Hey! Jeff the bartender here. FYI, Dutch Kills has opened a cocktails-to-go window in NYC during the shutdown. If you’re in the area, swing by for a drink! Your support means the world. Hope everyone’s staying safe. ❤️ All your comments are hilarious btw. As for how many drinks were consumed and by whom - I’m taking the Fifth.

I've just found a new quarantine hobby right there

How to know someone’s a bartender:

1. Their breath smells like absinthe
2. They can hold ice with their bare hands for an incredibly long time.

I’m a big fan of the little trumpet noise introducing each drink

[KingOfNormans]

This video is strangely relaxing. Probably one of those I re-watched the most.

It also cemented the fact that cocktails are like 70% ice

[JakeWillSmith]

perfect amount of confidence and awkwardness in front of the camera.

[clydecledera]

Just imagine how many people he got drunk in the studio

[andreyshumilov]

This dude is not only showing us how to do various cocktails but at the same time explaining their names, stories, taste, look, occasion. I am very surprised in a good way by his passion. Well done.

[hahahahahaha]

I don’t really drink much or at all, but I just love watching people make drinks because there’s so much craft and artistry that goes into making these cocktails. Very enjoyable and interesting.

VIDEO REQUEST: Please bring this guy back to teach us how to build the essential home-bar.

Essential equipment and ingredients to make the largest amount of popular cocktails for guests.

I love when he say “big ice” when he pulls out Half an iceberg

[hairyurinal]

Me who doesn’t drink or even go to bars: “Man it sure is an absolute necessity to know exactly how to make these cocktails”

[CrimzinEclipse]

I like how the Vodka Martini is basically just iced Vodka.

[joshuapatrick]

Thanks to insomnia (and stress addiction?) I now know how to pair every cheese, chop every vegetable, slice every fruit, shell every shellfish and mix most cocktails!

[cannonball]

I can’t even drink alcohol and I watched the entire video, this man is way too entertaining

[iJerrrrrry]

What i've learned from this video: lemon twists everywhere and that he likes them

[joaomenegalebarbi]

Hey Jeff, I know you are most likely not reading comments on this old video anymore, but I just wanted to say that this video inspired me to learn more about drinks and cocktails, and now I got a job as a bartender! I still am just learning, but boy it's tremendously fun. Weirdly enough, the menu on me restaurant has like two or three of the drinks shown here.

Thank you for the inspiration!

[cohenowens]

I love how he was just explaining ice for thirty seconds but I wasn’t even paying attention because I was so amazed by the fact that he was just holding two ice cubes the whole time with no problem

[paletasdhielo]

Jeff casually spraying absinthe directly in his mouth is such a mood

[buckit_i]

There is just something really satisfying about making cocktails

It also makes it feel like you are concocting a potion
