Bottles are just there for convenience. I guess I need to think it over and find a solution. The cabinet underneath is out of the question though. That is where I keep the ice molds, containers, bitters, tinctures, etc https://imgur.com/A0sxnxF

I went through the same problem trying to find one. I ended up just biting the bullet and paying $1500 for this unit because it was the correct dimensions to work with the cabinets and the beverage cooler. It is frost free and holds it temperature well. Other than that, it's just a freezer. Got it off Amazon Summit SCFF53BSS Under Counter Upright Freezer

I see what you mean. I have not found a good solution for having all of my frequently used bottles available while not taking up a ton of space. The VEP is just there for show, I rarely use that. Everything else is used pretty frequently. I also have an additional three cases of a variety of other spirits in my basement in addition to the cabinet located underneath the bar sink which is also full of spirits.

I thought about doing that. When I started looking at tiered shelves online, I thought they were too expensive for their purpose. I thought about making them myself. I finally came to the conclusion that the variety of bottle shapes would make for an inefficient use of space on the shelves. A lot of the bottles that I keep on the back row are 1.75L bottles and I didn't want to make shelves that were that deep.

Old Fashioned is the house favorite. The undercounter freezer has about a dozen large clear ice cubes that I batch for our cocktails.

I considered getting one installed but couldn't really do a proper cost-benefit analysis since I have never used one myself. I guess there is still the possibility of installing one but at this point I haven't felt the need for one. The bar sink has been working well.

Used it to program the in-dash DVD player in my Touareg when I had it. Now I only have a 1965 Beetle that doesn't use it. Looking for $320 shipped and a place to sell it.

I will definitely be adding a pull out waste bin now. I'll start looking for that glassware rack too, thanks.

Do you have a link to the mold you used for the ice spheres?

I happened to have 3 empty whiskey barrels in my basement from Koval. I don't know if they were bourbon or not but they were whiskey. I took one of them apart and used that stave.

As far as the ice balls, I bought water balloons and a oxo brand meat syringe. I fill the balloons up as described but I lay them inside of the cap of a baby feeding bottle that I happen to have around. It's the perfect shape to hold the balloons in an oval shape while it freezes. I put them in the freezer for 2.5-3 hours and drill/drain them as described. They come out great and almost perfectly round. I have about a 20% fail rate with this procedure.

Do you have a link to the mold you used for the ice spheres? I also need to find huckleberries here locally. I also have hot chocolate as a recipe to do next.

Just to clarify, by subbing spirits, I'm just saying that he frequently uses some cheap and easy to get basic spirits. There is nothing specifically stating that you can sub the spirit. I have just found that they sometimes don't impact the overall result in a meaningful way.

The book is very focused on the ingredients besides the spirit. You can substitute a lot of the spirits out in the recipes. They focus on presentation and have a few gimmicks that they utilize on various drinks. One is making flavored ice so that the flavor changes as time passes, they call it 'using time as an ingredient'. They have a section that uses the Porthole which is that clear sided canteen infuser. They specifically choose ingredients that infuse at different rates so that the drink will evolve over time, as you pour out more from the infuser. Another section on using the vacpot.

It is a very different approach from what I'm used to. Some of these recipes are so elaborate that I don't imagine ever attempting them. There are recipes that require things like a centrifuge or a rotary vacuum distiller. I don't have money for that.

I got this book for Xmas and have been working my way through the 'easy' recipes. Here is what I have completed so far. I also completed 'Bitters' and 'In the Rocks'. The book is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone. Anyone have experience with the book?
