- So we found this footage from 2013 on an old drive and decided to finish it. Younger and thinner, but it's still me and the G&T is still the best hot weather drink ever devised.

The G&T is the finest health beverage ever devised by mortal hands. Alleviates all manner of aliments including malaria, scurvy and sobriety.

I love that. Thank you. Do you know the source?

very wise
In modern days, that's called racism.
This is the content that will make AB a TH-cam star
You spelled God wrong
@@dabulousv6476 I see what you did there.
@@AltonBrown And did you see that it was good?
He already is!
@@AltonBrown NO QQ TONIGHT?! Im shifting between TH-cam and Facebook for you to tell us.
The mosquito sound effects in this video are pure, distilled anxiety.
Scratching my neck and having flashbacks to poorly-screened summer camp cabins.
Yeah it’s a great vid but that bit didn’t need to go on and on like that. I found it distracted from the awesome content.
Found a mosquito in my house while the video was playing ☹️☹️☹️
The Good Eats vibes from this are tangible
Right down to the closing theme music.
you'd think it's the same guy making it
I like to think his cook smart segments are like bite size samples of good eats. they taste the same, but you know youd just as well enjoy the whole meal if you could get it.
Good Eats is distilled Alton Brown aged on Shirley Curriher
@@etymonlegomenon931 it is
Finding this 2013 footage is like finding forgotten money in a jacket you haven't worn in years.
Just as long as the money wasn’t in the pocket with the dog biscuit that Sparky chewed through.
I like G&Ts .... good tonic water is the key.
Alton brown never fails to soothe my soul
Or my stomach
Or my palate. THE guru of food and drink!
Alton's really out here dressed like Belloq, laying down some history and spraying some skeeters. Awesome.
Came to find this comment
JOOOOOOOONNNEESSSSSS!!
"And we find that there is no food which you discover, that I cannot explain away."
Quinine fluoresces under black light, too... very fun for parties!
I was today years old... but that is cool AF to know.
Thank you for going back to a classic dress up, educational video on food.
More cocktail episodes please!!! Love the short sweet and to the point history as well as your personal spin on the recipe.
Alton Brown: Basically the G&T of TH-cam. Especially with the added thing of aged gin being amazing and 8 years later Alton also being amazing.
Alton please put out content similar to this you would bring joy to so many of us!!!
I totally agree with you !
As ever, you are my inspiration. I paused, poured, drank. Not a mosquito in sight.
AND we live in S, California! No skeeters here in San Diego
this is excellent
It’s excellent and it’s tremendous
Yes it is!
Alton's charisma is an absolute delight to witness
I only recently realized how much I like this drink, despite it being so simple.
It is far from simple, yes you add just a couple of compounds together, but the compounds themselves are complex in nature. It reminds me of the favourite dish of Ferran Adrià, which is pan con tomate, but then how do you make a good olive oil or bread, where does the flower come from, etc., so once again simple in nature, simple in compounds, but far from simple. The same goes for gin (it easily could contain 40 aromatics) and tonic.
@@robdielemans9189 ok
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. it's called GUSTO and I embrace it.
That is one sharp looking havana! Really suits you.
This guy is a food legend. He has the best delivery anywhere.
Just loved the piece ❤!!!!
Gin and tonic is my favorite drink.
Jack Rudy tonic is a game changer. So glad Alton introduced me to it.
Any idea where to get this Jack Rudy tonic in Belgium (or shipped to)? Are there other great brands like it?
Best program yet! Love the costume, the set, most of all the information!
Love the way everything was written out on the screen.
Super great job.
Clear and concise.
Great format Please do more of these.😊
God bless you, Alton Brown.
Watching your videos make me calm, and educate me all at once.
I’ve been requesting like crazy more “Liquor in the Library” moments. This is exactly what I was hoping for!! Fabulous!! I could watch a million of these. THANKS, Alton! 💜
This is the type of video that made me start following Alton. Good to see a return.
I agree. This is where he SHINES!
I like this format. Thanks!
Love this, inspiring and encouraging. Jack Rudy is great.
I am a aromatic plant grower in QC and enjoy the qualities of traditional drinks, so it's nice to see loyalty to true ingredients. Thank you.
Looking dashing, AB! 🍸
I always love when you tell a story , as you tell it so well. You continue to amaze me, Love it Alton!!
this dude really a top tier performer no cap
Whoops, fell into the time machine again. We gotta get some signs put up and maybe add a lock...
I loved it! Thank you, Alton!
Two thumbs up! I'm so glad you guys finished this!
I feel as though I've seen my first Good Eats episode in...ever. 🙄
Please AB... More like this!!!
This is the grownup version of what I watched as a kid! love it!
watching this at 11:55 PM while slightly tipsy - you made my night!
Alton, you are the absolute greatest chef story teller. I love all your videos
Love the Good Eats style of this vid! Thank you.
Love these old segments.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ AB you made my day more wonderful with that history lesson. Cheers!
Gin and Tonic is my new jam. Thanks for the history and the advice. I like it even more now.
I want more of this! Love the breakdown and the history. It would be great to see this as a series. Now I know what cocktail...er...stagering complex elixir I will be having tonight.
One of your best lately sir.
Always entertaining and educational.
I love herbal and food history. Thanks, Alton!
Love it, brilliant presentation
Great history! The story always helps the cocktail experience!
You teach, we learn. Thank you!
Thanks for a classic Alton 'short!'
I will be enjoying these all sumer long!!!
I loved it. Always wanted more info on such a good drink. 💙💙💙💙
I always feel a little smarter whenever I watch an Alton Brown video. Bless you sir.
This is the perfect video to pop up on my feed after making a gin and tonic, thanks Alton!
If you have never suffered from any of the aforesaid ailments, you owe it all to gin & tonic. Wonderful stuff.
always entertaining and informative.
My favorite drink ever
omg i miss your humor so much!! thanks for a very awesome episode!
Good Eats vibes! This made me happy. I also love G&Ts, so this is practical advice just in time for summer.
Really enjoyed this video, thanks!
I am a huge fan of gins of all types!!!! Flavorful variations make the Gin and Tonic wildly diverse cocktails. Thank you!!
I so so so agree, the best Summer drink invented... my mouth is watering...thanks for sharing.
Just bought a soda stream and ordered the tonic syrup from Jack Rudy’s website. Thanks for the video. Much appreciated in times like these.
This video is great. I do miss this week's QQ episode. Please keep up the good work. Also please keep making QQ episodes. They are really enjoyable.
Mr. Brown, you are a genius. I have been a gin and tonic drinker a very long time. My son, an exec chef at a golf club in Indiana also love them. Tonight we toasted to your gin and tonic recipe via facetime, I live in Florida. That tonic syrup makes an excellent substitute for tonic water. Keep the great videos coming!!
My Favorite and now I'll try to make my own Tonic. Thanks AB
Found this by accident today! What a delight it is and it made me smile, as you always do AB. Thanks for putting it up for us. oh, yeah, BTW, you look just as handsome these days as you did back then, maybe even more. "Too thin" Alton just wasn't right. Love ya'!
My favourite drink !! Well done 👍
Thank you for this🤙🏽
When I was a youngin my brother decided to learn me on the joys of gin and tonic. Some wonderful memories were made !
You must've dug deep into your video crates. Love this explanation! And I do love my Gin! Van Gogh and Amsterdam are light tastes.
The AB of my youth. Loved it.
5 years sober. Clicked just to hit the like button, just because it’s Alton.
I can't drink but I could listen to talk about all day fascinating food science
Same here. I’ll make mock tail based on the (close) flavor profiles.

I love this so much
Just found your channel . I'm a big fan of Gin & Tonics. History and alcohol , a perfect blend . 👍
Gin & Tonic season is upon us. I can't wait to sip on one of these outside on a patio (if Ontario ever gets to that point again). It's much more likely that I'll be enjoying them at home. After much experimentation, I think I've found the perfect G&T recipe. Put two ounces of gin with the juice of half a lime in a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice, shake for 20 seconds or so, strain into a glass that's also filled with ice, top it off with a bottle of Fever Tree elderflower tonic.
I couldn't agree more! The ultimate summer drink!
I bonsai'd a small lime tree for a lady friend that only has the occasional drink in summer. Every ten days a full size lime would be ready during the hot season. The "bouquet" that a freshly picked lime added to the drink was just amazing. Most fruit lose this trait within two days of being picked. Even added a small Bay window over the kitchen sink to catch the sun in beautiful White Rock, BC, Canada.
I grew up watching your shows and I will be buying the DVD series if I can help it later this year because you provide such lovely edutainment.
Love this! I’d love to see more videos about basic cocktails & their history!
Great video and very informative!
Welcome back!
I really enjoyed AB detailing the history of my favourite drink. Also his recommendation for London Dry I'll give it a try as well. Thanks Alton!
I love the way he gives history lessons that you want to hear. Mario Batali does the same thing . My 2 favorite chefs
this is the stuff that made me love watching AB
One of my summertime favorites!
He had the best cooking show on TV (Good Eats). Full of good recipes, tips and s great sense of humour. Miss the shows.
I love these back yard bite sized videos
Love me a good G&T, and you've given me some great ideas to try, thanks!
Thanks for posting this! I spend most of my days drinking neat bourbon. But G&T is my very favorite cocktail. I love the challenge of making more complicated drinks, but none of them satisfy me as much as a bit of gin, a bit of tonic, and a bit of lime on ice.
The feeling when you and Alton share a favorite gin.
This is why I like you. I find out I’m making one of my favorite foods or drinks wrong and you make it better. On my way to get some Tonic concentrate now.
Now I know how to make Mrs. Slocombe’s Gin and Tonic! And wait until they call, this video should do it. Always happy to see ya, AB!
I have been touting the health effects of a Gin and Tonic for years.
Great production A
Good to see Jack Rudy getting some love.
This is why I subscribed.
I love your cocktail videos :)
This is a lovely tonic to a long day.
I’ll see myself out.
