Sailor Jerry n cream soda 🥤
Day 115 of asking for perk a colas part 2
My favorite at the moment is a rum old fashioned, usually with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.
My new favorite rum drink is the painkiller after watching your video on it. I had not heard of it before. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and teaching me how to make it.
Mai Tai!
Then pain killer
The problem with the new camera angle is that I've gotten so used to Greg staring right into my eyes that I get jealous of whoever he's looking at during the angle change.
Yes!! He just needs to look at the camera and cut to it then
Yeah, I love this show for how genuine Greg is. The new camera angle just makes it feel less personal.
Could do an office vibe where he specifically looks into the other angle camera.
Hahahaha
Super awkward. They should stop that.
Don't mind me, just engaging with the algorithm so Greg makes more top 3s.
Indubitably
I agree 💯
Top 3 tequila drinks next please!
@@danpalchak6916 why yes, that would be lovely
👍😊
Yes!! More top 3's please!
Whiskey next, please
@@matheusribeiro6433 Fernet, mezcal, scotch, or Chartreuse for me
please!!! scotch would be sick!
I don't know if you've ever played Deus Ex Human Revolution but in it is three drinks from a club called the Hive each with there own description in game, the Slum Dog, Shanghai Gut punch and the Golden Phoenix Sling. I Just thought three drinks from a dystopian cyberpunk future game is right up your alley.
Great game!
This is a good one
This!
I'm Brazilian and your love for caipirinha makes me so proud I'll not even complain about you calling cachaça a rum, especially because It makes my beloved drink part of this episode
é bonito ver ele falando das bebidas daqui. kkkk eu imagino que ele curtiria tomar uma caipira num copão de plástico 500ml na beira da praia
I'm just curious but what is the reasoning of it not being a rum? Would you argue that rhum agricole is not a rum?
@@ozymandias3456 Gin is a clear spirit flavoured with juniper berries, but people don't consider it flavoured vodka even though it could technically be considered one, this is because the cultural impact of Gin makes it more important than it's technical classification, to me Cachaça not being a rum is kind of the same logic, while you could technically classify it as Rum just because it is distilled from sugar cane, it is not culturally considered Rum in it's country of origin, you wouldn't say Grappa, Brandy and Pisco are all the same spirit because they all come from different cultural traditions, likewise, Rum Agricole, even tho destilled from fresh cane juice like Cachaça, comes from a long cultural tradition of rum production in the Caribbean, thus shares mores things in common with other rums, as well as the same cultural space, it also has higher abv then Cachaça and, if aged, is generally aged in European woods, while Cachaça comes from a different cultural tradition in Brazil, this includes using Brazilian woods in barrels for curing (both in some light and dark cachaça) such as Jequitibá, Amendoim, Amburana, etc, as well as different destilation processes, usually done in one step, if you've ever tasted cachaça you know the taste is very different than rum as well, and while you could argue technical differences aren't enough to consider it a separate drink from Rum, the cultural impact of Cachaça in the Brazilian consciousness is as a completely different spirit.
Just a side note, I've spoken to my own boss to add caipirinhia to our bar menu (once our covid restrictions in my part of europe lift) and he's agreed ❤ he never adds anything, ever, but I made him taste it 😂
@@AtlanticGRW What a great explanation! Thank you for taking your time to share.
Doing Top 3's based on specific alcohols is a great format and when more (hopefully) comes out you also keep the 3 different ''styles'' of drinks. Having one of them being relatively simple also makes the chance greater that I've already got what I need in the liqour cabinet to try at least one of them out for myself.
2:14 The text flew by so quickly I thought the upper right said “Best soups?” And I got unreasonably excited at the possibility of watching you make a clam chowder.
I totally thought it said soup lol
Mmm chowder
Ok, so now we are talking... What soup has alcohol in it?
Binging with babish and how to drink crossover?
Mmmmmmm Chowda
Best rum drinks; nice, I should-...
__
Curse me and my love for drinking rum straight!
Big mood
"But why is the rum always gone?!"
I know your curse. All too well.
I do the same. Lol
What’s your favorite rum to drink straight?
This show really became comfort food for me. The music, the style of presentation, the humor, everything is just so soothing. Great work man :)
Your OG Mai Tai video made me survive lockdown and made Smith & Cross lots and lots of money. You’re the man brah
Same
That video made me start my own home bar, always always must have Smith & Cross and every Mai Tai ingredient.
Im a simple guy, I see How To Drink released a new video, I click it. This customer can wait.
Caipririnha is my favorite.
The first time i had them, I drank three in like 30 mins bc you cant even taste the alcohol. I took a nap soon after.
Favorite cachaca to use?
I literally had uncontrollable chills and shivers of delight as I watched you sip that Mai Tai! Tonight’s a Mai Tai night for SURE!
I have just spent all week searching for Mai Tai recipes and collecting trying ingredients to make them! So, this vid hit at THE PERFECT time!
Keep in mind that he uses about 3x the sugar as the standard mai tai recipe, which is already pretty sweet. So if you like his recipe, great. If it seems cloying it's because his 'favorite' drinks usually have a lot more sugar than standard. Which, in the case of the mai tai, is exactly how he made it but with 1/2 oz total of 1:1 syrup, not 1 oz of 2:1.
Sometimes I take breaks from watching your content cause I'm 16 and don't drink yet, but I always come back cause the vibes are incomparable to most other vids
You should check out learning to make shrubs that way you can make mocktails until you're old enough. Shrubs give you a lot of control and it's a premix thing that you can just throw into some Seltzer or Sprite anytime you're wishing you could have a drink.
@@angelwhispers2060 I do wish Greg did mock tails more often. Aside from the Kobold Cooler in the DnD episode way back, I can’t think of any.
@@Noon3rs he has a couples episodes under a short series he did called soda jerk. Which is more focused on soda. Some of the The Harry Potter episodes also have non-alcoholic options.
Greg's is not the best channel to learn about shrubs on. You're going to have to check out some other ones there is a good Channel called the modern Rogue that is more about teaching young men things that men should know. But they also do episodes on cocktails and mocktails.
Your note on sweetness reminds me a lot of my Brazilian family, who put so much sugar in their caipirinha that it tastes like lime kool-aid
You should come to Brazil (well, not NOW, but, you know, after the whole apocalypse thing passes) and do a taste test of cachaças! There are some real good ones here!
Great content as always!
Of the ones that might be available in the US locally, which would be your favorite?
@@rogercameron6912 I would probably use Leblon, Abelha or Novo Fogo. The best ones however are from smaller distilleries like Rainha, Serra das Almas, Salinas. Most of the ones imported to the US are from industrial production and are not quite as good (51, Pitu, Velho Barreiro)
@@lucas.coletti i didn't care for 51 when i tried it, it tasted like a freshly mowed lawn. Do you prefer leblon over ypioca?
Ypioca and salinas are the way to go when you consider industrial ones, but if you ever wanna try the real cachaça you have to search for independent distylleries scattered all over the country, eacho one with its own twist.
Come to Brazil and pass by São José dos Campos in São Paulo state and give a shout
@@drawingablankesq Idk if you're brazilian but 51 and ypioca are really cheap stuff here (even tho I use ypioca for caipirinhas at a party). In Brazil cachaça shines because of the idependent stuff, my favorite chachaça for caipirinhas is Princesa Isabel Silver, it's really good and fruity
Some of my favs, but sometimes, slumming it with a simple Myers & Coke is just perfection...
The Good ol Cuba Libre. Noice.
Huge fan of the 'Favorite Drinks' category. My first thought at the start of the video was that I wanted to see one on the drinks you've created for the show and lo and behold it popped up on screen as an idea so I'm hoping to see it at some point.
I love the effort put into production in Greg's videos. It makes his work so entertaining to watch.
I like the “Top 3’s” topic a lot! i think itll be a great way to get practiced with specific spirits. and the variations of the spirits
Greg, in reference to your comment on bartending and building your drinks from least expensive to most expensive, I had an epiphany on how this is a two sided coin you could reverse I wanted to share…
1. Least expensive -> Most Expensive = Less chance to waste expensive spirits if you mess up and have to start over. If you do, you’re only out some sugar, citrus juice, mixer liqueur and can always make more.
2. Most expensive -> Least expensive = More spirit itself goes in the drink. Think about it. Any time you pour anything into a jigger, pour that into your shaker and then turn the jigger back right side up for the next ingredient, there’s always a little bit of whatever was in there left in the bottom that gets mixed in with the next ingredient. So in essence, you’re using all of your good spirit instead of leaving just that tiny bit of good stuff in the jigger if you build your drinks as indicated in method 1. I call it the barkeep’s share when that happens because I throw it back anyway and enjoy ☺️.
My opinion, no wrong way to do it, and it might not make a dramatic difference, but just something to think about. All comes down to how confident one is in mixing cocktails, their preferred method of attack, and the viscosity of each ingredient. Something like Coco Lopez always goes in first in the jigger for me because I want al of it scooped up by the next liquid/ingredient. Home bartenders like us have a much less stressful environment and speed at which we must produce our beloved drinks. Cheers, brother!
that's a really neat way of thinking about it, you're totally right! i hope more people see this, i think it could be pretty useful
You're comparing a waste of an ounce or 2 or 3 to a few drops each pour. It's really very little, but also if you're just mixing cocktails at home, drink your mistakes. Even if you fuck up big time, you can probably make it taste alright
Daiquiri. 2.5 oz. Diplomatico Planas white Rum. 1 oz. fresh lime juice. 0.75 oz. Demerara syrup (2:1). Shake with ice for 20 seconds. Double strain to chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a very slim lime.
I was so happy to see the MaiTai recipe was EXACTLY as I make mine (although I seldom bother with the mint). I sometimes float passion fruit liqueur, but it really doesnt need it. The perfect summer drink!
As a Brazilian i got really confused to hear that cachaça is a type of rum, but I don't Care, it's the best drink in the world hahahaha VIVA A PINGA ❤️🇧🇷
oh i thought cachaça was a type of rum too, what is it then? some sort of schnapps?
@@tamedpassions9523 Cachaça is like tequila. It's an entirely different fermented product that goes into the still, so it's a different final spirit. You wouldn't call tequila (or more broadly, mezcal) a type of rum just because it's a distilled non-grain spirit that doesn't require aging, so why is cachaça being simplified? It's like saying brandy is just grape rum. Just because molasses and cane juice are both derivatives of sugarcane doesn't mean their spirits are the same.
Here in the UK it's really difficult to get cachaça, so if I'm making a caiparinha I tend to have to use black rum instead. Gets essentially the right flavour profile, even if the visual aesthetic isn't there
@@andrewcooper7256 youre making it pretty easy for yourself. People call cachaca a type of rum because it has the same base like rum agricole. Saying that would be like comparing it to tequila is not very smart, because tequila uses a different base for the destilation.
It depends whether you think rum is made from molasses, or other sugar cane spirits can be called "rum". I tend to think not. We don't confuse whisky and vodka just because they're both made with barley, so why call cachaca a "rum"? It just isn't!
I haven't had many, but my favourite so far is a Dark'N'Stormy
highly recommend trying out a non-trademarked Safe Harbor. i usually go with el dorado 8 year and fever tree, with about half a lime's worth of lime juice.
I am getting there:
14g Smith & Cross
14g Flor da Cana 7
28g Real McCoy 3
14g Cointreau
25g squeezed key limes
20g homemade 2 to 1 Aztec Orgeat with Almond extract and Orange Flower Water
Best one yet!
I'm in complete agreement. My 3 favorites in the rum world. I would also say Mai Tai is my absolute favorite of all time. Paradise in a glass.
I practically have a tab open at my local Total Wine with the amount of Rum I buy thanks almost entirely to this channel and your myriad of other excellent videos on the topic.
My Total Wine loves me too.
Caipirinhas are amazing. I discovered them while on a school trip to Brazil and BOY HOWDY they are now one of my favorite drinks!
This is a video series I've been waiting for! Please make more of these.
Classic Dark & Stormy is my go-to
Simple but great!
Yes please more 3’s. ALSO please give more time per angle, and maybe have him look at the second camera when showing something on his shelf, or something like that. Could be used to broaden the room a bit. Love it!
I recently got a bottle of the silver Novo Fogo and fell in love with it! Drank nearly half the bottle in just a few days lol. That and the Barbancourt 8 year are probably my all time favorite rums.
I came up with this drink trying to bring out the banana funk out of the Cachaca as much as possible. I think you'd really like it! The Barbancourt also makes a bad ass mint julep subbing the simple for velvet falernum.
Funk Never Dies
1 3/4 oz cachaca
1/4 oz Smith & Cross
1/4 oz Tempus Fugit creme de banane
1/2 oz pure cane syrup
3/4 oz lime juice
Large lime twist
Optional: few drops of saline
I've been experimenting pretty heavily with drinks lately and found a combination for an El Presidente that makes my wife who dislikes most rum drinks that aren't super fruity.
Ended up with this recipe and my wife could not stop drinking it:
2 oz - Appleton Estate Signature Rum
1 oz - Dolin Blanc Vermouth
1 oz - Cointreau
0.25 oz - Grenadine
Stir over ice, strain into a Coupe, express an orange peel and rub the rim, Garnish with the peel and 2 cocktail cherries if you're feeling frisky.
This is absolutely my favorite drink right now.
There's a chance "rock candy syrup" refers to Belgian or German rock sugar! It's got a different sugar makeup and flavor, kind of more naturally brown sugary-y. :) I'll have to make a mai tai with it!
I’d love to see your favourite gin drinks
I really like the top 3 format. Thanks for doing this!
Yes!!! I like this concept Greg!!! Your favorite top 3. I also like the fact that you also mentioned your go to spirits for those drinks.
I was hoping the Queens Park was in here after your tweet! That's my current favorite.
Dan, I've been experimenting with the proportions of the ingredients in a Mai Tai, and my favorite is 1 oz. lime juice, 1 (full) oz. orgeat, 1 (full) oz. orange curacao, 1 3/4 oz. rum. In Vic's recipe, all I taste is the rum. I use the same brands of orgeat and curacao as you.
Fantastic episode! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Just the sort of video I was looking for. Keep up the great work!
Yes! You got the pronunciation of Cachaça! 😂😂 Well done!
Nice, I just discovered that rum might make my second favorite spirit, and here greg instantly delivers.
I'm really liking this series, I'm looking forward to the gin, whiskey and sour ones :D
Side note: I really like the new camera angle, but I think you should use it more deliberately,
maybe when you want to show us the bottle or garnish, or for little anekdotes.
In this one it looked like you just forgot about the new camera while recording,
and then edited some of that footage in, which is probably a lot of work for you that doesnt really add anything...
EDIT: I couldnt make the El presidente, but inspired by it I made something that I liked a lot, so here I'm sharing it:
"El Ingeniero":
1.5 oz Spiced Rum (something candy-like), 1.5 oz Martini bianco (white vermouth), 8ml Aperol, 1 barspoon peach sirup.
stirred. I love that one.
Awesome episode. Definitely a fan of the top 3 series! Keep em coming 👍
Revisiting this video again while shopping for the rums. The Mai Tai is so flavorful!
I would love to see a top three most approachable drinks for people who dislike the flavor of alcohol.
boosting this comment, i'd love to see this too!!
I don't mean to sound elitist saying this, but you'd probably be better off just mixing vodka or Bacardi with a mixer you like if you want something alcoholic that doesn't taste like it. It's simple, easy to do, and doesn't require any homemade ingredients. If you really wanted to make cocktails that hide the spirit, though, I'd say my 3 would be:
Tom Collins
Moscow Mule
Mojito
These all kind of follow the same formula of spirit-sweet-citrus-soda, but I'd say it works out to what it sounds like you're looking for.
I'm currently in love with the Planters Punch, but really I think I'm just in love with Plantation 5 year.
If you like the Plantation 5 Year, you have to try the Matusalem Gran Reserva. It's Cuban and is just as good, if not better. The price is a few dollars less too.
YES! Sunset Boulevard is my go to when someone asks me what my favorite movie is. Lovely.
Great vid. Always a good time and always informative!
Going to be a Mai tai night, and maybe also an El Presidente night...okay why not all three.
I clicked on this video thinking "I hope he includes the caipirinha." Then I thought "well it's made with cachaça, so probably not." By the end I was reminded of why I keep coming back to my love affair with this channel. That, and the camera shots, the fun dialog, and insight.
14:45 is a really good cut! Starting a new sentence, topic, and getting to making the drink flowed well.
These all look great! Of these, caipirinhas are my favorite. I haven’t felt like ordering superfine/caster’s sugar online for some reason, so I just run some table sugar through a blender and keep that set aside for caipirinhas.
i actually would love to see an episode devoted to blended cocktails if u dont have one already!!
You don't need the new angle on talking shots. The change of angle to the "pour shots" is enough camera change to keep our attention.
Agreed. Greg, if it's costing you more, it isn't worth it. Speaking as a fellow editor, and a frequent viewer.
Caipirinha is hands down one of my top drinks I love the most.
Love your style, passion and simplicity ! 🙂👍
Big fan. And, appreciate your commitment to your pronunciation of "orgeat." I just can't imagine any French people pronouncing it that way...Google translate agrees. French people agree. I'm sorry, I shouldn't press send. I should let it go. I SHOULD LET IT GO. Almost time for a man tai
Trying to let go of my comment...but isnt it pronounced OR-ZHAAT....not OR-ZHAO....there is no O at the end of orgeat...just saying
It is "Cai" like Kite and "Pi" like Pizza. The first syllable is the strongest, there's also no pause between the pi and "rinha". Just go for it and say the whole thing in one go. CAI-pirinha.
cool selection of drinks! love the different glasses and presentations on each of them as well. I especially want to mention that I am glad that you included a stirred drink with few ingredients for those of us without robust bar ingredients and equipment at our disposal. - such as myself in my tiny Tokyo apartment.
This was a fantastic episode, thank you, as always.
My favorite rum drink is the mojito. Now, I am really wanting one. I might just have to see about getting the ingredients I am missing.
I recently made a Mojito with a ginger beer instead of the club soda. Super good, kind of a mix between a Mojito and a Dark and Stormy.
My gf in the other room: who are you taking to?
Me: I’m arguing with Greg about cachaca!
You won the argument tho, Greg. I’m on board with the caipirinha being in the rum cocktail lineup. Love this too 3 idea.
Faço com Rum sempre! Chamo de caipirata. Fica ótimo com abacaxi
Mai Tai is the undisputed rum drink for me and also please make more top 3's it's a great concept and there's so many different types of liquors you could do this for
OMG so good! I took the dive and ordered everything from Curiada. A bit spendy but totally
worth it for what is the best mai tai ever. If you are thinking about using Curiada or making the mai tai, dont hesitate do it now!
I'm a simple man, I like Cuba Libre:
rum, coke, lime and ice.
No fancy stuff, just a fun, refreshing drink
Me who drinks almost no alcohol: "Hur-hur, pretty colours go splish splash"
I really loved this episode! Please do more!
I’d love to see a video on how to adjust and create drinks that are balanced and unique. Loved that short segment about adjusting the sweetness levels.
Calling Cachaça a rum is infuriating to me as a Brazilian because you’re 100% technically correct
Well, no because 'sugar cane juice' and 'sugar cane residue' are 2 very different things. It's like saying goat milk and dulce de leche are the same thing.
I'm sorry Greg... but cachaça isn't kind of a rum. The main dfferene between the two is that rum is made of molasses, which is cooked from sugarcane juice. Cachaça in the other hand is made from the fresh-pressed juice of sugarcane, called garapa. So, saying that they are just different types of the same beverage is like saying that vodka and rye are the same beverage because they are made mostly from wheat. Anyways, I'm happy caipirinha made the list, because it's just an amazing drink. In Brazil, we actually make caipirinha from many kinds of fruits. Like strawberry, kiwi, pineapple and even watermelon if you are feeling sassy.
Not all rum is molasses, at all. Agricola is fresh cane juice, lots of runs are made from a blend of fresh cane, refined sugar, and molasses. Really, I’m pretty sure *only* Jamaica uses a mash of 100% molasses.
@@howtodrink I guess my rum knowledge isn't that great, my bad. Nevertheless, cachaça is considered the oldest destilled in Latin America, it was invented during the early 1500s in a sugarcane mill in Brazil and rum was originated more than a century later in Central America. I don't agree considering them the same beverage, but if you are doing it, wouldn't it be more apropriate to say that rum is a specific style of cachaça than the other way around?
I can’t because my state sucks. Beautiful but garbage.
Going into the pandemic, I can not stress how much these videos and instruction really gave me enough motivation to keep--active--while under lockdown. Really instilled a passion for great, homemade drinks. Much nerdy love.
Had my first Mai Tai recently. I can concur! It is delicious, good sir!
Why's this unlisted? :s
Hey so the new Resident Evil is out, I was wondering if you would make some cool Resi inspired drinks. Maybe a Nemisis, or Lady Dimitrescu. Would love to see your creative juices in those kind of cocktails.
Didn’t he already make a cocktail based on the t-virus from the release of RE2 remake?
@@chestbumphero i think he did but hey new drinks my guy
The best thing to drink while you play RE Village is your own anxious sweat
I just tried the El Presidente with the recipe of yours and I love it keep up the great work!
Couldn't believe how much better your El Presidente spec is than the one found in Smuggler's Cove. Night and day difference. Well done, sir!
Yeah don’t do the new angle again
I love these videos. It has helped me so much figure out drinks I like and how to make them
Favorite Rum drink, at the moment, is the Jungle Bird:
2 ounces pineapple juice
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce SC Demerara Syrup
3/4 ounce Campari
1 1/2 ounce black blended rum
Caipirinha has quickly become my favorite drink, bought my bottle of Novo Fogo a couple months ago and it is the bottle that has the least left in it. Wanted to try it since seeing you make it because I love limes. Thank you for introducing me to it.
As a diabetic I sometimes want to drink. Your show allows me to do that in a nerdy no after effects kind of way. Thank you for making this show and spen dr ing so much time talking about how things taste.
This was great, top 3 EVERYTHING
El Presidente was one of the first fancy drinks I made, inspired by your video back then, and it's to this day still one of my favourites. It's so delicious and strong.
I’m young but it’s just so satisfying to just watch him make theses drinks and I love it
I had a "Planters punch" at a rooftop bar in the Key's that I fell in LOVE with. I have never had one as good. Whatever twisted they made I have not been able to duplicate it.
This guy is passionate as hell and i love it
Loved this video I’m going to be making Mai tai’s for my graduation party this weekend and thanks to you I’m going to be making them right. I’d love to see more top 3’s!
I would love to see more top 3 videos, Greg! Awesome video as per usual. Big fan of the second camera angle. Keep up the good work👍
Made my day thank you! Waiting for this
glad to see someone showing some love for caipirinhas. one of my fond memories from childhood was making these for my parents and family during parties. I would make gallons of this in the hot summer sun until the lime juice found ever cut I had and the sugar stuck my fingers together.
Gotta love the rum drinks. Would love to see more top 3's like this in the future
Enjoying your painkiller recipe after a long day while I watch this. My favorite so far but I see no reason to limit myself!
My favorite rum drink is the "million"The recipe and instructions for which I found on a bottle of Smith & Cross. A great rum, and a great recommendation. Thanks Greg!
Love this concept
Yes please, more top 3’s!
The Painkiller is one of my favorite rum cocktails. But my favorite stirred rum cocktail is the Crimson Slipper:
2oz Dark Rum
1oz Campari
.75oz Curaçao (or other orange liqueur)
A couple dashes of Peychaud's
Stir
Squeeze a wedge of lime over it and drop the wedge into the drink.
