I had a Ramos Gin Fizz (amongst other cocktails) from this very man last time I was in New Orleans and it was divine. Seriously, if you’re ever in New Orleans grab dinner at Cochon (which is absolutely amazing too) and head over to this Chris’ bar, hopefully while he’s working. I went on a Thursday and we were pretty much the only people so we ended up hanging out and talking with him for nearly two hours. He knows his stuff and obviously loves his work. I know I’ll be heading back!
One of my all time favorite cocktails…the perfect drink and he makes it beautifully.
He always say “ehh” in his his sentences. Not that I question his Bartender Skills.
Guys like this are a prime example of how bartending can be a real art.
I thought i was a decent bartender until I watched this video !! lol He is very professional and he knows what he is doing. Great video !!

@razzor7 You’re a Loser
@5:27, the foam outside the glass looks like a devil’s face LOL
hahah yo you have to shake 12 minutes no ther way hahaha
you have to shake for 12 minutes o.O ? i cant beleive it
@Nucleozoid you’re a bitch
@Bulldog22031 it’s 1.5oz of London dry gin and at the end, after the strain, you have to fill the glass with soda water stirring it all until you see the foam; anyway thank you for your description it’s useful for foreigners like me… congratulations to Chris McMillian too for sharing with us his knowledges
I absolutely love how he garnished the drink…. simply drooling the foam down the side of the glass
Brilliant!!!
My name is Mike from LA Although there busizz4me.info
taste good and is a aerobic workout great
This is great, Mr. McMillian is a true professional – he is the best bartender I have watched /heard on youtube.
If you do not have orange flower water, is there a substitute?
What happens if you do not shake the drink for the full12 minutes, lets say just 5 minutes?
@mygoatisdead no
@alski695 How about a hug, and double shot of bourbon?
@mygoatisdead Alot of anger in you i sense. hug?
I find it much easier to shake a Ramos Gin Fizz for upwards of 12 minutes using my built-in shaker machine. Take a seat and bounce it up and down on your knee. Much, much easier than just using your arms.
my favourite drink! i would give an arm to have one prepared by chris
12 minutes of shaking =S
@blackmidgetjew hes about 60, i would say hes spent at least 35 years as a bartender…
i would sacrifice 5 years of my life learning this mans skills and knowledge. this man knows what he is doing, i bet he has spend 10+ years devoting himself to the ways of the bartender…..
Give this man a TV show….
@mygoatisdead anyone that orders those types of drinks from him should get punched in the face.
