I have ticked the "Paid Promotion" option for this video. However, NO money has changed hands for me to make this Content. Nor has anyone asked me to make specific statements or make claims.

Full disclosure, Drinkstuff are a client of mine, which has come about as I've been a customer of theirs since 1998. I love the company and what they offer. So I now get access to lot of these Syrups, Purees, Bitters, Bar Tools and Glassware. Many items I use, including Spirits & Mixers through other sources, are gifted Free of Charge. But I'll only use brands that I really LOVE and would stock if I was still running a Bar.
