I was really sad when i finished watching the Howcast cocktail series with Tom Macy. I'm really glad i found these tutorials because I really enjoy Tom Macy and his style and did not to have to find another bartender to watch on YouTube.

Brilliant tutorial! Can't believe I never thought to prep before hand instead of doing it as I go. Thank you!
Tom Macy
Hi Beri, thanks! I know, it makes a big difference and keeps everything moving smoothly. A clean station is a fast station. ;) Cheers!

I truly enjoy your instructional videos. I always learn so much. I consider them the America's Test Kitchen of cocktails which is, for me, high praise.
