Unless you're trying to make a drink for a woman, why wold you even need to make a cocktail? Either drink it straight, or with a splash of whatever. Cocktails are sugar bombs that prolong the goal of drinking, which is getting drunk.

Fuck off.

Sounds like he's talking about How To Drink.
His whole schtick is that he delves into the history of a drink for a few minutes and then spends another few minutes tasting the drink and giving his personal impressions.

How To Drink is the worst offender but you the fact that you can't monetise Youtube videos shorter than 10 mins means that lots of other channels try to do the same thing.

There's still plenty of older videos from before people tried to make money on Youtube, even. Just use the filter to search for videos shorter than 5 minutes.
Or, y'know, google a print recipe.

add 3 minutes load time and a mb of mobile data if you're on an phone and decide to just have a neat quadruple scotch

if you want something "free" in current year, you have to sit through ads and other bullshit to increase monetization. or you can just download a cookbook.

Who the fuck wants to do cocktails but doesn't bother getting half the fucking ingredients required? At least start with lime juice and simple syrup and try out a variety of sours, then start dabbling by adding one ingredient bit by bit.

Also, there's not that many variations for cocktails. A lot of it is understanding not only the interplay of the ingredients that fit in the categories (sour, sweet - splits into two categories: liqueur and syrup, spirit, aromatized wine, bitter, weak - mostly ice, but also certain juices).
