  • Greg makes 3 drinks he has never had from The Modern Bartenders Guide while he and Meredith chat. It's an after party so anything goes.
    In this episode we use a Baldoria Vermouth which is currently shipping free at Curiada - bit.ly/drinkcraftvermouth. They're from the team behind Little Red Door, which is a destination avant-garde cocktail bar in Paris that is consistently ranked one of the Top 10 Bars in the World. The vermouths have JUST arrived to the US and as you can see in the episode are worth a try.

    Hey Meredith, I read an article from NPR recently (dated Jan. 26) about a nonalcoholic drinks festival in Washington DC. One of the organizers said "All of the early bartending manuals include nonalcoholic drinks" but after Prohibition "people stopped treating people who don't drink alcohol like adults." It's a really interesting article if you want to google it. It also mentions there are nonalcoholic bitters that might be interesting to try. I don't know if any of this would work for content on the channel, but I thought I'd mention it in case you're interested for personal use. Also, good luck to you and your partner. Trying to get pregnant can be incredibly stressful, especially if there are medical procedures involved. I hope it all goes well.

      I have EDS so I handle anesthesia weird (it's actually recommended for those with the condition to remind their anesthesia team during pre-op talk) and was getting wisdom teeth and rear molars extracted and was laying there with the mask on my face during count out and just looked at the tech and stared into that man's soul like "shouldn't I be out? I'm not out" and he got wide eyed and held the mask tighter on my face like he was trying to smother someone with a pillow. I asked about it when I was in recovery and the nurse said "Oh. You actually remember that?"

      I have CPTSD and needed to have an MRI which is on the No list at this point, so they gave me twilight. They thought for SURE I was out. ear buds in place, put me in, started everything up and I sat up and plaster myself to the inside of the machine. I am Blind. My husband is Very soft spoken., and finally had to Crawl Inside the machine, because I Can't hear him, to come GET me, and I Can't See him. It took about half an hour, for him to realize as I'm trying to crawl out the back of the machine, that I just couldn't hear him. Once he had ahold of me, I stopped freaking out like a switch had been flipped.

    Story about Twilight anesthesia I’ve had a few surgeries in the past 5-6 years and the second one the anesthesiologist told me they were going to try twilight method. After my surgery I woke up like an hour later than expected. When they came to see me afterwards they told me that I had an “interesting reaction” to twilight. Instead of sedating me and allowing for the surgery to continue I started to try and get up because the surgeon said I needed to be repositioned so “Wait I can do that for you.” Anesthesiologist said it was the first time he’s ever had full conversations with someone under twilight and I have total amnesia from right around when he injected me with the cocktail to waking up afterwards. They had to put me under general anesthesia to continue the surgery because I wasn’t going out lol. Since then I’ve told every single anesthesiologist that I do not want twilight, and they always give me a look of “how do you know about this” and then I tell them the story.
    Edit: oh and when I woke up I almost got violent and they were ready to restrain me because mixing twilight and general is a whole nother business lol

    I used to be really stressed about anesthesia, but genuinely, having surgery made me less afraid of dying. I understand it’s different for everyone, but the absoluteness of the nothing I perceived under anesthesia-not even the *awareness* of having missed anything at all-was really reassuring. I felt groggy after I finally woke up, but after the fact it’s been a helpful experience.
    (I also used to be worried I’d say/do something crazy after being under, but apparently I was just quiet and tired both times, so that’s another fear out of the way lmao)

    My high school did Anything Goes my sophomore year (might have been junior year). I was in the pit orchestra, and rather than being down in the pit under the stage we were all in white tux jackets up on top of the set just out of the main stage lights. Since the show takes place on a cruise ship, the set was built to look like the side decks of an old time cruise ship, and we were the ship band out on the upper decks. It was a lot of fun, although we had to actually look presentable rather than the filthy pit goblins we were for most shows.

      I don't understand this surgery, maybe if it is necessary to stop a life threatening illness or birth defect but just to stop sperm production? that its literally vile and sounds like slam metal lyrics. Why would a man intentionally want to have his nads severed? I'm gagging just at the thought of it. Birth control and condoms are a thing if you really need to have sex that often. Not trying to shit on you for doing what you want, just saying it's extremely excessive. Vasectomies used to be a sentence for sexual crimes against children and rape.

    Honestly: I do have nights where it just feels like someone pushed a button, and then I am just out.
    Because one moment it is evening, then I blink, and suddenly it is next morning. It can happen in the middle of me doing something as well. One time it happened whilst I was writing an essay for school.

      If you wake up with signs of moderate-to-severe hypoglycemia (feeling excessively hungry or thirsty, headaches, or shakiness, for example...), it could be an indicator that your passing out at inopportune times are maybe a bit more than just being tired.
      Maybe I'm reading more into what you wrote than you intended, but, unless there are other specific driving reasons for what you're describing about these occurrences, you might want to talk to your doctor about potential neurological concerns.

Seems like there are hundreds of bottles in the studio, so I wonder if she just remembers where every single one came from?

    The only time I went under anesthesia was when I was so stressed at taking my wisdom teeth out that the doctor was like, "you want to not be awake for this" and I just went "yes please" 😅 and I didn't wake up for any of the process and I still appreciate that

    According to cocktail historian David Wondrich, a dash is about 1/4 of a teaspoon. Personally I use that measurement when making old cocktails. It makes more sense when using syrups or liqueurs than the more modern interpretation of 1/8 Teaspoon. Here are some more old measurements used in cocktails:
    - 1 Wine-glass (or sherry glass) = 2 Ounces
    - 1 Liqueur-glass = ~1 Ounce
    - 1 Pony Glass = 1 Ounce

      @@howtodrink Yes, you're correct, old teaspoons varied in capacity. However, if you take the median of the capacities you get closer to 5ml, the modern teaspoon. This doesn't take into account the average, but that would require more research to get a possible answer.

      That's for dry ingredients, though! A dash in liquids is literally 10 drops - as in those old-fashioned medicine drop dispensers that were in the lid/cap of medicine bottles. Basically take 10 eyedropper drops, that should be about right.

    Anesthesia was dope for me. I had shoulder surgery a year and a half ago. I went in, they put me to sleep, and woke up with a shoulder that won’t dislocate. They tried to keep me longer after surgery but I wasn’t driving so I said no no you can wheelchair me out and I’m going home. I was certainly not ready to move as I got up from the wheelchair walking a manhattan block to my brothers car and realizing I certainly should’ve stayed longer but I made It safely back to Long Island and a year and a half later my shoulder has not dislocated!

    I'll be real, yeah, I'm pretty much edit-cut-to-morning when I sleep. I mean, if a sound happens I'll wake up, but I'm not surveying my surroundings while I'm sleeping.
