Video Description
Don’t throw out chipped or even broken glasses, fix them with gold instead. This is a bar hack I learned while attending a bar show in Poland, but in reality this Japanese technique dates back over 600 years. It’s called kintsugi, and it’s not only an art that turns damage into the most beautiful part of an object, but also a way for bars to save thousands of dollars with a single repair technique. So today I’ll show you how to use kintsugi to repair a chipped glass, and then a fully broken mixing glass, which we’ll use to remake one of the earliest Cocktail Time recipes, perfectly suited for this gold-filled episode. So if you’re a fan of sustainability, craftsmanship, and cocktails, you’re in the right place. It’s Cocktail Time!
