Channel Knife Gold
Michael Nolen
Channeling everything

Channel knife works great. I've used it on lemons, limes and oranges, so far. It makes garnishment really easy.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Channel Knife Gold. We're delighted to hear that it's been working great for you and making garnishing a breeze. Keep channeling those fruits and creating beautiful presentations! Cheers!

Simple and Focused

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to get into bartending whether as a full time profession or just a hobby or temp work. They really keep things simple and easy to understand while still covering a wide range of topics. It is easy to understand and digest regardless of your background. Overall, easy recommendation. I do have a couple recommendations which I outline in the video.

Advanced Mixology Certification Program

I recently completed the advanced mixology program, as the owner of a distillery (and primary cocktail creator) I wanted to take the advanced course as I know the basics. I found the course very educational and helpful, I immediately implemented the tactic to combat the odor from egg whites, and the use of citric acid for balance. I was hoping for more on garnish techniques' The course is easy to understand and the ability to retake the quizzes was a great way to learn more! My only suggestion would be for the final practical exam to have the first sheet to state "Starting Recipe" as I was confused on what page to begin with. I look forward to officially receiving my certificate and starting another course!

Stirred Not Shakened

First of all, Britlyn s the greatest to work with. She made wonderful suggestions. I ordered 2 of the 10 PC. Stirred sets. 1 for me and 1 as a gift. They arrived in 5 days, well packaged. Stainless steel has a very nice polished finish. All the tools have a substantial weighted and balance feel. It has really made me step up my cocktail game. I use to just pour ingredients over ice in a rocks glass and called it a cocktail. Lol! I also purchased the channel knife so I'm doing some fancy garnish work now,too. Thanks again. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Michael Nolen p.s. Will review the shaker set and bar mats later. I can't decide if I like the Japanese or the bell jigger more. I'm using them both equally. Bye for now.CHEERS !

Mixicology Certification

I can confidently say it was a worthwhile experience. The structure of the program balanced both theory and practical application, making it easy to follow while still challenging enough to sharpen my skills.

The course clearly outline techniques and how to use ingredients clearly, which gave me a solid foundation. I especially appreciated the emphasis on classic cocktail families like sours, fizzes, and highballs.

The hands-on portion of the course was the highlight. Getting to practice muddling, shaking, layering, and even experimenting with egg whites and infusions really elevated the learning process. The final practical exam designing and presenting our own cocktail pushed me to be creative while still applying everything we had learned.

Overall, the course was engaging, fun, and very educational. It gave me confidence not only in mixing drinks but also in understanding why certain techniques and ingredients work the way they do.

Great bar mat

I love the mat. It is very good quality. Its thick and holds the spills from getting on my counter. The color I picked matches my countertops just as pictured. It is also easy to clean. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with our Gray Silicone Bar Mat. We are thrilled to hear that you love the quality and functionality of the mat, as well as the color matching your countertops. We take pride in offering products that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you for recommending our product!

So far, so good.

Halfway through and it’s informative. I would say I was expecting more about techniques and drinks than very basic, basics. It’s definitely geared towards someone who has never set foot in a bar setting. It’s a good refresher though!

Excellent! Very easy-to-follow explainations!

Highly recommend for anyone in the industry starting out or an at-home cook ready to build their drink portfolio. You will add lots of value to your bartending skills with their course!

Works great with oranges, lemons, and limes.

Hi there! Thank you for your review. We're so glad to hear that our stainless steel citrus juicer is working great for you with oranges, lemons, and limes. Happy juicing!

It requires more skill than I thought to fill two glasses at the same time. I will keep trying

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We understand that using a Hawthorne strainer can take some practice, but we believe in your skills and know you'll get the hang of it soon. Keep trying and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any tips or advice. Cheers!

Xarope

Ansiosa para começar! O preparo e manuseio corretos do xarope fazem toda a diferença no sabor e no resultado final do drink. Um xarope bem feito eleva a qualidade da coquetelaria, e estou animada para aprimorar minhas técnicas e criar experiências únicas nos meus coquetéis

Can a girl have too many Boston Shakers?

This is my second Boston Shaker from A Bar Above, and I love it! It’s so well made and balanced. It seals perfectly and is easy to crack open. I also got a 4-prong strainer which works really well with the shaker. Solid! Highly recommend!

Favorite Barware

Got these as a gift, I use a lot of A Bar Above’s stuff personally and it’s my favorite - so it made a perfect gift. Even the packaging was really nice, subtle yet elegant, and of course all of the actual stuff inside is the same quality I’ve come to expect!

Channel Knife Stainless Steel

The best bartender's tool on the market, it's accurate, stylish, comfortable, and it has measurements that no other jigger offers.

Like being at work

This is a great shaker: excellent seal, feels great in the hands, cleans very well (even the time I was lazy and put it in the machine).

Brings back good memories from when I was behind the bar full time.
