I do got a drink you might enjoy, don't know if it has a name or not other than 2 whiskey+ soda, still working on the ratios Ole Smokey Tennessee Salted Carmel Whiskey Bird Dog Apple Flavored Whiskey And a can of A&W Cream Soda Tasted just like Carmel Apples, with little to no whiskey taste. Very sugary though, and meant to be a kind of fall drink Might be better with apple cider. It's not a TikTok thing, just did it myself liking all 3 separately and wanting to see A + B + C.
Here's a drink suggestion: From 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These' - Wine, lemon (cut in quarters) and honey diluted in hot water. It's normally meant to combat colds.
The one that got me was just a bit later 5:46 Greg: Im not gonna drink this cause it's full of cigar ash, and that seems actually unhealthy Tasting notes: In California anyway
Egg start to turn solid at 158 degrees while a drip coffee maker will be a minimum of 180 degrees to about 200. But here is the thing that is with water. It is ALOT harder to heat up milk then water and the milk is being poured onto cold eggs. The hot plate of the coffee maker is 160-185 so you would have to keep it on for a long time before you could scramble the eggs.
"And anything for you, Mr. Bond?" "6 measures of gin, a half measure of dry vermouth and olive brine, mixed with 8 measures of hot water and powdered gelatin, pour it all in to a muffin tin over half an olive and allow it to set in the fridge for 4 hours." "Very good, sir." My favorite scene from all of the movies, a true classic.

TikTok Recipes for drinks are both a blessing and a curse. In one, you can get a pro bartender for a gin and elderflower sour(fantastic btw), and others you'll get these monstrosities.
@Andrew Bird 2 oz. Gin of choice, 0.5 oz simple, 3/4 oz lemon juice, 0.5 oz elderflower liquer, 2-3 dashes orange bitters, add egg white and dry shake, garnish with torched sage

I'll have you know that I'm a decade tenured paramedic, nothing at all gets to me. NOTHING. But eating lunch while watching the eggnog part genuinely made my stomach turn. I'm angry on that coffee maker's behalf too.
I workshopped a bunch of cocktail Jell-O shots for my girlfriend’s birthday and was genuinely very happy with the results. It took some figuring out and I think there’s more that could be done, but the concept of a cocktail Jell-O shot definitely has merit. I made old fashioned, margarita, whiskey sour, and mai tai recipes, but I had some ideas for more that I haven’t gotten around to trying yet.
I recently got sober but still watch the videos because I love them. Can you keep doing videos like this? It's a great motivator for staying on the wagon.
Check out Morgan Eckroth, she focuses on coffee beverages but does a lot of the same kind of mixology content. I've seen comments on some of her videos from sober viewers and former bartenders who love being able to engage in that kind of thought process without alcohol.
That eggnog managed to trawl up an ancient college-era idea of mine. Nitro Coffee: replace the water in a coffee pot with energy drink. Luckily, we never did it. Our already weakened immune systems would have probably crumpled under the sheer assault of taurine and caffine, just like the sugary mess would have clogged up that poor sacrificial coffee machine faster than my grandparents mineral-heavy tap water.
I've had my $10 maker for over 5 years now. It's lasted far longer than the garbage my roommate payed over $200 for. In today's global market, you don't always get what you pay for. You're very likely to get scammed by a well known company out to make easy money.
You're going to have to work _very_ hard to flush the lines entirely of milk, and you absolutely need to remove every speck of milk from those lines or else you're growing mold inside your coffee maker. It is not worth the effort _or_ the risk.
@@drengr2759 I got my Mr. Coffee from a former roommate like 10 years ago. That thing has survived four residential moves, moldy forgotten grounds, and using far too fine-ground coffee. A true trooper.
I appreciate the "Olives Eaten" counter, I'm the same way when I work with olives. It seems like these "cursed cocktails" were mostly cursed in method more than result... Although the results were still pretty cursed. We salute the sacrifice of one brave coffee maker, I'm honestly surprised that it didn't just make scrambled eggs and it came out appreciably nog-like.
That first drink was the perfect trifecta. A waste of bourbon, a waste of a cigar, and a waste of a book. Only way you could've hurt me more is to drown my cat in it.
Also, from experience, white wine and eggnog is a foul concoction that will be served in a bar in hell - but not the "cool" hell bar that rock singers go to.

Yes Mountain Dew was originally made for chasing/mixing with moonshine (nicknamed mountain dew), but the company that made it was bought out and the recipe was immediately changed
Also worth mentioning, in my experience, Mtn Dew absolutely obliterates the alcohol hit of basically every base spirit I tried it with, and just left the taste of Green and whatever flavour notes the spirit had. Also helped me prove to others that Tito’s is the least neutral vodka out there and tastes more like a rejected gin than anything else, and that I wasn’t just tripping about the silly dog liquid.
I have no clue if you've ever played Star Wars Galaxies from way back in 2003 but they have a bunch of drink/food items you can buff your characters with I think you'd have a fun time going through all the drinks they have on there some are really neat! Love watching your videos!
The only "trendy" thing I've ever made was blood orange mimosa jello shots, you make the jello with a juiced blood orange, sugar, bitters and champagne, and then put the jello back in the orange peel, let it set, and cut into wedges. I'll be damned if it wasn't great. But it also was long enough ago that it predated vine, let alone tiktok.
Ok Greg, here's an actually good "oldest old fashioned" recipe I came up with watching your show. Hope you like it. I made a 2:1 simple with old school sugar cones, it looks like molasses. Angostura bitters, I used Lairds bottled in bold 100 proof apple brandy and an orange peel. Build it like you would a normal old fashioned and please enjoy. Thanks for all the content that you make.
Greg, I finally did it. I signed up to support your show. It's not a lot like I wish I could give, I'm sorry for that. However, i wanted to give something because this show has given me so much. I discovered this show during the pandemic and I fell in love with mixology. Please keep being YOU. The songs, your mistakes, everything is unique and what makes this show stand out from those trying to be too refined. (In every interest.) From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
You should try your hand at carbonation! There are a lotta sodastream-adjacent products but the drinkmate is actually meant to carbonate non-water liquids, like juice, or milk, or canned tuna brine
Oh my god, so many quotable moments here. I felt bad about Greg's suffering, but also like...Meredith thinking too normally still and telling him he WILL need water to make the coffee...and then...: ".....she put milk in the BACK??.....ohhh............."
I am so tempted to send the book syrup clip to my mom (who's a librarian at a middle school) saying that I found a use for the old ass books with no value
@@Magniflorious Eh, they really are though. Long after our culture, civilization and even our species is dead and gone, the written word can remain and inform future people about us.
@@voicetest6019 and i think (considering how much human lore was lost during the burning of the library of alexandria) we gotta protect what pages with words still exist. Shit, even digital media isn’t permanent. So whatever can be saved, no matter how seemingly trivial, should be saved.
@@thejason755 I think of the clay tablets detailing monotonous letters and invoices we have from the late bronze age, or the graffiti in Pompei, and the insights into those cultures that we have obtained from them.
I almost had a full-on physical reaction to watching the original video for the coffee maker eggnog. Frankly shocked that it turned out okay. On another note, if you're looking for another anime/manga to make another anime cocktails episode for, I'd throw my vote in for "Berserk." I'd go with the '97 series if you want quality, the 2016 anime if you want something lower-quality to poke a little fun at, or the 2012 movies if you want something a little in-between. In any case, it's a great series if you want to try and make gruffer-tasting cocktails: the setting is very medieval/middle-ages, so it's probably a good place for herbal liqueurs, mulled wines, etc. Perfect series to also talk about shonen vs seinen if that's up the series' alley.
Eggnog? No, that's an 20-Something Englishman in a Cat-Eared Hoodie Saying "Third Croak After Mid-naugh". Of course now you know you have to make the Big Jésus Mordino, so that's on you.
First time I've caught any video minutes after posting. You're doing the right thing, the people (often referred to as "Chat") love content creators' pain. Keep up the cool videos!
I have an original Bartender’s Guide from the first few printings! My great grandma was all about fancy/weird drink mixes and such, and I recently found a ratty old copy of Modern Bartender Guide in a shelf of random, mostly decorative books we got from her after she passed. Printed in 1940! Piece of history.
"Oh no, the books" wasn't anything I expected to say on a How To Drink video. I think the "cursed" is in the way it's made sometimes rather than the final product, LOL, but oof that jello shot. You're a brave soul.
The look on your face at 7:23 as you... I dunno, somehow enthusiastically and also begrudgingly say "Yeah" to putting milk through a coffee machine killed me. I needed to take a moment to collect myself.
About the "pickles are zero calories" thing: legally, any food can be labeled 0 calories if it has 5 or fewer calories per serving. Fun fact: if you make the serving size small enough, even pure sugar can be labeled 0 calories. Several "zero calorie sweeteners" are actually just a sugar that isn't table sugar.
...I've definitely seen people (on the internet) put starbursts in a coffee maker before though I can't for the life of me remember what they where trying to make because my brain stalled out at the starbursts
Jello shots became a thing in the 50s, and the nation being obsessed with making savory Jello salads was a thing in the 60s, I am shocked that these did not exist already.
the thing about the eggnog is more a hygiene issue. Like cooking meat in the toaster tiktoks. Yes it *will* work. But it will also ruin your toaster cause you can't clean it properly afterwards. I figure the same is true for the coffee maker.
Tbh the toaster thing has the additional issue of being a fire hazard with the fat dripping into electric components But yeah this ruins the machine since even if it still otherwise functions it can't be properly cleaned of the stuff you put into it
I don’t know exactly why, but this was the funniest episode ever. I’m watching this in bed next to my sleeping wife and just convulsing in full body silent laughter. Thank you both!
I’ve been watching Andor recently and I thought that as well! There’s also a punch drink they mention and briefly show on screen, Greg could try to make recipes for both
man I just loved the scholarly pickle discussion. "ahhhh but we should use a worse pickle...." It wouldn't have been out of place for you to point with the half pickle like it was a pipe. "No zero. It says zero."
The cigar ash isn't too bad to eat/drink. At least, not worse than smoking the cigar. Pretty salty, drying, and full of nicotine, but definitely edible. Just a little advice from kinktok.
Romeo Y Julieta is definitely not a “dog shit” cigar. It’s long filler tobacco from Nicaragua. You can definitely do much worse. Their Reserva Real Nicaragua (blue band) is one of my favorite cigars.
Yeah but the one they bought was likely an eight dollar dogshit one. They weren't gonna get a Reserva Real to toast and then immediately put out in a drink.
The Romeo Y Julieta is one of my favourites - it's simple, easy approach, and not pretentious. Then again, cigars are like whiskey - the best whiskey is the one you like to drink, the way you like to drink it.
@@Ramonatho the one he used is a nice Nicaraguan stick. Eight dollar is not inexpensive for cigars. It’s about middle of the road. The Reserva Real is usually an $8 stick.
I don't know who told you Romeo y Julieta is a bad cigar, but it's definitely not. Sure, it's not a super high end cigar, but it is a staple middle of the road one. It'd be like calling Jack Daniels horseshit.
I enjoy making jello shots but I always forget I'm supposed to pour it into cups and just end up with a jello bowl I eat with a spoon. Lol. Actually, if you let them set in a tray then cut into squares they act as ice cubes in tiki style mixed drinks or anything fruity. I want butterscotch jello so I can make peanut butter whiskey and butterscotch jello shots
Drink 1: I can sort of see what it's supposed to be doing, because the "old book smell" comes from vanillin that's produced when paper degrades, but yikes. Also it seems like there's not actually enough to make a difference anyway, so just get some bourbon that has vanilla notes from the barrel! Drink 2: I looked up a normal recipe for egg nog and it uses 4 eggs. 12 is utterly baffling and I'm amazed that the hot milk didn't immediately make scrambled eggs as it went through the machine! Drink 3: Why are college kids so into jello shots? There's nothing really cursed about this, just a combination of things I don't like. Drink 4: Now HERE'S a combination of things I don't like! I think the worst thing about this one is the volume. A pickle chaser or some pickle juice in a Bloody Mary is understandable, but drinking that much pickle juice (and Mt. Dew and whiskey) would definitely make you sick!
Drink #3 actually made me realize that the jello shot thing is basically just the modern equivalent of the fascination with aspic. The human brain just seems to go "ooh" at gelatin.
It’s 5am, I’m tired but I missed a how to drink video. I was nodding off and missed the Mayan death cigar joke conversion to Mayan death whistle. That woke me up, definitely not going back to sleep
If you're still looking for drink ideas I'd love to see your take on some of the wild drinks from Runescape, everyone's favorite old MMO they played once in middle school.
Personally, as a guy from an Italian family, I love olives. Not in a 🍸 mind you, I prefer a wet martini, but I like olives just fine. Especially Greek Kalamatta olives, they're good on pizza and as a treat with a charcuterie board.
I feel like there's more to mine here, got any TikTok drink recommendations?

The best part of many episodes is the unsaid, sarcastic or sardonic notes that come up on the screen. "Don't Dew it" was excellent. 😊
Yes Mountain Dew was originally made for chasing/mixing with moonshine (nicknamed mountain dew), but the company that made it was bought out and the recipe was immediately changed
The original recipe still kinda exists! Its called Dr Enuf now, and it's delicious
Also worth mentioning, in my experience, Mtn Dew absolutely obliterates the alcohol hit of basically every base spirit I tried it with, and just left the taste of Green and whatever flavour notes the spirit had.
Also helped me prove to others that Tito’s is the least neutral vodka out there and tastes more like a rejected gin than anything else, and that I wasn’t just tripping about the silly dog liquid.
@@FurukawaAkaneThat’s an amazing experiment and I especially loved that it proves Tito’s is mid.
I have no clue if you've ever played Star Wars Galaxies from way back in 2003 but they have a bunch of drink/food items you can buff your characters with I think you'd have a fun time going through all the drinks they have on there some are really neat! Love watching your videos!
The only "trendy" thing I've ever made was blood orange mimosa jello shots, you make the jello with a juiced blood orange, sugar, bitters and champagne, and then put the jello back in the orange peel, let it set, and cut into wedges.
I'll be damned if it wasn't great. But it also was long enough ago that it predated vine, let alone tiktok.
Minus the jello and that actually sounds promising. Like some sort of champagne take on an aperol spritz.
@PSYC840 i mean minus the jello and its just a mimosa with a dash of bitters, lol.
Ok Greg, here's an actually good "oldest old fashioned" recipe I came up with watching your show. Hope you like it. I made a 2:1 simple with old school sugar cones, it looks like molasses. Angostura bitters, I used Lairds bottled in bold 100 proof apple brandy and an orange peel. Build it like you would a normal old fashioned and please enjoy. Thanks for all the content that you make.
"Jar of urine with a turd floating in it." Favorite HTD quote to date!
Greg, I finally did it. I signed up to support your show. It's not a lot like I wish I could give, I'm sorry for that. However, i wanted to give something because this show has given me so much. I discovered this show during the pandemic and I fell in love with mixology. Please keep being YOU. The songs, your mistakes, everything is unique and what makes this show stand out from those trying to be too refined. (In every interest.) From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Greg started off the episode looking so pissed, like he genuinely looked angry about everything about what was about to happen
When you're trying TikTok recipes (the most bizarre click/rage bait), it is to be expected.
That eggnog situation is the most I've ever laughed watching this show
Thanks for the Mayan death whistle while I'm at work
You should try your hand at carbonation! There are a lotta sodastream-adjacent products but the drinkmate is actually meant to carbonate non-water liquids, like juice, or milk, or canned tuna brine
Please do one of the drinks from Monster Prom, Monster Camp, or Monster Roadtrip
Oh hell yes I’d love to see how he could do some of those drinks (bring in the bees).
I want to see his take on Ectoplasm. What would be that thick and gloomy? Hell if I know but I bet Greg would figure something out.
Oh I'd love this
They have some pretty out there drinks, I'd love to see how he manages them lol
Oh my god, so many quotable moments here. I felt bad about Greg's suffering, but also like...Meredith thinking too normally still and telling him he WILL need water to make the coffee...and then...:
".....she put milk in the BACK??.....ohhh............."
tbh i would have liked to see Greg try making drinks that aren’t clearly supposed to be bad/never made.
I've seen Greg inflict a lot of torture on himself but this is a whole new level. I salute you Greg
I am so tempted to send the book syrup clip to my mom (who's a librarian at a middle school) saying that I found a use for the old ass books with no value
Pickles are a great snack for those with caloric intake limitations like diabetics and they're very easy to make at home.
I feel sad for the good alcohol wasted on these recipes. However, seeing Gregs face when watching the tiktoks makes it kinda worth it.
your "maybe when I decided to make content for a living, I died, and this is hell" face when you were making the paper syrup, it really sold it
I feel like drinking an old book is the best way to get either a forgotten disease or arsenic poisoning
I don't know what's worse, the drinks or that you had to tear pages out of a book to make one.
As a fan of words on pages, and i know greg and you are too: this physically hurt my soul to watch.
Calmate. He tore an ad out of a bartending manual. Books are not sacred.
@@Magniflorious Eh, they really are though.
Long after our culture, civilization and even our species is dead and gone, the written word can remain and inform future people about us.
@@voicetest6019 and i think (considering how much human lore was lost during the burning of the library of alexandria) we gotta protect what pages with words still exist. Shit, even digital media isn’t permanent. So whatever can be saved, no matter how seemingly trivial, should be saved.
@@thejason755 I think of the clay tablets detailing monotonous letters and invoices we have from the late bronze age, or the graffiti in Pompei, and the insights into those cultures that we have obtained from them.
That's actually an excellent cigar. Especially if it is a Dominican. They are up there with Monti's, Macanudos, H. Upmanns, etc.....Great episode!
I almost had a full-on physical reaction to watching the original video for the coffee maker eggnog. Frankly shocked that it turned out okay.
On another note, if you're looking for another anime/manga to make another anime cocktails episode for, I'd throw my vote in for "Berserk." I'd go with the '97 series if you want quality, the 2016 anime if you want something lower-quality to poke a little fun at, or the 2012 movies if you want something a little in-between. In any case, it's a great series if you want to try and make gruffer-tasting cocktails: the setting is very medieval/middle-ages, so it's probably a good place for herbal liqueurs, mulled wines, etc. Perfect series to also talk about shonen vs seinen if that's up the series' alley.
Eggnog? No, that's an 20-Something Englishman in a Cat-Eared Hoodie Saying "Third Croak After Mid-naugh".
Of course now you know you have to make the Big Jésus Mordino, so that's on you.
First time I've caught any video minutes after posting. You're doing the right thing, the people (often referred to as "Chat") love content creators' pain. Keep up the cool videos!
I have an original Bartender’s Guide from the first few printings! My great grandma was all about fancy/weird drink mixes and such, and I recently found a ratty old copy of Modern Bartender Guide in a shelf of random, mostly decorative books we got from her after she passed. Printed in 1940! Piece of history.
"Oh no, the books" wasn't anything I expected to say on a How To Drink video. I think the "cursed" is in the way it's made sometimes rather than the final product, LOL, but oof that jello shot. You're a brave soul.
The look on your face at 7:23 as you... I dunno, somehow enthusiastically and also begrudgingly say "Yeah" to putting milk through a coffee machine killed me. I needed to take a moment to collect myself.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone on tiktok made a cocktail with actual rat poison
MikeMGTV is going to love that you put him in this list of bartenders. I hope he makes a video to celebrate
Greg saying worst drinks and then it hard cuts to a glass with just a pickle and ice in it
oh boy, this is gonna be a good one
I legit shuddered and involuntarily growled when you tore those pages out :D
God I’ve been rewatching SO much Carlin recently. His words have aged like a fine barrel of hemlock.
I personally live for the reaction descriptions for each cocktail...priceless! 🤣
TikTok is probably the last place I would check for cocktail recommendations lol
Mix ammonia & bleach with white rum for the meme special
Yeah, considering the bulk of the user base is underage, from what I understand.
TikTok is the very last place for anything instructional or educational related
What's the first?
@@Bultizar This channel I suppose
19:54 Greg going "we're gonna stuff that fucker in there" with a mouth full of pickle was hysterical, I can't stop listening to it.
I just choked on my apples when Greg describes the gin coming from inside. 😂😂
About the "pickles are zero calories" thing: legally, any food can be labeled 0 calories if it has 5 or fewer calories per serving.
Fun fact: if you make the serving size small enough, even pure sugar can be labeled 0 calories. Several "zero calorie sweeteners" are actually just a sugar that isn't table sugar.
I saw a coffee pot TikTok drink where they put champagne in the water tank and used starbursts as the “coffee grounds”.
That might work. Might be drinkable. Might be poison.
...I've definitely seen people (on the internet) put starbursts in a coffee maker before though I can't for the life of me remember what they where trying to make because my brain stalled out at the starbursts
@@ashrowan2143 my best guess is starburst vodka, but you can just put starbursts in vodka to make that...
Your audio is amazing! Weather it's the microphones or the engineering, I love it
I now want an entire episode where Greg snacks on things the entire time.
He just wants vine back 0:35
God help us all
Honestly I was more affronted by the white wine in the egg nog than the fact that it was being made in a coffee maker.
Jello shots became a thing in the 50s, and the nation being obsessed with making savory Jello salads was a thing in the 60s, I am shocked that these did not exist already.
2:34 me when I literally consume knowledge
Oh my goodness, the reactions from both of you on the eggnog…priceless 😂
the thing about the eggnog is more a hygiene issue. Like cooking meat in the toaster tiktoks. Yes it *will* work. But it will also ruin your toaster cause you can't clean it properly afterwards. I figure the same is true for the coffee maker.
Tbh the toaster thing has the additional issue of being a fire hazard with the fat dripping into electric components
But yeah this ruins the machine since even if it still otherwise functions it can't be properly cleaned of the stuff you put into it
I don’t know exactly why, but this was the funniest episode ever. I’m watching this in bed next to my sleeping wife and just convulsing in full body silent laughter. Thank you both!
For April Fools you should rank bottled waters
Greg: "No, I dont have a problem ok?"
Also Greg: 21:51
Perfect timing! Thank you, HTD!
I fecking love life hacks that make things way more complicated and time consuming while also ruining appliances.
would love to see you try make the fizzy worm star wars cocktail from Andor, looked so gross but would make a great ep!!
I’ve been watching Andor recently and I thought that as well! There’s also a punch drink they mention and briefly show on screen, Greg could try to make recipes for both
@@murphyc97 yes I think it was called grog? also would be a good chance to make spotchka from The Mandalorian
man I just loved the scholarly pickle discussion. "ahhhh but we should use a worse pickle...." It wouldn't have been out of place for you to point with the half pickle like it was a pipe. "No zero. It says zero."
The cigar ash isn't too bad to eat/drink. At least, not worse than smoking the cigar. Pretty salty, drying, and full of nicotine, but definitely edible. Just a little advice from kinktok.
Haven’t watched your vids in a while. You’ve lost some weight. Looking good bro. Thanks for the laughs and the concoctions.
I thought the same thing about a tough guy diss with cigar as well. I would have done a strain.
If the intent was to just have a woody/smokey flavour, then there are definitely better ways to approach that in my opinion.
I had fallen asleep at some point watching a HTD playlist but thankfully I was woken by that death whistle. 10/10
Romeo Y Julieta is definitely not a “dog shit” cigar. It’s long filler tobacco from Nicaragua. You can definitely do much worse. Their Reserva Real Nicaragua (blue band) is one of my favorite cigars.
Yeah but the one they bought was likely an eight dollar dogshit one. They weren't gonna get a Reserva Real to toast and then immediately put out in a drink.
I was thinking the same thing, that's a fairly mid-grade cigar that I would expect to find at a convenience store...
The Romeo Y Julieta is one of my favourites - it's simple, easy approach, and not pretentious. Then again, cigars are like whiskey - the best whiskey is the one you like to drink, the way you like to drink it.
Yeah I balked when he called it that. RyJ is not that. It's a solid mid tier stick.
@@Ramonatho the one he used is a nice Nicaraguan stick. Eight dollar is not inexpensive for cigars. It’s about middle of the road. The Reserva Real is usually an $8 stick.
Lots of chuckles to be had in this episode. Loved it!
My scream of pain when you ripped that book was very audible. Never speak to me again.
16:36 I have no vermouth and I must scream
I don't know who told you Romeo y Julieta is a bad cigar, but it's definitely not. Sure, it's not a super high end cigar, but it is a staple middle of the road one. It'd be like calling Jack Daniels horseshit.
So true! Was just going to comment that the Romeo y Julieta is an excellent cigar.....especially Dominican ones! Great episode!
I mean there are definitely opinionated whiskey people who will call Jack Daniels horse shit
Jack Daniels is horseshit. Tastes like sewage runoff.
@6:42 you see his spirit die
I enjoy making jello shots but I always forget I'm supposed to pour it into cups and just end up with a jello bowl I eat with a spoon. Lol. Actually, if you let them set in a tray then cut into squares they act as ice cubes in tiki style mixed drinks or anything fruity.
I want butterscotch jello so I can make peanut butter whiskey and butterscotch jello shots
Someone once served me a "martini" that was half an ounce of everclear and an olive. True story.
Drink 1: I can sort of see what it's supposed to be doing, because the "old book smell" comes from vanillin that's produced when paper degrades, but yikes. Also it seems like there's not actually enough to make a difference anyway, so just get some bourbon that has vanilla notes from the barrel!
Drink 2: I looked up a normal recipe for egg nog and it uses 4 eggs. 12 is utterly baffling and I'm amazed that the hot milk didn't immediately make scrambled eggs as it went through the machine!
Drink 3: Why are college kids so into jello shots? There's nothing really cursed about this, just a combination of things I don't like.
Drink 4: Now HERE'S a combination of things I don't like! I think the worst thing about this one is the volume. A pickle chaser or some pickle juice in a Bloody Mary is understandable, but drinking that much pickle juice (and Mt. Dew and whiskey) would definitely make you sick!
Drink #3 actually made me realize that the jello shot thing is basically just the modern equivalent of the fascination with aspic. The human brain just seems to go "ooh" at gelatin.
On behalf of transgender women everywhere, I will defend the drinking of pickle juice but nothing else about that last drink
It’s 5am, I’m tired but I missed a how to drink video. I was nodding off and missed the Mayan death cigar joke conversion to Mayan death whistle. That woke me up, definitely not going back to sleep
Thanks for the death whistle, editing greg, you deserve these drinks.
If you're still looking for drink ideas I'd love to see your take on some of the wild drinks from Runescape, everyone's favorite old MMO they played once in middle school.
Personally, as a guy from an Italian family, I love olives. Not in a 🍸 mind you, I prefer a wet martini, but I like olives just fine. Especially Greek Kalamatta olives, they're good on pizza and as a treat with a charcuterie board.
The surprise pickle review really is what HTD is all about
