      Gotta say... that drunken Thai Iced Coffee looks pretty delicious... it's fairly adjacent to a White Russian or White Cuban, but with a Thai spin.

    Hey Greg, my name is LV. I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your work and your channel. The first video of yours that I stumbled on was the Monster Hunter one you did a few months back, and I found myself so intrigued. I was always the "drinks" guys at parties with friends; so I started making some of your recipes for those friends and at home for my girlfriend. She loved them and realized how much fun I was having. A few months back I got certified for Mixology and I have been loving every moment of learning new drinks and serving them up for patrons and loved ones alike. Thanks for inspiring me so much over these past few months. 😊

    Not ten minutes before starting this episode, on a whim I mixed up a shot of Mr. Black and absinthe. My initial thought was that I wanted to enjoy some Mr. Black, but I wanted to spice it up, and I was going to try it with some orange liqueur, but then I saw my absinthe and had a revelation.
    The result was that I have never tasted a more licorice beverage in my life. I think that there's something to be found in the mixture. Of all the licorice-like liqueurs out there, I don't know that absinthe is the best to do this with, but there is definitely something to be found in the combination.

    I discovered the Margarita Negra some years ago and its a personal favourite. It was taught to me as a 'South of the Border' and used Kahlua for the coffee element. I agree that the Tequila can get lost though. I tried Reposado but I missed the fresh peppery-ness of blanco. Solution: dial up the Tequila to 2.5 shots (or even 3 if its not a school night!)

    Thanks for the cardamom tip.
    As somebody who's spent his share of time contemplating the state of the world, seated at the iced coffee place on the sidewalk near the Grand President Hotel on Soi 11 I can tell you the the best way to stir your coffee is to jam the straw to the bottom of the drink, plug the top, lift it, then release your thumb. It's slow but you're in Bangkok and it's that time of day when we drink coffee so you've got the time to do this right.

    Depending on the coffee and how it's been roasted you'll get the more floral/green/fruity flavor notes so that's why it's amazing when you get those notes and add citrus from lemon/lime/orange.

    Awesome videos! These coffee cocktails always remind me of a coffee drink called "Barraquito", even though it´s a hot drink. It´s a really simple drink from Tenerife. I bet you could give it a nice twist and make it even better!

    We have a shop in Warsaw that sells coffee with different aromas and they have orange one. It's really nice, but I also like the coconut one very much. Here in Lyon I discovered coffe in form of a chocolate tablet, without chocolate in it. It's like coffee you can bite.

    I really like using the Fire Syrup from the David Martinez with the Margarita Negra instead of the Agave

    I was very skeptical that coffee and lime juice could work together. However, I made a Margarita Negra and it was good. At first, I didn't notice the coffee, but eventually I did start tasting it after the tart intensity of the lime faded. Maybe that's the evolution Greg's always talking about. The coffee and lime didn't clash. I used Jameson's Cold Brew, since that was the only good coffee liquor I had on hand. I've ordered some Mr. Black, so I'll compare the result once it arrives.

    Love your videos Greg, I will definitely try the margarita, as a separate note, have you ever tried Rompope? This is a Mexican sweet liquor similar to eggnog, but I’ll like to see what you can come up with it, I know it blends good with coffee too. Also, I love how you express yourself about tequila.

    Tried the Pina colada at home. It was good. Did you know you can substitute ice for ice cream and make a smoothie.

    May I recommend a Carajillo? You’ll need Licor 43.
    I promise you’ll really enjoy it. 🖤

    Iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk (called "white coffee") is very popular in Vietnam

    Tajin also makes the best grilled corn.
    take a quality mayo and maybe splash some lime juice in it
    coat shucked corn with mayo
    coat mayo with Tajin
    blacken it on your grill, try not to knock off the mayo/Tajin caramel crust, you only need to black it nicely on two sides to get the mayo black/caramel-y
    try to wait for it to stop sizzling before eating - the mayo coating not only seals in the juices it also fries the kernel skins so they're extra tender - you know it's working when you hear the corn sizzling but it's still nice and juicy

    I made the "Thai Coffee cocktail" in hopes it might be a rare drink both my wife and I could enjoy (our taste preferences tend to be at odds). I tried finding Mekhong, but for the life of me, could not... so I substituted some spiced rum. It was great! And a success in the fact it was something we could both enjoy.
    Thanks for creating that masterpiece!

    Is there a coffee or coffee liquor mixed drink that includes an egg white? I enjoy the texture that the egg white adds and would love to try it with coffee.

    For those of us who still need sweetened coffee liqueurs, I definitely recommend Tia Maria. Not as syrupy as Kahlua, tastes more like sweet black coffee
