“Is that Bailey’s that tastes like strawberries?” Thank you! I thought I was the only one who got that note. Honestly it’s probably the strawberry-cream association crossing some wires, but I’ve always gotten that impression.
Stable coffee foam is AMAZING! I made one for an inverted White Russian, but I used gelatin sheets, coffe liqueur (can't get Mr. Black) and some extra coffee, and poured it on top of cream-washed vodka. The mouthfeel is out of this world. Sorry for 2 comments but you delivered too many awesome cocktails!
@@its1110 Just like Greg, I too am not a huge fan of the White Russian. So I tried to make it a bit better, by incorporating the cream in the vodka itself and then the coffee foam is the crown on top. After watching both of Greg's White Russian episodes (well, three, if you count the Chaser, which you should!) maybe check out my episode as well. I go into details there. But I must warn you, his impression of the Dude is a lot better!
@@Pumpkin-man I'm not sure but my manager wants us to use stuff up, so we were trying to come up with speciality drinks for the customers. Since it's the season of peppermint we were trying to find combinations that would work but we were struggling.
@@msmith53 i think so! I only saw the bottle for a brief minute but we were using the mint one (it looks like listerene green😂) and the peppermint one.
Increasing your watch time by rolling your playlist while working! Throw some of that Mr Black into your french toast batter and revel in the best breakfast in existence.
The last after-dinner coffee cocktail that I had was a simple Irish Coffee for a holiday dinner at an upscale place. Father and I each got one, took a sip and had the same reaction, simultaneously: "holy sh*t, that tastes like straight whiskey" Moral of the story: if your server isn't old enough to drink, don't let them mix your beverage. I guess if you want a "night cap" half a mug full of whiskey will do ya 0.o
If you had to pick a 5 yr period in time for a series called "How to Drink"... the last 5 years were a PERFECT time for it. Thanks for all the great content, Greg!
The commentary confirms this channel is my home. Who says you can never go home again??? The space Greg holds until he tips the Flaming Moe and breaks his toe is HOME. AHHHHrange!!!
I love coffee cocktails. I'm subscribed to Mr. Black. Best for cocktails. That's how an ad should be. Entertaining, informing and I actually want more of it.
Send the Lambeaulance! We’ll run it up from Binny’s in IL if you don’t mind coming to the Fat Radish in Bayfield or Madeline Island to take delivery from a FIB. ;)
My great aunt owned an ice cream parlor that doubled as a speakeasy during Prohibition- your use of the trifle dish and the ice cream reminded me of our family legend about her serving whiskey in ice cream dishes. My folks still have her old cabinet.
So I did a variation with the affagato cocktail -1 oz Mr. Black -1 oz Cognac -1/4 oz creme de cacao -2 dashes of peychauds -1 scoop of ice cream My taste buds pulled a Mr Sulu and said "oooooh my" Love your work man, keep it up and let me know if you have any ideas on how to spike drinks for work...
Amazing vid as always Greg. Coffee drinks are the perfect relaxing on the couch at night drinks. Can’t believe you haven’t used Baileys in any other videos it’s the one bottle on my shelf I have to replace most frequently.
I've been in love with Mr Black ever since I managed to get my hands on a bottle over the summer. I can't imagine using any other coffee liqueur now. Thank you for all the great recipes... keep 'em coming!
I can't even drink coffee anymore, nor do I drink alcohol, but damn, those slow mo shows make me drool. If I ever get to host friends again, I'll give these a shot.
@@CastleBravo023 YEP! My bar has become ridiculously stocked with bitters and spirits. Unfortunately covid has slowed down my hosting abilities so it's only the wife and I drinking here.
You've got to do the Cafe con Leche Flip from Petraske's "Regarding Cocktails" if you haven't. Might be my favorite coffee style drink to date. It'd definitely be great with Mr. Black. I basically want it every weekend morning.
5 parts Mr. Black’s Chocolate Liquer + 1 part Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao is the cocktail version of the classic AHHHHRANGE & chocolate after dinner stick candy. Ice is blasphemy. The curaçao brings out so much of the chocolate notes in the DIVINE Mr. Black’s. Can’t even imagine adding genuine gelato to the mix. Ahhhrange cream chocolate candy sticks?! Take all of my money now!
For what it's worth I picked up a bottle of Mr. Black after seeing it on this show, and now it's a permanent fixture in my home bar. It's significantly less sweet and more coffee-ee than Kahlua, which makes a White Russian taste less like a melted milkshake and more like an actual cocktail. It's good stuff.
I don't think I can increase my watch time without you putting out more videos at this point. I've been through the back catalogue and I'm here to stay.
I am terrible at describing taste, but the tying together with music made an incredible amount of sense when you were talking about the taste of coffee and cognace. I'm gonna have to use that
Having a dish called "affogato" reminds me of a little linguistic fact that you guys might appreciate. In German, the word for "drunk" (betrunken) and "drowned" (ertrunken) are very similar. Since German is my second language, I've been known to occasionally mix them up when I'm a bit betrunken, much to the confusion of anyone who understands German. I'm sure there are some themed drinks like affogato that take advantage of this wordplay. Also, the fact that the root word for "drown" is "drink" is pretty hardcore.
I went out of my way to find Mr. Black and it was worth it, stuff is so good. I made your coffee old fashioned with it, it was incredible. I'll be making one tonight and lighting a nice Churchill to complement it.
Wayne Gretzky's no99 irish creams are really good for that sort of thing. The salted caramel is sickly sweet but the original I've sipped on before. Love mixing it about 50/50 with cold, sweetened coffee.
I don't know how I missed this episode. I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I just made your Iron Nightcap and it's awesome! You're a genius and, when I make this for my friends, I'll call it, "Greg's Iron Nightcap".
Just started following you the other day, this is the first thing I tried tonight. Just the Mr. Black with ice cream, next I will try the cocktail. Your videos have inspired me to finally build my home bar! Keep up on the amazing videos and content. Love the "tasting notes" that come with each video.
I don't have chocolate bitters, so I used orange in the affogato cocktail, and I gotta say it's delicious! I don't think I'd like it as much with less orange and more chocolate
The Affogato with Mr Black makes me want to mention another variation. Vanilla ice cream (or better, gelato) with Patron XO Cafe - a coffee-infused Tequila. Called an Affogave at the restaurant (Puccini and Pinetti, SF) where I had it.
yessss i hadn't heard of Mr black before your last video with them and i made a special trip to get it, and now its my favorite liqueur. looove coffee cocktails
I have the urge to try that affogato! I've never thought of using Mr. Black like that. I tend to use it when I make Tiramisu. (If y'all haven't tried it yet, please do...)

My wife just got me a cocktail set, certainly plan on using it, especially for the afagato? Sounds like a neat drink to have when you just finished winding down for the day in your favorite chair
Don't doubt the cherry garnish on the affogato! I do a drink I call a "Depression Cherry" with whiskey, coffee liqueur and cherry liqueur (adjust proportions depending on how sweet your liqueurs are, might want to cut them back), and if I'm allowed to compliment myself its pretty tasty.
Tried the second one with Cognac, modified it slightly though: Went with kraken rum instead of Cognac, and fees chocolate bitters instead of angostura. Had a bitter punch at the start which translated into a really nice sweetness by the end!
Contributing to the cause and running a complete How To Drink marathon queue, which also means I will probably end up drinking too much, lol. (Also, you've gotten me far too intrigued in Mr. Black, but the closest place I can get it is a 3 hour drive one state away, so now I need to plan a trip 😂)

I love coffee after dinner. And also a brandy or whisk(e)y after dinner. The combination is also much appreciated. B+B, too.
I saw your Elf coffee video the other day and it's been on the christmas menu since. I'm a coffee addict and this video is perfect for me.

The Iron Nightcap sounds wonderful!!
This has successfully made me really really REALLY want Mr. Black and a bottle of cognac... Great episode!!
a well deserved sponsorship; to many more. Wish you all the success.
“This is a cream-based drink. You’re not gonna drink a lot of these.”
Allow me to introduce myself...
Man, the affogato cocktail and the foamy drink at the end look so appetizing. definitely gonna have to see if i can make some of these at home.
Went out in the middle of the nor'easter to buy this stuff....thank you.
probably the first time I ordered something because of a TH-cam video.
