger. hehe Cheers!
Yes, be careful and try to contain your excitement! 😂
@@AndersErickson 😂 I need to keep focused just in case.
Lovin the vids thanks Anders…. Haven’t fully searched all of your vids yet but… can you point me in the direction for (something like)…. 5 Essential Cocktails…. Thanks in advance, Ned
Fun fact: viski is Finnish and means whiskey. Love your content!
Leon Trotsky is fine with crushed ice, thank you.
lol @ your 12in lemon spirals, your channel rly knife works!
Hahaha. Yeah sometimes I get a little carried away!
Can you do one on bar organization?!
Messer Meister💪🏻 you said that quiet correctly😅
Greetings from Germany Love your content
Thank you so much! It's good to know I've been saying the name properly - that's a rare thing for me 😂 Cheers!

Can you help me with the shot glass, you recommended in another video, the shot fit into the shaker perfectly for ease of draining any excess...thanks
I wanna know where you find nice glass pourers
Like for your citrus juices and such
fyi you miiiight have a fake dupe of the microplane from one of those amazon copy cat stores. I know bc im very picky about mine and almost bought this one - there's nothing better than the real thing! love the content!
Oh no, I hope not! I got the one I have from a brick and mortar store 6+ years ago, so it could be an older model. I'll definitely look into it though. Thanks for the comment!
Would like to clear up a common mistake, that has a bearing on the flavor: the "rind" is the whole skin of the citrus, it consists of two parts: the zest (sometimes also called "peel")- the colored part, and the pith - the white part. The vegetable peeler in the video was used to obtain the zest, not the whole rind. The zest and the pith have totally different flavors and textures, so it's important to specify and to know which is which.
You're right, what we want here is just the zest. Thank you for catching it and clarifying!
🙄
Love this - definitely going to grab one of those ice picks. Any tips on how not to cut yourself with a peeler? I have ptsd 😅
Oh no! I also have cut myself many times with a peeler. It’s no fun. The duller the blade, the more pressure is needed. So be sure you have a good blade! Good luck🤞
Just got that green peeler and it’s a game changer! So easy to control. Way better than any other peeler I’ve tried. Thanks!
Wonderful! I'm happy you like it! 👍
@@AndersErickson you might want to update your affiliate link for the Kuhn Rikon Y-peeler....Amazon shows "Currently unavailable." ☹
How (machine vs. hand, how hot/how cold etc.) do you wash the lewis bag, my good sir? Especially before the first use.
Are you able to set up your links to take us to the Amazon app, vs opening a browser inside RUclips?
Anders: What us your recommended soda water dispenser/system? Or do you now usually just use Trader Joe's carbonated soda water?
Catherine Tramell called. She said that's not at all how you use an ice pick.
😳😂😂
Sharon Stone special ice pick

That OXO peeler peels way too thin (for me) if you wanna actually twist and get a good oil spray. No pith = no thickness no mass = no backing to your twist, so it just…folds.
Your channel knife is called “Messermeister” which is German and means “Knife master” 😁😂
03:40 ... 1st pronunciation wins :-)
Lol, Messermeister is German for knife master. I guess it's appropriate, if it's so good.
Break the system, i use ice pick in leatherwork.
Why is a “Louis bag” called that? (Or is it Lewis?) I have done some research, but keep getting thrown down rabbit hole after rabbit hole because of search engines that want to correct my search.
How would i crush ice without fancy equipment?
I have had an... inconsistent experience making crushed ice with my lewis bag. I only seem to be able to produce near snow and large chunks of ice; very little in between. I'm wondering if it has to do with the 'mallet' that it came with : it's cylindrical in shape as opposed to a mallet, with a hammer shaped head. Any thoughts? I'm perplexed o__0
When crushing the ice I feel around for the larger chunks with one hand and try to aim for those with the mallet - otherwise I run into the same problem. You just have to be sure not to hit your fingers! Hope this helps, Samra!
Don't be a fool, wrap your tool...to place underneath the xmas tree as a gift ;)
Do you also now a good toolbag to putt everything in?
@Danny Housen • Keep an eye on craft stores. I keep a lot of my kitchen gadgets in a craft box made for stamping. Saves me from having a "junk" drawer to muddle through.

It’s the truth.

"I have the smallest one you can have."
It's alright. Seems like she loves you anyway.
I wrongly read the title as top 5 bar stools. not unimportant ofcourse, the ass needs comfort, but maybe a bit too far fetched of a subject for a cocktail channel to discuss... now I need to know which bar stools are essential.. damn it!
