I filmed a few matcha cocktails a while back... but I think the matcha trend is declining and I'm a bit too late 😆

I took the opportunity to create a few original cocktails (with my wife); 2 tropical and 1 clarified. Fairly chuffed with how they turned out!

Stay tuned for the video to be published later in the week.

Alternatively, you can get early access and watch it ad free on Patreon (from $2/month): bartend.link/patreon-matcha-drinks

p.s. I'll be continuing to share more and more content over on my Patreon (ad free, early access and exclusive videos)... there are other perks available and you can chat with me directly too.

The Perfect Manhattan-Old Fashioned Hybrid...

A smooth, well-balanced cocktail that brings together bourbon whiskey with Cynar (an Italian bitter liqueur) for a drink that's both familiar and intriguing. It's got enough complexity to keep things interesting without being overly complicated - the kind of drink that works whether you're winding down after work or impressing friends at a dinner party. Easy to make, easy to drink, and definitely easy to enjoy.

# Important Update for My US Customers 🇺🇸

Hey everyone!

I wanted to give you a quick heads up about shipping my cocktail bitters (orange, chocolate, and coffee) to the United States. Due to the current tariff situation, Australia Post isn’t able to process tariff payments before packages leave the country, which means I temporarily can’t send orders to the US.

The good news?
This should be resolved within the next 1-2 weeks as the postal service works out the logistics.

Even better news?
I’m offering up to 20% off all my cocktail bitters right now! This is the perfect time to:

✅ International customers - Order now and save 20%
✅ US customers - Place your order to lock in these savings, and I’ll ship as soon as the postal service issue is resolved

People have been loving my new range of bitters - the orange adds that perfect citrus complexity, the chocolate brings rich depth to whiskey cocktails, and the coffee bitters? Absolutely incredible in Old Fashioneds and Espresso Martinis.

Don’t miss out on this discount - grab yours now…

Get up to 20% off: bartend.link/cocktail-bitters

Thanks for your patience, US friends! I’ll update you as soon as shipping resumes. In the meantime, keep making great drinks!

Cheers! 🍸

After 10 years and 750+ videos, I've learned that YouTube success isn't just about views—it's about community.

Balancing content creation with family, work, and life has never been easy, but your support keeps me going. While my view counts have dipped lately (making ad revenue alone unsustainable), I'm reminded that the real value lies in the connections we've built together.

A massive thank you to my incredible crew of 72 supporters on YouTube and Patreon! You're a big reason I can continue sharing my passion for cocktails week after week.

For anyone wanting to join this amazing community and help keep the channel thriving, memberships start at just $2/month: bartend.link/STB-patreon

Here's to another decade of creating together! 🎬
