Can I just say that Christopher is probably one of my favorite TH-cam spouses out there. You two are just so good together and it comes through clearly on camera.
I spat my water out when princess jasmine came up on the screen 😂I wasn’t expecting it and it was HILARIOUS! Your editing always makes me smile and laugh, thank you so much. Times are tough as my Mom has Alzheimer’s and dementia with epilepsy and I’m her full time carer now. It’s so sad watching the person you love fade away. It’s hard for me to have rest time let alone go out and see friends so watching your videos really cheer me up. I’ve watched you for years and just know you are appreciated Rachel, you are beautiful inside and out and light up the screen especially with your personality! Love seeing you and Christopher together ❤ #couplegoals 🫶🏻
I love Rachel’s videos for very similar reasons! They are the best when you just need to smile and laugh and take a little break from life’s difficulties. I’m so sorry for all that you are going through. While I don’t have Alzheimer’s, I do have a different progressive and degenerative disease, and my mother is my full time caregiver. While your mother may not always be able to express it, I promise you that she appreciates everything you do for her, more than you will ever know. It’s my personal belief that there is no harder role than that of a caregiver. To watch your loved one suffer while feeling helpless and just trying to do everything you can for them within your control is beyond difficult mentally, emotionally and physically. Just thinking of the roles being reversed in my own situation breaks my heart. So thank you. Thank you for taking on the task of loving and caring for your mother. It is not a role that every person chooses to take on for their loved one, and we are very aware of that. To be cared for by a loved one is a blessing unlike any other. My prayers are with you and your mom. May God bless you both and provide you with strength, peace, and comfort as you continue on this difficult journey. 🙏🏻💕
@@BhappyD oh my goodness thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful message and for taking time out to write it. Made me tear up. I’m so appreciative to you and I’m so sorry you suffer with so much too. I’m also the same, I have Ehlers Danlos, POTS, osteo arthritis and spinal cord disease Spo I completely understand what you must go through. Sending so much love and strength to you 💓
To brew tea properly you need to pour the hot water onto the tea bags or leaves to release the flavour. The movement of the water is essential: even if you agitate the tea for a long time it will never be as good as if you had poured water onto the tea. As a British tea monster there is little as frustrating as being given a cup of hot water and a separate tea bag and it being called a cup of tea.
You and your Hubby should consider doing a monthly video, where you take your ideas on drinks like these, and tweak them to your liking. Ex: like on the "Tiki" drink, make it how you guys were discussing, citric acid rim, seltzer instead of sprite, spritz of lemon/lime, etc. Just a thought... ❤️
I would love an unedited (or semi-unedited if kids are involved) video. I just love your chemistry! And I have always been super curious about how you usually work with making these videos ♥️
The genuine camaraderie you have with Christopher is so wonderful to watch and experience. I love the videos when he is around. Sadly you don't see the respect you have for each other come thru the screen that often w/ other couples. 💏🥰
The coffee drink reminds me of a cold brew lemonade I had when I was living in Toronto. I didn't know what to expect but I said "Hey, I love coffee and I love lemonade. Let's go". I LOVED IT!!
omg that shot reminds me of the most delicious summer bbq dessert! you dip a pineapple in cinnamon and sugar and grill it or toast it on the campfire. ITS SO GOOD! i think it might be a Brazillian thing but I'm not 100% sure
As a girl with a feeding tube who cannot eat anything, thank you for these! I can only drink and I’m always looking for new things to try! :) I’m also going to be 21 soon ;)
I n the summer I use herbal or fruit tea blended with frozen fruit to make really nice smoothies, so maybe blend the tea mixture with the fruit and it would be better?
If you haven't already, you absolutely must try a Chambord and rumchatta shot for Christmas! It tastes like a jelly doughnut! Big tradition in my family around the holidays.
If you have access to Goya products in Canada, they make a peach nectar that I like to use as a mixer for cocktails, and during the summer makes an excellent addition to lemon/limeade.
Can we have a special edition about Chris (and Rach of course 😅) make a personal version about that kind of video??? I like when he get inspired to personalize the taste of drink and food 😍 like a tiktok version versus a Chris and Rach version 😁😁😁 pleaaaaase 🙏
Have you ever tried espresso with tonic water+ice+lime? We have it in cafes in Ukraine. Weirdly we also have coffee with orange juice. If it’s cold with ice we add caramel syrup to it and it’s called Bumble. If you do it hot, orange juice+espresso it’s called cappuorange (like cappuccino but without milk)
@@missgeschick6317 a chocolate creation about a bite size with filling. It’s made by using a polycarbonate mould making the shell, then you fill it and lastly you make the bottom ☺️ hopefully I described it okay haha 😆
A very nice cafe I used to work at had a tasting party one evening, and on the drinks menu was a gin, cold brew and orange slice cocktail. We started using orange slices in our cold brews as an option from then on and was bloody tasty especially if the coffee is citrus-y in nature.
18:30 This is epic!!! Rachel: _"... Pick your cocktail, for a party???"_ Hubs: _"I could throw them in my bath!"_ Leave it to your spouse to always throw a joke out like this, when we have a great idea! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bet as that iced tea drink sits, and the fruits defrost, it tastes more of mango and peach, with the fruit bits in it. Stab the fruit with the straw, and then drink the tea with a fruit bit?
We just tried something called a violet cloud martini, it was so yummy and super cool. It had a bubble on the top of it and you pop it with your nose, and then smoke? Steam? Fog? Whatever lol, comes out. It was super fun and worth trying. They used some kind of device to make the bubble on top, but not sure what it was. Steam gun? Bubble gun? I’ll see if I can find the recipe. I know it had mint and cucumber in it, which I wasn’t sure if it would go together, but it was very refreshing. It would be cool to watch you or Chris make this drink.
When you were testing out the product that you drop into beverages to flavor them and Christopher said it smelled like box candy and you said it smelled stale and he made the comment that all box candy is bad/ has gone bad was funny. Plus, it's so nice to hear that someone else has that opinion about it being stale or having gone bad. I was beginning to think I was the only one lol.
At this point you should probably try Swedish version for iced orange coffee. It's served all over Europe. It's amazing. 1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) chilled cold brew concentrate 3/4 cup (6 ounces) chilled tonic water lots of ice fresh orange or lemon slice That's the hit Rachel
You can make a kiddie cocktail version of the hocus pocus one using pineapple juice and blue hi-c/koolaid/Hawaiian punch. We do this on St. Patrick’s Day for my son :)
I think the "pumpkin" one needs some thing creamy. Maybe add some Bailey's or Kahlua? The tea one would be much better as a smoothie (boba!) Also, after watching a lot of drag race since lockdown, I was not prepared to have you say rim/rimmed that many times in that context 😅🤣
For the tea recipe I work at Starbucks and it’s similar to the peach green tea lemonade. fill your cup alllll the way up with ice or add water till desired taste because then the tea won’t be as potent. the girl in the video probably makes a big batch of super strong tea then waters it down a lot
Iced Jasmine tea with lemon slices & cucumber slices, makes an uhhhmazing ice tea in the Summertime! 6oz water per tea bag, then when it's done steeping, add the slices of either lemon or cucumbers, or both (what my Aunt does), and then leave it in the fridge for a few hours. Then pour it over ice... You need to like Jasmine tea, to like this, since it has a stronger flavor. It can be made sweetened as well. I honestly don't remember if it was sweetened when she originally made it. If so, it wasn't _super_ sweet. 🥰 ENJOY! 😁
How exactly did you discover this? Did a pickle accidentally fall into your soda? Or was it a dare? I'm not poking fun. I'm seriously curious how these 'recipes' come about- enquiring minds want to know, lol🤔😊
Use a different tea bag for the used fruit tea recipe. I've tried so hard to like basic green tea in a bag but I just can't. I just think tik tok is trying to make things and overhype them. Just do what YOU like 😉
Those cocktail bombs look so cool! My partner doesn't drink alcohol but I do and I'm always trying to think of ways we can have fun and tasty experiences together. (Edit: hopefully worth it for $18.50 for a 6-pack!)
Someone should tell Christopher that he counteracted pouring the soda down the stirring spoon with his vigorous stirring! Knocking out all the carbonation that you went out of your way to save!
Can I just say that Christopher is probably one of my favorite TH-cam spouses out there. You two are just so good together and it comes through clearly on camera.
So true ❤
Also his name isn't Tyler I feel like everyone's spouses name is Tyler
I also really like evan and katelyn
He's hubby goals for sure. A man who is cute, respectful and can cook? Did he have a single brother?
I totally agree with this. They are so adorable together!!
I still wanna see yall make a bunch of The Tipsy bartenders drinks lol
That would be hilarious!

Lol Rachel and Chris just using a video as an excuse to day drink 😂😂 love this video
I don't drink, but I will ALWAYS watch Rachel vids! Especially with Chris there for you to bounce ideas and opinions off of.😀❤️

THIS! Thank you for saying it. (raised in a Scottish household)
Also never steep green tea for 5 minutes! It'll make it super bitter. About 3 minutes for green tea.
You and your Hubby should consider doing a monthly video, where you take your ideas on drinks like these, and tweak them to your liking.
Ex: like on the "Tiki" drink, make it how you guys were discussing, citric acid rim, seltzer instead of sprite, spritz of lemon/lime, etc.

❤️
Christopher is always such a mood! I love him. ❤️
I would love an unedited (or semi-unedited if kids are involved) video. I just love your chemistry! And I have always been super curious about how you usually work with making these videos ♥️
Cinnamon and pineapple goes great together. A grilled pineapple in brown sugar and cinnamon is amazing tasting. I definitely say try it!
I don't even read the title at this point... Rachel posts, I click it ❤️
The genuine camaraderie you have with Christopher is so wonderful to watch and experience. I love the videos when he is around. Sadly you don't see the respect you have for each other come thru the screen that often w/ other couples. 💏🥰
10:50 I’m low-key disappointed Rachel… I reeeally thought you’d say: it’s not really my cup of tea 😂
NOOOO HOW DID I MISS THIS
@@RachhLovesLife I was sure you said it and maybe found it too corny and decided to cut it
Looking forward to Christmas hot cocoa and other Pinteresty fancy drinks ❤ Please also insert a couple of non-alcoholic ones as well 😀
The coffee drink reminds me of a cold brew lemonade I had when I was living in Toronto.
I didn't know what to expect but I said "Hey, I love coffee and I love lemonade. Let's go".
I LOVED IT!!
I love how this is not the first or second video Rachel has tried things so that she can get one of chris’ margaritas 😂 I love it!
omg that shot reminds me of the most delicious summer bbq dessert! you dip a pineapple in cinnamon and sugar and grill it or toast it on the campfire. ITS SO GOOD! i think it might be a Brazillian thing but I'm not 100% sure
Hi Rach...since Chris is a really good mixologist, how about trying a drink called Newton's Law. It is a bourbon drink with fall and winter vibes!
As a girl with a feeding tube who cannot eat anything, thank you for these! I can only drink and I’m always looking for new things to try! :) I’m also going to be 21 soon ;)
I n the summer I use herbal or fruit tea blended with frozen fruit to make really nice smoothies, so maybe blend the tea mixture with the fruit and it would be better?
Watching Rachel making drinks while drinking my coffee, perfect!
I keep getting an ad for the Bartesian at home cocktail machine. I would love to see you and Chris test it out. It's basically like a cocktail Keurig!
If you haven't already, you absolutely must try a Chambord and rumchatta shot for Christmas! It tastes like a jelly doughnut! Big tradition in my family around the holidays.
If you have access to Goya products in Canada, they make a peach nectar that I like to use as a mixer for cocktails, and during the summer makes an excellent addition to lemon/limeade.
I love making Earl Grey, hibiscus and lemon iced tea in the summer. It's tart and delicious!
rachel these videos are usually not my thing but you guys are so much fun and i can just watch these and turn my brain off so thank you
screaming at my screen watching you put that whole clementine in 😭😭
12:30 is just a blue breeze 😂 it’s only missing the cream of coconut. It’s my favorite drink
Love these videos! I wonder if jasmine in the tea altered the flaovr profile because it wasn't just green tea.
You need to try the Chocolate Cake shot. Hazelnut liqueur, vodka, followed by a sugared lemon slice. It really tastes like chocolate cake!
Can we have a special edition about Chris (and Rach of course 😅) make a personal version about that kind of video??? I like when he get inspired to personalize the taste of drink and food 😍 like a tiktok version versus a Chris and Rach version 😁😁😁 pleaaaaase 🙏
Would love to see a follow up video of you making your versions of the drinks with your improvements.
Love Chris showing his sassy side!! 💛💛🍁🍂

grilled pineapple with cinnamon on is the best thing ever. i had it at a Brazilian restaurant once. and i think about it often 😂
I had jerk chicken takeaway tonight, that came with a side of cinnamon grilled pineapple. It was awesome!
Eating my homemade chocolate bonbons whilst watching a Rachel video just automatically means amazing Saturday 👌🏼
😍💙
Out if curiosity: What do you mean by "chocolate bonbons"? I heard the Word bonbon in so many languages with different meanings

Hubs: _"I could throw them in my bath!"_
Leave it to your spouse to always throw a joke out like this, when we have a great idea!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been drinking margaritas since January and would love Christopher’s recipe. Mine never turn out the same twice.
I bet as that iced tea drink sits, and the fruits defrost, it tastes more of mango and peach, with the fruit bits in it. Stab the fruit with the straw, and then drink the tea with a fruit bit?
ahhh yes!!! just sat down with my pumpkin waffles breakfast, watching your videos! ILYSM RACHH
Finlandia vodka in Ultima Thule glass 💯🇫🇮 Christopher's Finnish roots are really showing here! Torille! 😃
At Brazilian steakhouses, they’ll do a grilled pineapple brushed with cinnamon and sugar and it’s SOOOO good
We just tried something called a violet cloud martini, it was so yummy and super cool. It had a bubble on the top of it and you pop it with your nose, and then smoke? Steam? Fog? Whatever lol, comes out. It was super fun and worth trying. They used some kind of device to make the bubble on top, but not sure what it was. Steam gun? Bubble gun?

It would be cool to watch you or Chris make this drink.
Fireball and pineapple jello shots are good also cherry jello and fireball with a maraschino cherry shots
There's a solid trend for 'botanical infusions'--not "mocktails," but original, complex flavors for adults, without alcohol. 😊
In Flordia the hocus-pocus drink is called the green gator
When you were testing out the product that you drop into beverages to flavor them and Christopher said it smelled like box candy and you said it smelled stale and he made the comment that all box candy is bad/ has gone bad was funny. Plus, it's so nice to hear that someone else has that opinion about it being stale or having gone bad. I was beginning to think I was the only one lol.
You shoul try grilld pineapple with cinamon and sugar, it is absolutely delicious!!
Loved this! Such a wholesome vibe on this channel - my weekly feel good moment! ❤
Rachel, love your videos, I have to ask where you got your sweatshirt from? I love it
Rach, have you tried tonic espresso? I was addicted to that drink, it’s so good
The hocus pocus with the pineapple is a favourite cocktail of mine, rum, curacao and sprite
A cafe I used to go to did a "cafe generra" - a latte with a bit of orange peel in it. I miss that cafe.
Try Somersby Apple cider and fireball it's like apple pie!!!
Clementines are not the same as oranges 😂 otherwise love the video! ♥️
WA state person here. Sparkling americano drink you made is a thing in a lot of coffee shops here
I’m obviously very immature but I couldn’t help but chuckle every time you said “rimmed”
Ngl, definitely searched the comments to see if it was just me 😂😂
At this point you should probably try Swedish version for iced orange coffee. It's served all over Europe. It's amazing.
1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) chilled cold brew concentrate
3/4 cup (6 ounces) chilled tonic water
lots of ice
fresh orange or lemon slice
That's the hit Rachel
Your sweatsuit, that color is amazing! Very flattering on you
Try a white cranberry margarita for Christmas! I saw it on Pinterest and need to try it myself!
That sounds delicious! 👌🏼
Rachel, you should test the Bartesian! You will love it 🎉
just watching them pour the pineapple juice and fireball together gave me heartburn
Rach I love these videos so much ❤
Yes to a Christmas drinks video , both alcoholic and non-alcoholic please! 💜
You can make a kiddie cocktail version of the hocus pocus one using pineapple juice and blue hi-c/koolaid/Hawaiian punch. We do this on St. Patrick’s Day for my son :)
The green drink does look sooo good.
I think the "pumpkin" one needs some thing creamy. Maybe add some Bailey's or Kahlua?
The tea one would be much better as a smoothie (boba!)
Also, after watching a lot of drag race since lockdown, I was not prepared to have you say rim/rimmed that many times in that context 😅🤣
If you like stuff that changes color, your HAVE TO try blue butterfly pea flowers, make a tea or cocktail and add lemon juice to it.
Love watching your videos!! You should make those edible crystals that are starting to take over tiktok!!
CLEARLY a homemade marg is best!
Christopher, may I have your marg recipe please? Thanks for another fun and educational video. You two are a highlight of my Saturdays.
For the tea recipe I work at Starbucks and it’s similar to the peach green tea lemonade. fill your cup alllll the way up with ice or add water till desired taste because then the tea won’t be as potent. the girl in the video probably makes a big batch of super strong tea then waters it down a lot
There’s a couple shots you should try: pickleback and mini beer. They’re not hard but very yummy!
SoftPourn is my favorite TikToker!!! His coffee knowledge without being snobby is top tier!
My favorite is a blue Hawaiian so that looks right up my alley
The next time you make it out to the SF Bay Area, you need to try a Mint Mojito coffee from Philz. It sounds weird but it's amazing!
Your videos are so fun!! Please try Mexican drinks for Christmas like ponche!!
Yes yes yes to Christmas cocktails!!
You can try apple juice with whiskey fireball, kinda taste like apple crumble
I’m so excited for the second part !!!
Oh am I the first comment 🥺
We need Christopher's Margarita recipe!!
If you do a Christmas drink episode, you should try a hot chocolate martini. They are so delicious. I served them at NYE party and people loved them.
Vanilla vodka and apple juice
I love watching you two together. You're too cute! Better than a Romcom.
yes theyre adorable together ! :)
Best quote ever”I can throw those in my bath” 😂😂😂😂
Ok is it a lot to ask for Christopher’s famous margarita recipe. It’s my fiancés favourite drink. I’d love to make it for him ❤
Iced Jasmine tea with lemon slices & cucumber slices, makes an uhhhmazing ice tea in the Summertime!
6oz water per tea bag, then when it's done steeping, add the slices of either lemon or cucumbers, or both (what my Aunt does), and then leave it in the fridge for a few hours.

😁
Wait what? What's mineral water for you guys? Like it bubbles and everything? We have seltzer water, sparkling water, carbonated water, and club soda.
Maybe for the peach margarita bomb you could do a double and add a few pumps of the peach juice so it’s not so bland
Love Christopher's shirt....
I swear up and down if you dip a dill pickle ( my favs are del Dixie brand) with Dr Pepper it tastes JUST LIKE cherry coke.
How exactly did you discover this? Did a pickle accidentally fall into your soda? Or was it a dare? I'm not poking fun. I'm seriously curious how these 'recipes' come about- enquiring minds want to know, lol🤔😊
I tried it.
I am wondering if the peach tea tastes anything like the Starbucks’ (UK) iced green tea lemonade with syrup🤔 i love that, so would have to try this 😁
You should do espresso-tonic. It’s sooo good
Oooooo, definitely do Christmas drinks!!!! 🎅🤶🌲
Christopher saying “be kind Christopher” his intrusive thoughts didn’t win today 😂
Christopher’s peach margarita recipe please, please, please!!!!!😂
