Blackberry moonshine Margarita;❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hear Boat Drink's and honestly I think of a rum punch
Colour of the Sun or One Particular Harbour.
Son of a son of a sailorman, and God's Own Drunk.
False Echoes is my personal favorite.
A fitting tribute, and a tasty one. I grew up on Buffett, Dad knew him from his sailor days in the 70s. But what stands out in my mind is how Margaritaville treated its employees here in New Orleans after Katrina. Before FEMA cut any check, everyone who worked at the Margaritaville in the Quarter had a couple grand in their bank accounts, and the guarantee that if they ended up somewhere with a Margaritaville location, they automatically had a job again. A lot of folks from that place went to Florida for that reason, and because so many had nothing, the Margaritaville gave them anything they could use from the gift shop on top of it. Branded stuff, but still, clothes. All of that was at Jimmy Buffett's insistence. He also drew attention to the oil spill on the Gulf Coast when few other artists were talking about Deepwater Horizon. He may have been beloved in the Keys, but NOLA knew him as one of our own.
Just to add on to this amazing contributions list, Jimmy Buffett saved the manatee! His Save the Manatee and Adopt-a-Mantee programs is where the vast majority of manatee conservation funding comes from. Manatees are doing so much better now than before the 80s when he started it.
@@brettbri5694 finding out about all this from what I used to think it was just a sort-of celebrity, I am amazed and humbled. The world need people that follow his example.
Jimmy is the patron saint of getting wasted on the beach and I think he'd really love this.
These are my favorite types of episodes - unhinged, random Flintstone’s Vitamin talk, good drinks, enjoyable drunk chaos - cheers Greg … and Jimmy 🍹
I’ve always thought that (like cyberpunk’s afterlife) a drink series for musicians that have passed would be a great idea. As for deep cuts I’ve always liked Migration and death of an unpopular poet
Migration is my theme song
I can't believe he's gone, I thought he'd live forever. LEt it be said that despite promoting and singing about a calm laidback lifestyle, the man was a workaholic and it's why we love him
Both things gotta be true. He did a LOT of sailing, and that takes a lot of hours, so he couldn't have been spending them all working. But he definitely worked a lot.
IMHO, it's a matter of loving what you do. If you don't love what you do, find what you love and do that.
I hadn’t been hit this hard by a celebrity death since Anthony Bourdain
I thought he'd live forever too! I figured he'd outlive us all. I guess he will though through his music and books all of us that love him. We will all now strive to Live Like Jimmy🤙✌️💙
@@howtodrinkand sailing ain’t exactly easy…unless you have the boat set up for easy sailing lol
I love episodes where you can see the moment Greg slips over the drunken edge. Great episode.
When talking about the Margarita recipe Jimmy always referenced, this is the recipe pretty much what everyone who went to a Buffett concert had running in their portable blenders. My parents and I were all huge Parrot Heads and, through several years, took the time to follow Jimmy through most of his South East tours. When I was just old enough to drink, I came up with a backpack blender that ran on a weed eater engine so, from 1995 until my mom died in 2007, we'd show up to several South East concerts with these backpack blenders walking around and filling up random stranger's cups. The last concert we went to in 2006 (the year my stepmother died), we showed up in a 30' RV and had 5 friends toting those backpack blenders around for the few hours before the concert.
I know there are several concerts known for their pre-concert tailgating but, in my mind, nothing will ever compare to a Buffett concert. Though there were numerous concerts I showed up without a ticket, I never missed a concert I attended and I never paid more than face value for the ticket. ParrotHeads are a different breed and, personally, I think the world is a little grayer knowing there won't be a tour next year.
We'll miss you, Bubba.
As a clueless european, my knowledge of Jimmy Buffett is unfortunately lacking. However, everything i have heard about him and his mythos just point to him being a real one. Just one of those dudes that will live forever in our hearts, like your Lemmys and Bowies. Cheers to you Greg, to the how to drink community, and to Big Jimmy himself 🍻
he was just a guy who liked singing songs and hanging out on the beach
Fantastic tribute…
Only Jimmy’s words fit how i really feel…
“He’s somewhere on the ocean now,
a place he aught to be,
With one hand on the starboard rail,
he’s waving back at me.”
The soggy dollar bar on Jost Van Dyke is such a good time. They have a chalk board on the wall where you can buy your friends a drink in advance if you know someone else who will be there later, then weeks/months go by and they can claim their drink off the board
that's amazing!
Bar near me took inspiration from that- you can buy a drink for a friend or for someone in a specific profession: bartender, tonight's music act, first responder, teachers (lot of those get put up in August and in May), people running the food truck out back, tip for the escape room employees next door, nurses and doctors (almost solely in 2020/1), etc.
If any of you haven’t listened to Jimmy’s new song Bubbles Up, I highly recommend it. The perfect final gift to give to the world that he clearly loved that encapsulates his message of “life can be hard, but there’s so much fun to be had, and love to give and receive that makes life worth it”
Being Florida-born, Jimmy's music was just ingrained into my psyche as "sounding like home." His passing has hit me pretty hard, and I don't even drink!
Leave it to Greg to make a fun & supremely heartfelt drinking video & tribute like this .
I love how much Greg love Ango. He tries to sneak it into anything he can.
Like Chef John from Food Wishes with cayenne pepper, or Adam Ragusea with white wine. Everyone's got their "thing" and ango is definitely Greg's
I'd love to see a series (or one big episode) of cocktail tributes to deceased famous musicians. Most have a favorite cocktail on record.
Whelp, Lemmy's is gonna be simple.
Long-time viewer, first-time contributor. I'm not exaggerating when I say this channel got me through some of the darkest days of the pandemic. Learned a ton here over the years, and hope it continues!
So happy to see this tribute! RIP Jimmy.
Also, to Meredith or whoever did the editing: loved the "Head hurts. Feet stink. Don't love Jesus" addition 😂
At the same time, maybe have them check what went wrong at 23:56? That was wild...
@@KingOfDomaWhoa! Missed that one, lol
I did the edit myself on this one, which is why it's a disaster
@@howtodrinkOh sick! Well, I quite enjoyed the asides, despite any other editing flubs. I wouldn't characterize it as a disaster by any measure, although I understand the self-criticism that comes with being a creative type. Haha
Cheers!
@@howtodrink it's all good! Can't grow if you don't know where things went wrong!
The "premium" Margarita I had at a Margaritaville arrived unchilled and unshaken. My wife's was similarly lukewarm (ice floating on top) and jaw-achingly sweet. We were very disappointed because we assumed they'd be on top of their Margarita game if nothing else. 😂
Dis you reject the drinks and return them?
They sound like a disgrace
The Margaritaville in Key West is the only one worth going to. They have actually good drinks and a slightly different menu. I'm sorry you experienced the worst of it.
The weekend Jimmy left us, my husband and I spent it getting drunk on a beach with friends, playing his music. I hope we made him proud, he always made me smile.
This is an excellent tribute video, well done!
Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I hope he felt that he had a good life all the way.
Thank you so much for doing this. Speaking of Jimmy's legacy, in reading trough literally hundreds of tributes over the past couple of weeks, it occurred to me that he had the uncanny ability to be everyone's hometown guy. Whether it was Miami, Charleston, Boston, Long Island, or even places like Cleveland, everybody claimed Jimmy. It's a fine testament to how his music touched so many people over the decades.
I am from Mass and I would have sworn he was a local until I looked it up a few years back. He just felt like the local to everyone and that's so great.
First of all, RIP to a legend. Second, the Dr. Teeth reference makes me want a series of drinks based on the Muppets.
A less liver-destroying version of the ol' 21 Rum Salute. Lol
This one did a good job of destroying me
@@howtodrink We appreciate your dedication and sacrifice
Great video, Greg. And great tribute. We're all saddened by the loss, but you've given us eight ways to deal with it.
Also, the visual glitch at 23:56 was really cool.
“Wonder Why We Ever Go Home”, specifically the version from You Had to Be There will always be my favorite.
In 1990 something Jimmy Buffett released a box set called boats, beaches, bars and ballads. In that box set was a book filled with stories and anitcdotes from Jimmy and in that book was his preferred Margaritta recipe, a shaken recipe. 2 fresh lime wedges 2 oz cuervo 1800, 1/2 oz Jose cuervo white, 1and 1/4 oz of roses lime cordial, 1/2 oz boles triple sec, splash of boles orange Curacao. Shake vigorously over ice, rim glass with salt and strain over ice. Squeeze in one lime wedge and toss the rind over your left shoulder.
When it comes to frozen margs, I always want more salt than they ever give me. I often tell them to sprinkle it heavily on top, and people just look at me like I'm crazy. I do get strawberry margs, but the salt just makes it so much better.
I made the coconut water rum drink last weekend and I felt the same way that you did. I swaped the fresh lime juice for Rose's Lime and added a half ounce of Malibu so you get the coconut. I stirred it all directly in the glass over ice and I liked it a lot.
check out the recipe for a Caribeno, which is essentially what that is. Except add in 1.4 rich demerara syrup. And according to my Smugglers Cove recipe, use a pot stilled rum (or gin!)...it's just supposed to be a super refreshing drink so the muted flavors aren't necessarily a bad thing
I opened CZcams to find a video of Jimmy's Autour du Rocher, and bam, this pops up in my subscriptions. Magnificent timing.
I met him when I was a kid, visiting Lulu's (before the renovation, back when it was basically a wood shack with a deck and a bunch of patio tables and had the best fried crab claws in town), and having grown up as a parrot-head I still can't believe he's gone. And now thanks to this video, I'm about to binge all of Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads. Right after I hit replay a couple times.
Godspeed, Jimmy, and a toast to Greg and Meredith!
Jimmy was a good man. I find it fitting that he went out on the friday of the long weekend markig the end of summer. That all just feels right.
Heading out to the big laborday weekend show
A nice tribute to mark the end of an era. I saw Jimmy a couple of weeks after Come Monday was released at a little hole-in-the-wall venue in Atlanta name The Great Southeastern Music Hall. It was the kind of place where you could buy an album by the artist and walk back to the dressing room to get the artist to autograph it. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I still have it. Didn't make it to many of his concerts but enjoyed the ones I did see. My pirate's hat off to you, Jimmy, RIP.
A buffet episode is a great way to go, these drinks seem amazing!
My favorite tropical vacation drink is a dark and stormy. Always blows whoever I make it for away. Only thing I really do that might be considered different is I ditch the bitters and go with lime juice. Gotta make it with a shot of Bacardi Black or anything equally dark and syrupy. Then maybe about 3 parts ginger beer and then fresh lime juice to taste. Idk why bitters seems to be the standard for this drink where I feel lime juice really makes it come alive and just makes it refreshing as heck. Love it!
Jimmy Buffett is an artist who connects me with my deceased grandmother (she was a full-on Parrot head), and it's been a rough two weeks, but this video strangely offered me some healing. Well done Greg! Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been.
I would love to see an attempt at the recreation of the various drinks of Deep Rock Galactic. I think there are next to no videos on anyone attempting to do so
"Barkeep! A Rock and Stone!"
This is a wildly entertaining idea. A game where you can have as much fun screwing around in the lobby, with crazy silly drinks, as you can actually playing the game is a rare treasure. For Carl!
Two things I've taken from this episode:
One, I need to have more margaritas
Two, I need to try Boat Drink
I'd shoot six holes in my freezer for that Boat Drink.
As sad as it is that Jimmy is gone, I'm happy that the man passed on into the afterlife with his legacy and fame still flying high.
May he rest in peace, and long live Margaritaville.
Came for the Jimmy tribute, watched all the way for your knowledge and flair. Best of Jimmy; book - A Salty Piece of Land, Movie - Jurassic World, Drink - Red Wine in a tin cup, Song - Pascagoula Run. Bubbles Up
So many Jimmy memories! The first concert I went to with my ex-wife was Jimmy at the Verizon amphitheater in St Louis in about 1997. Thanks for the memories!
The rum and coconut water is a drink called Bumbo. Traditionally served with nutmeg garnish, and you definitely want it sweetened.
I really appreciate this. I grew up listening to Jimmy Buffet and now I can do him a solid and enjoy some drinks in his honor. Looking forward to trying the boat drink!
Great tribute episode Greg! I grew up on Jimmy courtesy of my parents, when I was 13 I listened to his albums while falling asleep. Once I hit college I spent summers in the Keys and Jimmy was my audio best friend down there. He’s always been one of my favorites, and I narrowly missed seeing him live in Charleston. I’ll always think of him when sipping on a daiquiri or margarita.
As for my favorite Jimmy song, top picks are “Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season”, “La Vie Dansante”, and “A Pirate Looks at Forty”, but “Creola” stands above the rest. My parents named their first cat after that song. She was a beloved companion and traveled around the world with them before becoming my brother and I’s first furry friend. Fins up Jimmy, we’ll keep the party going.
I’m now going to be on island time for the rest of the day. RIP to a legend.
"Cant believe the old man's gone." I sure do miss him. Hes been a huge hero and inspiration of mine for a while now. I only hope I can live the way he did and live and die in 3/4 time. Rest in Paradise 12 volt man.
The amount of lyrics you use in this video is amazing. As a Parrot Head this warmed my soul. And now I have a list of drinks to try.
It was sweet to hear Greg has been influenced by Buffett. Embracing a joy for life and cultivating happiness is why I enjoy Greg's videos.
Great episode, really got the feel of Jimmy Buffet, and Meridith was knocking it out of the park with the captions
I was there for the parade! I had never been to Key West before, and just so happened to be down there for a work trip, and just so happened to arrive on the day of the second line. Had no idea it was happening until I got checked into the hotel... so of course I went into town to participate! It was amazing and I've got a bunch of video from it. There was even a clip with me on the news!
That’s amazing! I hope you had a great time
It was incredible! I admit I'm not the world's biggest fan of Jimmy Buffett's music... but I 100% am onboard with the lifestyle and the vibe he sang about. But the love the people of Key West have for him is palpable and infectious... and what an experience to be a part of! Unfortunate that it was predicated by the death of someone so loved - but it was truly a vibrant celebration of life. Genuinely a once in a lifetime thing. And even better for me personally because it was completely accidental and also because my job paid for it!
A small part of me was wondering if I'd run into you there. Alas...
Been waiting for this one! Thanks much, and may we all enjoy happily ever after every once in awhile ...
I would love to see what you could do with Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper Syrup or making stuff Dr. Pepper flavored. (Might have caught a theme there) Truly enjoy your content as a former bartender. Thank you.
I had a friend that swore by Dr. Pepper & Jim Beam. I tried it and it was Ok, but I don't really care for JB.
Dr pepper and soco is pretty great
If I'm feeling something sweet, I enjoy a Dr. Pepper & Disaronno. Most of the time, I prefer Dr. Pepper and a good spiced rum.
I'm a spiced rum guy, so I I can see that being good. have you tried it with a twist of lime in the DP?@@TheAceAdventurer80
Think I will with my next one. Thanks for the tip@@jackcrawford6078
a fitting tribute to a singular talent.
I wonder whether the "Lime in the Coconut" would be better with some cream of coconut instead of the simple syrup? It might add the sweetness you mentioned the drink needing while punching the coconut flavour up a bit more. I tend to buy the cloudy "pressed" coconut water as well, which has a little more character than the clear stuff. I might have to give that a try...
I love that you did this. Grew up listening to Jimmy thanks to my mom and we both enjoyed this immensely. Also a suggestion Mista GG and Scott Cramer other youtubers did a video where at the end they try to make their own drinks and I think it'd be hilarious if you watched that and gave your own insight.
"That's a thinkin' thought."
-Greg
Watching this video while at work, doing as little as I can get away with, like you and Mr Buffett would want. Power to the workers and power to good cocktails!
I finally watched a movie you mentioned (that I remember)!! I watched "Red Dust" as a part of one of my literature classes about Southeast Asia. We mostly read stories written by Southeast Asian individuals but we watched "Red Dust" too to get an idea on how American's perceived Southeast Asia at the time.
The Lime in the Coconut sounds similar to one of my favorite Hemingway cocktails, the Green Isaac's Special:
• 4 oz coconut water
• 1 oz lime juice
• 2 oz gin
• 5-6 dashes Angostura (drink should be a rusty rose color)
The gin doesn't overpower the coconut water. This is just a great summer highball.
It’s been a tough work week and I knew I needed a drink tonight, excited to try your Boat Drink later today. Thanks Greg!
The fact that I can get things like a Dr. Teeth referrence is exactly why I love this channel.
“I’m drunk. Smile upon me.” Is so funny to hear as I am also drunk watching this video
I just wanted to say that you nailed it with the music selection for this episode, I know you couldn’t actually use Jimmy’s songs, but it was definitely a Jimmy vibe.
As for deep cuts, I have a really deep affection for Jimmy’s cover of Jamaica Farewell. Mother Ocean might not be that deep a cut, but it’s hard to beat as Jimmy originals go.
Completely agree Greg, the dark notes in the Pussers rum works amazing. I make all of my painkillers with it...plus some extra OFTD because i can
Greg breaks out the nutmeg and somewhere Townsends' ears start ringing. 😂
Magnificent tribute to a magnificent man. he really knew how to live. Damn I want all of these right now....except the coconut water thing.
The coconut lime drink was a missed opportunity: It’s a Coconut Telegraph!
hey, 20 year old college student here. growing up i watched both yogi bear and the flinstones on boomerang, which was like a throwback cartoon channel that was popular ~2009. i also grew up on flinstone vitamins.
23 year old here also very familiar with both the Flintstones and Yogi Bear, I swapped between Flintstones vitamins and Looney Tunes vitamins for a lot of my childhood
I tell ya, those drinks sound AMAZING, and with LOTS of humor, too!
Hopefully Jimmy is enjoying a cheeseburger in paradise!
Pour one for the man who would save margaritas while running from pterosaurs. A real legend
What a glorious tribute❤
Jimmy Buffett may be gone but he is immortalized through his music
Man...I remember when you first started....so cool...1.68 million subscribers now.....good job
Editing Greg is killing it this episode.
I quit drinking but I had a rum runner to salute Jimmy, so fortunate I got to meet him one morning
Loved all the little Buffett references - thank you for doing this!
Great episode. I laughed so much and learned a lot. Loved the lyrics.
Fins up Greg! Great episode, thanks for that!
This made my heart happy. Cheers. These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes!
Everyone jumps to "Margaritaville" as the go to Jimmy song, but personally "Tin Cup Chalice" always spoke more to me. So I'll be remembering him with a tin cup, filled up with good red wine. Shame I'm missing the honeysuckle vine. I'll try to grow some next trip around the sun. Jimmy's music got me through a lot in life.
Drunk Greg gets philosophical and DAF. So much fun.
Always a pleasure to be early to one of these, hope life's going well :)
Thanks for the episode. I think I'm going to need to try the Boat Drink and the Bama Breeze.
Absolutely appropriate for you to do this ❤
Would definitely love to see you get some Miracle Berries, the fruit things that makes things seem sweeter, and try some very bitter cocktails/liquors and see how they change in taste. I think you would have some crazy reactions to it. Eat a lemon, it tastes like candy!
Wonder what they'd do to a trinadad sour?
For the Lime in the Coconut, I make something similar but add some ginger beer. You still don't really get the coconut but it does add some interest to it.
Favorite deep cut is probably Little Miss Magic or Peanut Butter Conspiracy.
I think this has to be one of the nicest - funest send offs for him I have seen.
Thanks! Fitting!❤
You know what this episode needed? A cheeseburger...
Had to drop a like before even watching this. Here’s to jimmy!
Great tribute!
Great episode, Jimmy was a man of the times, and one of the very few celebrity deaths that made me sad. Quick note: the Lime in the Coconut looks like a Caribeno, and according to my Smuggler's Cove book, you're supposed to use pot still rum (or gin!). It also uses 1/4 oz of rich demerara syrup.
Last time I made it, I think the rum didn't stand out, but it was super refreshing...but if you use a pot still, it might shine through a little more.
My deep cut favorite is tied between Barometer Soup, Migration, and super deep cut, Domino College
I don’t know why, but, in this episode, you reminded me of John Cusack waxing poetic about Jimmy Buffet. I very much approve. I spent Labor Day remembering all the happy moments in my life listening to Jimmy’s music. I also really enjoyed his biography “A Pirate looks at 50.” Worth a read.
Thank you! Great episode, Jimmy Buffett would’ve enjoyed this episode too!🎉🎉🎉
My dad loved jimmy. He was devastated when he heard.
Your Hurricane Cocktail is absolutely outstanding! Unfortunately since I live in a small town in NM, I could only get my hands on the McCoy 5 year old. Have the 10 year old on order.
I have a home bar in my house called FLOCKERS LOUNGE and your Hurricane is now the FLOCKERS Hurricane of choice with all credit going to you. Jimmy and Alan are well represented by your cocktail.
PHINZ ZUP!
unhinged Painkiller-drinking Greg is by far my favorite iteration of Greg
Wonderful tribute! My deep cuts would be "I have found me a home" and "No Plane on Sunday."
Come to think of it, it's 5 o'clock down in Margaritaville, let's go! See ya Jimmy!
Made your Boat Drink at home, an absolute triumph! I’m doing my own rif for our Oops all Pirates themed Halloween party I’m calling “The Black Pearl” with blackstrap, edible luster dust and a little “whole bushel of apples” garnish. Thanks, love the show!
