As algorithm "likes" lists, then titles need to be cheap clickbaits like "Top X Christmas cocktails" ;)

[@robertgrenader858]

For Christmas this year, I am making Glogg, from your video of course.

[@carl_busch]

Im drinking a Winter Mai Tai!!!

[@CocktailsUnderQuarantine]

I really love the Hot Buttered Rum recipe from Smuggler's Cove.

[@joshwagner9519]

Where can we find your glassware?

[@spacesandy3410]

I simply love how concise, condensed and really to the point your videos are. Such a joy to watch and you learn so much from them. Thanks so much, Anders! Happy holidays!

[@motameus1]

Yeah, you're killing it Anders. I reckon 1 million subscribers is gonna happen in the next two years

[@alexushensley2476]

"Gambling destroys families."
Thank you for putting this together 😊

[@jakelowell7861]

“If you found an egg lying in the street in the sun, don’t use it” Laughed much harder than I should have at that 😂 awesome video, can’t wait to try some of these

[@J.5.M.]

if you find an egg in the street return it to its owner!

[@m.litwicki2077]

I just discovered that if you watch these at half-speed, it looks like you've already drunk all of the drinks, and then finished off what was left in the bottles. A lot of fun, and also the video lasts twice as long, so it's a win-win!
Though now that I think of it, how do we know you didn't actually do that, and then double-speed it in editing to make it seem like you're sober? Hmmmm....

[@AndersErickson]

I cannot confirm nor deny that this is how we produce our videos.

[@metalsam666]

You are so damn charismatic, I don't even make drinks, but I like watching your stuff. I like the fumbling at the beginning of the video, its always the best part!

[@bribhoney]

Very true, the algorithm loves list. Majority of the things I get recommend are list in things I have interest in or list of things that that peaked my interest once.

[@kevinashworth6256]

Love that all these drinks are relatively easy. Just what’s needed in this busy season! Have a bottle of sherry I’ve been wanting to crack. Now I know what to do with it first. Thanks, Anders.

[@tgray0379]

This channel has become my new addiction! Love the delivery and the variety of recipes you offer.

[@Cale_E]

Goodness… this hot buttered rum recipe was delightful. Reminded me of the ski lodge during a snowstorm. “Hugs my soul”

[@maitaioneon]

Anders, The Semester Abroad is fantastic!

[@gregglutz4690]

Lovin’ your content. I just had your semester abroad and I love it.

[@troyp5432]

"Happy cold weather days!" as I watch this in late December in Hawaii with nothing but a pair of shorts on in my living room at 8am. Ahhh, warm weather all year ain't so bad, but these cocktails sure look great!

[@kjjjacobs13]

I like to use hot apple cider instead of hot water for my Hot Buttered Rum and it’s soooo good! Tastes like if apple pie a La mode was a hot boozy drink. Love it!

[@dominicgerman5908]

6 drinks in one video?? It’s a Black Friday miracle! Can’t wait to make these tonight. Love the new space

[@AndersErickson]

Haha Thanks, Dominic! Hope you're having a great holiday weekend with some good drinks!

[@zombiepirate]

Az's face when you shut the door in her face....priceless! Also, Anders looked more like the delivery guy than Az, I think it's the cap!

[@angelasims7377]

About your train...one day you'll realize it didn't catch your attention, and that you've adapted without knowing. This comes from personal experience of living half a block from the tracks. Much love always!

[@ThatGuyMagnum]

Love seeing all these and going, "boy I can't wait to try these when it's 20C outside next july!"
Southern hemisphere yay!

[@mhudson1738]

Excited to try the Semester Abroad!

[@michaelpeper2778]

This inspired me to make my first flip. Delicious. For those who love the side-by-side drinks videos, what about a Flip episode? Sherry, Brandy, Cynar?! Port, Rum, Mr Black?! Maybe the algorithm doesn't like flip roundup videos, but I would!

[@MrChickster12]

For me the Elks own is for me!

[@amandamosser1854]

This just warmed the cockels of my heart - you da best!

[@crazydubwise]

Great comedy to garnish this amazing recipes. Love this channel, thank you , Mr Anderson!! Clap clap clap!!

[@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_]

Really cosy this video and AZ as postman,...fabulous,..bottoms up!!!!

[@mikecdek]

That semester abroad made me shed a tear or three. Those beautiful memories. And then you went on to the sherry flip and 5 more tears came out.

[@dejahdanger]

Love this channel. Seriously upping my game in this tiny college town.

[@Virru112]

Between Anders, How to Drink and Tipsy Bartender, all my drinking needs are covered.. Anders and How to Drink I watch even when not thinking about making drinks lol

[@mattcero1]

That train! Imagine how the Blue's Brothers felt! Dude, another great video, thanks. I've searched and have not found a drink that is total banana dessert styled. There has to be a spiced rum, banana liqueur, chocolate/chocolate bitters, coffee and maybe some vanilla or cherry? It won't have fresh bananas keep in mind and will mimic a banana split or something like it. And no to the dirty banana, it's been done to death. Let the alchemy begin if you so dare sir.

[@romanmalmas9370]

I love both algorithms and lists

[@NathanielScottYT]

why was this the funniest ad I've seen in a youtube video

[@bklynhelen3865]

I made the Elk’s Own. I’m a sucker for a foaming top. The fresh grated nutmeg really transformed it into a cold winter night cocktail 🍹

[@davidcharlesworth6831]

Just what I needed! Got volunteered by the Mrs. to be bartender at a Christmas party on Dec 10th. Many thanks Anders.

[@jamesiles3038]

Hahaha exactly the same thing happened to me today! So great timing from Anders

[@AndersErickson]

You'll be a star, David! Happy mixing!

[@davidcharlesworth6831]

@@AndersErickson thanks dad. I’ll do you proud.

[@WinePA]

Thank you. You are the best! Happy holidays!

[@TheWeePearl]

These are all wonderful cocktails! Some of these are new to me. I’ll have to try them out.

[@kiley07]

These are so beautiful. Thanks!

[@oa3114]

Happy happy holidays to you also !

[@staceyaustin5148]

My new favorite!

[@eriikjohnsson]

Elk's own is soo good

[@quentind4093]

Thanks for you job Anders ! Greetings from France 🤩

[@cliffhazelton]

The semester abroad? So good. *chef kiss*
Thanks for these and the other videos. Subscribed!

[@ChemistryTalkwithDan]

My wife walked into the room as you were discussing the hot buttered rum and immediately made a yummy noise. Hot buttered rum is now on the menu for tonight. Thank you sir!

[@AndersErickson]

Excellent! Enjoy it - Cheers!

[@theijeomalyons]

I love the extraness of the mist of absinthe..YEESSSSSSS👏

[@MaxwellTM]

Thank you Anders!

[@phillipbrent17]

Perfect timing! Very excited to try these out, thanks Anders & Az - you've gotten me into this hobby this year and it's been awesome to learn so far. ☺️

[@AndersErickson]

Love to hear that, Phillip! Cheers!

[@Collindenton]

Hey Anders - just wanted to say this video (and a friend's whiskey sour) really inspired me to start trying my hand at cocktails, many of which I've never had before. I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience so far, and I just wanted to say thank you! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

[@funnycatzz123]

These all look amazing. Thank you!

[@davidniebler5139]

The Semester Abroad is fantastic, especially on this cold and snowy night. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@rvngo2989]

We use Bubu Rum or Lost Spirits Distillary "Navy" Rum for an amazing tasting Hot Buttered Rum.

[@Michael-do8pn]

You will grow to love that train. I'm in a similar situation and, even if I am not recording, I will stop what I am doing to enjoy the train passing.

[@tjeremyobrien]

I tried making the Alexander for my Christmas cocktail, and in all honesty, I did naaaht enjoy it. However, it did inspire me to create something I did enjoy with the bottle of creme de cacao I ended up buying. Later I discovered it was very similar to an existing cocktail: the 20th century. My version is 1.5oz gin, 1oz creme de cacao, 1oz sweet vermouth, 0.5oz lemon juice. Flame some orange peel over that. I call it a 2021.

[@carolinesser-miles6608]

The rum flip was a great success as celebration on Christmas Eve. Delicious! But six people do go through eggs quickly. Thank you!

[@will5430]

I would’ve never thought gin and cream could go well together and here I am loving this drink!

[@brightvalve]

Your creation, The Semester Abroad is fantastic! Great depth, perfect sipper.

[@HollyMarsh0716]

Love the new space, trains be damned! You seem very at home there already. Thanks for the great list!

[@dustums]

Closing the door on Az's high five during the Brightcellar ad made me laugh out loud. You both are the best!

[@dick220]

New fav channel

[@gregglutz4690]

Anders. The Semester Abroad is a solid cocktail. I got to try it over the weekend at a restaurant. In your honor I had her serve it in a coupe. Arguably I should have had my second cocktail first as it was a dry martini (Uncle Val's Gin) splashed with garlic scape pickle juice. It brought some funk to the party. Lastly, really enjoying the channel.

[@weewid6839]

I don't care i live in New Zealand and it's SPRING right now, i'll make the Hot Buttered Rum cocktail and drink it in my lounge, under a blanket, pretending it's winter !

[@spencercmartin13]

Love this! I always look forward to your Friday videos!! Been telling all my friends about you

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you so much, Spencer! Enjoy the weekend!

[@richmosley2519]

Happy Holidays, Az and Anders

[@AndersErickson]

The same to you, Rich! Thanks!

[@DreadlessKahn]

Sold! These look amazing!

[@cascadediver1403]

Excellent Hot Buttered Rum! Thanks! I used Myers's Rum.

[@mossbergk]

I’m sipping on your hot buttered rum right now after being stuck in a blizzard for 2hrs and it’s SO COMFORTING! Thank you for opening my eyes to this drink!

[@angelarochester116]

I have trains pass me twice an hour from 5.30 until half past midnight….. absolutely love it!!!

[@AndersErickson]

I hope to get to your level of acceptance!

[@amandamosser1854]

You make me happy!!

[@uwu31311]

Thanks u Bright Cellars

[@gregpatton4686]

I just added a Hot Buttered Branca to our cocktail list at Glasspar in Dana Point, CA. I make a batter of butter, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add 1.5 oz Fernet Branca, hot water, and a top with a lightly whipped cream with vanilla paste. It is AMAZING!

[@vivcruickshank6971]

Great video! I will definitely be making these!

[@mazaggie]

What a..
FLIPPING amazing video!

[@haimaratwickline5386]

thank you, I liked the video. Short and to the point.

[@als.2983]

6 drink Holiday video is fantastic. So many interesting and tasty cocktails to chose from ... and 5 weeks to try them ALL. Thanks for reaching into you Holiday bag of tricks and sharing your favorites.

[@AndersErickson]

Hope you try them all! Cheers!

[@emseypenguin]

Grew up in Guyana and moved to Plymouth UK so was really excited to see the 2 El Dorado rums and Plymouth Gin on your shelf, personal favs.

[@bschauz]

These are different and I’m going to try them all, thanks!

[@jamesfilios6138]

haha sherry flip:
"Hey we're out of eggs, what should we do?"
"idk just go outside and see if you can find one lying in the sun"

[@helios566]

I tried out the Hot Buttered Rum and holy it's unusual smooth for a Rum cocktail. Very nice

[@linoluna8240]

Dude was on point, no BS just awesome cocktail recipes and And some humor. Great job !

[@judokazuzu]

At least one of the drinks I will add to the menu of the bar where I work, thank you!

[@pmckeown38]

You are on form today, very entertaining, thank you

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Peter! Have a great weekend!

[@PhillipAmato]

Well have to save this post to watch again later because it is Summer in Australia 😎🍸

[@michelledianevaughan6538]

I'm so excited to have found you on my feed. I haven't even finished this video yet & already liked & subscribed! Looking forward to binge watching your content.

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you so much! Cheers!

[@peterverdon645]

I sure wish I had watched this video before I stumbled upon that egg on the side of the road. Great video! Will definitely be trying some of these

[@scottamy404]

Jake: How often does the train go by? Elwood: so often you won't notice.

[@sexysexy3490]

So happy to see you're doing ads now, shows how much your channel is growing. 👏🏾

[@globzgaming]

These have to be The most Odd Cocktails ive come across today.. i dont think id like an egg in my drink but the last one with the butter actually sounds amazing.

[@PyrrhusBrin]

I was looking for a single serve hot buttered rum recipe and yours is right up my alley.
I made it, used Denizen Merchant Reserve and to be honest it's like a giant buttery hug.

[@TheFrankSorensen]

Hey, did you use unsalted butter?

[@PyrrhusBrin]

​@@TheFrankSorensen sorry I didn't see this I used salted but I imagine that unsalted with a pinch of salt would be just as good.

[@benlittlechilds1192]

I hate this because now I need to go buy Almond liquor lol.
Seriously though, easily my fav cocktail channel.

[@niaru5850]

These videos are so cool and I really like coctails... because of this I will end up setting up a secret bar o.O Need so many types of liquids to make coctails...

[@christinecamley]

How exciting! These are amazing ideas for holidays cocktails, Anders! I plan on trying them all over the holidays! That will be happily enjoyable! 🙂The cocktail that I have to try immediately is the Semester Abroad! That is on my list for tonight! Spectacular balance of ingredients! Thanks so much Anders!!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Christine! Hope you can try all of these - especially the Semester Abroad! Enjoy your weekend as the cooler season rolls in! 😊

[@christinecamley]

@@AndersErickson Thanks so much Anders!

[@steverochon1620]

Hope you two had a good Thanksgiving.

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Steve! Same to you!

[@missfrankiefontaine]

This is amazing 👏👏👏👏

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

LOL! I legit paused the vid to write that comment. Anyways, I was laughting too loud to keep on watching. I so relate to the "people you don't know how to talk too" HAHAHAHA!!! Cheers mate! Great vid again... so far, I'm just at 4:36

[@AndersErickson]

Hahaha the struggle is real! Thanks, JF! Cheers!

[@marcoochoa3223]

Made 3 of them. i really enjoyed the alexander ! And even more so the brandy alexander. Especially for the holidays really went well together. Thank you!

[@dawnisblessed8416]

You are delightful

[@undeathmetal6574]

Thanks for the wide mix of styles! I'm way more into stiffer drinks, so the Semester Abroad seems perfect, but my bf is way more into creamy desserty drinks so totally I'll whip him up an Alexander. Great vid as always!

[@AndersErickson]

Something for everyone - Cheers!

[@dizzyedge]

Made the Elk’s Own at our family Christmas this year and it was an absolute HIT. Beautiful looking & tasting cocktail!

[@XBOSHIFY443]

"It's like a little gift....i hate it" LOL

[@Kayjayoh]

I have long been a fan of the Brandy Alexander (Wisconsin girl) and also an Amaretto Alexander, but I always thought the original Alexander with gin sounded...not great. I just couldn't imagine the bright botanicals of the gin working with the chocolate and creme. However, having watched this video, I decided to give it a shot. I went in with low expectations, especially since my current gin options are Hendricks's and Empress 1908. I didn't want the color of the Empress, but I figured the cucumber notes of the Hendrick's wouldn't play well at all.
Boy howdy, I was pleasantly surprised! It was so delicious, and somehow the chocolate notes of the creme de cacao come out even more than in the the Brandy Alexander (which I've been making most nights since Christmas Eve). I've rarely been so delighted to be proven wrong. So thank you for the recommendation.

[@user-qj5im7yn9m]

I was waiting for this🔥🔥🔥 Thx Anders! To the bar, Cheers🍷

[@soumyadippramanik200]

Hey Anders thanks for another awsome video. Loved it, like every time👍👍😁 Really good balance of ingredients. Had a good time. have a good day.

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you so much, Soumyadip! Appreciate you watching, and happy you're liking the videos. Cheers to you!

[@samueljohnson1333]

I thought that sounded like the CTA. Enjoy your new place! Great video, will be trying a flip soon.
