Thanks, Brian! Yes, it is a typo. Fixed. Happy Thanksgiving!
This discussion makes me wonder if there is a direct correlation between brown spirits being mixed with soda and clear spirits (like gin in a gin and tonic) or liqueurs or amaraos, etc. (like in an Americano) being mixed with soda and the bad/good effects therein. Now, surely there are those who enjoy a whiskey and soda. I am not one of them. I think it does not enhance the taste of a whiskey. What would a carbonated Suburban be like I wonder?
LeeAnne, Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy all our videos on Small Screen Network! Simple syrup is a sugar and water mixture (usually 1:1 or 2:1) that is used to sweeten cocktails. Here is a great example of how to make rich simple syrup by our host Jamie Boudreau on his show Raising the Bar: http://www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/450/raising_the_bar_rich_simple_syrup/ Cheers!
Blair, I hold heartedly agree! Robert made a wonderful Calvados Cocktail a while back. You can watch it being made here: http://www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/264 Cheers and Thank you for watching!
Just a typo. That should read 1/4 oz sweet vermouth. I will make the change now.
Ethan, The event is on January 14th. Thanks for catching that. i have updated the post. Colin
Thank you so much for your comment S. Matzke. As a small company we know that quality counts. We also know that true fans of the show come back every week because of the story Robert tells. I hope you continue to enjoy the show for years to come. Sincerely, Colin Kimball President, Content Development Small Screen Network
Jas, Thank you for the compliment and your support. We hope you enjoy the current episodes as well as the future episodes we recently shot that will be coming out in March. As for the match/lighter question, I will let the scientists in the community answer that one: -> Thank you for watching! Colin Kimball President, Content Development Producer Small Screen Network
Here is an interesting use of bitters: Food Guru - $50 Mac and Cheese
donbert, The ratio applies to the whole drink recipe not just the simple syrup. Back in another episode (I do not recall which at the moment) Robert discusses what ratio he uses in creating his simple syrup. I will let him explain further about the type of sugar he uses. Sorry about the confusion. I will change to reflect this better in the site. Colin
Jeffrey, You can watch Robert making the Vieux Carre here: http://www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/99/vieux_carre/ Thanks for watching!
Steven, you can also watch Jamie Boudreau, host of Raising the Bar on Small Screen Network, double strain the delicious breakfast Collins here: http://www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/480/raising_the_bar_breakfast_collins/ Thanks for watching! Colin
The iPod/iPhone and Apple TV downloads are under the Podcasts section to the right of the player. You must be registered as a member to access them.

It does have orange juice in it......
Sorry about the typo in the recipe area. I have made the change. Thanks for your keen eye!
Hello All, There is a mistake in the recipe at the end of the video. I put and extra ounce of Limoncello in. It should read 1/2 oz Limoncello. Sorry for the mistake! Colin
Thank you all or your comments. I will skip the direct response as I believe my business partner Brain did a great job at explaining how we run our business and that your comments are very valuable to us. This brings up an issue that we have debated here at Small Screen Network: to add subscription fees or not. The current incarnation of this in my mind is to offer all our current and future content for free to all. The downfall would be that it comes with ads and sponsorships attached. The next level would be for audience members who do not want ads and feel it either detracts from their viewing experience or the content in general. Each member would decide if they wanted to pay for one episode or a whole series. The price would correspond accordingly. My hope is that people are willing to pay for high quality content if the price is right. If you are not, why? We would love to hear your opinion on this. Please email me directly or comment here. Thanks! colin@smallscreennetwork.com
Martin, I will stop by and grab one with my wife when we are in NYC in August. Still haven't been to Painkiller! What a great excuse to stop by!
I am glad you bring HD up Rob. We just shot a whole new season of The Cocktail Spirit all in HD!! All of our new series, like Resonance, a series on independent music, will be in HD from now on. Colin
Johan, Thank you for your comment. I went back over the episode and you are indeed correct. I have made changes accordingly with the exception of the video. It would just take too long to re-encode. The site now reflects the proper mixing method. Keep the comments coming!
Thank you for the praise, Cecelia. We will let Jamie know your thoughts.
Johan, our ever vigilant viewer! We have fixed it for you on the site. Thanks for watching!
