I've got some things to say about the industry. Bartenders who want to tear down others, and about America's liquor industry. Specifically, the "Three-Tier System" and the near monopoly of distributors, a monopoly created by antiquated laws that hurt craft distillers and brewers. And in honor of their suffering under this system, I'll also show you how to make a Suffering Bastard. A simple classic cocktail with brandy, gin, lime, and ginger beer. 00:00 - Intro 00:49 - Suffering Bastard Recipe 02:58 - Ranting about "Elitist" Bartenders 05:40 - Distributors - Gatekeepers of the Industry 09:12 - Outro Music: 1930s Seedy Street Music - Daniel Carlton from Pixabay #cocktails #cocktailrecipes #craftcocktails #mixeddrinks #cocktail #classiccocktails #gin #bartender #brandy
