JD's Appletini from Scrubs AND A Craft DIY version | How to Drink
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- Scrubs had a long running gag about JD ordering Appletini's, and today I'm making them. One standard, and one using homemade Apple Liqueur.
Scrub's ran on a couple of different networks for like, 12 seasons I think starting in 2004. I don't have my notes in front of me as I'm writing this and I'm too busy to check, but the stuff I say in the episode is accurate. :) Anyway, I think the joke about him liking Appletini's is pretty crummy for a lot of reasons, and looking back at that show for research from the year 2020 kind of made me recoil, none of that commentary made it into the episode though. I wanted to make the appletini and see how it is, I'm honestly not sure if I ever had one before or not, but ALSO tasting DeKuyper's Apple Pucker made me think about making my own Apple Liqueur, so the second half of this episode is all about me making my own stuff from scratch and then building an Appletini of my own design. Spoiler: it is better.
Appletini
1.5 oz. or 45 ml. DeKuyper Apple Pucker
1.5 oz. or 45 ml. Vodka
.5 oz. Lime Juice
.5 oz. simple syrup

Greg's Homemade Apple Liqueur
466 g or 17 wt. oz. Apple Stuff (peels of 4 granny smith apples, flesh of 2)
396 g. or 14 wt. oz. Everclear
Infuse for 24 hours, shaking every few hours.
Strain and squeeze apple parts
444 g. or 16 wt. oz. Sugar
1100 ml. -or 37.2 Oz. Water
Blend until sugar dissolves
6 g. or .25 wt. oz. citric acid
Add green food dye as desired
Makes approx. 3 liters of Liqueur
Appletini Heavy on the Apple
1.5 oz. -or 45 ml. Greg's Homemade Apple Liqueur
1.5 oz. or 45 ml. Applejack
.25 oz. or 8 ml. Lime juice
Barspoon of simple syrup (optional)
Shake & Strain
Garnish with maraschino cherries

Lovely to be here early , long time fan from spain over here , keep up with the good work !
PD: We need a Bioshock cocktail episode , plasmids have such a cool aesthetic and feel !!
Give psych a watch.
Hmm, I wonder. An apple GIN martini?🤔
Is this because I mentioned the Smokeaccino a few videos back?
I am adamant that "light on the tini" meant he was requesting a weaker drink in terms of alcohol content. The joke is he likes a "girlie" drink, but wants an even weaker version.
yeah my theory was that he wanted it like non alcoholic so he had a reason to hang out with his friends while not actually having any alcohol
I thought that was kinda obvious? Is there any real argument about it? (posting before having watched the video)
@@MissLeafi At about 1:20 Greg says that he has "no idea what 'easy on the tini' means," that he thinks it's just a throwaway line about JD being fussy, but perhaps that he wants his appletini skewed more towards apple liqueur than to vodka--but that ultimately he's just going to ignore it. (Posting after having watched the part of the video in question and heading to the comments section, having been a little bit annoyed at his reading of the situation...)
I worked on scrubs. This is correct about light on the tini
My interpretation too, the guy wanted kool-aid, or what we used to call sugarhol.
We had another nickname for these sorts of drinks, it rhymes with snitch sneer.
This was 100% the third or fourth episode of the night they were filming
Exactly what I was thinking!
More like sixth or more!
Was about to post something like this LOL
So accurate it's scary
Came to the comments looking for this message lmao
Chemist here. Ethanol is hygroscopic, however the reason that Everclear is sold at 95% ABV is because at 95% ethanol, 5% water, the two form an azeotropic mixture. An azeotrope forms when two different compounds distill at the same temperature. Distillation is used to make alcohol - by gradually increasing the temperature of a solution, you will evaporate off the ethanol and leave water behind, creating higher ABV solutions when you collect the re-condensed ethanol on the other side of your still. You can do this multiple times to increase the ethanol concentration. When the solution becomes 95% ethanol and 5% water, the entire solution evaporates at the same temperature, so the highest distilled concentration of ethanol is 190 proof, or 95% ABV. ~100% ethanol solutions are available for laboratory use because other things have been added to "dry" the solution, ie more hygroscopic compounds that will capture the water and incorporate water molecules into their crystal structure, leaving a dry, water-free, ethanol. So Everclear is sold at 95% because they wouldn't want to add drying agents to their liquor -- completing the distillation process to an azeotrope is good enough!
wizkid915 I love this and I beg of you to create a channel that explains distillation from a chemists view, I’d watch!
Woah! Thanks for the detailed explanation!!! :)
Thermal distillation like you describe has a really hard time getting above ~60% ABV. The amount of energy required to do that distillation increases massively beyond that concentration. Molecular Sieves are far more commonly used to increase concentrations to the 90%+ neighborhood.
@@nightcaste got 95% abv on my first run and 3 months later still getting it , the t500 is the best still for doing this at a reasonable price in fact if i turn it on and walk away from it for 6 hours i can get 94% so no idea where your getting your "facts" from maybe watch the still it channel or barley and hops or bearded and bored , all have sub £1000 stills and all hit azeotrope, at 95%
@@sangredemusica You should go over to NileRed, he made alcohol from toilet paper, and explains how the process works. He also has a ton of other great videos and projects he did.
Back in the day, in our rural area, the Appletini was basically half vodka, half sour apple liquor. So they were that unnerving Nyquil green color.
Yeah agreed.
"Does that drink come in hetero?"
"It does, but I don't like the taste."
"Easy on the tini," is a line that is meant to show that not only does JD like a "girlie" drink, but also that he prefers it's alcohol content low in favor of the apple flavor. Contrast that with Dr. Cox who is a "Manly Man" who drinks Scotch. Dr. Cox is who JD wants to be but is NOTHING like him. Even when he tries to drink Scotch he just lets it drain from his mouth back into the cup because of how strong it is. The line is to Tripledown on this dynamic.
Alcohol and water like each other so well that when you mix them, the molecules squeeze together so tightly that the volume of the mixture is less than the additive volumes of the two liquids on their own, and the temperature increases slightly due to the increase in intermolecular interactions, which is typically exothermic. My PhD advisor called it the bartender’s dilemma when he taught it but I don’t think that’s anything official lol. Anyway we used everclear in the demonstration. Next time you mix everclear and water in such a high volume I recommend mixing things in graduated cylinders because it’s a pretty cool (and easy) demonstration.
You'd get a more clean color and less fog if you added your citric acid at the beginning, halting the oxidation of the apples, and if you dissolved your sugar in the water over the stove rather than brute forcing it with the immersion blender!
“It tastes like wrapping your mouth around a whole orchard of apples.”-Greg

I was definitely expecting ahrange bitters once you brought up bitters, but all we got was "orange", whatever that is.
Sad reaccs only
MisadelphiaSAR 😞
ORNJ
I think "Easy on the tini" is just because JD likes his drinks sweet and can't stand the taste of liquor. The show has him cringe whenever he tries scotch or whisky, so it would make sense.
Could also be that JD likes lower proof drinks, him being not as jaded as cox that likes strong drinks like whisky
Going so far as to describe them as "yucky"
@@Lezzoboy98 And *THAT*, dear friends, is what we call characterization.
@@hunterfox6176 hell yeah what a great series
@@Lezzoboy98 Up until the last season, but we don't talk about that.
It must be said: Scrubs re-runs are vastly inferior to the initial airings. The soundtracks of each episode were so essential to the tone and feel of the show, but the execs cheaped out on the rights for reruns/streaming. It's all been swapped for junk music. Even a lot of the jokes were musical, the timing and editing worked hand in glove... I'm mad just thinking about it.
So yeah, I'm still a die hard fan, but you had to be there.
Dude. Amen to that. Do you know whether you can get the original music if you buy the seasons online or on DVD?
If you listen to the Scrubs Rewind Show with Zach and Donald podcast, they have stated that its not the creators of scrubs fault that the music has been changed. its just what happens after almost 20 years that its been a show.
but if you buy the DVD's they have all the music, as it was meant to be.
When Jordan was pregnant, they used “Mother we just can’t get enough” by New Radicals, and it was perfect, but then later they switched out the song and the moment was ruined.
Renewing rights for a show that no longer makes enough money to justify it isn't a good business strategy.
@@CommonApathy And as we all know,

Finally a Scrubs reference! Next up, Kelso's Bahama Mamas!
You want him to die?
@@ManateeOnRye yes.... but I have also drank stuff from a bathtub at some random guys house in college also I dried my hands on the blue towels in truck stops. So it might take a little more...
HE DID IT! Greg finally managed to build an entire cocktail without spilling any ingredient! Maybe the fact that everything was like 1.5 and 0.75 ounces helped, but I'm still proud of my boy
Rewatch the ice cracking... one chunk got away
@@donaldblevins5028 also some everclear, but at least the liquid stayed in. Makin' progress
And he was definetly buzzed and did it like that. Maybe his power grows from alcohol.
He made up for it by spilling while straining the apple liquor he was making
"It tastes exactly like a green Jolly Rancher." Excellent, that's exactly what I wanted it to taste like.
It’s always hysterical stumbling onto what is clearly their 4th or 5th shoot of the day... Greg’s had a few too many, and the whole episode becomes pure insanity...
It’s why I keep coming back!
As someone who has watched scrubs from beginning to end 8 times... HOW DARE YOU SIR.
Damn dude i couldnt do it once
Me, too. This is my comfort show. WHen there's nothing else I have to watch or I just need a good laugh, I put it on. I can't count how many times I've watched it all the way through. When I get to the end, I start over.
Same tho I always skip the 9th season.
@@cr1mssy491 What 9th season? ....We do not talk of the 9th season.
They never made a 9th season
Just FYI, the haze in the liqueur is probably "pectin haze", which apples have a lot of and is a common issue in homebrewing. I would recommend adding pectinase (pectin enzyme) and that will clear it, although ethanol inhibits the enzyme so it may take a bit of time.
Could you apply it to the apple before it goes into the alcohol?
@@marrioman13 If you mixed it in with water maybe, but I could imagine you may lose some of the flavor of the apple that way. It typically comes as a powder and needs to be dissolved in some sort of solution to be active.
It also takes a little time to do its thing, about a day, and works best around room temperature or so. I made a carrot wine, and I pitched pectinase on the carrot juice/must/whatever a day before pitching yeast. I was really, really nervous, because it felt like a scary infection risk to leave it out without yeast. But I'm glad I did it, because soooo much cloudy sediment dropped out of suspension and I could just rack it off that mess.
@@antiqueChairman It does take some time with alcohol present. Thankfully, as long as whatever you use is sanitized, pitching pectinase should be fine as it is normally relatively sterile, plus the alcohol helps.
@@antiqueChairman Carrot wine sounds delicious
"The Scrubs ambivalence and calling it Milquetoast" Easy Laverne, you're a saved woman
At my bar we use:
25ml Apple Teichenne
25ml pomme syrup (monin)
25ml lime
25ml absolute vodka
And it’s surprisingly popular!! I think the pomme syrup makes a big difference. And then an apple-fan garnish makes it a little nicer to look at.
Take a shot every time Greg reminds you how much it smells like apples. Take two when he reminds you that it tastes like apples.
You realize you're trying to kill people.
"I have a lime, I have a knife." My brain immediately heard, ♫ I have a pen, I have an apple ♫
In point of fact, refining alcohol above 95% doesn't really have anything today with any hydroscopic effects... Rather, at a high concentration of alcohol, the mixture forms an azeotrope wherein the alcohol and the water have identical boiling points, rendering traditional distillation methods incapable of increasing the relative alcohol content. You would need to use something like molecular sieves. This informative comment is brought to you courtesy of Nile Red.
Upvote for science!
Bro I’m also a viewer of NileRed and when I heard him say you can’t go above 95% I was like, wait, Nile has a video making 100% ethanol. Greg clearly did not do his research
Biochemistry student here, came to agree with this.
Nilered FTW. Even my chem professors love him
During WWII US torpedoes used that 95% stuff as fuel, and the crews of submarines would use it as a sanitizer because they could only bathe once every three or four days.
They would also drink it and so the manufacturers would add bitters to make it unappealing to drink and it turned the alcohol pink. Instead they would just mask the flavor with fruit cocktail C rations
This is such a coincidence! Just last night I searched "Appletini How To Drink" and was disappointed there was no video. Imagine my surprise when I saw the notification!
The gods of scrubs and liquor blessed thee with the video 😂
Greg made it just for you!
Peychaud's bitters might be an interesting addition due to its anise-forward flavor profile. Apple and anise go together, and it's also alliterative!
BYE LIZZY WRONG SIDE
"Appletini, hold the 'tini'" appears to be just straight DeKuyper's Apple Pucker.
Came for cocktail entertainment, left with that AND cleaning tips. Greg, you’re a true hero.
I assume "easy on the tini" means less alcohol. JD is kind of a known light-weight. He's like the opposite of Dr Cox who likes his alcohol straight up.
The Appletini is my "guilty pleasure" drink. By that I mean my friends make fun of me for ordering it.
Your home made version sounds really good.
Greg I have just spent $$$$ to follow you through the whole tiki playlist. The Total Wine staff know me by name. The fridge is stuffed with citrus and syrups. Please, I don’t have room to store more bottles of homemade apple liquor.
That version with the homemade apple liqueur is so dope! Did my own variation on my channel recently using gin, midori and apple brandy. Definitely dig the non vodka interpretations of it.
I mean there's no explanation for easy on the tini but it's definitely that he's a wimp and can't stand hard liquor haha
Exactly
Yeah, I always took it that way. He's basically just ordering apple candy juice and what comes in the glass looks like straight apple pucker because "light on the tini" probably means hardly any vodka to proof it up.
As a fussy person who doesn't like martinis, but sometimes find theyre the only available option... can confirm. Good for those with weak alcohol tolerance. X3
@@ultimateninjaboi that's totally valid. I couldn't drink anything stronger than wine for a long time haha
I'm at a point now where I'm becoming a tiki drink fiend thanks to this channel, my dude, to a point where I'm gonna do a tiki drink party for my birthday this November. One cocktail I've tried, though, that I haven't seen your take on is a Rum Runner, using equal parts light rum, dark rum, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine. I felt like it had promise, but maybe I used too cheap a banana liqueur, because that's just about all I tasted in the entire cocktail. I'm gonna rebalance with half as much of the banana next time I make it, but I'd love your take on the cocktail, whether just a comment idea or an entire vid devoted to it. Anything for more rum-based tiki drinks for my new habit.
Can confirm, rum runners are delicious. I've also been on a tiki kick for the past few weeks thanks largely to this channel.
As a doctor myself, and a junior doctor when Scrubs was big, out of all the “hospital” programs, I think Scrubs gets the life of a junior doctor the best!
Might be interesting to add Malic Acid instead since that's the specific type present in apples (or maybe do a mix of both). Definitely giving this a try!
I always assumed “easy on the tini” meant “light on the vodka” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I always assumed there was Martini & Rossi Vermouth in it and assumed he wanted less vermouth.
@@scottl6665 nasty
Hey Greg, you can't really get pure ethanol by distillation unless you do some non-conventional things like adding benzene (DO NOT DRINK BENZENE) or pressure swing distillation. The way you can usually buy lab-grade anhydrous ethanol is through industrial processes that use benzene to break get to 100% ABV. That being said, there's still a very small trace of benzene left behind.
Reason being is that at 95% ABV, ethanol and water form an azeotrope. What this means is that the vapor composition coming off the liquid is the same composition as the liquid.
Before this point is the whole reason distillation works. I am going to be using moles for the bit after this. What you need to know is that a mole is a way of counting atoms/molecules. So if I say something like 40 mol% ethanol, that means 40 of every 100 molecules in the mixture are ethanol.
For 40 mol% ethanol in the liquid, that would imply ~60 mol% ethanol in the vapor. You can look at the graph for this by searching something along the lines of 'ethanol water xy diagram.'
Some ways you can get around this are molecular sieves (ceramic beads) which absorb the water, adding a ternary (third) component to break the azeotrope such as benzene, or changing the pressure along the distillation column (expensive because vacuum pumps).
The reason behind the 95% is tied to distillation and the fact that at 95% ethanol, the vapor phase and liquid phase have the same composition. Hence no seperation. it's called the azeotrope
Correct. Also, hygroscopic isn't pronounced with a long O like scope, it is hi-gruh-ska-pick. Regardless, sounds like a very successful extraction.
@@jasondworkin6597 true. although i hear it pronounced both ways, short o is more common (and I believe correct)
however, the discussion on why you would want increased ethanol to pull out the more hydrophobic contents is correct. and Itwill also extract the moisture from the apple. Interestingly, my guess that the translucency of the apple slices is from a collapsing the porous structure of the apples and the ethanol swelling it just enough to give it a uniform refractive index.
This has to be the last take of the session, Greg seem Three sheets in the wind. love it!
I wonder if the Appletini was an "apple a day" joke 🤔
Not only is this channel well-shot, well-written, and impeccably-presented; Greg also drops little interesting history or science facts in between getting sloshed, and seems like a genuinely good dude. Reminds me of a less-hectic, more interesting version of the old Three Sheets show. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
omg the music and just the whole area is so satisfying and comfortable!
Hey, medical doctor here
Don’t worry, it’s true. We drink a lot
Love your videos Greg! You've really got me into the cocktail game!! Would you ever collab with a gaming channel?
Sure!
Scrubs is my favorite show of all time!! Never had an appletini, don't know if I'd ever go out of my way to try one, but it looks tasty!
On a different note, you should totally make the Pegleg Potion as described in the Alestorm song of the same name!
I love you Greg! I've watched several videos on CZcams about making tinctures with Everclear but never had anyone explain why it worked for extracting the essence of what you soak. Many thought vodka would work. Thank you for being a knowledgeable instructor. Please consider doing videos about alcohol as medicine. Old prescriptions and recipes for "health". I love the history you share!
Better be neon green!! Oh god what am I saying 😂🍸
Regarding sweetening your home made apple liquor, next time make a simple syrup with your measures of water and sugar and mix that into your unproofed liquor, that way you don't have to mess around with an immersion blender
I would like to thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of cocktails! I have been a beer drinking pot smoker for 25 years and have found a new passion..COCKTAILS!!! I love the show!!
I love how these videos always sway my grocery lists. After the gimlet episode I found where to buy citric acid (I will never not have homemade lime cordial in my fridge now), I bought 3 pounds of ginger to make my own syrup (apparently I don't know what a pound feels like...) and now I find myself thinking: "I should buy some apples..."
"Vodka is Vodka"
~*Offended Russian noises*~
Well the russian vodkas are usually the cheapest ones so that's good for them. No reason to shell out for fucking Tito's
The homemade apple liquor appletini looks divine!! Curious to try it with a spritz of absinthe on the top :)
absinthe plays well with citrus, but if its literally a spritz, like from a spray/atomizer, I think it might do well.
KMal1337 Yep! Just a spritz on top 😊
If you really want to go down an *all* apple rout, I would suggest playing around with Malic Acid as opposed to citric, as that is the acid that really gives green apples their iconic tartness, as opposed to the sour from citrus. Hell, malic acid was first isolated from apple juice
Good to see I wasn't the only one having trouble saying De Kuyper Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps 😝 - glad you went the darker green, looked amazing with the cherry garnish, mmm! 👏👏
The Scrubs Bug sounds like a legitimate issue in some unknown small town
Scrubs is best show.
My favourite bit was when JD shooed the old gay guys off his porch and started clearing up and noticed they were drinking apple-tinis and wondered when they started drinking straight guy drinks.
Fear not Greg, I probably - no joke - watch about 5 hours of your show a day. I can't get enough. Decided to start actually mixing cocktails as opposed to simply drinking spirits and liquer straight from the bottle.
While ethanol is hygroscopic, it’s not really the reason why you couldn’t have 100% ethanol. The reason it’s mostly capped at 95% is because you can’t just use distillation to get ethanol any purer than that. This is because water and ethanol forms an azeotrope. Since the boiling point of the azeotrope at 95% ethanol : 5% water ratio is lower than the boiling point of pure ethanol, pure distillation will yield steam that is in the 95:5 ratio of ethanol to water. However, there are a few ways around this. One way is to make another azeotrope out of the mix by adding something like benzene, raising the boiling point of the azeotrope beyond that of pure ethanol and letting you get 100% ethanol. However, benzene might give you cancer even in super tiny doses that are in the margin of error for purification. The easier solution is to just use a drying agent like molecular sieves or anything else really designed to absorb water but nothing bigger. The only reason you can’t buy anything at these higher levels is that 1.) it’s expensive to make and 2.) no one really wants 100% ethanol except for a few chemists who can just make it themselves
You sound like you just quoted NileRed.
Leslley Scotte yeah that’s pretty much where I got this info plus a couple googles
Just gonna say I love how Greg is totally thrilled that his Apple Liquor smells/tastes like apples. I honestly want to try making my own now too. Now, the silly side of me came out, when he got so hyped about it! And I thought... I don't know what could have gone wrong for him in the making of it. But.... If it suddenly smelled like blueberries.... Something may have gone horribly wrong!
It kinda tastes like apples. Or more specifically, it tastes like a really under ripe "Granny Smith" (green apple) . Really tart and not very sweet at that stage.
I’ve watched this man on repeat whilst gaming for the past year. So wholesome and real!
Scrubs was something I "just watched" for a while until I actually sat down and watched it, same for Parks and Rec, Psych and pretty much all my favorite TV shows now and even this show. I'd see videos on facebook and kinda watch and then you made d&d potions and I subscribed and rang the bell. Haven't missed an episode yet and I've worked through your backlog.
*EAGLEEEEEEEEEEE!*
God i was so sad when scrubs went away. Then i got hooked on bones so it's fine i guess.
"easy on the tini" has always meant "easy on the hard liquor" to me. JD is a wuss and wouldn't want hard liquor like Vodka.
I've been waiting for a Scrubs episode! So happy!
Greg making his own Apple Schnaps : WOW This tastes like apples! Greg mixes the Apple Schnaps with another Apple-Schnaps: WOW!! This really tastes like apples! :D :D I love you man
Greg, please do a drink based off the Gelfling Essence from Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal (and Age of Resistance).
16:06 "Should've gone light with the tini."
"No Gods, No Masters" combined with the working class aesthetics of the Gin video I really start to like you more and more. ¡No pasarán, companero!
Is this why I was getting clips from scrubs served up to me by the algorithm and I ended up watching like 30 of them?
0:01 did anyone hear the extra 'hey' in the background?
Yep, sounds like a bad audio take or something. Wearing headphones and it seems panned hard left
This sounds awesome! How would you feel if it were turned into a sour?
Apple Brandy 1.5 oz
Apple liquer 1.5 oz
.75 oz lime juice
.5 oz simple syrup

You're legit my favourite CZcamsr at the moment, keep going forever my dude! Much love from sunny England 👍
On ethanol, 100%, & distillation: ethanol distilation goes to 95.6% max because of how the ethanol-water azeotrope has a lower boiling point than any other mixes, so fractional distilation ends there. If you want 100% ethanol you'd need a chemical bonding seperation, say magnezium sulfate or calcium dicloride, and making salt crystal complexes still the water is out, then filtering that, or by mechanical seperation using molecular sieves that trap water, which can be messy, but is "cheaper".
Ethanol won't "drink" the water vapor from the air, the salts mentioned above are much more "thirsty" by comparison and will desacate a space if providding enough time. Pure ethanol will try and evaporate away sooner than "suck" the moisture to itself, and we have a fire and explosion hazard there as well, reason why fume hoods are used.
Oh and drinking anything above 50% by volume is not a good idea, since your body is warning you that you are hurting yourself by doing so. Not just because it dehydrates you, but also how the body decomposes the ethanol to acetic acid means you are losing electgrolites and potentially getting liver cancer due to the intermede product, acetaldehyde, being a right nasty compound.
Thats enough rambling by a chemistry technician.
"Hey!, Weird" CLICK
"hey....... wierd" caught me off guard in the first few seconds of the video
I don’t drink much alcohol at all. In a year’s time, I might drink 4 beers and 5 or 6 glasses of Jameson on average. But this channel makes me want to start slamming cocktails at 10:00AM until I pass out and shit the bed 6 days a week.
A few shots of Bombay Sapphire in a jar of olives is the best drink I’ve ever had change my mind. Greg. Anything else.
I always thought easy on the tini meant make it LARGE.
I find it so strange that other people interpreted it differently!
Same.
Psych is also a good series but not sure on the drinks they had. Food though “quatro quesos dos fritos” 🤣
Pineapple...anything?

Man that hit me. I loved Scrubs growing up. I respect your opinion though, even if I don't share it.
Living on a farm I made my own liquor quite often with various different fruits. I also study something chemistry related(pharmacy) and feel quite informed in this field. But I never made the connection that you do not only use the ethanol to make stuff alcoholic and to preserve but through the ethanol being hygroscopic also getting the flavor out. One of the biggest aha moments I had in a long time. So thanks for that :D
Hey Greg, how about coming up with a "Snake Squeezins" cocktail to celebrate Wasteland 3? Scotchmo would be eternally grateful.
I know this is a drinking show, but you sound pretty damn drunk. XD
He’s completely sauced! This must have been an end of the day episode. I couldn’t stop laughing. (And do not envy his hangover...) 🤣
This is such a wonderful episode, as I am a huge scrubs fan
Love these kinds of episodes, mostly because you can tell it's a 'later in the day' episode after having only god knows how many drinks before this.
I’ve literally never heard the pronunciation “lick-ORE” from anyone else, ever. Have I simply led a sheltered life, and half the drinkers in the English-speaking world actually pronounce it that way?
"Liquor" is pronounced with stress on the first syllable; "liqueur" is pronounced with stress on the second syllable. They mean different things.
Aaron Rotenberg this. Lots of people in the service industry I know think it’s fussy and hoity toity to pronounce it like that but like...it’s how it’s pronounced lol
@@MostLikelyMortal They're different things, though? How could it be fussy to pronounce them differently when they're different words meaning different things? Like, liquor is just "distilled beverage". A liqueur contains sweetener, as required by the Tax and Trade Bureau.
Fredrik Backman I don’t pretend to understand it. I guess they think french-derived words means fancy and that fancy isn’t their thing lol
@@Narglesonamistletoe Well, if we're being linguistically pedantic, we could say they are the SAME word (liqor), just borrowed twice, at different time periods: First from Old French (liquor) and then again from Modern French (liqueur). Both come from Latin, basically meaning "liquid".
Definitely the "pretentiousness" comes from being associated with a Modern French-like pronunciation. (also, a "liqueur" is generally fancier, not just a simple spirit, but some kind of fruity or floral infusion or specialty flavor, right?)
Hey Greg. Everclear is 95% because it is distilled, when distilled from aqueous solution, ethanol forms a 95% azeotrope with water. At 95%, ethanol is no longer capable of sequestering water from the air in any significant capacity. For the vast majority of extractions, including apples, 70% ethanol is more efficient at extracting alcohol and water soluble volatile compounds.
Intereresting. So, is maybe 100 proof vodka the best thing to use? Or just get Everclear and dilute to 70% and then add whatever you're trying to infuse?
However much of whatever you want to use. The primary issue with 95% ethanol is that water soluble volatiles are restricted to the 5% water in the everclear. Adding some water provides a greater volume of water for those volatiles to disperse into. 30% is as low as most extractions go for the solute, so 70/30 is cherry. 100 proof would also work great.
I watched every episode and just finished it a couple days ago. I enjoyed the show for what it was.
Its ironic that you're doing this video now because I just started watching it again this week.
I love that you explicitly set out to make it heavy on the tini, but it came out so appley it was heavy on the apple...
Also known as easy on the tini 😂
Hells yes! I love Scrubs! Also, really enjoyed the making of your own apple liquor.
"Hygroscopy". Funnily enough, the "-scopy"/"-scopic" doesn't mean "absorbing" or anything like that; it means the same thing it does in "microscope" or "telescope". The word comes from the fact that hygroscopic substances were first used to measure humidity, although as far as I know alcohol itself was never used that way. As our esteemed host says, they'll absorb water from the air, and you can see how humid it is by measuring how much they absorb.
Yeah, I noticed this. Also, the pronunciation is hydroSCOpic, not hydroscoPIC.
This is my favorite channel that I can’t recreate stuff from. In three years, I’m making that butter beer from a while ago.
Watching you make the Heavy on Tini gave me so many ideas for a Autumn cocktail with a cinnamon simple syrup or something cider inspired with that apple liquor.
