Visit the show notes for ISI Whipped cream recipes. I’ve seen some sped-up extraction recipes.
How can you tell if its real ice? …It melts.
Time 3:45…….
Different levels of carbonation for different brands
Real Maple or Honey does change the mouth feel, LINK to brands and their level of carbonation. Sometimes a high level of carbonation is great because some recipes have a lot of other ingredients competing for the total volume of the drink itself.

Espresso Tonic recipe, Levi uses just a hint of espresso in his recipe to allow for coffee to be the background flavor, rather than having it dominate the flavor profile.

Foolish Things Coffee Company, don’t be foolish, ask questions.
Oak Aged Cold Brew Float - was cool, you can use a brand like Time & Oak to get those flavors. They used local ice cream but not enough, lost the woody-flavor but like the idea and it was fun.

Do the next thing, hop on Yelp and find a cafe then ask the barista ‘where should I go next?’ and they may direct you to some wonderful place or party that only the locals know about. I also use Yelp to bookmark places I will visit in the future when you’re in that town.

Why don’t we list the barista that came up with that signature drink like they do at fancy bars?
