Chris Tunstall

“I started bartending because I fell in love with the craft of the cocktail and got so much satisfaction from making a great drink. But when I started trying to design my own cocktails, I struggled to find great resources to help me learn all the info I needed to make great drinks.

It took years to teach myself – but it was worth it. I’ve had opportunities to design cocktail menus, work with brands, and consult for bars and restaurants all over the world.

Now I’ve built this program to share what I’ve learned so you can get all the info in one place and enter the world of craft cocktails. Whether you have some experience already or not, you'll learn how to build your skills and gain confidence in making your own amazing drinks.” - Chris

What I didn’t realize I needed

I’ve recently started growing my at-home bar collection - making drinks on weekends for my wife and I. While I was doing… ok - I was just blindly trying different things until my wife told me something tasted good. This course gave me the knowledge about different spirits, their expected pallet, and how to best blend the flavors together to make a good cocktail. I can now taste or ask, is it too sweet? too sour? too bitter? and know how I can work to balance that flavor out without just a blind guess. Would definitely recommend this for anyone hoping to start making their own cocktails at home!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're thrilled to hear that our Bar Basics Course has helped you elevate your at-home bar game and gain a better understanding of different spirits and how to create well-balanced cocktails. Cheers to many more tasty drinks with your wife!

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 !
