They left 8 of us in the tasting room at the end with 5 different bottles and said to hit them up for more if we needed it! I may have passed out on the ride back to the resort. The resort we stayed at gave away Appleton bottles as prizes for all their dopey contests....we can home with 4 bottles a piece in our luggage!!!!! Good times!

I can't tell you how comforting it is to find out more and more all the time that Greg is into all of the very same things that I'm into. It's really the best

Glad to see Tequila + Coffee Liqueur making an appearance. It's such a weird combination that somehow comes out so botanical and weirdly good

This fits right into my wheelhouse. I drink a lot of coffee already and this just makes me want to drink even more of the wondrous substance.

Thanks for the awesome recipes! Coffee and booze are best friends! 🥃☕️

It should be some type of war crime that the Chiapparoni hasn't gotten world wide attention as the new trend drink. It's truly outstanding.

the spillage in this one is truly magnificent

I looooove these episodes where you experiment and come up with your own drinks. It shows how thoroughly you REALLY know your stuff

Coffee and Old Fashioned, two of my favourite beverages. Combining them is a genius idea.

Coffee episodes best episodes! Just yesterday I learned about horchata from the dalgona video and now I have a bottle resting on my fridge just waiting for when I get home to mix it up. I wish I could find Mr. Black where I live, though... every coffee liqueur I find in Brazil just tastes like coffee candy.

So far my favorite coffee cocktail, and one that's entered my standard repertoire, is, basically, a coffee boulevardier that i call the Red Dead Revolver: 2oz bulleit rye, 2oz kahlua, 1oz campari, and a ton of aztec chocolate bitters (~3-4 dashes), garnished with an orange peel. I'd like to see what it's like with Mr. Black or NOLA sometime but I haven't really been able to go out and grab a bottle.

Sweet sweet nectar of the gods this coffee.

@@MichaelThomas-qx8wb I think I went usually with a medium roast. But to be honest, I've done it with lots of different types of coffee, even fresh espresso. But cold brewed is the best with it I think. Oh and twist of orange in it to garnish is important too!

The cold brew old fashioned is fantastic. Really enjoyed it. Haven't tried the others, but fully intend to. Edit: Required some delivery, but now I've tried all three. Have to say I, they are all quite good. The coffee old fashioned and chiapparoni especially. I'll certainly be making those again. The blue mountain king is good, but not quite up with the other two. Has the best name though.

Yay Mr Black! I love that stuff. One of my favourite things to have as an after dinner drink.

I love your videos! Good balance of humor and how-to! The Mr. Black bottle/branding is also very cool. I like how the liquid disappears to reveal the design.

Woooo boy. Daddy's makin a Chiapparoni this weekend!

Just spitballing ideas for the Chiapparoni, but I like the name "Coffee Tiger". It conjures the image of the jungle with both the coffee and tiger, and you said that it had more of an attack than the Blue Mountain King, so the tiger references this attack, and also the color scheme (almost black drink with orange peel) fits the colors.

Because of the season I've been experimenting with pumpkin spice simple syrup. Right now I'm enjoying a Pumpkin Old Spice Fashioned.

As a professional barista, I can say orange juice and espresso mixed together is surprisingly and incredibly fucking pleasant

Woohoo! Australia! We got a mention!

Turns out they sell Mr. Black at the local Gelson's! Definitely gonna pick some up next time I am out, seems like a good addition to the home bar.

A cup of coffee together with a glass of orange juice is the best thing wirh breakfast! Fascinating how different tastebuds are.

I actually added a mocha old fashioned to my happy hour menu, so I was excited to see it done another way. These drinks look really good!

Just stumbled upon this, I have to say these sounds great and I love the slight slow-mo for the pours and the fact that he spills all over the place. It adds a more organic feel to the pouring rather than a "clean" pour which can seem doctored and less relatable for the average person. Great Job! Will definitely have to try some of these!

I like how he has such a big sweet tooth, but can also very easily appreciate very dry cocktails, and still enjoy and intensely describe the complexity of the flavor profile of dry stuff.
