Game of Thrones "Shade of the Evening" | How to Drink

- On this episode of How to Drink, I’m making a cocktail that was inspired by Game of Thrones called the “Shade of the Evening.” I thoroughly enjoyed making this cocktail by using some of the techniques from Dave Arnold like Nitro-Muddling, which was so much fun. Though my version may not be the exact drink that Dany drinks, it is still delicious and has me feeling like I can conquer whoever. So if you’re as big of a Game of Thrones fan as I am then I highly recommend trying this drink out! Cheers!
Described in Daenerys IV of a Clash of Kings thus:
"Dany raised the glass to her lips. The first sip tasted like ink and spoiled meat, foul, but when she swallowed it seemed to come to life within her. She could feel tendrils spreading through her chest, like fingers of fire coiling around her heart, and on her tongue was a taste like honey and anise and cream... like red meat and hot blood and molten gold. It was all the tastes she had ever known, and none of them . . . " We're not going for that exactly, more something that tastes pretty good with a general nod in the direction of whatever all of that was. Now in making this drink I use liquid nitrogen in a technique that Dave Arnold developed called Nitro-Muddling. When you muddle herbs they turn brown and oxidize and this mutes their flavors, but if you muddle them in a bath of liquid nitrogen they can't oxidize, because there's no oxygen. This also has the effect of crygenically pulverizing them into dust, destroying their cells entirely, which causes herbs and such to give up all their pigments to the drink. Dave uses the technique to make a basil margarita that is neon green and the color comes solely form the basil, it's pretty cool. That said: Liquid Nitrogen is dangerous stuff. Do not handle this on your own unless you have some training in it's safe an proper handling.
Shade of the Evening Ingredients:
5 Sage Leaves
Some Dried Butterfly Pea Blossoms
A Little Liquid Nitrogen
2 oz or 60 ml Batavia Arrack
.5 oz or 15 ml Maurin Quina
.5 oz or 15 ml Demerara Syrup
.5 oz or 15 ml Gum Syrup
An Absinthe Rinse
Garnish with a Single Sage Leaf

This is really cool, but I'm a little confused. You say not to drink liquid nitrogen, but the drink has lots in it when you sip it doesn't it?
Nope. I should have done a better job of making that clear in the video. Liquid nitrogen evaporates super fast. When you see that huge white cloud come out of the shaker as I pour in the Batavia, that's about all the warmer-than-400-degress-below-zero-celcius that the liquid nitrogen can take and the last of it fully evaporates right there. By the time we're done adding ingredients and shaking this thing there's nothing left. In the case of the glass being chilled it's common practice to throw any remnants of liquid nitrogen onto the floor where they'll harmlessly evaporate into gas almost instantly before pouring the drink. This video was already so long, it was hard to figure out what to focus on here.
Did you mean 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit? Because 400 below zero Celsius is below absolute zero.
My science is weak.
yeah, for nitro muddling, Dave Arnald suggests after a few seconds of liquid nitrogen, fine strain the frozen, unshattered herbs from the tin then dump them back to shatter. safety first.
Liquid nitrogen is really cold, that’s what kills you. Air is mostly nitrogen
Soooooooo when’s he ganna make a flaming green drink called Wildfire
Probably this spring when GoT comes back.
Try tequila, blue bols, mango nectar, and bacardi 151. And light it.
Just take mouthwash and set it on fire!
@@howtodrink Cocktail Chemistry beat you to it!
His is great! I actually decided to pass on a “Wildfire” drink
Shade of the evening in German can be roughly translated to "Nachtschatten" and "Nachtschattengewächse" are a group of plants that contain strong hallucinogens like scopolamine and atropine. 🤓 I watched the series in German (where I think they call it "Nachtschattenessenz") so I always thought this comes from there
A Lannister always pays his bar tab.
Jonathan Leiman lol I like this
Unless it’s Tyrion, even lannisters aren’t that rich
That would be a competition, the king of Westeros vs the god of tits and wine
this one was pretty cool because you created your own drink. i can only imagine what your liquor cabinet looks like.
I should post pics of it at some point, it's an overflowing glass cabinet I got at Ikea.
Aka the Purple Drank
Acidity effects the color of the drink to because of those flowers
lean or what lol
God damn dude I can't get enough of this channel. The production and cinematography is so good.
Thank you!
Dude your game of thrones drinks are giving me life.
That is the most beautiful color I've ever seen in a drink. Well done!
Thank you! Very high praise!
MORE Warlock cocktails, please! This was absolutely mesmerizing and entertaining.
I think this might be my favourite video yet! Not just for the nitrogen (though that was very cool), but just the whole concept of making this drink from GoT. Nice work!
thank you!
Seriously, didn't even know blue curaco actually went that far back. Awesome bit of knowledge right there!
It was a surprise to me too
handling nitrogen without wearing any safety gear would not be allowed in my country (Australia) is this because we are over regulated or Greg is pissed again , like your style keep up the good work.
A face shield/goggles wouldn’t be a bad idea but gloves are actually more dangerous. It really just bounces off your skin. Clothes are another matter. I’m not really sure what the “law” says about it here but I doubt there is one, and I certInly didn’t care
@@howtodrink our research department has such "regulations". The gloves we have are specialized for LN since we use big tanks with flexible metal hoses that really frost up to fill small Dewars. Lord knows someone would hang onto that hose too long and stick to it! Goggles are there, hanging on a hook in case someone wants them, but if you wear glasses you are hood.
I just started watching this today, and I've already subscribed! You have fantastic cinematography, and I honestly really enjoy your no nonsense, get down to business attitude. Your presentation, is something I didn't know I was looking for, but I'm glad I found.
Music to my ears and thank you! Glad to be found!
Keep it up! You're channel WILL take off! Thoroughly enjoy everything you have put out.
Thank you!
Just randomly discovered your channel and I love it! Gonna have to try some of these recipes out!
nitrogen? batavia arrack? maurin quina? its good to see you making your drinks so accessible :-D looks really cool, though. fun episode
This is a fair point and I take it, and thanks for watching!
hey every once in a while you gotta show off your knowledge and skills
As long as you keep mixing it up! Make a ridiculous cocktail one week, then the next week give us something we can actually make. Love it!
mobydobius what do you mean? You can buy a bottle of both of those for under 60 bucks anywhere in the US.
yeah lemme just get these two expensive very specific drinks for this one very specific drink that i may not even like
Fucking hell, the presentation, personality, camera work and over all quality is amazing, the fact that you don't have more views and more subscribers is a tragedy
onii-sama thank you so much for saying so! Things are growing pretty steadily these days though, I can’t complain.
@@howtodrink well congrats on your growth
I tell you man I look forward to watching every new video you make. I commented on your old fashion video I believe but like I may have said again all the drinks, work, and video editing you do is just amazing! I've told all my friends about your videos you deserve to be famous!!
Thank you!
Love these GoT-inspired cocktails! And that glass there is just stunning!
Holy crap, you're a genius! I've subbed to every ASoIaF theory channel on the platform. I'm so surprised I'm not seeing you channel linked by everyone. They would all love, what you're doing with the series! I'll let them know ASAP, some of them are pretty good about reading comments.
i adore this video because game of thrones is my favorite show ever
AKA "What probably killed Joffrey"
Sorry to be that guy, but actfhually Jeoffrey was poisoned with something called "the strangler". Maester Cressen tries to kill Mellisandre with the same stuff
Another fantastic video, amazing looking as always. I may not be able to make this but it doesn't lessen my enjoyment. I'm glad you set up that Patreon.
Thank you so much! Heh, I'm sure plenty of people are skipping the "home game" on this one. You'd be surprised how many swear to me they're making it though... Still, this is something I consider a bit of a "stunt drink"
How To Drink I have to skip it simply because I try to keep my home bar simple and not collect bottles I'll rarely use.
That is one of the most interesting cocktails I've ever seen. Beautiful colour and super intrieguing ingredients. Good work!
Edit: I complimented the colour twice and I'm not even drunk ^_^
All that gloveless liquid nitrogen handling has the chemist in me silently screaming. Awesome episode.
Counter to lab safety rules, but common thinking is it’s safer without gloves due to leidenfrost. Safety glasses would be a super good idea though
@@howtodrink Very true. You would not want the liquid nitrogen to melt a glove to your hand. Or dissolve an eyeball. I mean, you'd probably break your view count, but don't do that. We like you too much. ☺
hey guy, this is awesome, well done. i've never seen anybody try and make this GoT recipe! if only i had enough space to store all the ingredients, i'd try making all of your cocktails
Thank you! I hear you on the space issue, my apartment is very tiny and it's a huge issue for me too.
This channel makes me want a career change to be a bartender. Scotch whiskey is my favorite spirit so when I see a cocktail that matches the complexity and maturity of scotch whiskey I am always intrigued
You guys topped yourselves here -- great job.
Thank you!
Yo why have I never seen this channel before. I've been binge watching all these episodes and I feel so at home 😂
TH-cam is a fickle mistress my friend, thanks for finding me!
Man I really want to taste this! Looks great!
Love your videos as always
Thank you!
I like how you always seem surprised by how good your drinks are.
Never watched that show. But that drink looks like something out of a fantasy world.
Yep, good call on the mad scientist vibes!
Man... That's an amazing looking drink, and as you said highly suspicious :) amazing as always...
That looks absolutely fantastic!
thank you!
Dude this was awesome! I just started watching your channel yesterday and I'm hooked. You being a GoT fan is a total plus.
Thank you!
Greg, I always love your videos and this one is no exception. for the end of your recording season would you be able to put a video together about what the bar should be stocked with ingredient wise?
With how great your production value is, you'll take off eventually! Keep rockin it!
Thank you! There's a whole second series of videos I want to do where I just quickly answer questions and give tips to camera. It's something I'm working on finding the time to make happen.
NERRRD!!! (I kid, I 100% approve) ;)
I know the video ran a bit long for your usual already, however it'd be nice to learn a bit more from you about these less-common spirits and liqueurs. Obviously, I can just look stuff up on Wikipedia, but it's interesting to hear a live person's perspective on tastes and smells and likes, etc.
Cheers!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Looking back if I was going to keep revising this drink, I might tone down the sweetness just a touch.
How To Drink I would drop the gum syrup. You already have the demerara.
you guys should do a special on Beachcomber drinks. I just got one of his cocktail handbooks. pure gold.
Hey man, awesome video !
I have a question, what would you advise to do if we were to reproduce this receip, but without risking to manipulate liquid nitrogen ? Would storing the leaves and the glass in the freezer before the making of the cocktail be a viable option ?
Thanks !
T
Dude, I really enjoy this channel. I don't watch TV, and this drink seems shit. You make it entertaining, and my wife LOVES the show, and often has others over to watch it, I will be making this crap for them to keep them out of my hair. I will be out on the back patio with the dog, enjoying one of your good recipes... in peace... bless you sir. BTW I am from Cuba, and live in Miami by the water, make some more Cuban stuff. Thanks! -Rob
The jump cuts are wrecking the amazing polish your videos have. :-( Just let it roll and keep 'em coming!
Maybe I'll post some "unedited" stuff at some point
Scott Detweiler Agreed. It makes it seem extremely amateurish, like he can't go more than five words without flubbing a line, so they stitched together the least bad parts of different takes.
Drink looks sick though!
Timothy Reeves No, there's nothing wrong with a few cuts. They are VERY preferrable to a mistake or slurred word or awkward joke he decided against. You wanna see crazy rapid fire machinegun cuts watch Jeremy Jahns or myself
Hi, great show you have here, thumbs up. Although Batavia Arrack, Maurin Quina, and gum syrup, are nigh inaccessible for me (I live in Prague), it is awesome you came up with your own drink. I love your passion for mixing and history. I guess you could make it a little more accessible by swapping the butterfly pea blossoms for simple wild blueberries. They grow here, a lot smaller than those you get in the supermarket, and their pulp is a very dark hue of purple/blue (you can't get the stains off by any means). Just a thought. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you! Some of these drinks are admittedly "stunt drinks", I never anticipated people would be scavenging ingredients to make this one! It's awesome that you are!
I was exploring an option the other day, and I thought, would you try making your own tonic water/syrup a making a video of it? Thx
Oh my God sooo goooddd, them close up scenes thooo geezzzz soo cool!! Just wow upsexy !! Keep it up!! Cheers!!
This was maybe mentioned in the comments earlier, but that butterfly tea will turn bright blue when you add some acid to it.
I use it all the time when doing hokey halloween themed drinks. Serve it purple like that with all the ingredients but the acid and then let them stir in the acid themselves.
Best finale ever
I love Game of Thrones! That drink looks really cool. Kinda jealous ;)
Hell of a good job with this!
Thank you!
Never watched it but the cocktail is sooo pretty! 💜👾💜
This is truly an awesome drink relating to the books/show, idk if I will ever attempt it, but looks great! Cheers.
thank you! Yeah, it's sort of uh... outside the realm of the normal home bartender, but fun I hope anyway.
Euron Greyjoy likes quite a bit this video.
Can't wait to make this at home...
I'm all about wine on my channel but I gotta say...some days calls for a cocktail, so I've subscribed to How to drink 😉🍷
I love the spotlight on your counter, it really makes some drinks pop, but maybe tone the brightness down since it kinda dulled the bright purple color of the drink.
I'm glad I was looking for a crazy drink n found this channel ... New subscriber :D
Interesting original. Not one that I could attempt, but well done.
I shouldn't say this but once you own the dewer flask liquid nitrogen is very cheap and easy to handle...
That was a really awesome drink I want to try an make that one
First... just found your channel today and love it! Looking for a suggestion on a drink to celebrate the return of the XFiles. My geek out!
Glass you found me! X-Files is a great idea for an episode! Something I may tackle in the near future
Caption: He is going to geek out a little to long here. Let's fast forward. Me: But Greg geeking out is why i am here!
It looks amazing I don't even know what it tastes like but I want to drink it
das cool. GoT has so many poisons with cool names that would be badass cocktails: Tears of Lys, The Strangler, Wolfsbane, and even Milk of the Poppy.
Thank you! The first three are designed to kill you quickly, the fourth one to kill you slowly... But that doesn't mean we can't base some awesome cocktails on those!
That deer looks like its whispering cocktail secrets into your ear
Coolest drink ever!
Wow! That looks grand!
Needed a lab-coat at the end with that thing smoking!
Should try Pineapple Sage for this or other cocktails, it's absolutely amazing.
Will not be making this one, but cool nonetheless. Ry has been playing the song of Fire and Ice on his Ocarina (up the nerd factor) again since we are so close to the big day!
On a side note: I also think cocktail courier might be an excellent partner. Check em out.
Always appreciate a tip!
I really Love the background Music !
This is just awesome!
Just found your channel and wow it's amazing! Looking forward to more videos from you :D
3rd video in a row. Think I'm hooked.
I was thinking of doing a shade of the evening cocktail for a game of thrones party. In the books it seems like a much more bitter drink than sweet though, so I was going to base it around campari
Awesome drink and great episode as usual! Loved the story about the blue curacao you should make a drink with the original one you described (and not the chemical one that's on sale nowdays).
Cheers from Israel!
I plan to at some point. The flowers are pretty cool, I didn't even get into the fact that they're a natural Ph indicator, and you can use them to make color shifting drinks. Tea made from the flowers is blue when in the presence of a base, but if you increase the acid it will turn increasingly purple-to-red.
Who films this, or do you do it yourself? This might legit be the best looking show on the internet (host included)
Thank you Tom! I never mind a little flattery. The look of the show is primarily the down to our cinematographer, John Hudak Jr. We've got a small crew to make this happen.
I don't drink and here I am watching these cocktails on repeat.
I don't know if this was suggested in earlier comments but, to get that "dead body" essence, a touch, a TOUCH if durian fruit might do you. It actually has a nice flavor, it just stinks to high heaven.
I just don’t think I want that dead body flavor...
Hey man! Very interesting vid, really neat looking drink, I have to say now I am inclined to buy some Maurin Quina and some liquid nitrogen. Btw. Both in the vid and in the description you are using cl(centiliters) instead of ml(mililiters) and 1 cl = 10 ml. Anyways, regards!
Oh geez. I've made a terrible mistake... let's see what I can do about that.
I'm planning on hosting a TV/Movie inspired cocktail night. You've just made my life extremely difficult!
I'm sorry man...
More geeky, original drinks, please! 😍
Thank you! I'm working on it!
Can you post an unedited asoiaf theory craft that you cut. Big geek on ASoIaF and would love to hear your thoughts on the warlock hahaa
Had a few requests for this, I'll have to dig it out. It should be a patreon asset though, I do a whole extended-cut thing over there.
Dude...ungodly...awesome presentation...I feel like a .5oz Jaeger would set this off
Awesome work man, loving the videos! GOT is out?
Not yet! New season premieres on July 16th. I've just got itchy-posting-fingers!
Wow, very cool.
Thank you!
So one of us pronounces demerara wrong...
The glass cover at the end is like the rose cover from beauty and the beast.
I just bought Butterfly Pea powder for Soap making n also Blue Curacao for vegan jello , I didnt know thats why it has that Beautiful color , I was wondering if it was Natural color or not . I guess Blue Malva flower would work too , I saw an herbal Tea made out of it .
Greg, where did you get that glass dome you used there at the end? It looks super cool!
Try the Night's King sour next. Cool blue drink.
Great video! Although you are converting fl. oz. to cl a bit wonky... Should be ml instead of cl I think :p
I can totally make this at home
The roomy suggests you try Durian fruit if you want an Irish kind of funk.
Ahhhh I need to make this someday
Use great caution when you do
this dude is just my ela teacher as a cocktail-maker
That's fantastic! Not ingredients I tend to keep around, but would definitely love to do this for some guests at some point. :-)
lol just coming back here after seeing this from the start, to the link in kelp shake. cant believe ur at almost 1.5m subs already god damn
“Who wants an Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips.”
Alright look, I don't normally talk about future releases, but we shot that exact episode. Expect it after the summer.
Thats brilliant, big big fan of your channel Greg all the best!
I feel like if Greg went to the House of the Undying, he'd end up geeking out with the warlocks about cocktails
So, did I miss something, or did you put ice In a drink that already has liquid nitrogen? Isn't that redundant by that point?
We have used liquid nitrogen to make fresh ice cream at work, a side benefit of having it on tap to cool the electron microscope and other equipment. Now another use, nerd happiness is complete.
Out of curiosity, why does floating liquid nitrogen on top of the drink ruin it? Like what does it do to the flavor/components?
