- This may be the straight-up tastiest meme spirits creation yet. And to think I almost didn't do this because I thought Cracker-Jacks were . . . crackers!

I often include affiliate links in my videos and descriptions. This will not change the price for you at all, but the seller will give me a small kickback. Cool eh? - Jak na to + styl
Caramel is cooked sugar. Molasses is a sugar by product. Molasses is used for rum. Popcorn is corn that been heated in oil to bursting, but still corn. Corn is used for whiskey. Love-Child is a whiskey/rum combo. Does this make Cracker Jack's alcohol the Step-Child?
If I were Jessies wife, id ask him nicely to try the same recipe with different yeast strains, the same yeast with different recipes and so on. There's a lifetime of rums, whiskeys and grappas to explore instead of macerating vodka and sugared popcorn. Jessie, please come back! Explore the craft, not the memes.
Las Vegas Distillary in Nevada has patented what they call Rumskey.
Mem spirits
Jessie needs to make homemade carmel and do a full mash and distillation. I wonder what the difference would be between that and a normal sugar wash? A smokey vodka? Something closer to rum?
I've done that and depending on how you make your carmel depends if there is a difference or not I add heavy cream to my carmel so there's a difference there
I have a home made carmel and rolled outs brew going Rite now First one I've done
what it sounds like what you are looking for is buttered rum. it isn't hard to make and omfg its amazing. there are some how to vids out there but simply. you brown a lb of butter and let it cool to around 130 degrees and pour in a quart of spiced rum hit it with a hand mixer for a few minutes and cover it and chuck it in the freezer for 2 hours. the fat from the browned butter will solidify on top. just lift that off and chuck it. the flavor of the browned butter will have been extracted and infused with the run. it will taste just like liquid Werthers candies. if you like it on the sweet side you can add brown sugar.
They used to come with a toy in the box 😸 definitely a nostalgic childhood favorite. ❤️from 🇺🇸
At first I thought you were going to mash the popcorn, but that got me thinking. I don't know if things have changed, but back in the day movie houses used to throw away giant bags of popcorn, whatever was left at the end of the night. Since Doritoes will mash and ferment I'm sure popcorn will as well.
Now all I can think about is making popcorn whiskey, maybe with a little discarded stale rye bread for spice. Trash to treasure.
The chemical change from the popping (disregarding the added oils) should in theory be akin to boiling them... So you're just going to make burbon :P
Saw the title and thumbnail and didn't even think this would be a Mean Spirits episode, figured Jessie would go all in and do a full run of this stuff. But since he didn't, he should do a full run.
I’m totally going to do this - I’m picturing this going down well in a chilly fall night by the fire. It’s a little too hot right now for liquid peanuts and salt - IMO.
Also!!!!! All of these meme spirit videos inspired me: I made Cracklin Oat Bran vodka. I’ve always loved the smell of Cracklin Oat Bran. Even with milk it was always a bit “over crunchy” for me, but the smell is AMAZING. I used a lot of your theory here Jesse and WOW! It did not disappoint. Triple distilled Cracklin Oat Bran vodka is a thing - a real amazing thing. Mic drop. Let me know if I need to ship you some boxes of the cereal to experiment with.
I don't think you will ever run out of things to distill if you keep doing meme spirits!
Hey mate here's a meme spirit idea. Noodles Vodka. Soak and ferment it then distill it. Will noodles even ferment and produce alcohol it's got wheat in it so maybe something interesting might come through?? Upto you if you wanted to add the flavour packets
Nothing makes me nostalgic for a treat that I haven't even thought about for almost twenty years like some whacky fun with Jesse and his distillation shed.
You guys are awesome! love the vibe between ya ! Keep up the awesome work !
3:45 literally that song was going through my head from the beginning of the video lol.
For reference, the reason there's no toy inside anymore is because the US government banned including non-edible stuff inside of food in like the 2000s in response to choking scares. So we also no longer get cereal toys and can't have normal Kinder Eggs.
I don't know if it would even work but for another meme spirits you could try distilling 100 grand bars
It also has ties to the US Navy, as the dress blue uniforms worn by junior enlisted personnel are also called "Cracker Jacks."
Now what you need to do is actually properly ferment, distill, and age crackerjack spirit
I can only imagine it would be incredibly delicious
Dude, amazing. I would 💯 buy a bottle of this! You’re onto something here!
Cracker Jacks is what it tastes like to go to a Cub's game as a child. As an adult, it tastes like beer, and later asphalt after being thrown out for being way too belligerent.
I have been watching this channel since before the grey in the beard... Wow time flies
Cracker Jack's are the shit!! I love that stuff
Great video and I always like it when the wife shows up. Love the way you two interact.
Cracker Jacks is part of my childhood, my grandparents always had them for us. Loved getting the little prize that came in the box.
Keep on chasing the love! ❤
Wow.. I live in the Pacific Northwest of America, and I grew up with Crackerjacks, and didn't think they existed anymore, as I've not seen them since I was a boy. Talk about a blast from the past. 😅
i remember as a kid I would beg my mom to buy me a few boxes of cracker jacks... we used to dump em out into a bowl. give em to my grandpa and then take the toy and enjoy life... good times.
That's crazy! I never would have thought to distill cracker Jack's.
Fun fact- the US Navy's dress whites are nicknamed cracker jacks because of the guy on the box.
Try skittles. Your welcome.
You make The World a better place!
I am kind of shocked nobody has pointed out Jesse thought Cracker Jacks were crackers. Which is a pretty funny fail.
In his defense, they're not a thing in New Zealand. I too, a 30 year old - learned today that Cracker Jacks are indeed not crackers.
What happened is the same reason Kinder Surprise eggs with proper toys in them can't be sold in the USA: choking hazard, so banned by the food and drug act. There was some debate until the late 1990s whether Cracker Jack toys counted as being "imbedded" but the company decided to err on the side of caution eventually and just shifted over to stickers, temporary tattoos and "pencil toppper" bits of paper, then eventually settled on the QR code thing once smart phones took off.
Meme spirit idea... What about just a straight up buttered popped popcorn (like the act2 microwave in a bag type) fermented and distilled... I tried a popcorn spirit in Thailand but I think a buttered popcorn spirit could be wild !
I loved Cracker Jack as a kid in NC USA thanks to my grandfather, who taught me knife sharpening by hand old school at age 10. Who knew? I was wondering if you included the peanuts. Amazing!
It would be interesting if you did a fruited sour mash ( let it ferment/sour for 3 months or longer) then distill it!
That’s brilliant!! Sugar corn peanuts, should make tasty whiskey ish
6:07 Flipping off the machine, are we?! That little bit made my inner easily entertained self laugh. It makes sense to me that original finished product wouldn't have a lot of caramel in it because dilution is what liquids do best. Heating the diluted sugar water, cracker jack liquid, wouldn't concentrate the original caramel flavor to the new spirit. Maybe if the ratio of cracker jack to liquid higher...
They were super famous like back in the 70’s
Another nostalgic thing from my childhood is fig newtons. Maybe worth a try?
I can't even eat peanuts and this sounds amazing 🤩
I wonder if you could achieve an American style cornbread whiskey, that could be a real weird hit. great work as always!
Cracker Jacks is the American version of a Kinder. when I was a kid t=in the 80's-90's they still had little plastic toys, then they went to wet on tattoos and stickers. Sad you don't actually get anything anymore but nowa days I make my own with a variety of nuts.
I thought you were going to ferment the Cracker Jacks like you did the breakfast cereals... Please do that. Grind them down peanuts and all.
Haa, you 2 are funny together. 😂
Maybe do a popcorn and freshly baked bread spirit sometime?
Everybody loves cracker jacks and I was a kid in Canada.
Meme spirits!!!!
make whiskey with cracker jack as the base..you can buy c j bulk
Now I'm curious about how that would turn out if it was brewed with rather than just distilled with. I'm also wondering if a 50/50 mix of the caramel and non caramel crackerjack spirits would taste more like crackerjack as the first was mostly peanut and the second was overpoweringly caramel.
Mixing them does sound like a fantastic idea.
When I was in the US Navy, I only referred to dress blues as "Cracker jacks."
The one time getting a little cardboard flavor works...
1:45 adding more vodka 😁
Being from NE America I always forget how many snacks we have in the country. According to lots of other comments, my Cracker Jacks would probably be salt water taffy 😅
Okay, I grew up eating Cracker Jack in Canada and I have never picked up the saltiness you are mentioning. Not easily found now where I am, but I will search it out and do a fresh tasting. I think the liqueur version would be awesome. It would have some commercial potential for sure. Now to get around the bloody trademark issues.
I expected this to be using the cracker jacks as the mash, think it would potentially turn out something close to bourbon? Still excited with the actual result though
In Australia, we have lollygoble bliss bombs, which are basically the same thing I assume you have those in NZ too
New meme spirit idea. Still the Carmel and green apple suckers
Never heard the song before and I'm surprised that there hasn't been a Meatloaf reference in the comments...
Corn Pops or Smacks cereals would be interesting.
Good show ol chap
First of all congratulations for the channel and the contents... Amazing :)
I'm starting to "play" a bit with a water distiller mostly for redistill commercial products and maybe add some flavours to it. In this case should i still make some cuts?
What happen if i try to redistill liquors or vermouth? Since they are not spirts, do they needs propers cuts during distillation?
Sorry for all those questions 🤣
It's still common when someone acts like an idiot driving or doing something else that needs education, to ask if they got thier license out of a Cracker Jack box of they are trash at it or being stupid.
They do still make Cracker Jacks but they mostly come in a bag now like potato chips. It just seems so very, very wrong.
Yea my gray is shining through also.
I thought you were going to actually make a mash out of the cracker Jack's and then distill it. you should do that!!!
I have an similar device this recipe is on the list
I seen peanut butter liquor here in the states... Now in the states we have cracker jill along w cracker jacks
Yuk yuk
Never doubt Erin
I haven't had a box of Cracker Jacks, since I was a little kid. I thought they shutdown. They used to have cheap little prizes in them. I noticed yours didn't, so I Googled to see if they still had them. Unfortunately, they stopped putting prizes in them... To be honest, I never liked Cracker Jacks, but I liked the cheap prizes. I imagine they stopped, because some corrupt idiot, probably made their kid choke on one, so they could sue Cracker Jacks.
Sounds delicious👍🏼
Do this again with all natural popcorn, peanuts & caramel.
Dammit now I need an airstill to try this lol
Thank you
There is a Peanut Butter Whiskey called Sheep Dog. 70 proof from memory but is smooth and tasty. If the wife is into Peanut flavour alcohol, grab a bottle of Sheep Dog and try replicate it.
I thought you were going to mash in Carmel popcorn and back sweeten with Carmel
Frangelico, sounds similar yummo
You should try fermenting with cracker Jack's lol
How many of my American brothers and sisters sang with the "🎶take me out to the ball game"?
I would love to see if you can distill from the rice based packing peanuts!
Please do Redvines licorice next
You should try this with Crunch n Munch to.
What about lolly gobble bliss bombs? They are similar to the cracker jacks
Hi, just a side note. There isn’t an s on the end of Jack.
They were popular in the 1920s maybe lmao 🤣
Next get 20 kg from the makers and add alfa and gluco 😉
distilled o infused cuz to my understanding distilling u dont start with a distilled spirit u start with raw materials, correct me if im wrong
Yeah, the boxes are smaller and no toys anymore.
Hey Man, Have you ever tried Palmyrah Palm Blackstrap molasses ? try it once it will give the best result in all...!!
Could you use lolly gobble bliss bombs?
If one was to scale this up for lets say a 5gal batch, what would be the amounts needed??
Is it possible to make a bourbon out of popcorn?
I love how Erin busts your balls. In the nicest way. Lol. Love it.
Can you use honey malt to gelatanize corn?
Where have you been?
Jessie, Could you do Gatorade as a meme spirit?
Yes, we still have CrackerJacks in the USA.
Try Hawaiian punch
Jessie..quick question if you dont mind. Have you ever used marbles in your column? Im thinking about trying to run them in my reflux. Your expertise is well appreciated.
your wife is American? i didn't know you had a mixed marriage. ok bad joke love the channel man.
Why am I watching this.
I feel sorry for any American that doesn't have memories of eating cracker Jack's and watching baseball with your grandpa.
Aw shucks
You should try jeffy jetpuff marshmallow and gram crackers plz plz plz 🙏👍🤘
