Who thought babies were fashioned by God,
But ’twas not the Almighty
Who hiked up her nightie -
‘Twas Roger, the lodger, by God!

A masterpiece
- Pushes up pretentious nerd glasses - "Ah sir, excuse me, sir! Ha, yes, ah. That is a limerick _not_ a rhyming couplet."
- Takes off pretentious nerd glasses - Any whoooo. Seriously though, great drinks and a great limerick.
Lol
What's funny about the "golden" nug being red is that the test for purity in the middle ages was heating. If it turned heated red, it was pure, so "red gold" was another name for pure gold.
Red gold was my first thought when it came out red. Funny how little things like that just stick with you sometimes. I hadn't thought about red gold in years.
Today I learned
@@mildlydazed9608 bc your mildly dazed
Really? Never heard of that. Can you post a source for this?
Cause I think you’re trying to pull my nug.
@@nottheoneyourelookingfor0504 "Nay, even more than this, the oftener gold is subjected to the action of fire, the more refined in quality it becomes; indeed, fire is one test of its goodness, as, when submitted to intense heat, gold ought to assume a similar colour, and turn red and igneous in appearance; a mode of testing which is known as "obrussa." [Pliny, "Natural History", 33-19]
theres a whole "bottles on the wall" sidequest/collectables thing in Dragon Age Inquisition that gives descriptions of different kinds of drinks you find
The Golden Scythe is actually a gift you can give to the party boozehound(No, not Wynne, though she does have a decent palate for alcohol), Oghren.
Golden Scythe is described as 'This battlefield spirit maintains a chill even in direct sunlight, which it appears to absorb. Optimal serving is by the drop. Contact with exposed flesh is discouraged, but likely inevitable.'
I think the “Emerald Valley” being mostly white with a tinge of green actually kinda makes sense since fog likes to settle in valleys, so it could be a foggy forested valley, hence mostly white with green hues
Particularly in the Emerald Graves and andraste’s Gift
Maybe Jäegermeister?
My first thought as well!
@Ryan Farnsworth if you dilute jager, it isn’t black any more, is it?
Golden Scythe in Dragon Age: "This battlefield spirit maintains a chill even in direct sunlight, which it appears to absorb. Optimal serving is by the drop. Contact with exposed flesh is discouraged, but likely inevitable." You're guess is good as mine as to what it tastes like.
Maybe a mint liqueur of some sort? Mint always tastes cold.
That… sounds like Nitrogen O.o
I know menthol does heighten your sensitivity to cold, and is an extremely strong flavour. Maybe if there are any strong menthol-infused spirits they could be built around
@@prisoner6266 Créme de menthe, nitro-muddled mint, rhum agricole, and the thick part of coconut milk, lengthen with icy cold club soda?
I'll leave the exact ratios to someone with time and ingredients on their hands.
Maybe some muddled candied pomelo too. Pomelo zest makes my mouth go cold.
Greg: Makes Drinks from Dragon Age
Me: “I…I love you”
More proof it's a romance novel video game XD
Golden raspberries are a thing, while probably hard to find, they would really work for the Golden Nug
I was ready to say that the also-mentioned pomegranate juice would turn it red anyway, but I looked it up and apparently they come in other colors too!
and they have a rather champagne-like intensity, different from red raspberries. they would be delicious in this!
You're not thinking of cloudberries (hjortron)? They grow here in scandinavia, in the marshlands up north.
They taste very different from raspberries though; they're not tart at all.
@@malcolmthorne9779 i don't know about the others, but they're an actual subspecies of raspberry. identical in growth and form to a regular raspberry, but with a light golden color and somewhat different flavour. I have some in my garden.
Cloudberries are also lovely, though. very tasty
Salmonberries are another good option, but I don't know what their availability is like outside of pacific coastal areas (north americas).
Bioware goes hard on all the codex material that you might bypass completely. The Dragon Age world is full of backstory and lore and little details and so is Mass Effect. One of my favourite things to do in Mass Effect is read all the planetary descriptions. All the planets in that series could theoretically exist and all the detail work that goes into those games is just SO awesome. Not to mention all the Easter eggs hidden throughout, lol.
One of those easter eggs is in the description for Mackay's Epic Single Malt, in the Bottles of Thedas quest. "This whisky is older than the Maker and smoother than elven baby-butt." In Baldur's Gate, the innkeepers like to say their "inn is as clean as an elven arse."
I think the exceptionally fun lore tends to come from the strangest places. For example the kingdoms of amalur and dragon age crossover armours for mass effect because they both elude to the Earth Urban Combat Championship which pits top of the line combatants and equipment against eachother with a fantasy-style theme to each team who share their region with the developers of either game.
Only thing I could find on the golden scythe was that it is always cold and should be taken by the drop and not to get on the skin
Recently played through ME trilogy for the first time and then started the dragon age trilogy for the first time (played inquisition a few years ago). Really surprised at how much I enjoyed origins for how dated the game is. Excited for the fourth installments of both.
Some of the codex entries on planets have some pretty crazy stuff too. I’m pretty sure one of the entries in ME1 is even a plot point in ME3 dlc or something. The leviathan of Dis I think. And a ton of other weird stuff
Fireball bottle: “now it’s my time to shine! 🤩”
Between this and the Skyrim drink episode, as well as the Critical Role one… are Fantasy Game nerds enthusiastic drinkers/mixers?
Except you, Sam. Your Eldermancy can stay right where it is.
Yes. He even did a D&D episode. And you KNOW how much adventurers love their ale.
Yes we are
@@gamemasteranthony2756 oh I do know, indeed xD.
Best way to RP a Barbarian drinking mead is to drink mead yourself and raid the village.
Based on my experience with fantasy nerds, absolutely
The World of Thedas volume 2 book includes recipes- some jokes, some actually great. One is a recipe for making dandelion wine. Another is a recipe for a banana bread that is sweetened with molasses- that recipe is specifically what I've been using for banana bread ever since the book came out, its that good. So honestly I'm not actually surprised that the drink recipes are all pretty spot on as well- whoever they are hiring for their food and drinks knows what they are doing.
I think the name "Benediction" is supposed to be a clue that the Golden Scythe is Benedictine. For the "Prophet's Laurel" in the Benediction, I think I would have infused the gin with bay leaves and some red berries, maybe cranberries or redcurrants.
Benedictine was my guess too!
I have been informed by my girlfriend who loves dragon age that nugs in dragon age are actually pink/red. Golden refers to the classiness of the drink in the dragon age setting and nug refers to its color. So it looks exactly how the game intended here😄
The Randy Dowager is linked to a set of short excerpts of book review columns found throughout the game. The anonymous writer "Randy Dowager" reviews romance (probably erotic) novels. These snippets are always a joy to find, and she always closes them with a rating of "fluttered scarves". Her drink matches the vibe perfectly.
Spoiler Alert: The Randy Dowager is actually Genitivi lol
Same author as The Lusty Argonian.
I love that the Randy Dowanger drink requires exhaustively vigorous back and forth movements of the arm. Seems fitting.
@@nottheoneyourelookingfor0504 wrong game
Aren't those novels written by Varric? Or does he write different smutty novels?
“For dowager canoodling” is one of the most vivid tasting notes H2D has ever seen lmao
If I ever make a fantasy game, I'm gonna hire greg to write up in game loreified cocktails.
If I ever make a fantasy game I'm gonna make the worst most fantasified-named dreck possible so he has to jump through hoops to figure it out. Purely out of love and respect, of course. Them peasants be sippin on Angel's Winged Dragon Scale Vino-essence with a Flootflier float on top
That sounds perfect
The romances are def part of the appeal of DA, but like... you played origins, you know the choices aren't all about who to kiss lol.
In da2 I was so bad at a boss fight the loading screen gave me the tip "if you're having trouble with combat/ etc, you can lower the difficulty setting!"
I was already playing on "casual" 😂😭
Thank you! The romances are big for the story but they are completely optional. Calling the game a medieval fantasy romance simulator is like calling fallout 4 a Sims knockoff because of the settlement system
@@comicnerd101A I will absolutely dunk on Fallout 4 specifically in this manner.
That’s the price it pays for being bad.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Eh, it's a lot better than Fallout 3
@@metal_monocle7334 You say that like it’s impressive.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Nope, just a fact really.
I think you did a good job staying failthful. As a Dragon-Age-fantasy-romance-dating-simulator-fan, I say you needed to sneak in some Maker’s Mark into one of them drinks. And then golden raspberries in the Golden Nug. haha
Fun fact: The world of Thedas, in Dragon age, is an acronym for "The Dragon Age Setting".
Re: The Golden Nug being golden, there are actually golden raspberries! They taste basically the same. They're native to east and southeast Asia and occasionally you can find them at farmer's markets in the US
there actually yellow / golden raspberries! only saw it sold in a local supermarket one time though. but if somebody wants to try to really go for gold, now you know.
Any Asian supermarket worth its salt sells golden raspberries in addition to golden pomegranate. So the Golden Nug can be golden.
The best info on elfroot i can get is a medicinal, sweet, tangy vine based root that is harvested and used similar to how most root soda roots are used
Also golden raspberries are a thing, and used to be considered a mark of nobility to have, thus fits the elves well
OH MY GOD DRAGON AGE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAME SERIES! WHAT A GREAT THING TO WAKE UP TO!
Agreed
Origins and it's DLC are fantastic, but Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition are TERRIBLE! Only good thing in Dragon Age 2 is transferability of story choices from Origins/Awakening into the game and affecting the game. As for Inquisition only good thing is Fort Building.
@@morrigankasa570 You're all over this comment section shitting on other people's opinions. Lighten the fuck up and let people like what they like
"I played that... the first one, anyway."
You've chosen wisely, Greg.
FINALLY!!! My all-time favorite game series!!! Also, the dragon age series had soooooo much more to it beside the romances, like trying to slay at least 10 high dragons and sobbing while trying to do so. But in all seriousness, the worldbuilding is absolutely amazing throughout the series and the little tidbits of lore that hide in the codex entries are *chef's kiss*. Does that mean I'm going to stop fantasizing about 2 himbo chantry boys with enough emotional damage to strangle a dragon? Hell no. Does that mean I'll ever stop siding with mages over templars? Also no.
Now excuse me while I go get drunk because I swear by Varric's chest hair that I will do my next playthrough utterly TRASHED.
You should do some drinks from old school RuneScape. There is a quest called Alfred Grimhand’s Barcrawl and there are a bunch of cocktails in that
Ahhh, you are my soul sibling! Cheers. 🍻
I personally love these games for the world-building, the world feel so natural, and lived-in, with the journal/codex entries, the attention to detail/characters, the deep histories, the questions posed. I loved the fact that they seem more interested in asking the questions and exploring different ways of answering them instead of answering them for you
Thank the Maker, Dragon Age is getting some recognition here! I always feel like it gets overshadowed by Mass Effect, which I do love, but I love DA more
I was quite literally *just* watching a video about Zevran when the notification for this video popped up. Talk about good timing.
I'm so excited for this episode!
a little upset you don't like Dragon Age, but..thats okay
We love you regardless Greg.
I'll have you know that Dragon Age is much more than just a romance game.
Sometimes casual sex also happens.
😆😆😆
I actually made the Emerald Valley using 1/4 ounce Midori and it turned out great! It didn’t overpower the drink but gave it the bright emerald green color that I think the name implies.
There is a Canadian Gin called Ungava that would be fantastic in The Benediction because it's an *intense* yellow. It seriously looks like a sci-fi or fantasy drink all on it's own.
I honestly play Dragon Age because I'm invested in the lore, being real, most of the romances outside of a handful don't really stand out. I do one standard run of each new game, and then another completionist run after and I'm done. Usually, as the same class and with the same romance if I bother.
this was such a fun episode!! that dowager segment cracked me up, was the most joy I've felt in a while :B thanks as always for the chill time
Thanks for everything you, and the team do. I'm very grateful.
I'm surprised Bénédictine wasn't used for Benediction
Yep - somehow he arrived at Yellow Charteuse, which is so close! Also, a laurel/bay leaf-forward gin seems to be called for. Never tried one myself, but there are some Google hits for it.
This is one of my favorite gaming series!! I will love to have one of these when restart DragonAge Inquisition.
Dragon Age Origins is better.
Love these longer, multi-drink episodes. DEFINITELY adding a few of these to my home menu
The lore comments at the end is one of the non-romance reasons I love this series, there's a lot of interesting and flushed out details. And yeah, whoever wrote that knew what they were doing
Out of all videos, this one really hit me when it comes to being thirsty, like I really want to have a sip of these drinks so badly! Amazingly well put job and video!
"I'm gonna shake the living Hell outta this. For a long time" Some say, to this very day, Greg is still shaking...
Have I played a single Dragon Age game? No.
Have I watched the entirety of the Cassandra romance storyline several times on TH-cam? Yes.
Have I listened to Miracle of Sound’s Dragon Age song “All As One” several times and cried every single time? Also yes.
I consider this to be a comparable level of experience.
The Cass romance is the only thing I could bring myself to replay Inquisition for, so yeah, you've pretty much got it.
@@tylerchristian3557 Her accent is pretty, and she’s a stronk lady who likes shitty pulp novels and cuddling.
She is the best character.
Love it brother. My favorite “how to cocktail” on the inner webs. 👍🍸
THANK YOU THANK YOU!! SO happy to see this episode!! I WILL be sharing this video to all my Dragon Age friend groups!! Can't wait to try the drinks too! Cheers! 😍
Also, yesterday was Mass Effect Day - N7 (Nov.7) so I shared the ME drinks as well. D4 Day (Dec 4th) is the "unofficial" Dragon Age Day (as we anxiously await the release of Dragon Age 4!) 🤩
Its nice to see an episode with good recepies and Greg not regretting his existance
This is perfect, because the only way I used to play DA2 was drunk.
State-dependent learning and all.
I like DA2 but on replay being drunk would far more preferable haha
I swear you can only play that game intoxicated. If I'm sober, I'm going to criticize it the whole time next to Origins and Inquisition. 🤣
@@lauren1217 As sober I insult both Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition.
Origins was so amazing especially with the DLCs. But Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition have a million problems:(
I genuinely can't remember DA2 anymore.
never anticipated you doing an episode on DA! thank you so much, this was very enjoyable!
Greg I love ya, but I can't believe you got as far as "yellowish herbal liqueur" in a drink called the Benediction and didn't think Bénédictine.
Benedictine isn’t yellow though!
@@howtodrink Faintly yellowish brown? Maybe I just want it to work too hard. I'm not one to complain about Chartreuse, though!
What a gift to have this video uploaded on my birthday.
Great video as always Greg!
Happy birthday
Basically you played the best one. Perfectly fine!
I would agree that origins was the best (though the others are still great)
In a recent episode of Mythical Kitchen, Josh tried some onion juice and quipped that it would make a great cocktail ingredient. So I thought that I would be fun to see what you come up with using that as a starting point.
I've actually thought for a while that a series of "Ingredient Challenges" would be fun. People in the comments suggest various things for you to try to make good drinks out of. Obviously start with easier suggestions and slowly ramp up the difficulty/weirdness over time.
my guess is onion juice would be a fantastic mix in to a bloody mary or any other sort of savory cocktail
@@BlackHilt Onions naturally contain loads of sugar so their juice would probably also work well in some sweet drinks.
@@goshisanniichi maybe but they also have some spice to it if its raw then I think you'd needa be careful about that
Watching this Christmas eve, kicking back with an awesome old fashioned
It really is a romance novel lol. Also Greg, would highly recommend the second Dragon Age. It's actually my favourite of them all so far. I think in general I just love the stories in this game - romance-based and otherwise.
The second one is my favorite too. There are dozens of us!
@@eauxkei702 hey get back in the basmemt with all the other "the 2nd game is the best in this bioware rpg series" fans
Lol at Greg acting like the fandom being uncomfortably horny about their faves is a phenomenon specific to Dragon Age
This guy enjoys Mass Effect Which is Just as Horny just in a sci-Fi setting
I don’t think I claimed to enjoy mass effect, in fact I specifically said that I did not
@@howtodrink You don't? Aww man, that's a shame. It's my absolute favorite sci-fi game trilogy.
@@howtodrink how the heck do you not like Mass Effect its like THE sci fi rpg. Especially 2.
I mean, let's be honest here.
For half of us half the fun of going to a galaxy filled with aliens or some fantasy world filled with different races would be to Kirk our way through every single race out there.
Like some perverted pokemon trainer XD.
I *really* want to try all these! Especially the last two. They sound amazing.
I just found this channel and it Prompted a 3 day rabbit hole journeythrough the video games and cursed drinks. My wife and I have laughed so hard at your tasting notes. Wonderful show. My favorite moment was you in an older video taking about playing video games with your daughter and telling your wife" I'm not just playing games...I'm parenting ". As a gamer and expecting a daughter in February I can't wait for bonding like that. Well done sir.
You should do a "Will it sour?" episode where you see if various unusual spirits make good sours
Wow, what a surprisingly rewarding episode, would not expect that :)
Great episode! Quite a fan of Dragon Age. Pretty cool their drinks were actually well done
Actually hilarious timing on this video I just downloaded dragon age origins again after years of not playing, love the drinks my man!
I never thought you'd hit on Dragon Age drinks, but it's my favorite franchise of all time. Thanks for checking it out and honoring the fandom like this, Greg - I'm personally going to have fun making a few of these.
Yay!! My fav game series! I’ll make one of these to have when the next game comes out. 💕
The breakdown around the dowager drink had me in stitches. Your analysis was spot on lol. Also! not to be "That guy" but golden razzberries do exist! I'm not sure if you can get them commercially, but I know my girlfriend's grandma always makes a mixed berry pie with golden razzberries in it. They grow them in their garden, so again, not sure how available they would be, but just figured I would throw it out there. Love the video!
Somebody else said in the comments that red is actually appropriate. Apparently, a way that gold purity was tested in medieval times was to heat it, and if it turned a red color that was how you knew it was pure. Or something, I’unno. Pretty neat.
What about the vigors and tonics from Bioshock Infinite? You're going to have to be 100% experimental on those but the themes of each power could be fun to explore in mixed drink form. I wasn't a fan of the third game overall but that won't stop me from suggesting it here.
Dragon age is my favorite game series, I am so glad you did this
I’m definitely sending it to one of my friends: she loves dragon age to bits
Out of curiosity; what would you reckon rashvine would be a good substitute for? Maybe Virginia Creeper, since it causes rashes but has sweet, edible stalks?
Rhubarb???
Stinging Nettle is often commonly made into a tea.
I don't recall Virginia Creeper ever causing a rash.
@@spiff2268 Yeah, I'm pretty sure if it's giving you a rash it's probably poison ivy
A fantastic morning surprise here, always good to have more Greg in the morning.
The comment on the fanbase just shipping the heck out of it is spot on. XD
Love the drinks. Have to make them myself at some point.
I don't even drink alcohol and I find this really fun to watch. Good job!
A great episode. I definitely got bit by the dragon age bug, origins was the game that got me into gaming.
Your channel is one of my favorite TH-cam channels!
Love the vlog great review and content
Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!🤩
I'm so happy! It's so good to see someone acknowledge Dragon Age!!
So glad my family wasn't home to hear me scream😅
4:20 there 100% for sure are commercially available "golden" raspberries that would fit the color profile your describing perfectly, but youd need to make a more appropriately colored stand in for the grenadine. theyre just yellow raspberries, but some people swear they taste a little like pineapple.
I wonder if a pineapple simple syrup would work instead of grenadine...
Awesome episode! Love the Dragon Age series and will def need to try some of these!
If you're looking for another video game cocktail, The Blue Helena from Syberia is an option! Its actually a puzzle in the game where you have to make the drink using this crazy machine. Sorry for this suggestion being in the comments, I literally have no other social media accounts, lol.
Description of Golden Scythe 4:90 Black in-game: "This battlefield spirit maintains a chill even in direct sunlight, which it appears to absorb. Optimal serving is by the drop. Contact with exposed flesh is discouraged, but likely inevitable."
Wow, greg really did just come up with the Alaska independently there with the benediction. If you ever want to try it to the original Savoy spec though try it using just 15ml of your yellow chartreuse and garnish with an orange peel. And make sure to honour the legendary Craddock and enjoy it "quickly, while it's still laughing at you!" Great stuff as always HTD
I figured there HAD to be something with this spec already, so simple and delicious. I think that’s why most modern “new” drinks (mine too) tend to be super complex
About the raspberries: I believe you can seasonally find yellow raspberries, so those would impart the color you're looking for.
Cool. I love the Dragon Age series. Please do drinks based on the drinks from the game Monster Camp. Fireball is great, but my dad will never drink it again, when he drank waaay too much. I'd also love him to do a video on Disney drinks, recreating the drink recipes from the Disney Parks Cookbook.
More warm drinks for this winter please
Been intending to do this for a while. Thanks for introducing me to the wonder that is tajin. It’s a nice flavour enhancer and rimming option, not in a dirty way. Cheers.
About time lol 😂 was wondering if you would ever mess with dragon age
Yeah Bioware is fantastic with the small little Lore bits, its no surprise the drinks were that detailed LOL.
Awesome stuff!
Dragon Age isn't just a romance game though :( yeah it is romance heavy, but the world building is incredible. I've spent two hundred hours on my nightmare playthrough, I spend a ridiculous amount of time tweaking armor and weapons and spells, I have one of the most incredible teams built up. And I just absolutely love all of the lore. Its an incredibly detailed and well thought out universe
Brooooo as soon as I saw this pop up as a notification, I had to watch!
The Randy Dowager tastes of peach you don't say? That segment had my laughing.
This one was so good! I'm surprised you didn't put in Oghren's homebrew mead.
Inquisiter: *takes a swig and chokes*
Iron Bull: "Good right? Mmm. Put's some chest on your chest."
Thanks for doing DragonAge.
Cloudberries for the golden raspberries, i love them, and they are so tasty!
I'm sure someone has mentioned it already, but there are definitely gold raspberries! Fall Gold being the premiere variety, readily available across North America!
Love the video. Dragon Age is my all time favorite series. So many other drinks in the game that you could do another video. Such a deep and detailed world. Lol about it being nothing but romance, BioWare is a bit heavy on that. 🙂
Hey Greg, the new-ish direction you've gone in with punching in more when you're listing your tasting notes is a great addition! Is that a B-cam or are you cropping in off the 4/6/8k footage? Your colors have also been looking really good lately, skin tones in particular. Are you still shooting on the Monstro 8k sensor or did you get a new editor on staff?
Delicious.
There are some great Guild Wars 2 drinks you could definitely do!
Dragon age! Oh truly a masterpiece. I mean the first game of course
Honestly didn't see this coming, but I'm glad it's here
Continuing on the Critical Role episode, I did see on the final episode of the Elder Scrolls series, Talison’s character made a few drinks! I’d be curious to see your take on those!
If I remember correctly he has done those in a Skyrim episode
@@ozymandias3456 he has not actually!, Talison did the Nernhatten and an Arrow to the knee, the ones on the skyrim episode are the velvet Lechance, white gold tower, and the cliff racer!
I love this! It would have been perfect for Dragon Age Day on December 4, though.
Also - how about a series or a show on how to make your own flavored liquors/liqueurs? I make coconut rum using fresh coconut and bacardi’s but your could expand that to a lot of other types.
As a fan of the series this was fun to watch and now you made me curious if Bioware acutally hired someone to help them with the drink recipes haha
A lot of interesting things to try in here! At the chance of sounding repetitive, please do the elixirs from dishonored =)
Golden Scythe, I thought was a mead but that take on the Benediction is one that looks delicious
In Game Golden Scythe is described as a impossibly cold battlefield spirit. Considering battlefield spirits in real life tend to be medicinal concoctions designed to numb the drinker to any upcoming pain I think the Benediction needed to be a tad less pleasant.
