The Painkiller is my go to mainly because it is relatively easy to make.
If I can suggest an episode, at Universal Studios Hollywood, they recently refurbished Jurassic Park to Jurassic World. In doing so, they opened the Isla Nu-bar with quite a few delicious tiki drinks. Could you make your own Jurassic World themed drink?
Can't find PBF Comics Beachcomber comic.
I like a good whiskey, vodka, or gin straight or with cranberry juice on ice.
Can't endorse Purple mattresses, I guess. Tee-hee.
Aviation Gin. It's gin for pilots. Denzel won't make a statement.
Donn the beachcomber was a legend. I was at Trader Vics not too long ago and Vic bergernon actually mentions Donn by name in the menu. He was actually very respectful of his rival and gave him a lot of credit for creating and pioneering the genre
The foaming from pineapple is the bromelain breaking down proteins.
Add it to your after workout shake (helps process protein quicker) and it's really good for tenderising cheap steak.
My food science degree finally doing something xD
(Additional fact: Pure pineapple can denature human skin from the pH3-4 AND the bromelain. So don't eat too much raw or you can get mouth ulcers
No wonder my mouth always started feeling raw after eating half a pineapple...
Yes, pineapple is also eating you when you chew it up.
My tongue felt “hairy” once when I ate too much pineapple
I found your Dole Whip video a few months back, which inspired me to do a Tiki birthday party with the few friends in my social circle. I made a menu with 18 drinks - all recipes from your videos - and we had an absolute blast giving them all a try over the course of the weekend! I was extremely pleased to find that the flavors leaned so much more on herbal notes than I initially thought they would, and I don't think there was a single one I didn't enjoy. Funnily enough, our top rated drink of the weekend, which happened to be the last one we made, was the Dole Whip! And now I have three more to try! Thank you for all the research you do, and for all of the work you put into making such high quality videos!
Hey, Sid Meier's Pirates! That brings back some good memories.
Damn I loved that game. I don't care if your comment and the video is a year old. Sid Meier is great
I have a bunch of Tiki drink books. One of the things I read about Don the Beachcomber, was that he worked in a soup kitchen, in a Chinese neighborhood. So, when he opened a restaurant, he served Chinese food, because it's what he knew.
That could be why, at most Chines restaurants, the drink menus include most of the famous Tiki drinks.
Been waiting for this episode for years!
Well done! As a long time tiki enthusiast it's awesome to see you tackle these popular classics on your channel, I especially appreciate you doing the Q.B. Cooler, one of the oldest! Another fantastic informative episode!!
The international Market.... Still bitter that it's gone... So many memories and I can still smell all the candle carving booths...
I'm happy that the cocktail you liked the most is also the one that is easiest to find ingredients for XD
Which just seems wrong for a Tiki cocktail but nevertheless appreciated
Another great episode. While I am more of a whiskey and whiskey cocktail fan, I love learning about the Tiki bar fad from your channel and the cultural stuff around it you always pepper in. Truly, one of my favorite follows on any online media.
Great video, I watch these religiously. I love this format as well, just focusing on one mixologist or one bar.
greg, you should try to make some summer/spring dessert drinks (inspiration from Sherbet, fruity ice creams, etc)
Ok- so I love the episode, first off; but as a disney fan and cast member I have to correct your assumption that Disney Springs has anything to do with Hawaii. The shopping district in the Springs was based off of Florida beach towns such as St Augustine. But seriously, love the episode and can’t wait to make a drink!
Sid meier's pirates!
Good choice!
this is by far the best sponsorship pitch I've ever seen.
For anyone wondering: from what I found on the web, the real Velvet Falernum from Barbados is only imported in the US. For other countries, you can find the so called 'Golden Falernum' from The Bitter Truth, some websites suggest it is almost identical in terms of ingridients.
Here in the Netherlands I can get both Taylor's Velvet Falernum as well as Cockspur Old Time Recipe Falernum from Barbados.
I've never clicked on a video so fast
Greg, I need to know what you use to make those giant ice cubes. Please reply.
Awesome! Any chance of a Mass Effect episode for the Legendary Edition release next month?
Oh dear lord... the pronunciation on "La fée verte" was all sorts of special haha!
Made the missionary’s downfall tonight. Well actually, I made several. Fantastic, and very different from batch to batch.
Episode on Chinotto?
Does Helix have toppers and pillows?
YO SHOUT OUT TO BIG DADDY GREG FOR THE FASSIONOLA REMINDER
I know this is from six months ago, but that lime squeeze is stiil _pretty cringe._ You should attempt to _invert_ the fruit by having the convex shapes meet. That way the juice sacs get a tighter squeeze, thus, a fuller hand extraction.
I love how nearly everything in donn's life can be chalked up to " *shrugs* maybe it happened"
@M P yeah totally. He once wrestled a gator after chucking homebrew stuff in the swamps? Ehhh, maybe. Who knows
"He was born"
Hmm... Are you sure? XD
There always seems to be people like that out there from that generation and the one just after; a good few end up in Australia. There was a lot wrong with the world at the time, but the good things they had included easier passage across borders, better social security (esp immediately after the War when countries realised they had a duty to care for their citizens) and a flowering of attitudes rejecting the establishment. If you wanted to just travel around the world, work for dodgy shipping or sales companies then jump off wherever the surf was awesome, get by on menial work or go off grid, you could do that.
There's Crocodile Harry, for instance, who claims he arrived from somewhere in eastern Europe (where exactly no one really knows; some say he was a Latvian baron) post-WW2 having fought for the Nazis in Latvia, spent time poaching and wrestling crocodiles before ending up in the middle of the desert, in the opal-mining town of Coober Pedy, where he lived in a dug-out cave that he decorated with "memorabilia" like nude female sculptures and the underwear of the numerous women he apparently bedded (what people would call a "colourful character").
I myself met some French guy who bar-kept at a weed cafe in the tiny town of Nimbin, who had a different claim about something he did tailored to every person he talked to. In one hour I heard him say he was a film director, a professional racecar driver, worked in the Caribbean, on the team who designed the Petronas Twin Towers, and a low-level spy for French intelligence based in Singapore. Pretty much everything seemed like B.S., but you just couldn't tell where the truth ended and the B.S. began.
I'd highly recommend everyone interested in tiki read Potions Of The Caribbean by Jeff Berry. The recipes in the drink are cool and all but its more of a history book and I couldn't put it down and read the whole thing in a day
GREAT book, I can second that. It's a keeper on my bar shelf for sure.
Can you make "The Balm of Fierabras" as made by Don Quixote (boiled oil, wine, salt, and rosemary) that causes him and Sancho Panzo to become extremely ill and try and make it good. I can see it being a challenge
That doesn't sound too bad as it is
That’s just a half decent salad dressing! Gonna put that on some spring greens goddamn
I could totally see this. Olive oil, rosemary syrup (or rosemary infused gin), some retsina wine shaken with an egg white and garnished with some flaky sea salt on top 👌
@@TheWeePearl I haven't had it, but I have seen an Elemental brand "romarin" liqueur at may local grocery store. A quick Googling says that "romarin" is Italian for rosemary and romarin liqueurs are somewhat common. That could probably work well too.
@@scaper8 oooh! I’ve never heard of that before. That would definitely work
You were the main reason I got into making tiki drinks/the wonderful world of rum. So exciting to see a 32 minute episode on tiki.
On another note, more longer episodes! I use your videos like podcast when I cook or clean so it’s always fun to have longer ones.
Agreed. I listen as well. More long form Greg!
@@andrewmeilinger6203 Then fork over some $$ to support him then.
Haven't seen the whole video yet but if there isn't a Spaceballs joke I will be miffed
POV: You're reading the comments at the intro and hoping this guy didn't get miffed!
Spaceball combing the desert with a hair pick: "We ain't found sh*t!"
I'll send him straight to hifl if he doesn't
Were you miffed?
That little tangent about ships was great tbh I'm glad it was kept :D
Yeah, there are a million videos where it’s just “1 oz A, 2 oz B, shake, serve”. Those are boring.
The standard shipping container has made shipping much more efficient than it used to be.
Sid Meier’s “Pirates” is one of my favorite games of all time! Are you playing that on twitch?
Can you do all the cocktails from The Kids in the Hall skit "girl-drink drunk"?
This is a fantastic idea
Oh man, I would love to see this!
When Dave starts listing off the ingredients for his drink to the 'boss' I lose it every time!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really appreciate you clarifying about peach brandy. I've been feeling guilty for no reason about using apricot liqueur for tiki recipes that say "apricot brandy".
Last night, I made a gin and tonic on top of muddling (4 cape gooseberries, leaves from 1 mint sprig, and 1 lime wedge) in the shaker first, and it was *amazing*. I used chilled Tanqueray and Fever Tree Light Tonic. The drink had a beautiful clear pale yellow color from the gooseberries and it was just a playground of flavors.
That sounds lovely. I’ve been tinkering with a cape gooseberry cocktail myself. I love how tart and subtly sweet they are
Any time I hear tiki nowadays, I hear (and see) you singing the song from the enchanted tiki room
Dude you were the driving force in me setting up my own tiki bar! Love this video ❤
Dude was a legend. So many amazing drinks, so little time
Huh, weird to be hearing of the Cobra's Fang on this show after having it made into a character over at the Drawfee show
Seeing your reaction to the Missionaries Downfall might have been one of my favorite HTD moments in my two years of being a viewer. For a drink to bring that out it must be truly wonderful, so you’ve sold me on making it!
Bring on the tiki drinks. Always welcome a new tiki drink from you.
O shit i was just thinking of getting some use out of some inherited tiki cups
When Akvavit tho
This guy's backstory gives him some real L. Ron Hubbard vibes, except his crazy cult was tiki
And unlike L Ron his products actually worked as intended.
"I'm betting there's a good chance you have a neck..." Absolutely fucking killed me dude looooooooooooool
I READ YOUR COMMENT AS HE SAID THAT WITH PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION, SO MUCH SO THIS IS ALL CAPITAL.
I found a drink called "Quarantini" made for the confinement. I'm really curious, can you look into it?
love that Mel Brooks reference at the start; perfectly chosen
Hello, love your content. Have you ever considered publishing a book with your cocktail recipes? I bet it would make a great gift :)
The submarine bit is most certainly embellishment, I he was on a transport that was successfully attacked by an axis submarine he would most certainly be dead. If a submarine hit a transport (Liberty, Victory or other) the ship would most certainly be going down quickly. Also he claimed a U-boat attack in the south pacific... If he were in the Atlantic it would be more believable.
Can we get a “The Thing” cocktail?
J&B and possibly flaming?
Also human blood
When curiata delivers to Washington I am gonna get your whole set man!
I'm one of those that watches the show but doesn't really drink, and I gotta say that I made a couple versions of the missionary's downfall with fruit instead of booze and Greg's right, the drink's amazing. I'm probably not tasting what he's tasting, but it's definitely a cousin drink, and the texture, the freshness, the minty and grassy flavor, this is one of my favorite things to make.
I've been trying to get into Tiki lately and just bought Smugglers Cove book. My mind was blown by the ingredients and the overall mixology Tiki. Thanks for this video and the other related ones 👍🏻
Alabama just passed the law and we should be able to order alcohol beginning in October
Nice nod to Sid Meier’s Pirates there. Fuckin used to love that game.
Hi Greg
Deep rock galacting drinks: arkenstout, glyphid slammer, slayers brew and more!
hey greg, your absinthe, the "fée verte", pronounce it "lah fay v'air'tuh". it's close enough to the real french pronunciation.
source: i'm french, and that's the bottle that got me into absinthe drinking. french style, with the sugar cube, the spoon, and the fountain.
dammit...now I want some peach rings...off to the gas station
Noot noot
noot noot
Holy crap, I'm apparently the eleventh view. That's definitely a new record lol
Yooo that’s a cool pfp. Thought it was Sephiroth for a second!
@@DjurrenArt Aw, thanks! That's gotta be one of my favorite compliments 🖤 I've gotta bleach my roots again one of these days lol. (Am natural blonde, but it's gotten darker over the years) I'm probably gonna make a femme cosplay of Sephy once it's long enough, even though I don't go to cons anymore. (Ngl, I'll probably just wear the coat around wherever, as I do with my Martin cos lmao)
@@Daggeira You're most welcome! I'm pretty sure it'll be convincing with the coat! Do you have IG btw? Lowkeyselfplugcauseidoart
@@DjurrenArt I do, it's just Daggeira. I also occasionally do art lol. I've got a damn fine portrait I did of Simon Templeman on there somewhere. (2N edit: Ok, so I didn't post that there; that's on my DA lol)
EDIT: (also a plug lmao) I also have a gaming channel/twitch. Link for the former should be on the channel for this acct lmao
Hola there
a cobra fang cost $1.50 in 1954,
which would be $14.77 today
pretty much the same as the fanciest tiki bar in Chicago right now
I'd love to see more drinks that use orange juice or anything of the sorts. I lean more towards fruit heavy drinks.
3:40 Before Don’s Stories & Mythology....wait, that acronym might not work...
I always find your videos just before going to sleep and its the best feeling ever.
International Marketplace is still there! Looks more like a Mall but not just the Sacks 5th Avenue store.
Lol looked up fassionola syrup and Google suggested "Cap'n Crunch's Ocean Blue Maple Syrup".
Ya know some of your "Blahs" almost sound like Chef John from Food Wishes :)
Things I didn't expect to see today, Greg's Bare Feet.
A special treat
So people know, Vitamix blenders are super pricey but kick ass. If you use it regularly, might be worth it.
It’s one of the best kitchen gadgets I own.
...so there I was, standing at my home bar, enjoying a history lesson, eight or so minutes into the video, enjoying the biography of Donn Beach, and I realized I hadn't poured a drink yet! So, deciding this was going to be a history episode, I rewound the video a few minutes to listen again as I mixed a cocktail. And almost as soon as I finished, the mattress promo ended, and you started making a drink!
Greg, this is my long-winded way of saying that if you're going to make a drink, please do so early in the video so that I can follow along without jumping around and missing your history lesson(that I thoroughly enjoyed). Let's shake a drink up in the first few minutes, and then sip on it as we listen to you tell us about your chosen topic.
Can you make a nuka-bombdrop from the fallout 4 dlc nuka world
I went overboard with the Tiki thing a few years back. Have a Zombie tiki mug made by Vern Langdon, several Munktiki mugs including the one that caused me to end up with a case of Velvet Falernum (still have 9 bottles - need any?). Of all of the different drinks, the one that impressed me the most was a Zombie. I made one with the specific liquors and it cost me ~$170 to make, but just one and I didn't need any more. I live not too far from what was a Trader Vic's (wish I could turn back time) and still enjoy the cult culture of the whole thing, but it is no longer the centerpoint of my life. Enjoyed the video, history and humor and, of course, the slo-mo when you are pouring, sort of ASMR for the eyes.👍👍👍👍👍
I have made an order on Curiada. I was very skeptical when they said they could deliver to North Carolina, since my understanding was that it is illegal here both to send and to receive alcoholic beverages without a license. Perhaps the law has changed recently.
Greg, I really want to share the Missionary's downfall with my sister but she does not drink any alcohol. What would you sub for the brandy and rum to keep volume and flavor in a Zero ABV version?
Lemon Hart tries to be like the original Tiki overproof Demarara rum, but there is also Hamilton 151 that is very nice and not too hard to find.
Hmm.. is it time for a "drinks of the crew" episode? Where you make a spinoff of everybodys drink of choice in your recording crew?
That would be a cool vid
That last one sounds incredibly delicious without needing anything too hard to get your hands on...and the "stick to the bottom shelf" sidenote made me chuckle.
The Helix ad in the middle of the episode was absolutely HILARIOUS. Funnier and more enjoyable than some other TH-cam channels main content.
I actually laughed at loud when he made the “I’m assuming you all have necks” joke
Don the Beachcoomer
Quality Sid Meier’s Pirates reference.
Mad respect for the Mel Brooks references in the videos
Love the Sid Meier's Pirates! Nod, ah nostalgia.
Love this channel, and I've never done this before, but wanted to make a semi-endorsement for the Helix Mattress to corroborate the sponsorship endorsement. (I've never seen anyone else promote or sponsored by Helix before this). We purchased our California King Helix Luxe almost 4 years ago, and it is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on. After breaking my spine and undergoing total disc replacement, and several discectomies, the Helix is the first and only mattress to not cause me any pain from sleep. When ours officially dies, I will replace it with the same immediately... Anyway, thanks How to Drink for the awesome content!
Some Beach somewhere has done some of these things....maybe
He was sure an eccentric fellow- but man could he make a drink 🍹 num num num
Lol, you cracked me up at the end (and throughout, too), so thanks for that. 🤓
Greg, you started my addiction to tiki drinks. Thank you for further feeding that addiction.
I am not a drinker but having said that I love watching your shows your informative you've got a sense of humor it's just entertaining and mesmerizing to watch you do some of the stuff on here
Your Helix ad was amazing. Who did the writing?
Me!
"luh fee ver-tay"??? I love you greg but wow that was about as far as you could get from correct pronunciation...
That’s how it’s pronounced... in English
for what it's worth, if you don't wanna twist your mouth out of shape saying it, it's closer to "fay vert"
Honestly, I feel like I should have Reverend Horton Heath in the background when watching these, I have no idea why XD.
But I really like the historical bits of drinking, so keep 'em coming, Greg!... If you want to, of course :p .
That man could create drinks.
Honestly, I really wish that partner shipped to my state. I’ve been unable to find any true Demerara rums, be it normal or 151 for at least a year.
"Open-hulled, you have stevedores ...why am I talking about cargo ships?"
I just recently found your channel, but I will bet good money that you play D&D and you are the DM.
B.G. Reynolds fassionola is closer to the original.This stuff (coctails n sons) uses fruits (strawberies,pineapples)that were not used at the time (mid 1920 - early 30s) when fassionola was invented so the flavor profile is completely wrong.
Well, I tried the QB cooler. Ginger syrup seems like an inferior falernum. And while at first I could see the resemblance to the Mai Tai, it quickly faded. The more I drank the less like a Mai Tai it seemed. No creaminess from the orgeat, too much spiciness, too many flavors muddled together. It wasn't a bad drink, I don't regret making it. But I don't think I'll ever make it again, and I will keep making my weekly Mai Tai.
You has the perfect BC/AD reference in Beach Comber and After Don. BC would be everything that supposedly happened Before he got to California and founded Don's Beach Comber. Before California. After he changed his name to Don is everything else.
Thank you Greg, for reminding me that I need to watch HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART 1 again.
