Thanks for all the links. Was wondering do you have a list of books to look out for to get into this ?
you drink french well, so we forgive you!
I heard that the Americano coffee got it's name from the way in which Americans during the war imitated a fresh brew coffee with their rations. Using espresso powder which took up less space, and using boiling water, supposedly it made a rough (bad) approximation of a fresh brew, and so that method stuck and Americano got its name as a result.
I guess it's a happy coincidence for Italians that Americano is bitter, and so Amaro is quite accurate as it turns out.
Kir Royale
1 oz (30 ml) crème de cassis
6 oz (180 ml) champagne
Ingredients Do Matter
wait... theres another a in arnge?
"The bamboo cocktail was created, and it kinda took off"
As bamboo typically does.
Me: Wow. I'm really inspired to make some cocktails.
Me: *goes into kitchen*
Me: *pours two fingers of whisky*
Me: Perfection
Literally just did this xD
@sine moderamine Don't wanna be that guy but... you spelt scotch wrong
@@ryandryer3422 that Natasha Hollow is also using whisky instead of Whiskey, quite a shame. But I can only imagine it is because of the current times we are in.
Hahaha
Whenever I watch this channel I make like one or two cocktails before getting lazy and just going back to drinking neat bourbon
Hey Greg, you're looking a little run-down with all this. Just wanted to let you know that we appreciate you and what you're doing. I know it's tough to keep cheerful in these fairly wild and scary times, but your work is appreciated and brings a little light and fun into our lives. Keep strong, Greg, and know that you're valued by your viewers buddy. :)
Amen, brother
I don't think it's so much run down as this was the last episode of the week and he films them back to back. He's always at least SLIGHTLY lit by the last episode. :-)
dude looks like he slept on the floor of a fedex kinkos.
Hear hear!
He's actually a bartender that got kidnapped by some men that drive trucks with the rebel flag flying in the back, and they've been forcing him to make them cocktails at gunpoint while they videotape it.
You should make a shirt that says ahrange on it.
I’d buy that, everyone in Pittsburgh would buy that.
Seconded!
Pin this
Better would be a drawing of an orange with the quote “Ceci n'est pas une ahrange.” 🤣🍊🤣
Perhaps it's a nice, fancy graphic of an orange, the skin being peeled off gracefully to form a ribbon on which "ahrange" is printed in a classy typeface
Pro Brewer Here:
Session - Low ABV Beer, generally used as a modifier ex: Session IPA
Saison - literally "Season" in French, a specific type of Farmhouse Ale. Historically produced for farmhand workers during the working "season".
Farmhouse - A broader category of ales produced in a more rustic style and/or with a greater percentage of ingredients available to Old-World farmers (spelt & wheat amongst others), covering a wide array of light-dark, and clean-funky (or even sour) examples.
Dog here: woof woof *pant pant pant* grrrrr
@@imcharming4808 dog whistle here:
Deer her. * deer noise*
Then you get that one brewery that has a "Session IPA" that's 8% and you question everything
Pro Farter Here:
BRAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP!
Question of the Day: How many drinks does it take for Greg to get his accent back?
Depends on how thick do you want the accent to be
Has his accent changed?
@@danieldeburgh8437 I mean, he lost his ahrange
9:55 I appreciate the voice chosen for the Queen Elizabeth the First impression, lol.
Ive been getting a lot of ads for nonalcoholic “spirits” like seedlip curious elixir and ritual. I’d be curious to see you experiment with these to make mocktails that arent just sad mixes of fruit juice.
Elixir and ritual are disgusting. Dont do it
@@braines9 Ah, good to know.
I find Seedlip super gross... like seriously, it tasted like I had sipped bile. Not pleasant. I've not tried them in a drink yet - I'm afraid to.
@@stacyf3235 a friend raves about it, I believe she had it in a (modified) mojito but I might be wrong
Hey man, love your videos. I am a theatre history guy. Adonis was not the "first musical." We generally refer to a show called The Black Crook from 1866 as the first proto-musical. However, Adonis was definitely part of the long tradition of burlesque that was a major antecedent to the American musical as we know of it now.
That has to be the most egregious spillage I’ve seen on this show yet. Those low abv cocktails must add up
That cocktail with creme de cassis was just... jesus
Well the easiest way to make a low ABV cocktail is to spill all the A on the counter.
@@lewisjones996 rollsafe
As a nondrinker who loves your content and presentation I'm now excitedly looking forward to somebody who can actually come up with a good mocktail.
Cosigned. Would be super-interested in null-proof (or near null proof) cocktails...
If youre in the UK, the restaurant chain of The Ivy has a peach & elderflower ice tea which is stellar!
Have you tried a virgin piña colada? I've tried recreating it myself but it never turns out as good as the ones I've had at Las Iguanas. It's a restaurant chain, apparently. I mostly just know it as the Latin restaurant in Meadowhall. (A mall in Sheffield. UK.)
If it wasn't for Five Guys being in the same food court and Yo Sushi down the hall from it, I'd probably eat there more often just to have more of those virgin piña coladas.
@@Eric-sy1xu I've heard good things about The Ivy. Never even seen one before though.
@@DanteTorn it's really good! I go there every now & then for celebratory things (it's pretty expensive for something casual), but when i do it's great
On the subject of the Kir royale. I've made those several times before and I've never used more than 1/2oz of cassis cut that back and you might like the results better! Great episode like always Greg!
I have to agree. I have never seen such a dark Kir Royal. I'm used to just a little Cassis in the bottom of the glass and then you fill up with sparkeling wine. Probably at least a 1:16 ratio. I also don't think Cava was the right sparkeling wine. Cava generally seem to have a more rich fruit notes to it than the other sparkeling wines and I think you need to have some more non-fruity notes to balance off the cassis.
Yeah, a Creme de Cassis is super sweet and a little goes a looooong way lol
Yes, the recipe I used called for 1cl cassis and 9cl champagne and that turned out good.
The Americano (espresso drink) is named the Americano because American soldiers in WW2 didn't like how strong the French's coffee was, so the French watered the espresso down with hot water so it was more palatable for Americans. Fun facts you learn as a barista.
I could have sworn it was Italian, French don't drink alot of espresso, but either way the story is apocryphal and yeah that's the general gist of it
I just dont understand why you would water down espresso with water. I'm german and not in the slightest connected to coffee, but when you have the choice between a tasty strong well made espresso and a glass of the same but watered down to extinction, why would you do it. Makes me sick
This, though I heard it was the Italians, not the French.
@@Caffeine.And.Carvings you have it the wrong way round. The world over, people drink coffee, but no other culture takes theirs as strong as Italian espresso. Its not a perfect example, but I'd liken it to earing something like Serrano peppers all your life, then one day in a different cultural region someone plops a Habanero in front of you and calls you a sissy if you can't enjoy something so wildly different. Probably a better example would be a German such as yourself growing up in what is generally a beer-centric culture, taking a trip to Ireland and being made fun of for not enjoying whiskey, which is essentially the same thing with less water. It's not that Americans have bad taste (for once), it's that they have a very different coffee culture to the Italians. The same kind of culture shock would happen with Turks, or Ethiopians, or Vietnamese.
TL;DR I love both and they are two very different drinks for very different situations
@@diarmuidmacmurchadha8585 Well said!
There is actually honey in Benedictine, its not a phantom honey taste.
I was gonna say, when I sipped straight Benedictine for the first time, the primary note I got was honey.
The idea of showing the drink that you already made is amazing...other channels just show the link..thank you for that
A session or, "sesh" over here in the uk typically involves drinking a lot and going on for multiple days
Sounds like a "bender" here
L JC haha we use that one aswell
We in Canada use that for another substance.
Not the origin of the session beer which is what he's referring to. Pretty sure it meant a beer you could drink during given "session"/breaks before going back to work.
Can confirm what Edward says, as a fellow Brit. Most people I know would refer to it as a binge though.
His face in the thumbnail looks like he just dropped another glass on his toe and is trying to hide the pain he's in
This channel made me start drink better, not more. Thank you sir. Greetings from Mexico.
i've found myself saying 'ahrange' after watching a lot of these. please take it back, i don't want it
Join the subtle Jersey accent. Just wait until you start calling them Flahrida ahranges
Aahranges from Flaahrida have histaahrically been haahrrible
@@MisadelphiaSAR how dare you make me read this with my own eyes
William Wear how dare he make me read this out loud
Mimicry is the sinceresy form of flattery?
I feel you brother I’ve been drinking wayyyy more chocolate milk than usual! I can’t drink yet but I still like the vids don’t kick me out
I neither drink, nor am of drinking age in the U.S., but still enjoy putting your videos on whenever I'm eating or relaxing. While I of course won't be making the drinks, I still find the whole art and history very interesting. And you always make it entertaining. Keep it up and hope your getting along well in these difficult times. Cheers!
A saison beer is a farmhouse ale usually with wild local yeast. A session beer ( normally ipa) are low abv beers. You also have raddlers and shandy beers which have beer mixed with some fruit or juice
An episode of low proof drinks, ah the "these will sneak up on you" drinks.
I Cracked at “oh there’s a bug in it” then “the backstroke” pops up. I’m having trouble watching the rest of the video. Laughing too hard.
I remember reading somewhere that the Americano was called that, because an Italian immigrant found that his American workers couldn't handle the bitterness of straight espresso, so he watered it down for them.
WWII made the Americano and the chocolate chip cookie popular and made Americans stop eating mutton. It was a huge impact on how we eat and drink.
I don’t drink, but I always love to learn about the drinks you make. Also you make the show really fun and entertaining to watch. 🤙🏼
The most magical drink I’ve ever had was when I was 19 and abroad. In a pub someone made me a snakebite with Guinness and cider and a shot of kassis down the middle. It took me years to figure out what that sweet sweet shot was.
My low proof standby cocktail is the Shandy. Lots of ways to make it, but my personal favorite is to build it in a pint glass over lots of ice (it's a summer day drink), with a full quarter lemon squeezed and dropped right into the glass, half lager beer, and half 7up (sub in club soda, ginger ale, or whatever effervescent beverage you see fit). Refreshing, delicious, and the sort of think you can drink while minimizing your BAC.
I found this channel only a few days ago and it has quickly become my favorite channel to watch
Knock, knock!
Who’s there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn’t say ”arnsh”?
Kir Royale's are amazing. Just get a good French crème de cassis that has a tartness next to it, and use a dry champagne/prosecco/sparkling wine that you like on its own. Not a too sweet wine. The creme the cassis then really adds a nice tart black currant flavor to it without overpowering the wine, and it should not be overly sweet. Don't give up on it, you should really try it once again with better picked ingredients :)
Your backstroke joke about the bug in the drink, that is one of my family's favorite classic jokes! I knew you were a cool guy.
I love sherry (particularly the drier styles like the fino you used in this episode), but I've never thought about using it as an ingredient in a cocktail. I normally just have it ice-cold and neat with some olives on the side. But these drinks sound delicious. Thanks for showing us some awesome new uses for sherry! Can't wait to try them!
the Kirs i use to drink are 1 part creme de cassis 9 or 8 parts chardonnnay. it really balance the sweetness of de Cassis and brings its natural tartness
I love your channel and your drinks have made my parties that much better
I've never seen such a strong Kir!! I'm used to 4 oz to 0.5 oz Cassis (8:1) versus your 4:1
Even a 1:8 ratio is pretty high by most versions, a lot of recipes go for around 1:12 to 1:16. So, yeah, Greg, your drink was _heavy_ on the cassis.
Kalimotxo is said like kali mo cho :)
21:10 we call that a bamboo in Slovenia :D
however it's not really considered a cocktail, more of an "I'm a student and this is the cheapest thing I can drink I guess"
One Of The Best Shows On The topic of Cocktails and your sense of humour is great
Your channel really opened me up to having fun making drinks and because of that I watch several other cocktail channels, but every time I watch one of yours I remember why I got into it! Thank you!
Thanks for continuing to create content for the last few months. As an out-of-work bartender, being able to watch your videos and learn about and explore new cocktails has given my life a little bit of normalcy through these difficult times. Never stop saying ahrange.
Someone needs to make a variation of the Bamboo... that looks like the Bamboo but has a different taste or much higher proof.
I'd call it the Bamboozled.
I'll see myself out.
Perhaps split the Sherry with a Brandy de Jerez
Love the living history, thank you for all the time you put into each of these!
Can confirm a "seddion" or "sessionable" beer is one that is relatively low on alcohol (but not always) and also not necessarily strong on hoppy/bitterness. Basically something that is nice and refreshing and easy to drink a lot of.
The level of concentration while shaking! Intense! LOVE IT!
Love greg, love the show, love the casual promotion of day drinking.
I love how he mentioned not watching all of his videos. Like I’m sorry Greg your videos keep my life running, I’ve watched almost all of them
Keep up the good work. Enjoy hearing the history behind the cocktails.
Love the intro. Could just listen to that over and over. Classy
These are perfect for my lazy Sunday Afternoons. Thanks Greg.
The red wine and coca cola is pronounced like "Kali mocho" I believe! It's something I first had in a tapas bar in Oxford and I can't recommend it enough!
Absolutely love the closeup shots in these videos. Keep them coming!
Thanks for making daydrinking easier my friend!
I haven't drank much since high school, so most of the cocktails on this show would flatten me. I would love some low ABV drinks.
Hey Greg! Never really write comments and while not an avid drinker - I thought to tell you that I absolutely love your content; the informative, the random, the chaotic excerpts here and there, the EDITING, all of it (ESPECIALLY THE “NERDY/GEEKY” Episodes). I’ve been a fan of your work for a while now, so I gotta say: hang in there buddy! We’re all with you!
This is quite amazing watching a professional at work! Good Job 👍
Best How To Drink cold open ever!
Hey Greg! Just in case you weren't aware,, the 'pétillant' in Kir Pétillant just means sparkling. So there's nothing pejorative about the adjective. Cheers! :)
For the record: I love the way you say orange!
An awesome topic! I would love to watch you make more low proof cocktails. I guess I'm gonna get a bottle of sherry for tonight.
I'm going to learn to take audio clips from videos just to get "This is a dry ass lime" to play any time I want 😂😂😂😂
I love these. I can't do heavy stuff as a type one diabetic and try to drink savory stuff that's less sweet often to. Thanks for making this. You're not alone my man ,we are all with you in spirit day drinking to pass the Covid lol.
I LOVE the idea of an entire episode about grasshopper and some twist on it!
I love this show it's nice to learn about cocktails
I have taken to including your videos with my pandemic Zoom cocktail hours. Thanks and cheers!
i lie in eager, eager wait of a mocktail ep
Just get in the cryopod at this point
another great video. I'm definitely going to try a couple of these drinks. Keep up the good work
I've seen/done Adonis cocktails with either fino or amontillado and both are perfect for different reasons
Definitely going to try a few of these
There are a lot of variabiiills, Greg, especially with vermouth.
Lovely work as always! Love to the whole family, it’s a crazy time... x
Day drinking? Why... it's the perfect episode! That's my favorite hobby!
Beautiful watch as always
Definitely needed this video haha
Made the Queen Elizabeth, but using Dolin dry vermouth instead. Everybody who tried it loved it, including myself. Fantastic. Definitely like a French Daquiri.
Thanks for this.
Outside of cocktails, may go to low ABV would probably be bitters/sherry and mixers/teas.
Apple juice and angostura's adds so much.
If you're interested in kalimotxo, take a look at tinto de verano. I know it from Madrid. There are some fancy variations with red wine, lemon soft drinks, licor 43 and some spices even. Perfect summer drinks.
we love you man!!
Greg, I really appreciate the content as I find the minor shenanigans that happens on the show humorous. While watching this channel I’ve noticed my collection of spirits has grown substantially and last night I ended up ordering the same mixology kit you have for the show along with some recipe books. Watching your content has helped me through a cancelled wedding along with an end to a 5 year relationship, maybe one day you’ll get a cocktail that I come up with that actually tastes like something haha keep up the great show man
Absolutely *adult word* love your videos dude keep up the good work.😁👍
Are you trying to insinuate I'm gonna day drink this summer? You are correct sir.
I agree on the Kir Royal... first time I had one was the last. One of the more popular low AVB drinks here in Germany is the Wald Fee, Waldmeister Syrup, Sekt (or Prosecco) and Lemon Ice Sorbet. I love them in the summer.
A Kir Royale just sounds like a champagne Ribena drink, which I am all about I love black currant. Can't wait to try and make it
1:03 just starting out this thing, love the vibes already!!
This is one of the best videos I seen. My dude you're awesome! :-D
I love your videos! I first heard of this channel because Philip Defranco kept mentioning this channels' videos in his Today in Awesome segment for his shows.
Great video Greg
Thanks for this Greg, I was actually thinking of putting some low abv cocktail to put in my home drinks menu, I think they make a good drink before or during a meal.
I'd like to mention also the Kitty Highball, which is a concoction of lime ginger and red wine, shaken and served over ice. Quite refreshing low abv and good way of using wine leftovers.
I haven't had a drink in 3 years but I work in a bar and love these videos
I feel you with the ahrange bit.
Cranberry Whiskey Sour is probably my favorite so far.
Cali-mocho! From the Basque country! Love that stuff
Love Sherry Wine!
While I was perfecting my Martini I also became very fond of drinking white Vermouth w/ Regans #6 and a lemon twist. That's my low-proof go-to. Noilly-Prat Original Dry preferred, but I found a nice Spanish (rather sweet) Vermouth that I like... as long as not in a Martini.
I friggin love low proof cocktails, I enjoy the FLAVOR of a cocktail, and I like a few different ones. Low proof drinks let me indulge without getting utterly shit faced.
"that's a dry ass lime"
"that's a JUICY peel!"
This episode was wonderful! One note: my wife and I had Kir in southern France. Ingredients matter here... 1) use a Bourgogne Aligoté, it has a bit of a dryness and herbal quality which balances with 2) the Creme de Cassis... we use no more than 1 TBS or to taste, and use a good cassis like Mathilde
love you greg keep it up
Damn, this is nice. Looking forward to that 0-ABV episode!
I love this guy, good vibes all around! “So lonely” What an ending haha. Killer hair style this episode too, because who even gives..
Maybe you should try the Kir Royal again with a better crème de cassis and actual champagne which in my experience is pretty different from cava, maybe you still won't like it but it's worth a try
Kir Royal with cava = COMMUNISM
