Bartending tools explained!

Let us know what your favourite bit of bar kit is in the comments!

When the Devil receives my soul in Hell, may he find the gift tag that states "Compliments of Cara Devine" For never has a lassie so fine led my soul astray so easily.

Is she Scottish??

Yeah, can you tell me what the straw is that you use on several of your drinks to taste them?

It doesn’t take hours to learn how to free pour. If you can count, you’re fine.

I am literally falling in love. With bartending ^_^

Who knew that all you needed to make a talk on bar equipment INTERESTING was to have someone like Ms. Devine narrate it in her usual MELLIFLUOUS voice! 😍😍😍

Why, if I’d had someone with Cara’s voice as my MATHEMATICS teacher all throughout my high school years, I’d be a world class ENGINEER by now! 🤓😄

Can you make a whiskey sour with rum ?

I am embarrassingly terrible at using a culinary knife to cut twists, so I simply use a good old, foolproof, injury-proof potato peeler.

Oh my goodness... I've been working with Americans (I'm Australian) lately and yes.. When I get up in the middle of the night and I'm super tired I feel like I have to speak another language to them and it's stressful. Please... never be afraid to ask a 2 second question in order to save hours of time later on! Even at the bar when you're ordering a drink

God, I love that scotish accent. There should be more scots in this world.

I love your accent and when you say …So Now You Know!😊

That's so funny you mentioned using a French Press carafe as a mixing glass, because after watching several of these videos, I came to the conclusion that I needed a mixing glass (even added a few options to my Amazon shopping list, to narrow down later). I was looking around my kitchen to see if I had anything already that I could use as a mixing glass, and the only potential candidate I saw was a big mason jar (but that obviously doesn't have straight sides). I didn't even think about the two French Presses I have leftover from that coffee brewing phase (before I evolved to pour-over). So thanks you for that tip. I don't need to buy a mixing glass - I already have two of them.

Thank you for the lightness entertainment and knowledge.

She could explain anything to me.. even how paint dries.

A standard shot here in Finland is 40 mls. Maybe that's why we have a reputation of being a drunken people.

Valuable info and a lovely delivery! ❤️

I absolutely enjoy watching your videos 😊

Did you mention a citrus press? What tool would you recommend to extract juices for cocktails? Thank you, by the way, for your quick reactions to my comments!

Thank you, Cara! I'm just getting started making my own cocktails and I found this video to be very useful, informative but not to lengthy. It was a bit of a challenge for me to stay focused on your knowledge, since I absolutely adore your accent. I don't know what my favorite bar utensil is, but I'm eager to find out!

Like fine wine

Amen

Amen

OMG! French press as a mixing glass! Brilliant, I had never even considered that. These kind of tidbits are why I love this channel :)

Thanks for letting me know 😀

What is a dram? I love your clear explanations. Thanks

The stupendous leo intermittently blink because ray disappointingly itch versus a silly australian. possessive, vast line

i wouldn't mind just listening to you, reading a dictionary. The Accent is just as beautiful as you are <3

The most common cocktail shaker in the world is called a Boston shaker, the most common cocktail strainer is the Hawthorne strainer named for a long-gone Boston bar, and for over 80 years the most popular cocktail reference book in the United States has been the "Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide." All of which amazes me because they roll up the sidewalks in Boston shortly after 9 p.m. Great video, by the way. So, I really don't need a muddler?

So now I know

This was so good. Very simple but thorough, and I love how you break through the pretentious stuff and say “here’s what you really need for a home bar” versus what’s a bit extra.

A jigger is a real unit of measure here in the USA it is equal to 1 1/2 oz commonly used here in Boston

I love that woman

Could you perhaps define the different types of “floozies” One might come across in a drinking establishment

Love to know where that giant jigger came from.

I'm not a bartender, but I have a whole lotta shot glasses and a cobbler shaker. My son is the bartender...

Ha you live and learn..................as a (now) 60 year old. I always had it down as something else.

A very dangerous word when typed blindly.

You don’t have a bar blade

I want to set up a home bar. I don't even drink anymore.

Splits and babies. God, I’m old.

Except in New Zealand where a single shot is 15 ml... (with the most beautiful Scottish accent): So now you know.

love the explanations, clears many questions
very nice channel to follow
moreover hearing that accent is a plus point

Somehow I missed this video. Thanks for sharing this. Very informative!

She knows 10 million English words

Can you make a video on Absynthe please? I find neat it tastes like dirt. What gives? What is its story?

My cobbler cap and body sometimes stick together and are hard to take apart. Is there some trick?

If you could go through the types of glassware with an eye towards what a person really needs it would be appreciated

I love you 😳😍😍😍

Cobbler shakers leak! ICE CUBE? I now pour about an ounce or 2 of water into a quality drinking glass and freeze it overnight. Instant large cube that melts slowly and keeps my cocktail cold.
