CORRECTION - I accidentally stated that bourbon needs to be aged in American oak but this isn’t true. It is aged in new, charred oak casks.

I like this video format a lot, maybe you could try this out with other spirits too?

[raymondtan]

It was always makes my day when Steve smiles when he does the shake

Here we go! My annual 2 month period, where I absolutely binge all of your video's in preparation for New Year's Eve. Cheers, Steve! I can always count on you for inspiration.

I bought your cocktail book, and it's fantastic. The Whiskey section is my favorite, the bourbon cocktails specifically. I love the Gold Rush the most so far, but the Whiskey Sour and Whiskey Smash are really close behind.
You're 100% right that honey just works so well with Bourbon, cheers.

There’s nothing to dislike or critique about anything you put out. Nothing but amazing content. Very impressive from seeing your older videos, to having a baby and now making a book with the Codes to bring you to a video.

Outstanding, Steve.

Congratulations!

My entire life is based on eating and making drinks and you amongst a few other YouTubers which you’re well aware of are partly the reason for that and I thank you!

Cheers!

I just followed your recipe to a tee for the Gold Rush- made my own honey syrup for the first time. This drink is sooo good! After a trip to bourbon country have become a connoisseur of bourbon 🥃

[patrickdearing]

One of my favourites is the bourbon blush, blueberries, simple syrup, lemon juice and bourbon, muddle the blueberries, wet shake pour over iced, pretty and delicious

Steve, my favorite part of your channel of course is your drink mixology skills but right there as number 2, the little thing you do while shaking drink when you go from serious/concentrated to smiling at the camera. Class mate, CLASS!!

Steve, love your channel! We tried the Brown Derby tonight and have designated it as a “DD” (dangerous drink). Drinks that are so tasty, so smooth, go down so easy so you can easily drink 3 before you realize you’re in trouble! 😂 Great stuff, mate! Keep the mixology coming, we’re dedicated fans! Cheers!

[thespaceman]

Steve thank you for helping me become a better bartender with your videos and recipes. Hope the best for you and your business!

[waynegranger]

Thanks! Help from Texas! You're my go-to for drink recipes, educational and entertaining (my wife has a crush on you, I'm jealous). Keep on smiling and shaking!

[theukyankee]

I'm a huge bourbon fan and you showed me a few new cocktails. Yay!

[garlicgirl]

I remember long ago on YouTube before it got all fancy with countless ads and bartenders talked about the Whiskey Sour controversy with the egg white. It was quite fun to listen to the arguments. So, one happy Friday I decided to make it at home. I think I used your recipe. OMG! A game changer. You really do not know there is egg in there. It is beyond delicious and changed my view forever.

[mybartender]

The step-by-step demonstrations, coupled with useful tips and variations, make it easy for viewers to recreate these delicious beverages at home. The visuals are visually appealing, with close-ups of the mixing process, garnishes, and the final presentation, adding to the overall appeal of these cocktails.

Finally a book to sit proudly on the shelf… when it isn’t being over used at the spare room bar! Cheers Steve, love the videos -inserts big smile-

Buffalo Trace is my FAVORITE daily drinking and mixing Bourbon.

[knotslip]

Great video! I'm definitely going to try the Gold rush and the whisky smash. Also, I like using the orange bitters for the old fashions - it adds a little orange kick. Thanks!

[bayprkr]

Steve, I am so new to my bartending journey and your videos have been a life saver! ❤
