"Everytime i close my eyes they try to put me in a pine box" hahaha i need to meet that gentleman. Very funny.
This was a great video, had no clue they had mixed drinks.
You need your own show on the history channel
Thanks!! Glen Gold is a treasure
Yes, Glenn is very cool. Love his laugh!!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Too bad so many people want to ignore the older generation. If you sit back and listen to people like Glen, we not only learn a lot, but can appreciate their usually dry sense of humor. Cheers! 🍺
Glen is the uncle or pappy that stopped caring what others thought long ago and just enjoys himself while he still can
🤠
Another great and interesting video thank you so much love this channel 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Our pleasure!
Something that I'm not really surprised that people don't know. Liquor in the old west was kind of crappy. And the Cowboys wanted something to drink that could mask the flavor of really bad booze. I'm honestly glad that I sent somebody else knows this.
True. There was some rotgut. Most of those cowboys were just trying to get drunk and have fun. Be like college kids these days shooting Tequila or Everclear. Nobody really loves the taste, but it gets you there!
The same was true during Prohibition.
My favorite drink back before 74 when I quit drinking was a Tom Collins. I read once that during the revolution, barmaids used to stir drinks with a feather that had enough of the feathers removed for them to hold the stem. A Frenchman, who had ordered a drink, in seeing a barmaid doing this said, Ah, Le Cocks Tail, and supposedly, that's where the term came from.
I haven't heard that one. Thanks for sharing it!
Except that in French it's spelled coque
Cuz if I sleep with my eyes closed they keep trying to put me in a pine box! LOL!!! Too funny. Another great video!
He's a hoot.
Excellent video, Santee!
During the hearing following the Gunfight Near the OK Corral, Wyatt Earp described how he'd tried to get Ike Clanton to sell out some of his cohorts. Wyatt said that he and Ike went out back while the bartender mixed their drinks.
So much easier in a movie to show everybody downing straight whisky, but mixed drinks were very popular in the Old West.
Thanks Rick!
2k subs... this calls for a mixed drink! Another excellent video!
Much appreciated, amigo! What are we gonna do for your 2K?

CONGRATS Arizona Ghostriders on making 2K Subscribers, I'm so happy for you guys! See you on down the trail as always. Morgan T.
Morgan Trenshaw thanks for appreciating our work!
Enjoyed!
Since I just made a beef bone stock last night and it was in the fridge, seemed like a great time to try a _beef tea._ Couldn't readily find any info online telling how to make it, so just put a shot of brandy in about 3 oz of cold beef stock & stirred it with a celery stalk. Verdict: *I like it* Certainly "invigorating" and savory.
love these vlogs make me laugh everytime
Old Mucker thank you!
laugh i meant lol i love the wild west and anything cowboys & indians
they had my favorite cocktail back then
Mine too
@@ArizonaGhostriders Tom Collins?
@@baydonwood-rich7410 Whiskey punch.
Very cool guys
Thank you, Amber
I’ll drink to that🍹🍸🍷👍🏻
My favourite cocktail is Bourbon. In a glass.
Aw, heck, I just drink out of the bottle.
My personal favorite is the
S H E R L Y T E M P L E
She was a gem
Awesome Video 👍
Thank you!
👍👍👍😎 your videos are entertaining and has good information.
Thank you.
I need a nice tall glass of beef tea ☕️
You and me both! Seriously, a friend told me that he used to work at an exclusive club for wealthy ranchers out here and they drank the stuff. Bourbon and Bullion.
Nice vest
Thanks
Heard of one from Cowboy Bebop. It was called a Prairie Oyster.
Good for hangovers. Think it was Vinegar, salt, Powder Pepper, and an Egg Yoke.
Yeah...I've heard of it. Yuck.
Mixed drinks in the olde West. The biggest mix in the beer & whiskey . was DUST from the moustaches & cowboy hats ,yes DUST ! ha ha
Yes...flavorful, right?
Awsome stuff santee cant wait to see the movie
Well...as soon as I know I'll let you all know.
Bill Brazelton is full of the spirits..hehehe
Yes he is
Ha! Like the Rustler's Rhapsody clip about the "large glass of warm gin" part. Seems to be a forgotten movie, but I thought it was pretty funny.
A terrfic movie
You all are very funny and very entertaining! I'm really glad that I found tour chanel!
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Santee watching a wild west documentary yesterday on youtube called TONY ROBINSONS WILD WEST, they mentioned that back in Tombstone these hard men's favoirite drink was a Gin fizz toddy (Lol), its increadible to think that these hard dudes were drinking cocktails instead of rot-gut whiskey or anything of that kiind (obviously some did indulge in this beverage, but their fasvourite was...)
Very interesting. I would like to try mixing one of those.
I know fl. Is not the old west but was one of the last frontiers in the east. My dad told me of a drink that his dad said he heard from his grandfather. So five generations back. And my grandfather was born in the 1890,s.
But they made a moonshine from suger cain syrup skimming. So kinda like a rum.
Anyway
Whiskey mixed with cain juice and the juice of one key lime.
I have had a version every was the same but the moonshine was corn based instead of cain.
It's not bad.
I bet it's really good!
Another great episode! I'll stick with whisky and beer.
lloyd bulman hear ya!
Like number #100 you're killing it Santee! Growing like a weed!
I appreciate that RH!
I still classify ice in my liquor high falutant! I'm with ya on sticking to whiskey!
HA! Yeah, it pains me to receive a beverage with leaves and sprigs coming out of it. Taking up good alcohol room if'n yuh ask me.
I guess it's time for a cocktail
I'm ready!
Beer in one hand shot in the other and no little umbrellas
That works.
oh yah congrats on 2k
Thank you much!
Hello cowboy, I'm watching wanting a glass of wine. Keep the whisky. Funny about the punch .
Found this very interesting friend. Nice to see ya. See ya in down the trail friend. 🌵
Thanks for watching Belle!
Whenever by great grandpa would have a Sarsaparilla wich he was fond of his wife would say "drinking heavy again, eh?"
Old people are fun
they are!
@@ArizonaGhostriders what was an old muelskinner
Remember Santee - Talk is cheap, but money buys whiskey.
LOL!I will remember that!
Best intor ever
Thanks.
@@ArizonaGhostriders no problem
Nice parisian vest
Thank you. It's the nicest silk vest I own.
No Guarma Rum?
LOL!
I used to be partial to Bourbon and Rootbeer myself.....
Hmmm....never tried that.
Really great! You're editing is superb :)
Thank you. I really enjoy it.
Even Karl May mentioned one of his heroes sipping mint julep.
At least this he made right!
Mint julep!
The drink being made in the photo shown at 2:04 is the "Blue Blazer" taste great and you get to light it on fire
Oooo!!! Thanks for the info.
Buffalo Bill favored a mixed drink called a stone fence, it was mixed with 2/3 gin and 1/3 squeezed lemon. My favorite is a bourbon mixed old fashion, this drink was created in the 1920's. Don't have it often, last one was in February 2020. After this lock down is over I'll have another.
Old Fashioneds are good!
Excellent. Congrats on the movie thing. Did T-Rex get your back? Glen is great! That pine box remark 😂👍🏻
I appreciate it! Rex wasn't allowed on set this time. Apparently someone on the crew is scared of Cretaceous era dinosaurs. Sheesh!
I thought a mixed drink in the old West was dropping a shot glass into your beer. Guess I learned something. LMBO
I've never tried that.
A Cry in the Night: The Legend of La Llorona.
Not this one. This is "Legend of 5 Mile Cave" available on Amazon Prime and Peacock.
Saturday mornings are not complete without imbibing of Arizona Ghostriders.
HA! Great!
Arizona Ghostriders I liked that special effect of the banging on the head at the end of video, like #102.
Thanks!
Yeee haaa!! I getting drunk 😵 sure has hell...Is that two Santee's in the screen!!
One for each gun.
Nice picture with tiffany B
Yes, she made me look good!
@@ArizonaGhostriders , shes an old friend of mine. Btw. Really been enjoying your videos! Really helpful. I live up in William's, Az and going to be a part of the downtown show this summer, and on the Grand Canyon railway. Y'all should come up sometime this summer and get away from the heat
@@cameronmanning7319 Been wanting to ride that train and catch that show! Thanks for the invite and enjoy doing the show.
no adult beverage needed to enjoy this video
I'll take a Tom collins, take 2....awesome video! ♡
Thank you!
Huh...never thought about cocktails being in the old west...also didn't know about it being a slang term for someone (or a horse) that is low born but raises above their rank..Never too old to learn something new as me grandmother said.
nice to learn a little something new every once in a awhile, eh?
Nice vid man! Nice day were I live! When can u do the vid on old west dogs
Andrew, it may be a month until I get to it. Hope that's ok.
Mixed drinks!!! How about a shot of mescal!!
I see the white elephant in fort worth tx when I go to the stock yords
Pretty cool!
Beef stock and brandy sounds reel nice
I"m afraid to try it.
I think that would be a good drink for a cold winter day.
Congrats on hitting 2k!!! Whooooh! Greetings from Austin, TX :) A cowboy sipping a champagne flip?? What kind of tomfoolery is that? Hehe!
LOL! Hope you are enjoying your tour!
My brother is a Bartender and a guy came up to the bar and Ordered a Cosmo and a Vodka and Soda water. My brother poured both. The man started to drink the Cosmo and Carried away the Vodka.
After a couple of times the guy doing this. He asked “Your Drinking the Cosmo? The guy said yes and said the Vodka was for his wife” MY BROTHER LAUGHED TOOK THE COSMO FROM HIM AND SAID ORDER SOMTHING ELSE” IM NOT MAKING YOU COSMOS FOR YOU ALL NIGHT. PANSY. (DUMPING IT OUT).
(SO YES. SOMETIMES YOU ARE JUDGED BY YOUR DRINK ORDER)
Unless your a confused “male” about What Bathroom You should Use??? ORDER A MANS DRINK PANSY NOT A “Fuzzy Navel”
HAAH!
Been a very long time since I've heard someone called a pansy
One cocktail for the road and I'm done.
Hopefully they gave you one of those great keeper names like Merle or Hamilton. Congrats on the part
I think it was "Hey You"!
hey guys. Arizona born and raised right here. Love my state. I have to admit I’ve only been to Tucson one time. Would love to go visit Tombstone someday. have you ever been to Crown King Arizona? Definitely an old little ghost town. I lived there for about four years. Thanks for sharing this is great
My Blind Mamas Messy Kitchen thanks and I will visit Crown King one day!
did I hear you say Toddy Cheese??? The lawn is mowed and for some reason, the wife brought home cinnamon sticks yesterday, so I am off to make a Toddy for breakfast !!!!!! NO I DON'T HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM CHEESE !!!! :-) thanks for another great vid !!!
Joe P hahah!! Make me one too
I like my drinks neat. As for my drinks I like whiskey, bourbon, rum and beer. Also Jerry Thomas's book is still being read to this day by bartenders. Its also required if you want to be bartender you have to read it.
The video was a little silly, but it was right on. Face it, who wants to drink rotgut whiskey straight? Cocktails were made from whatever was available to mix with the hard stuff. Fruit juice, milk, water, anything they had.
In the aftermath of the gunfight behind the OK Corral, Wyatt Earp testified that he had tried to make a deal with Ike Clanton. They discussed the details outside behind the saloon, while the bartender was mixing their drinks.
The bartenders were even called mixologists!
The movies would have us believe that every cowboy in the Old West drank straight whiskey, but as this video points out, that just wasn't the way it was.
heyyy awesome videos, just subbed to your channel :)
Thank you Reverend!
Santee, what was that punching cowboy game!?
Not sure! Look up old west games saloon fights and maybe you'll find it.
What movie is that!?
The Tom Baringer, human hair thing is hilarious!!!!!!
Greetings from Ireland. Great episode. Would whiskey served in a dirty glass be considered a mixed drink?
Yes, that sure is! Maybe a High Ball.
Would you walk into the long branch and order a Cosmo?????!!!!!!
Not if you value your life.
Did I here Spicoli on this episode? 🤠
You bet!! Not sure why...but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I believe this channel is tragically undersubscribed.
I do too! Thanks for watching.
Arizona Ghostriders Thank you for your videos.
I’ve never been a cocktail person myself. The only one I can actually enjoy is the “Old Fashioned”.
I wonder if that was around in the Old West.
At least 1882. Maybe older.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thank you.
Beef tea sound delicious for some reason
Check out the book 'Libations of the 18th Century'. LOL.. Some weird stuff. Like Whashington's favorite 'Orange Fool'. LOL. And they think we drink too much today. LOL.. 1700's has us beat.
HA! Thanks.
I noticed that the recipe book features Absinthe Cocktail. Sazerac?
Yep. Absinthe was definitely a popular thing.
A Bat and a Ball will do
Tauties back then? Interesting.
Yeah, I learned something in this one, too.
Buffalo Bill favored what was called a Stone Fence, it was a mix of gin and tonic soda.
Interesting! Thanks.
Hey Santee can you do one on sweet tea please in the old west
Hmmm.....if I can find enough info on it.
Ill prefer a nice stout beer or some good old straight whiskey
Yup!
Im sure if i spent as long a time inbetween the saddlebags id want something other than a warm beer or harsh whiskey too!
Yup
Drinkin
My idea of a drink is about 6oz of Jack Black 3 ice cubes and a Draught, or keep a bottle of Jose Gold in the ice box when you get a beer chug a few pulls from the bottle go watch TV drink the beer and repeat.
Peppered 88 yeah!! Thanks!
MORE COWBELL......
oh, wait, wrong video
MORE WARNER BROS CARTOONS
Ice in my bourbon IS a mixed drink
Dan Richmond yes it is! I also learned a High Ball is alcohol with only 1 mixer. So...yeah!
Arizona Ghostriders And I don't like ice in my bourbon
Right! Why water it down?
