I Read My Funniest Comments of 2025… While Making My Favorite 2025 Cocktails 🍸🎉

2025 was a wild year behind the bar. Tonight, I’m making some drinks, reminiscing on my favorite cocktails of the year, calling out some truly unhinged comment sections, and crowning my Bottle of the Year. This isn’t about being right or wrong. It’s about balance, experimentation, and not taking cocktails or the internet too seriously. If you enjoyed the channel this year and want to support what I’m building, I’ve opened up a membership section. Totally optional, genuinely appreciated. Raise a glass and let’s close out the year together. 00:00 – Intro 00:38 – Champagne Cocktail 01:45 – Pronunciation Police 03:49 – Daiquiri Gatekeeping 05:19 – The Improved Appletini 07:23 – Vodka Wars 09:32 – Pseudo-Science Corner 09:58 – Big Ice Conspiracy 11:127 – Pumpkin Spiced Eggnog 12:27 – Bottle of the Year: Smith & Cross 13:10 – Champagne Snowball 14:12 – Grandma the Bootlegger 15:49 – Cheers to 2026 Subscribe to Rob's home bar to learn how to make cocktails at home, homemade liqueurs and other home bartending basics. 🛑 SUBSCRIBE HERE ➡ https://bit.ly/34RTUuB ✅ Let’s Connect! 🔹Instagram ➡ http://instagram.com/robimx 🔹Facebook ➡ http://facebook.com/robbaldwinweb 🔹Twitter ➡ http://twitter.com/imxproductions 🔹My Website ➡ http://robertbaldwin.ca/ 🔹IMX Productions ➡ http://imxproductions.com/ 🥃 *Bar Equipment* 🍹 Bar Cart (Mine is discontinued, this one is similar) https://amzn.to/2MfPTJO Bar Mats https://amzn.to/3ar1ZaX BarFly Jigger https://amzn.to/3arrx7E Julep Strainer https://amzn.to/2Yy026T Hawthorne Strainer https://amzn.to/2NPW3QZ Fine Mesh Strainer https://amzn.to/36zewYy Boston Shaker with Glass Top https://amzn.to/2NMNWEQ Lewis Bag & Mallet https://amzn.to/3rbXzLL Long Spoon-Straws https://amzn.to/2Meplsn Moscow Mule Mugs https://amzn.to/3cufwB3 Mint Julep Cup https://amzn.to/2NVae7z Nick & Nora Glasses https://amzn.to/39ywmNj Collins/Highball Glasses https://amzn.to/36w5N9G Libbey Tiki Glass (x4) https://amzn.to/3ratBHZ Two Faced Tiki Glass https://amzn.to/3crhrXf 🎥 *Camera & Studio Gear* 📱 GoPro Hero 7 Black https://amzn.to/3alk2iE GoPro Head Strap https://amzn.to/2NW9uz2 GoPro Clamp https://amzn.to/3raYdcy MicroSD Card https://amzn.to/2MrmUCy iPhone 11 Pro https://amzn.to/3rb4Z1L Aputure Light https://amzn.to/3cw3fMo Sound Proof Tiles https://amzn.to/3tfTmsj Collapsible Green/Blue Screen https://amzn.to/3tfDlCy Blue Yeti Microphone https://amzn.to/3r8xAVu #NewYearsEve #Cocktails #HomeBartender #Mixology #CocktailYouTube #SmithAndCross #BarCulture #CocktailCommunity
