Blue Flower Growing in the Wall - A Toast to Jon Snow | How to Drink

- Game of Thrones is over and I'm making ONE LAST GoT drink, and it's a toast to Jon Snow, pulled from the House of the Undying.
**********************************
Last week's Game of Thrones finale sure was something wasn't it? Let's just forget that and mostly talk about the books this week, that sounds good. At the house of the Undying Daenerys has a series of visions, and one of them is of a Blue Flower Growing in Ice. I think that blue flower is Jon Snow, who's body will be stored in the "cold rooms" of the wall until a time at which someone will be in position to resurrect him. This drink is going to involve Pisco, Violet liqueur (or creme de violet) lemon juice, some simple syrup, a drop of absinthe, and a 1 inch spade bit on a high speed drill.
Blue Flower in Ice
• Prep Ice cavity
• One Dash Absinthe
• .25 or 7ml. Simple Syrup
• .25 or 7 ml. St. Germaine
• .5 or 15 ml. Lemon Juice
• 2 oz. or 60 ml. Pisco
• Shake over ice, strain
• float prepped ice
• top with seltzer
• add one to three barspoons of Violet Liqueur to ice

What did you think of the finale ? Your series was much better :)
How To Drink I want you to talk for like an hour on game of thrones 😋
When the next 2 (or more) books come out I'm expecting more drinks... also more commentary.
So maybe 2 drinks per book? 1 as a celebration of it's release and then a spoiler video later with a follow-up drink to mark the outcome(s). ;-)
Hey, in the book, Melisandre is still at the wall when Jon is killed. Jus sayin'
Seriously, your series was better than the last 3 seasons of the actual Show
Bold of you to assume I haven't already lost my fingers attempting much safer drinks...
🤣🤣🤣
Lost a whole hand attempting a vodka cranberry
Lost a whole leg on a beer cocktail once
I'm surprised Vader let's you drink on duty, is that how that how the Death Star exploded?
Very bold...i mean you are a storm trooper
Hey, can you make a drink called "Bad Writing" where you just shit hastily into a paper cup and garnish it with shredded paper? Thanks.
On another note, love your channel and drink knowledge.
Fill to the brim with Jeppson's Malört - garnish with a mint leaf.
Lemon Jucie
"shit hastily"
@@digital_u4ia Well mint would make it a tiny amount more refreshing, I think rimming the edge of the glass with crushed warheads candy would bring a familiar battery acid type of intense sour note to the experience
@@absolutcabbagery3661 the mint is Beric
Greg Redwyne, the Un-sobered, Father of Spillage, Crusher of Ice, Lord of the Realms of beverage mixed and unmixed, The Dash of Bitters, Keeper of fresh herbs and protector of the realm. All hail the King. Now....I am a persistent bastard aren't I? When is that Gentleman Bastards sequence cocktail gonna come out? I know it's not a famous series, but it has such brilliant alchemy. T'would be a shame to miss out. Or make a Grimble cup in my name, as your first and foremost annoying fan.
Father of Spillage!!! xxxxoooo
All hail king Greg, long may he reign!
All hail king Greg!
Hail!
You should do a drink based on season 8. I'm thinking something that's actively on fire while you drink it and it tastes like a frat guy just butt chugged it.
It must also be mixed in a Starbucks cup, for authenticity purposes
The way to drink it is via "boofing"
Wait wait wait,a cocktail that it's still on fire while you drink it, you serious buddy?
And it gets you so wasted you just kind of forget about the Iron Fleet. 😐
@@amandafrazier9724 You sir have earned my thumb up.
Those theories reeeeally make me want that "How to Read" spin-off, Greg.
You should make a drink for Jon Snow and call it _"Muh Queen!"_
Do you know de wae my queen?
Lightning muh queen
How much do I have to sub on Patreon to see you rant about the now finished season 8?
*insert take my money meme here*
I too want to hear this
Just do it Greg, give the people what they what!
I would do the drill bit like you did but then I would take the smallest drill bit you could and drill a pinhole down the center of the ice block. That way the blue stuff slowly drips one drop at a time through the ice and out the bottom and slowly mixes in with the drink.
My boyfriend looks over : “is that jack black”
Common Sense ... I can’t unsee this comment and it is breaking my brain... :)
Don't forget about Tenacious D!
Came for the drink, stayed for the excellent book analysis. I really should read them again.
Try this:
1) freeze a thimble into a cube
2) warm the face of the cube facing the thimble with a candle or kitchen blow torch
3) remove thimble and refreeze dimple face down
4) serve
“Just..just dont get hurt doing what i do.”
Quote of the episode.
Thanks for the Thrones series man. Fire & Blood.
It's legit his tagline.
When I first discovered this channel I was shocked you don't have at least 1 million subs. And here we are today, still not. That's just crazy. You do you dude, this is some really fun and quality content you guys give us :) Thanks!
Soooooo glad you're continuing the Tuesday-Friday upload schedule
I neither drink nor watch game of thrones, but these are very relaxing and fun to watch
Taking in account the last episode, seeing one will take you to the other
could you make a drink for Luke Skywalker with blue milk in it?
@@G.D.goodwill 🤣hahahahahahahahahaahaaaaa!!!!!!
@@G.D.goodwill
Call it "crispy bodies by the door"
Should include smokey fried bacon as a garnish.
It happened lol
You’re one of the most knowledgeable people about the books I’ve seen. Great cocktail too!
3 minutes into the video and I have had to go back at least 10 times and pause to read the captions. You guys are really making me work for this one.
The most beautiful drink you have made. to. date. The glassware, inventiveness with the garnish, and the backstory are great. It was well worth sitting through 4 minutes of content discussion on a show I don't watch!
Sad it's over :( both GoT and this series of drinks. I really enjoyed hearing you talk about the books.
looking forward to seeing what you pull from His Dark Materials.
Gotta say, your video is much more enjoyable than this season.
Also, just a side note, House Redwyne did get raid by the ironborns after Euron took the crown, so yeah, they still need to fight.
Word
Don't forget their fleet warfare in Robert's Rebellion and the War of the Five Kings, around Storm's End and Dragonstone.
This is the first of your videos that has showed up in my subscriptions in over a month.....
Hmmm...
Drill a 3/16 inch "stem" down from that "flower"... put in green Chartreuse before the Creme d'Violete. ???
Pretty sure in your version of ice and fire, the white walkers simply use a giant one of these 5:57 to get through the wall.
I wish this game of thrones season was half as good as this cocktail show. Ffs...
The bar is sharp, and full of power tools . . .
A great looking presentation!
Listening to you talk about the books has convinced me to read all of them - already read the first one years ago though :D
I really like the music you put in the intro and on your show, it makes a really nice ambiance
I love that the first half of this video (literally) is just a book report. i dig it.
?Love this show, can’t get enough of watching old and new episodes. Am I the only one who rewinds multiple times to catch the edit notes??? Love it
That cocktail seems perfect for summer evenings on the balcony, which is cool considering it was inspired by the complete opposite!
Love, love, love, this episode and the nerding out. Thank you Greg.
The one thing I learned from this GoT drink series, I want a video series on you explaining ASoIaF theories
Man, I really love these fantasy themed cocktails you do
Best channel on youtube hands down, love the show!
Your drinks have been killer for this little series, this drink and Danny's drink were especially cool and imaginative. Gonna miss the lore rants immensely.
The GOT content was amazing. I love how much the show has changed and evolved while still staying true to what How to Drink has always been about
This video solidified my decision to go back and start reading the books finally. Thank you!
im early! i dont watch GoT but ive still really enjoyed your comedic synopses and drinks :)
So sad this mini series is over, love how creative it is tho :) can't wait to see what's next
Hmm. Lady Stonehart resurecting Jon? I accept.
I mean, only if somehow dying gave her insight that he wasn't her husband's bastard. Because Cat reeeeeaaaallly hated Jon.
@@mommylap to her.. he is the last remaining of her brood. And she admitted remorse for being cold to Jon. She believed that is why she was being punished.
Maybe that memory of remorse will push through the revenge?
I love the book and movie inspired cocktails you make; they're so damn creative and I think you have a great personality. Thank you for giving me something to watch as I fuck around on the internet at work wishing I had a cocktail in my hand.
Also, I hope you consider the idea of touring around making cocktails live. I would love to see that.
Holy hell. I came here for booze, but you know more about the books than half the people on YT who I watch for ASOIAF content. Time to start another channel, dude! School these TV show fools! 😉
I came here for booze and not the story. I literally had to skip 3 minutes to get to the drink
@@jebronekitty you made the choice to click on the video series where he nerds out dumbass
@@bigsip2962 Video doesn't say sucking GOT off for 4 minutes straight, asshole
@@alejandroreyes9975 Why would you click on a got drink video without being a genuine fan? If you aren't a got fan you obviously are not the target audience for this video and if you are a fan then you enjoy it.
@@dotrax2897 Cause I like the guys video, not got.
Love the synced up ice cracks and background music. Very smooth editing
Yes! That was.... Uh.... Intentional!
I like the presentation a lot on this drink, it's simple (not like you have to skewer 20 different ingredients and light something on fire) but effective and it looks nice as well with the clear cube
What an amazing book series. I clearly need to reread the books. I've forgotten so many of the details in the books that you're talking about. Honestly these books are so dense they're worth rereading several times.
Holy crap dude! I stumbled on your videos completely by chance and I LOVE YOUR STYLE! The camera work makes the ingredients and the craft look gorgeous, your commentary is enjoyable to listen to, and the drinks look delicious. Also the countertop light presentation is fantastic!And now I definitely want to try to replicate them! Keep ‘em coming!
No more ASOIAF drinks. "and now his watch is ended."
We'll probably get more as more books come out, as he's said, he's a book reader of the series. Just not weekly anymore to ride on the show's hype.
4:15 he actually starts making the drink. You are welcome.
Dame that opening bit really peaked my interest in reading the books
Love how much content you're putting out lately!! Keep it up :)
Made your Arbor Gold to watch the show finale. Really a tasty drink. And I'm very happy to hear we won't be losing you on Tuesdays!
Glad you enjoyed! I'm SUPER EXCITED about the "Tuesday" episodes I've got lined up so I can't wait till next week to start sharing these.
Thank you for this series, really enjoyed it :)
I learned so much about game of thrones in this drink video.
More GOT Rambling and theories!!!! I'm a show watcher but I'm going to try the books this summer. They sound like a trip.
YAY for PISCO! First time you use it and it had to be for Jon Snow. Great video!
I don’t know why but I think this might be the most beautiful drink I’ve ever seen
Such an awesome presentation! And looks delicious
Tools and liquor? Someone somewhere might consider that hazardous... But man that drink looks awesome
Late into the Game of Thrones I revisited your GoT series. I recreated this drink and instead of loosing my fingers to ice and a drill... I found some shotglass ice molds that hold up more sans hazards. I also subsituted the violet liqueur for some Empress 1908 Gin that I already had, the gin is dyed with butterfly pea blossom that give it a vivid indigo blue. Thanks for coming up with these awesome drinks!
He puts Absinthe in a lot of drinks.
You could also buy these special ice cube shot glasses for the ice part. That would be much easier and absolutely what im going to do. This drink looks amazing. Can't wait to try it.
IDK where to send you messages, but how about some beer cocktails. I love your shit by the way man. Your passion and fun for cocktails and the background information on them is so prevalent and your videos have brewed a cocktail passion in me, a former beer lover experiencing a ginaissance. I love it man keep it up!
Loving the lovecraft reference at the beginning
As someone who doesn’t know watch GoT, I still enjoyed listening to him talk about it :)
Greg is such a books nerd and I love it.
Dig the theories, mostly agree 😁
BTW good look'n drink!
loved the themed series you put together...
Oh man! Editor Greg busting out some Lovecraft in this episode. Love it.
Lyrics to “Of Wolf and Man” and “The Thing That Should Not Be”. Chef’s kiss 👌🏻
8:43 “60ml Lemon Jucie” Lmao
I’m not hating, just noticed and thought it was funny! Love watching these unique videos, the creativity and skill to find what works is impressive bro!
HEY!!! So I REALLY need to read the books cuz all that stuff you said is VERY intriguing. Also NICE 'TALLICA REFERENCE!!!!!!!!!
Ngl even though I'm not the biggest fan of Game of Thrones (been spoiled on day one since Rains of Castamere aired, FUN!) I am legit gonna miss this mini series. Some of the drinks were really cool.
Also I'm waiting for a rant similar to the one you did regarding Rhaegar but about your feelings about season 8. That's gonna be fun if you ever decide to do it.
That really, *rained on your parade*
Gonna go commit Hodor now, give me a sec.
Loved this series! Fire and blood indeed.
I was getting so wrapped up in his Jon Snow predictions that I forgot we were making a drink. That really is interesting about Moqorro though, I’ve never put that together.
Very cool. And I like thinking about how one could try this with different colored liquors. Just great as always ✌🏼
glad to see this will be the last of the GOT themed drinks, hopefully for a while.
Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know about disappointment? Disappointment is for the short night, when Jon did nothing and Arya fell a hundred feet from nowhere. Disappointment is for the characters, when arcs that are built for years are instantly regressed and plot lines are born and live and die all in nothingness. That is the time for disappointment, my queen, when the White Walkers never make it past Winterfell.
Thousands of years ago, there came lazy writers that destroyed an entire series. Fans raged about no set up, payoff or logic, same as the cast members in their interviews. And parents smothered their Khaleesis rather than see them watch Season 8, and wept and felt the tears of disappointment on their cheeks.
In that darkness, the Show Runners came for the last time. They rushed through season 8 without care, leaving coffee cups and water bottles, riding off to Star Wars to “subvert more expectations”.
Holy shite dude... that was well put. From the "Parents smothering they're khaleesi's" to "coffee cups and water bottles half strewn around in a rush" was Very poignant!
Love the theory crafting. I just started A Game of Thrones (book). I know, too many years delayed. Just never got around to it, and watched the show instead.
This is such an awesome drink creation
I hope you continue to make these game of thrones drinks as grrm releases his books.
I don't even drink, but I like watching you make yours, and I really want to try them. LOL
I forgot this was a drinking show for a moment. Got so caught up in the theories
Of Wolf and Man doesn’t get a lot of love when it comes to Metallica songs it seems. Always been one of my favorites. That was great. 🤘🏻
Shapeshift!
Nose to the wind!
Dude ive been watching your videos for a time and I need to say. You brought my bartending skills up from a level 20 to a level 80. If ya want the recipes for some nevada or Danistan cocktails hit me up I'll send ya the resipes.
This turned into a lore episode and I am Here for it
What this video made me realize is that I need to reread the books. I don't remember half of what you said lmao. Awesome cocktail too! Will give it a try most definitely.
I dont even drink alcohol but I enjoy these videos so much, I enjoy herbs over spirits
I can't drink but these are great. Informative and entertaining.
Heya Greg!
It's been a joy to follow your creations throughout the season, and some drinks has been really interesting (My favorite so far has to be Shade of the Evening). However, this has presented a few questions - considering many of the drinks has contained very special ingredients, I remembered your 'Spirit Guide'. Is there a possibility that we will see any more of these? Now that your GoT-themed project has ended, this might be an idea to compliment your regular videos!
Another great video!!
For drilling the ice you could use a rubber tourniquet to chuck it up in a hobbyist sized vice. Also, Pisco is a wonderful liquor to explore.
Beautiful drink
You are geeking so hard at the beginning of this video omg so cute
God dammit, I enjoy this channel way too much
Really great concept. Now please make a cocktail that will help everyone forget season 8
It's so funny, every time "anyways let's get to the drink!" 4 to 5 min into the video already lol.
Just discovered your channel and O M G: I love it
Loved that little Lovecraft reference
