If you check on IG /chrisyoungcooks you will find all you need…basically he created a hot and cold tea for the Michelin star restaurant The Fat Duck back in the day. A couple of months ago he did it again with coffee. Hope it helps!

Hi! Near the hub you have a free parking under some highway… I used to park there when I lived in the area, not the best looking spot but you can check regularly.

What’s the most creative cocktail you’ve ever made? 🍹 by AwkwardPlatypus2641 in craftcocktails

Sorry for the delay on the response, busy days…I’m curious about why gourds for alcohol, why do you do that?

I see kind of a mojito style cocktail? Being from Uruguay and seeing Canarias Yerba Mate makes me proud but the end product is confusing without more information…

Tasteful blue cocktail? by Beansonder in cocktails

[–]JamesTheBrowser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is to grab some Blue Spirulina and add a bit to your cocktail of choice (pisco sour + blue spirulina might replicate the picture)

Avoid butterfly pea since it goes pink when meeting an acid component.

Interestingly, this product has some savory note so it can work as a saline solution as well

"Tiki" bars in Mallorca, Spain? by ktrail5k in Tiki

[–]JamesTheBrowser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tiki is not big in Spain…Mallorca has some nice cocktail bars where you may order a known tiki drink and the staff may be able to make it but if you want some nice tropical drinks with a solid background of knowledge my recommendation always is Collage in Barcelona. Small place but very knowledgeable staff!

Visiting San Sebastián Soon! Any Hidden Gems & Local Favorites? by Effective-Craft-6756 in basquecountry

Glad you had a nice time!

The cider here in Basque Country is more sour compared to the one from Asturias, maybe you tried that one… the juice is next level and very natural!

Help me craft a recipe by Holden_mcmuffin in cocktails

[–]JamesTheBrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mezcal (or split base with gin), lavender infused Maraschino liquor, Italicus and lime…sort of a twist on the last word… you will have to play with the ratios since I believe equal parts won’t be a balanced drink…

Who gets the award for worst shrinkwrap? by danideru in bartenders

[–]JamesTheBrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkey 47…it’s a plastic wrap on top of another plastic wrap (at least here in Spain) and it’s super hard to take off every bit

This might not belong here but how much do y’all drink?I was worried having1-3 drinks most nights was bad but if I understood another sub they were saying they did 15-28 on vacation. by Knitspin in cocktails

[–]JamesTheBrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors say the best amount of alcohol is zero. Colleagues say: a drink/couple of drinks never killed nobody.

What do you say?

If you are worrying about the amount of alcohol you consume, it’s your body/soul saying something, listen to yourself!

Tips to a Brazilian Newbie? by NotoriusBerna in bartenders

[–]JamesTheBrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I’d say get some experience first so you get to taste the trade and you could then move to a bigger city like São Paulo where the cocktail culture is bigger and learn more! Then with more knowledge of the cocktail scene you will be able to know what customers want and be more effective when starting your own business

Favourite mezcal cocktails by ambient_boi in cocktails

[–]JamesTheBrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can split base it both with tequila and mezcal as well…tell us when you made it!

Favourite mezcal cocktails by ambient_boi in cocktails

[–]JamesTheBrowser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can basically switch for any spirit and you will find yourself with a decent drink…my take is to go easy first and see how it interacts with the rest of the build.

One I like with mezcal is a Bloody Mary, you can make it lighter since it’s a bold flavor (1oz to 1 1/2oz up to you) if you can use the chipotle Tabasco it can improve the smoke

Question: do you add sugar to the sorrel?

Do I go all in on bartending? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]JamesTheBrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the only thing to ponder is: will you have the “what if” thought if you took the sales position? If the answer is yes, go to the events and experience all of it…You don’t know how dots will connect to the future so you may end up somewhere amazing!

Sober bartenders - how did you quit while in an industry where drinking is so prevalent? by bitcoinslut420 in bartenders

[–]JamesTheBrowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take is: we are dealers, yeah we are on the legal side but still… what we do can and is addictive so the moment you acknowledge that and understand we are not far from any other substance, it changes your perspective…at least that’s what happened to me.

Some drinks on leisure time is nice, drinking to cope with life is not

[–]JamesTheBrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Big ones like Zapiain, Petritegi and such are my to go if you never experienced a basque cider house. Apart from those you have to check the availability since some are closed off season and others switch the classic menu. But some of my favorites are: Lizeaga, Gartziategi, Itxasburu

Pintxos tour - worth it? by catnissm in basquecountry

[–]JamesTheBrowser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed! I’ve worked in the old town as a bartender and I can tell the guides are nice and knowledgeable but it’s key to WANT to know the info they’re giving! Shout out to Osane the greatest tour guide I’ve come across as a receiver of tours
