If you’re wanting to learn more about American slavery, there is a somewhat hard-to-find but somber book on the subject titled The Slave Community: Plantation Life in the Antebellum South by John W. Blassingame. It describes the first-hand accounts of enslaved African-Americans, the culture of the era, relationships between slaves and masters, etc. Very hard to read at times, but a profound look into the life of those who had lived through slavery in the Old South.
@@CocktailChemistry Thanks for the reply. Do what you like best. It's your channel and I will watch and love your videos regardless. Would you maybe care to do another video with drinks from that hilarious australian show with the dinosaurs?
Giinger beer and lime is something I've mixed with basically every spirit in the book at this point, because I'm not big on vodka. Gin and bourbon are my go-tos, but tequila and Jameson are also great and tasty choices, not to mention the classic Dark n Stormy, although, sue me, I prefer spiced rum to Gosling's Black. Though basically any rum is tasty
I love this channel and everything on it. You got me into mixing cocktails years ago, and gave me other great resources like Liquid Intelligence. I still use your cocktail calculator to this day. And now you're using this platform for an important message. I have nothing but respect for you.
@@CocktailChemistry I really appreciate the nod to black jazz artists. In this instance, I actually think this particular music choice lends even more to your video. Take Five is alright, but it did tend to jump out from behind you while you're speaking. This one just sets a nice mood and provides a nice underlying tone to the whole video without any distractions. I wont be mad if black artists become the new norm for Cocktail Chemistry ;)
Alright, in Bulgaria we have a very easy cocktail for the brave - Russian hammer: 50/50 Beer and vodka. Usually served and enjoyed in plastic cups on park benches, idk pour it in a mug if you gaf. The cheaper the vodka, the bigger the kick (and hangover)
OMG...It's new years day 2022...I just now clicked your channel for a few good vodka cocktail recipes and your opening just BLEW ME AWAY !!!! I have goose bumps right now at the humanity you just exhibited. That Floyd video is virtually unwatchable in it's cruelty. Thank you for caring and of course, we all know the outcome by now. Cheers to you! Now onto continuing with your video...
my go-to for vodka cocktail, a Greyhound: 2 oz. of vodka, 5 oz. or 1 freshly squeezed grapefruit (I prefer fresh, since it's more rewarding for me, personally), then pour both the vodka and grapefruit juice in a Collins glass full of ice cubes, stir (or swirl if you've misplaced your stwizzel-stick [bonus points if you get the reference]), and rim the grass with a lemon and/or lime wedge, and squeeze and drop the wedge(s) in the glass. Simple, the ice cuts the sour of the grapefruit, the lemon/lime rim adds some tanginess that I like, and the vodka is practically unnoticeable. It's great for day-drinking or just to relax with on a hot day
I appreciate your introduction. ✊🏾 I have seen a bunch of your other videos and knew I liked you/your channel. Thank you for the great content as well.
My take on the whole thing is Yes, it is a tragedy, and yes, things need to change, and yes, I totally support and agree with the protestors. With the questions brought about by this avoidable and abhorrent tragedy, I would like to add a few more. How did it help ANY cause to hit my car with rocks and bricks while keeping me from getting to my job at the hospital? How did it help to loot stores, in my case some 20 miles away from the incident, and then vandalize them before setting them on fire? How did it contribute anything to anything by keeping an ambulance from getting to a standing victim in the middle of the "protest" (riot by any other standard)? and once it arrived, throwing rocks and bricks at the EMTs and then trying to stop them from leaving after the victim was in. As I said, I am in complete support of the protesters, but will not support the thugs, looters, handles and arsonists.
Wow! I came for drinks ideas but I heard a message!! Most people don’t speak on these injustices & I appreciate your words! Loveeeee ❤️❤️ new sub for sure!!
Here is the vodka cocktail we make in Russia: Pour 30 ml or 1 oz of your vodka into the shot glass and that's it! Here is your *Stopka* - classic Russian drink
I once created a pretty nice cocktail on accident. Ill call it Czar Blood. You take some Blue Curaçao, some Vodka and some Soda. Put in some Limejuice and a Lime as garnish.
That last strawberry drink looks amazing! Do you have any recommendations on some other good drinks to take advantage of the summer fruit we're looking forward to? I bought some peaches the other day that were so ripe I could smell them through my mask, and there have been some great looking raspberries as well. Sorry for the novel, I just get really excited about summer produce 😅
Doesn't have to be the end of this series. I'm sure you can find other cocktails that only take one spirit to make. Brandy, Cachaca and Amaretto are 3 spirits I'm sure we can find 5 nice cocktails with.
In response to the beginning of the video. It does happen off camera thousands of times a week. Their attitude the last 2 weeks being "sorry we got caught"
In response to the message before the video: things really do feel different this time around. We've been seeing videos/hearing stories of cops killing innocent people of colour for years now, but George Floyd was the breaking point. I live in a small city in Northern Ontario, Canada, and there have been BLM protests/marches here since this happened. Canada also has its own dark history when it comes to racism. We're really no better. This time, though, things are really happening. The Defund the Police movement is actually taking off. This feels revolutionary. In response to the video: puns are on point. I really do feel like a Moscow Mule has to be consumed in a copper mug, though. The feeling of it is essential to the experience for me.
Thank you for understanding what's going on. We all have injustices in all of our races however, you can't say that you did not see a murder if you looked at that video and you can't say that you don't know that this has been happening for years. So, I commend you Colin A. for standing up to what you see as reality and understanding that this is something that needs to change and not being one of the people who feel as though no one's talking about them so they feel like the whole movement is wrong. For those simple-minded people, if we can make a change with this and use this as our first step, then ALL injustices that happen to ALL races will stop. In other words, just because the other commenter didn't support what you said, doesn't mean that other people don't know exactly what you mean.
@Wrong Think Since you probably haven't cared about the issue before, BLM has been critical of police whenever they kill an unarmed person. I was aware of the death of both Daniel Shaver and Tony Timpa along with other white victims of police violence through BLM activists and other leftist sources. I can look up Tony Timpa now and find articles from all of the mainstream news sites from back in 2016 as well as updates when the officers were let off. There are approximately 4 times as many white people in the country as there are black people, so more white people being shot by police isn't too surprising, and it definitely is not an argument against BLM or these protests against police violence in general. Floyd being intoxicated and resisting still doesn't excuse what the cops did to him. By the time he was on the ground, he was not resisting and he did not resist for those last 8 minutes and 46 seconds of his life. Even then, resisting arrest is not a crime worthy of a death sentence. The actions of a couple of criminals has little to do with the broader movement against police brutality. Those perpetrators will face justice unlike the killers of Daniel Shaver, Tony Timpa, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and many others. It seems your narrative is the one that is fabricated because you're a contrarian. I hope you will protest when unarmed white people are killed instead of trolling.
@@EdwardM104 Wow, I have never seen a more perfect response, couldn't have said it better! Never understood the "cops kill (insert group here) too" argument. Regardless of who you are, seeing someone meant to 'serve and protect' killing unarmed, non-violent citizens should seem like a bad thing if you value human life at all. Despite the awful circumstances that have led to the current events happening all over North America, it is encouraging to see positive changes and solutions being discussed regarding law enforcement issues in both the US and Canada.
Also @Colin Canada represent! I have to agree that we have our share of problems with racism and law enforcement in Canada too, yet many Canadians like to pretend that we don't. I think the recent deaths involving the police (Chantel Moore and Regis Korchinski-Paquet), along with the death of George Floyd, have sparked important conversations and a movement for change here too. It's incredibly encouraging to see people in large cities all the way to small towns calling for action! It certainly feels like real change will come of this.
Preach! So happy to see people using their voice to push a conversation a lot of people don't what to have. It's also great that the racists are out of the Woodworks on this one. Makes it easier to cut them out of your life ;)
I’m a cop, I’ve been having lots of uncomfortable conversations with people in my city, as well as friends. Surprisingly I haven’t had to have uncomfortable conversations with other cops. Every single cop I’ve talked to agree that George Floyd was murdered by that cop. I understand the protests, and 100% support them, even as I’m standing with a line of cops across from the protesters. Luckily we have had no riots here. I even understand defunding if that money goes to alleviating things police aren’t equipped to handle, but expected to handle anyways. The only thing that hurts is the hate towards all cops. People generalizing the police to be all bad is the same generalizations our idiot president is making about the protesters. Most cops are good. Personally, I only ever wanted to help people. It’s been the only job besides my time in the military that I’ve ever been fulfilled and felt like what I was doing was making a positive impact. Everything I do is in an effort to help others. Even giving tickets is in an effort to help others. I know I’m ruining a day, but I’m always hopeful that that person will think of that ticket and reconsider their driving habit in the future. I love what I do and want to do it until I physically can’t anymore because I want to keep helping people.
I understand what you are saying, and empathize with your position. I'm not American and don't live in the USA, so surely I don't appreciate entirely the complexity of the situation. But I want to share what happened in Italy, years ago, in a somewhat similar situation: people hated all cops, and considered every one of "them" equally responsible. Then, a portion of the police forces started to voice their concerns, support explicitly the needed changes, contrast and isolate those in the police forces that were really responsible for the ingrained violence. It helped tell people apart, appease the general public with the police and drive, from within the police, some of the needed improvements. That said, a virtual hug to you, to you family and to your peers: its tough to be in your position, and you deserve the hugh just for sharing your thoughts.
David C ....Good for you! I am a retired teacher and realize, you often deal with the worst behaviors possible and can lose perspective over time unless you work to gain new insights. The military trend to weaponize has also visually lent to the bias! Your thoughtful response is refreshing! Good Luck with the coming reforms.
If ever you feel the need for a Lemon Drop, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it yourself... there's a reason it's consistently on the Top 10 Most Hated Cocktails list (compiled by asking bartenders).
I love your videos but I'm trying to drink less alcohol. Can you do a series on turning classic cocktails like the Old-Fashioned (my favorite) into mocktails? I thought of this while watching you make the Straw-vod-berry-ka and I think that one in particular would translate to a non-alcoholic version particularly well.
Any particular reason you aren't doing five easy brandy cocktails? Nothing can beat a wonderful Pisco Sour or a Calvados Sidecar during the summer heat here in Texas!
Appreciate the words. My wife has found a variation (I guess) of the Lemon Drop with Amaretto instead of a simple syrup and this became our fav simple vodka cocktail. We lost its name though.

Five Actually Good Cocktails Made With Liquors With Bad Reputations.
Like Fireball or Jäger.
Always the Jägerita, fantastisc way of using that bottle of Jägermeister in the freezer.
I love me some fireball. Either straight, mixed with monster mixxd punch or as a fireball milkshake.
Blergh, Jäger. Bad reputation, but well earned.
If you enjoy Nick doing cocktails you can actually check out Leandro from educatedbarfly. He did some Jäger drinks
Add Malort to that list!

Appreciate the words. My wife has found a variation (I guess) of the Lemon Drop with Amaretto instead of a simple syrup and this became our fav simple vodka cocktail. We lost its name though.
