That Irish coffee part is an excellent example of why Greg’s content is so great. With other food related channels you’d have either a parody channel where they try to fail on purpose or a serious channel where you’d never see a single frame out of order. On the other hand…Greg would just take the L and try again while still making sure to tell the viewers it’d be great either way. Thanks for the great content, Greg!❤
The “civilization in a glass” speech is genuinely something I think about a lot when having drinks with friends; it is a minor miracle that we have any of this at all, let alone *all* of it
Greg will regularly opine on all kinds of things on his channel but honestly I thought about just pouring some whiskey to just look at it. But its the middle of the work day and I can't just do that ha ha
Greg describing making bread reminds me of coffee. So you take this particular cherry. The fruit isn't exactly great but whatever. Then you take the pit. I know, the pit. You cook that pit until it gets hot enough to crack (twice if you like medium to darker roasts). Then you mash the cooked pit and steep it in hot water. And drink the water.
And it makes you BUZZ like a damn fly and you just. STAY AWAKE. Too much makes you jitter and poop yaself though. But it's safe pooping not dysentery pooping. So it's sorta fine to overdo. HOT. BEAN. JUICE.

The whiskey rant reminded me that crows are in some circles considered to be moving into their stone age (making tools, teaching, social dynamics, and I think fermentation of some fruits [don't trust me on that]) which I am ridiculously excited about
@battiekoda I don't have great data on it myself, I think miniminuteman or scishow mentioned it in a recent video, but don't trust me as I'm not certain where I got it from. I do know they make tools and some groups have started teaching their young how to make tools, the rest I'm less certain about
As a 90s twentysomething, any combination of lemon & rosemary feels spot on, in the best way. You saying that brought back memories of my first rosemary focaccia, first good olive oil, first actual parmigiana-reggiano, first balsamic, first cappuccino, all the flavors that seem so basic now were once “food fads” according to the less adventurous! Interesting too, how those flavors were integrated into “new American” flavors & no longer pigeon holed as Italian only.
I got into making cocktails specifically for the ritual of it. I find it relaxing, meditative. It's a form of self care with a reward at the end, a nice drink to enjoy. I told my sleep physician about how I've adopted it alongside my book binding and art practice, and she supports it. I do it in moderation, of course. But it's become a part of my life that I appreciate, and I keep a nice little bar set up in the house now. A lot of that is thanks to stumbling onto Greg's channel. Certainly one of the most approachable and charismatic bar keeping personalities I've experienced on TH-cam. So needless to say, I concur that a good spirit is good medicine.
When I went to Ireland everyone just called it Tullamore. One of our group (a newly legal smartass) asked to be pointed to the Tullamore D-E-W bottles and was laughed at by the locals and side eyed by the merchant.
this is why I love this channel. we get great recipes, amazing visuals, and philosophical talk about the sequence of events that lead to what we consider everyday things
"To say it right, you have to ignore the great vowel shift." I completely understand that. It just makes me think that it is a good name for a drink. "The Great Vowel Shift"
hunter gatherers collect seeds and grain to eat. they store the grains somewhere. the crushed up ones at the bottom of the pile get wet. natural yeast ferments the resulting paste. food runs out and they hungry enough to eat the paste, but they cook it first. bread.
yeah, in the show it's hot water, (clearly) vodka, lemon wheel. You added the rosemary and the simple, which I do think was clever. I'd say it's your drink.
@@SpaceTrollop Original anime. I haven't been able to bring myself to watching the live action thing. Even the positive reviews of it make me feel like it'd just make me unhappy.
That monologue is fantastic. Love the enthusiasm behind what a human achievement whiskey is. Reminds me of a wonderful paragraph in the introduction of the book Tasting Whiskey.
About bread, iirc it's considered likely it came to be because we already were making booze and wanted to preserve the ingredients in solid form-fermentation is super easy, the difficulty is in making it more palatable and safer to drink-so the same concepts are shared between making booze and making leavened bread.
As someone who lives in the PNW, im so excited for this. The nights have been in the 20s and Ive been drinking lots of mulled wine. But some hot cocktails will be nice.
on bread: the first breads were actually probably made not from grain but from something more akin to a tuber. grinding it makes it easier to eat - it's just pre-chewing - and mixing it with water and letting it dry or bake is a natural next step. that's all the first breads were. unleavened flour and water paste, baked on a hot rock. all you have to do to invent yeast is let it sit out for a few days and wait for it to start bubbling. boom. you've got bread.
20:30, ah Greg. My wife and I occasionally eat hard wheat kernels for breakfast. Yes, they have to be dried and then soaked in hot water/boiled but it's a lot less steps than the bread and they are not just edible but really good for you.
been here even before i was legally allowed to drink. i think it was around the time greg was in that small apartment in new york. love this channel so much ❤❤❤❤❤
110% forget Astro physics, I’m forever grateful for our ancestors who tried the crazy stuff and endlessly experimented to come up with such mind blowing masterpieces of culinary delight. As to the last 2 drinks. I make my toddies with lemon the way my grandmother used to. The lemon is absolutely crucial! I use the juice not the peel, but now I’m curious to a lemon twist. Juice from half a lemon, heaping spoonful of honey, a generous pour of whisky (grandma always used Jameson), and strong black hot tea to top. But the idea of using something other than whiskey: my friend a couple years ago was obsessed with making a hot drink that is not really my taste, but it was interesting. Not sure of qty or all the ingredients but if I remember right it had Gin and Jager mostly.
It is Tullamore D.E.W. You can get an Irish coffee to-go from the Buena Vista and they give you a tiny bottle of exactly that Irish whiskey. But you have to mix it outside. A delightful drink for walking about.
I made my own hot cocktail to sip while I watch this for a nightcap. It came out really good so I'm leaving the recipe here: 0.75oz Tito's Vodka 0.75oz Blue Curacao 2 Dashes of Angostura bitters Dash of lime juice (I was tired and used the bottled stuff) Tea Packet (I used Ginger Peach Tumeric but I'm fairly confident most herbal teas would be good here) Sugar to taste Top with hot water And if I remember it when I wake up, I'll call it a moondrop.
I'm a bartender from Russia, and we have a nice hot drink called "Trans-Syberian Express", it's made with brandy, orange juice, rosmary and most importantly sea buckthorn. It's crazy good and if you can get the ingredients, you should make one!
I have never felt more on the same wavelength as Greg than when he was ranting about the insanity of bread. I have, more than once in my life, legitimately wondered HOW we got to the point of creating almost ANYTHING.
Have you ever heard of huckle my buff.. it's a old warm cocktail popularised by Jamie Oliver for a TV show he was doing about regional food in the uk. Brandy ale and egg
I use La Perruche sugar cubes in my coffee and like them quite a bit. I'm not sure it's quite raw sugar, but it has a bit more depth than the old boring white cubes.
Not too long ago I’ve watched a TH-cam video on the history Of beer. I’ve always loved the history of alcohol consumption it’s almost as old (or dare I say older?) than humanity. Thank you for sharing that same Intrigue, love hearing the fascination in others
Perhaps try this version: 1.5oz Irish whisky, 0.5oz Amaretto, filter coffee, then shake heavy cream with a little Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) and float on top
Hi Greg. Great episode, as always. I've been watching your channel since the Johnny Silverhand episode (weird route into cocktails, I know). Your videos have taught me a lot and enriched my life by reminding me how to enjoy the simple experiences of using my senses. Keep doing what you're doing. P.s. I would love to see some more cyberpunk content some time. Oh, yeah. Here's a weird hot drink revelation I've discovered. Gammel Dansk in hot cocoa is inexpressibly good.
I'm reminded again, when you made the vodka toddy, that a hot gin cocktail would be amazing! I don't drink as often as I used to about once every couple of years but I definitely want to make one soon!
Come for the amazing cocktails and showmanship, stay for the brain wrinkling conversations and descriptions. I am on may way to demerara sugar cubes right now so I can also reach enlightenment.
Hear me out on this. For a variant on Fay's toddy, use gin instead of vodka. Maybe use normal simple but keep the sprig of rosemary. I may very well try that tonight after work.
I've been rewatching some of the classic "Cursed Cocktails" episodes, and it got me thinking: I would LOVE to see your take on a Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I haven't got the first idea how you would go about making it, all I know is that it should taste (and feel) like, and I quote: "Getting your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick".
For the Irish Coffee was originally made with Powers, specifically Blue label at the time, but nowadays the standard is Powers Gold label. Also, Tullamore D.E.W stands for stands for David Edmund Williams who was one of our great historical whiskey distillers. It's written on the back of the bottle, and if I remember rightly his "signature" is on the label somewhere too?
Your rant about humanity and how much land it takes to make a single bottle, and from that I did some rough calculations to find that one acre of wheat can produce ~1000 bottles (assuming no angels share). It also made me go insane for about 30 minutes until I could crank out this toast/poem, so enjoy! An acre makes one thousand bottles One thousand miles starts with a step So after this first we'll take shots till Of that acre there's no bottles left!
Thanks to your channel I've gotten REALLY into Tea Hot Toddy's. I've been using Evan Williams bourbon and experimenting with different teas. So far Black, Earl Grey, Orange Spice, Hibiscus, and pomegranate rose green tea all taste top notch. If I had to pick a favorite, orange spice and earl grey taste the best, maybe because the mixing of two citrus' just meld together better?
Greg: "Four score and seven years ago, we the people, pledge allegiance, to the whiskey, which shall not perish from the earth, so say we all!" Meredith and the editors: "Let him cook."
Call me a goober if you want but your regular hot coco mix made with the requisite amount of water/milk+a handful of marshmallows+2 oz of your favorite mixing bourbon has been my #1 hot drink for years.
Just throwing it out there that Sugar in the Raw is described by the brand as turbinado sugar, not demerara. To be fair, most people can’t really taste the difference but I’ve seen it described as turbinado having more molasses notes than demerara. Where as demerara tastes more of caramel. I’ve also heard some say turbinado is better because it comes from the first press - not sure that I agree with that though.
“This is civilization, in a glass” is the best marketing line I have ever heard in making one of these ASAP
That Irish coffee part is an excellent example of why Greg’s content is so great. With other food related channels you’d have either a parody channel where they try to fail on purpose or a serious channel where you’d never see a single frame out of order.

I love the ode to whiskey and all the edited in clips. I do love when people unapologetic love what they love. Rock on funky drink man.
19:00 Might be one of the most inspiring moments I've seen on this show or anywhere. Absolutely love it! Civilization in a Glass! Here's to you Greg!
Its funny cuz i often think the same things when doing research on cocktails 😂
Greg will regularly opine on all kinds of things on his channel but honestly I thought about just pouring some whiskey to just look at it. But its the middle of the work day and I can't just do that ha ha
D.E.W. stands for Daniel E. Williams, but it is marketed and generally called dew.
Thank you for commenting the answer because my brain kept just saying 'Deadly Éire Whiskey'
Okay that does it, the history of whiskey monologue put me over the edge. Joining Patreon.
I did the same. I don't even drink but once a month at most, but the presentation style, and that respect for history
That moved me enough to join, too. I would love for that monologue to be commemorated in a physical way. *Hint merch hint hint*
Greg describing making bread reminds me of coffee.
So you take this particular cherry. The fruit isn't exactly great but whatever. Then you take the pit. I know, the pit. You cook that pit until it gets hot enough to crack (twice if you like medium to darker roasts). Then you mash the cooked pit and steep it in hot water. And drink the water.

HOT. BEAN. JUICE.
Hey now, you can also dry the fruit and brew that in hot water and it's a really nice caffeinated herbal tea.
"I usually never have a problem with that" couldn't help but smirk at that.

Daniel Edmund Williams = D.E.W. is the former distiller at Tullamore. You don't say "dew" as its an acronym, but "dew" what feels good.
The adverts say "dew", so I think you're overthinking things.
Not trying to be an arse but an acronym is a word made from the first letter of other words and is said as a word. Webster defines it better 😬
I really needed that "Civilization in a glass" speech it was wonderful and fills me with hope. Thank you Greg!

I really need that monologue about the development of society to the theme song of Sid Meyer's Civilization.
I didn't click on this because I want a hot drink. I clicked on this because I'm a sucker for your content.

Hard times? Hot drinks? January has sucked, but damn.
You doin alright?
From the frosty shores of New Jersey, American's garden state fallow for winter, comes a comforting sound; its Greg, making cocktails!
It’s snowing here in the south crazy
Hope you guys are staying safe and warm!
My go-to warm drink right now is a hot buttered rum. I'll have to try some of these.

I've been making hot buttered beer and hot buttered mead this winter and it's a delight. There's something special about hot alcohol

Forever sending you Love, Greg. You were one of the catalysts in my love for cocktails blasting into the stratosphere
Loved the whiskey civilization rant lol
I agree fully, the history of spirits is one of the most interesting things one could study.
For the peppermint patty garnish you can sprinkle some sort of red powder over a stencil to make the top look like a peppermint candy

And I love it ❤

The rant on civilization in a glass is awesome and why i love this channel! Never change Greg your fucking amazing!
Did not have any heavy cream on hand but did have milk. Irish macchiato it is then!
LOVE the HTD app (joined the Patreon recently) and oh man, you have upped my drink game (and the cost-effectiveness of Friday nights)
@15:20 if you want that cube to dissolve, add the cube, then add a small amount of hot water, then stir, add the alcohol, then top off till full.
Love me a nice hot, cozy cocktail in the winter. Need to make a few more this season but I did rock some mulled wine thus far.

I made my own hot cocktail to sip while I watch this for a nightcap. It came out really good so I'm leaving the recipe here:
0.75oz Tito's Vodka
0.75oz Blue Curacao
2 Dashes of Angostura bitters
Dash of lime juice (I was tired and used the bottled stuff)
Tea Packet (I used Ginger Peach Tumeric but I'm fairly confident most herbal teas would be good here)
Sugar to taste
Top with hot water
And if I remember it when I wake up, I'll call it a moondrop.
I'm a bartender from Russia, and we have a nice hot drink called "Trans-Syberian Express", it's made with brandy, orange juice, rosmary and most importantly sea buckthorn. It's crazy good and if you can get the ingredients, you should make one!
I get a boost of well being whenever you post an episode. You’d swear we wer both gunna have a drink.
19:10 Always love when I spot a Buffett reference in your episodes, course now I’ve got Grapefruit Juicy Fruit stuck in my head
Yet he never catches on when I say we need more boat drinks.

I'm in San Francisco every few months - can confirm Tullamore is the standard.
your spiel on whiskey has sold me more on it than any advertiser ever has
That was amazing. Thank you for your work.
I love the chocognac. It’s just hot chocolate and cognac, orange twist optional. You can try quentão too, it’s like mulled wine but with cachaça.
Not too long ago I’ve watched a TH-cam video on the history
Of beer. I’ve always loved the history of alcohol consumption it’s almost as old (or dare I say older?) than humanity. Thank you for sharing that same
Intrigue, love hearing the fascination in others
I made a rum skin using Plantaray OFTD, demerara sugar, than both the oils/peel of a lemon and an orange. CURE FOR ANY ILL ❤️😍
I hope your intro with the song comes back. It always gets me in a good mood.
I mean, I came here because it's Greg and How To Drink... and Greg is a damn good bean when it comes to entertaining mixology.
I fell in love with whiskey skin the day I tried it immediately after watching your hot toddy episode.
Oh my god, that whisk(e)y diatribe almost brought me to tears. More of that!
So, I'm thinking Greg for the next narrator/announcer for Civ VIII
To stay warm this weekend, I'll bake sweet potatoes and then make pie. 🥧
If I had any rum, I'd put some in the pie! 😁
Yep- 2nd one looked great. Lucky to be in the Bay Area and love going to Buena Vista.
Perhaps try this version: 1.5oz Irish whisky, 0.5oz Amaretto, filter coffee, then shake heavy cream with a little Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) and float on top

How do you warm up a glass for Irish Coffee? Hot water rinse? Microwave?
Pour boiling water g water in, pour it out
@@howtodrink Thanks! love channel
hot water rinse
Hear me out on this. For a variant on Fay's toddy, use gin instead of vodka. Maybe use normal simple but keep the sprig of rosemary. I may very well try that tonight after work.

Its a nice warm 27° in Pueblo Colorado rn ☠️☠️☠️
But what’s the wind chill? It’s 28 but feels like 19 in Montana. Not too bad, walked the dog for her full mile lol, but I still needed wool layers
Your rant about humanity and how much land it takes to make a single bottle, and from that I did some rough calculations to find that one acre of wheat can produce ~1000 bottles (assuming no angels share). It also made me go insane for about 30 minutes until I could crank out this toast/poem, so enjoy!
An acre makes one thousand bottles
One thousand miles starts with a step
So after this first we'll take shots till
Of that acre there's no bottles left!
thats awesome!
Thanks to your channel I've gotten REALLY into Tea Hot Toddy's. I've been using Evan Williams bourbon and experimenting with different teas. So far Black, Earl Grey, Orange Spice, Hibiscus, and pomegranate rose green tea all taste top notch. If I had to pick a favorite, orange spice and earl grey taste the best, maybe because the mixing of two citrus' just meld together better?

Call me a goober if you want but your regular hot coco mix made with the requisite amount of water/milk+a handful of marshmallows+2 oz of your favorite mixing bourbon has been my #1 hot drink for years.
Just throwing it out there that Sugar in the Raw is described by the brand as turbinado sugar, not demerara.
To be fair, most people can’t really taste the difference but I’ve seen it described as turbinado having more molasses notes than demerara. Where as demerara tastes more of caramel.
I’ve also heard some say turbinado is better because it comes from the first press - not sure that I agree with that though.
I wish I could get my hands on the app. Maybe soon. These drinks look fun!

The crux of civilization speech at needs to be 19:00 needs to be a short … truly inspiring.
You’ve got to try the hot buttered rum from Smuggler’s Cove, it’s divine. Really good with a slightly fruity rum, I like Appleton signiture
19:00 oh captain my captain
