The Progress Bar

Equal parts libations and motivation. Garnish is optional! Hosted by Coach Vino

How ya doin', I'm Coach Vino, the "People's Bartender" and I spent nearly two decades in the NYC beverage industry. However, during the dark ages of 2020, I left the industry to pursue my passion for coaching. I'm a firm believer that if you can help affect just one person through your words or actions, then it's all worth it. As a content creator, my goal is to fuse my passion for cocktail culture with my commitment to inspire and motivate people. Welcome to the Progress Bar. Hope you enjoy. Cheers!

    How did you find this beautiful drink? I'm going to have to visit this spot next time I come home. I love the creativity of some of these bartenders. I think some of the Tiki purists will have an issue with the definition of this being tiki. Gimme all the rum. Awesome video sir

    Thanks, brother. I'm pretty sure the tiki "purists" would find issue in anything "tiki" that I do unless I was wearing a tiki shirt and had tiki mugs all over my set. 😅

    Blending rums together makes the world a delicious place. I love drinks like this because it breaks expectations about rum being mixed with pineapple and guzzled while being roasted by the sun.

    Fascinating, this is such an ever-so-slight tweak, though I bet those tiki bitters make a *humongous* difference, they're packed with such intense flavor! I do love a good penicillin so I may have to try this.. and hope that I don't use a scotch that overwhelms on the nose... usually penicillins are put together with strong peated scotches, or at least a float or a mist of one.. i'd be curious to see how that will hold up against the pineapple and some good spiced bitters. Thanks for another great ep, Vino!

  • @CoachVinoLLC

    Hey David, the addition of pineapple and the tiki bitters really made for a more palatable cocktail. Tropical but still with that Penicillin bite. I tend to stay away from super peated Scotch/cocktails, so this really hit home. Cheers, pal!
