CRANBERRY JUICE WITH ICE AND FREEZER-OVERNIGHT STORED PLASTIC JUG VODKA I use Importers so far.
Fantastic intro. Though tea and coffee have a loooong history to them, and water is going to be divisive going forward. Concept called "The Water Wars" makes me uneasy.
I can find yellow grapefruits in my town, so I could make these easier, but why? Oh and grapefruits are a natural hybrid between a pomelo & one of the bitter oranges you'd find in the Caribbean, idk which one, but yeah. Also fragrant, just having them in a room is perfuming the place
I would love to see an episode on the "base cocktails"... every time you (or other internet bartenders) are building a drink you'll reference it as a xyz build. An episode dedicated to those base cocktail recipes and how different drinks are derived from them would be super interesting
I just wanted to let you know that in your cosmo segment, there were a number of images that flashed underneath other images. The Sex in the City screen grab covered two images, and the rainbow room image covered at least one, probably two images. Is a small thing, but I thought it a good idea to let you know.
I know the intro was a bit, but honestly a series of videos deconstructing and actually talking about the flavors of simple ingredients we take for granted could actually be interesting!
I realy wanted Greg to explain how to make water. I'm always struggling with that
@@comradevodka4848 i recommend you speak to your doctor if you're having trouble making water
@@comradevodka4848 bruh i keep trying but the godamn hydrogens dont want to make nice and team up with oxygen
@@chton Is it blue?
I feel like flavored waters would be a great April fools video
I saw a theory about the Vesper not long ago: in the books he's an alcoholic, but in the movie the whole table orders the same cocktail after him and then Bond only takes one sip on-screen. The theory is that Bond ordered it so strong in hopes that the other players would copy his order and then everyone else would get drunk off of it impairing their poker game
Those theorists ain’t got anything better to over-analyze…
It's what I would do
It's like how one person orders a mojito everyone nearby does too, although that only serves to make the bartender want to walk directly into the ocean
@@Murderblondedoes it? What's so bad about preparing mojitos?
@@Tiishen Cuz they take a long time to do - making a couple is fine, but when you have like TEN and other people want simple stuff like wine or beer, the line backs up and you get in the weeds
Actually, a list of all the alcoholic coffees would be a great episode. From the classic Irish Coffee to the Chinese Coffee full of Baiju....😉
Not sure where in the world you are, but back in 1980's Britain we had a chain of steakhouse restaurants called "Berni Inns". Along with the desert menu, they had a menu of alcoholic coffees (Mum was an Irish girl by heritage and coffee preference) as a teenager I hated the things, and I still do, but my late great Mum had the wisdom to say "try it before it's tipped in the coffee". Thanks Mum.
And PBR Hard Coffee. lol
@@sd3457 British, like you. Yes, I remember Berni Inns, there was one near me at Tingley (sadly no longer with us) where a LOT of plaice and chips was consumed by me as a young child! I was too young to register the alcoholic drinks, but dad still has some Irish Coffee glasses at home, which get used about once a year!
Oooh and maybe one or two for espresso
A friend and i were very rough one saturday morning and were planning the pub for the football that day. Slid off the couch and thought an irish coffee might make a good livener. No whisky so we dumped a load of cheap aldi “rum” into some cheap instant and declared it a Carribean Coffee. Awful, 3/10, would not recommend.
interesting chemistry note - getting banana's from the vermouth + citrus probably means the vermouth base spirit had wheat as at least part of its grain base.
The side product esters from wheat fermentation when exposed to citric acid change to esters that the palette detects as other fruits (usually berry or banana depending on ph and other compounds present).
Glad Greg likes the Vesper today. I think it's a wonderful drink.
Casablanca is one of those movies that you hear about your whole life, eventually watch out of obligation, and realize it's actually 111% worth the hype.
Exactly. You think there's no way it'll match the hype, and it turns out to be even better - funnier, more dramatic, and more moving than you think it could possibly be.
Absolutely. I love the depth in the scenes due to the staging and lighting
I'm on the young end of the demographic mentioned, aged 25; I remember loving Casablanca when I watched it aged... 10? 12? I need to rewatch it because I can't remember much!
@@joshedwards7012 I was about 19 when I first saw it. Just showed the first half to my toddler. The greats remain as great as day one As Time Goes By.
If you wanted to make another famous cocktails episode you could do an entire episode on the drinks of Mad Men. It's hard to argue that the show wasn't responsible for the booming popularity of the old fashioned and possibly the entire cocktail renaissance. Don't forget to include the Old Spanish
also the gimlet, thanks to betty draper 😊
YES!! I want this video!!
A Mad Men centric/inspired episode would be AMAZING
Yes! Gimlets, manhattans, all the mid-century drinks became super popular due to that show, and I think it set the stage for the negroni trend as well.
And of course Roger’s drink of choice, the Gibson.
You should make DND/RPG Classes as cocktails! Like "The Rogue", "The Warlock", "The Druid", etc...
A cranberry french 75 has made its way into my quintessential thanksgiving cocktails list. Makes those family conversations that much easier to handle. Great show Greg keep doing the thing!
I made it using raspberry-infused tanqueray and it's simply amazing
something i serve at my bar is a raspberry french 75. a nice homemade raspberry syrup goes a long way, and i'd guess it would go better with gin and the bubbles, but i'll try the cranberry too
My favorite '75 has elderflower liquor in stead of simple syurp
I’m 63 years old…my 30 something daughter told me about your channel and I’ve enjoyed watching every episode! 🍸 🍹
So glad you included sweet vermouth on the rocks in this episode. I think one of the biggest tragedies in drinking fandom is that vermouth is just a mixer. Whenever I go to an italian restaurant that's what I order to pair with my food; except I enjoy it like they do in Spain: no twist and garnished with olives live a martini.
Chilled cocchi torino neat is heavenly
We'll put a slice of orange or lemon in our vermouths. Much more often than not and I've lived in Spain for a decade.
A glass of chilled sweet vermouth is also one of my go-to's when I'm home and don't feel like mixing, when I'm in the mood for it, of when I'm eating Italian.
@@erich851might depend on the spot - I've been served it with olives in multiple places
That'd be a marianito, which didn't come with olives when I had them in San Sebastian, but I can sorta see how that'd work.
Casablanca really is phenomenal a true classic!
Plus its been referenced soooo many times you'll be suprised
I've always had an interest in mixology but this channel has encouraged me to really pursue that interest and I'm currently lined up to be trained as a bartender at my job (I work at a movie theatre that has a bar). This channel has helped me with some techniques but more importantly, it expands my knowledge of ingredients and cocktails which is a useful thing to have (I want to get to a point where I can have a cocktail or two in mind if someone tells me the flavors they like and dislike, or even if they give me an "I'm in the mood for [blank]" sort of comment)
Right away from the beginning of the episode, I can really tell these will be just my cup of tea
Good call on the grapefruit! When I was a kid in the 1960s, people ate grapefruit halves with special spoons with serrated tips, and almost everyone sprinkled the flat top of a half with sugar before eating.
I think you can still get white grapefruit but they’re way less popular than pink and red varieties.
I was a kid in the 2000's, but we had a white grapefruit tree in our yard. I would sit in the shade and share one with my dog all through the last half of the year. We didn't have the special spoons though, just hands and claws. The sugar was optional, my dog and I like(d) tart treats.
My family never bought grapefruit because of the tree, so I don't think I even saw a red grapefruit until my 20's. I thought red grapefruit were something special, like blood oranges vs normal navel oranges, but I don't think I've seen a white grapefruit since I lived in that house.
We still have a bunch of those spoons. But I sprinkle my grapefruit with a little salt in stead of sugar!
My dad ate a white grapefruit every morning with those serrated spoons! I would try to copy him, and even with the sugar it was difficult.
Have those spoons and a very unusual serrated curved "knife". All plastic, and curved to follow the curve of a half of grapefruit... I don't know why you would want to scoop the half out as an entire piece like that, but that's what this plastic knife is for apparently.
Like a spork?
Hi there! You'll probably won't see this, but here, in North Eastern Spain (Catalonia), we have a huge sweet vermouth tradition. There are many cellars that make their own, so you can try the differences from one village to the next. And we drink vermouth on the rocks quite often, particularly in summer evenings. It is so common that we oft refer to the time before supper as "the time of vermouth" (l'hora del vermut), and going for an appetiser is very commonly called "going for a vermouth" (fer un vermut), even if you don't have vermouth with your appetiser.
In regard to your podcast: Jack Nicholson was certainly my favorite, if for no other reason than he got the best lines. What other Joker ever got to say "Batman... Batman... Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a *bat* gets all of my press? This town needs an enema!" Of course, Michael Keaton was both Beetlejuice and Batman, ("You know what happened to this guy, Jack? Well... he made mistakes. Then he had his [grabs a poker and smashes a vase] LIGHTS OUT! Now you wanna get nuts? Come on! Let's get nuts.") and thus holds a special place in my heart for that scene.
I don't know if you've heard of a show called Danger 5, but each episode features one or two cocktail recipies. Its an absurdist Australian comedy that I think would be right up your alley not just for the drinks!
I second this, and the best part is that most of the cocktail recipes are for "the perfect [x]" and come as someone's dying words.
Nazis in space
A+ show for many reasons, including 1) same team as did Italian Spiderman and 2) Matt Berry as their boss (complete with eagle head)
My grandmother just recently passed and her drink of choice was a white Russian, but basically in a pint glass. I got really good at making them in there.... Count quickly to 5 for vodka, 2 for Kahlua, fill with milk and if there's half and half, a splash of that on top. Stir with butter knife to reach the bottom of glass.
I'm outside your main demo (57, male), but this kind of video is the EXACT reason I subscribe to the channel, so more please! (I'm also a tabletop gamer and a film buff.) Thanks for all you both do.
Pink grapefruit were actually first cultivated in 1910 and specifically bred into the ruby red variant by 1930. It's not at all unlikely Hemingway had pink or red grapefruit juice in his drink.
As someone in my mid 40's, I LOVE Casablanca. I am surprised, to see your demographics being so young and lack of older, Gen-X ers. Nice to see the younger generation having interest, weird to see the older not.
Love your videos.
As a 30 year old, I LOVE Casablanca! Classics never get old!
My assumption for bond's specific drink choice has always been that its a deliberate choice that does 3 things 1 looks like he's drinking with getting him too drunk to function
2 specific drink lets him draw attention to himself and sometimes thats useful
3 if someone recognizes the drink it means they know about bond
Today on How to Drink we are going to recreate the classic "whiskey in a bottle" from my favorite western True Grit, specifically the Cohen Brothers True Grit, enjoyed by Rooster Cogburn
I would love to see some space themed drinks that are accessible for most people. With the announcement of starfield this would be exciting! Many thanks for your work!
Correction on the grapefruit thing, the red grapefruit has been around since the 1930's not the 90's. There's a couple of varieties, but the first one on record originated in the valley in south Texas in 1929. It's naturally a bit sweeter than the yellow or white grapefruit, and I think it's a little bigger too. The white ones are still out there they're just not as popular.
Vermouth (vermú) over ice with a slice of lemon is a super classic Spanish aperitivo. Nothing better before lunch or dinner!
Even weirder than everyone calling him Papa, Hemingway kept one of Ava Gardner's kidney stones as a sacred memento. She starred in three adaptations of his work, including the movie that made her a star, 1946's The Killers. She was introduced to Hemingway by the man who was, at the time, the world's greatest living matador, while in the hospital in Spain trying to pass kidney stones. They were friends until his death.
This is the first episode in a while that felt like Greg had fun. Love this jolly fellow.
I've actually been making Earl grey gin for a while. I remember you did a drink used them together and loved it. So now I just put some tea bags in gin to cold brew. Perfect with cold milk and sugar.
Fun idea for a good video; take a trip to one of the Asian supermarkets in your area and make some mixed drinks with some of the more exotic fruits that you can find in the produce section. I know in my area, H-Mart and Lotte are notorious for having some really cool and unique fruit and I'd love to learn what you think and do with them! Keep up the great work. Love your videos!
I finally did check out Midnight Local earlier this week. I went with "death becomes her" as my first episode, since this show introduced my zoomer self to that movie and I loved it.
If you're also into that movie, I think it's a great episode to start on.
I did rewatch the 1989 Batman in the past few months, so I'm excited for that episode, too. Hot takes are: Batman 2 is pretty terrible. Batman Forever is in its own way peak cinema, and it's fantastic.
Some vaguely interesting facts about the French 75 (the gun). It was the first mass-produced modern artillery as it's innovative recoil system allowed it to be fired accurately continuously without having to realign the gun.
The sweet vermouth is definitely a staple here in Spain. Not sure if younger people do it but my grandparents' age, it was the most typical thing to do before lunch. Even more so Sundays after church, go for a vermouth and then have lunch.
I was intimidated by the Vesper for a while, because it’s so boozy, but I finally had one a couple weeks ago, and now I can’t get enough of it. The vodka I think weirdly adds some sort of sweetness, the vermouth rounds everything out, and the gin adds the flavour. The lemon as well really makes the drink though, and if made poorly, can muck it all up. Great drink though, very underrated
A variant on the Vesper is the Green Vesper. Sub out the Lillet with Absinthe, and a lime peel for the lemon. Depending on your taste, you may want to drop the absinthe volume by a bit.
I loooove a French 75 and think they're deeply underrated.
You know, now I want to see an episode about questionable drinks from the movie "Cocktail".... Yeah, it might not inspire me to serve any of them but it certainly would be entertaining to watch. :)
I actually been to La Floridita, really cool place but I didn't order this particular daquiri.
My favorite "Hemingway" drink is without a doubt the "Death In the Afternoon" but the Hemingway Daquiri is very very good aswell.
I'm 62 and love your channel. I recently watched Casablanca for the umpteenth time and quoted it to a 29 year old friend who went on to complete the paragraph. It's a classic film with important historical references.
I have a great idea. "Famous cocktails of the film ages." You make it a series of videos, and each video is from a certain period of movies. Western, silent movies etc ... And then you make the cocktail that was made famous by the movie. Maybe add in movie facts and trivia?
Pink grapefruit was widely available at least in the 60s and probably before since it was grown as far back as the 1910s. Ruby Red appeared in 1929 in Texas.
Almost spat out my own drink when Greg said "bananas" with the sweet vermouth, lmao
I discovered Humphrey Bogart movies in general when I was in your predominant demographic group, and fell in love with the writing and style. I’d like to think HTD fans are doing the same because of you, Greg.
Apparently I'm not in your main demographic... I'm 46, I love Casablanca, and you're one of my favorite channels. Keep talking to us "old folks," Greg!
California "Sparkling Wine". It can only be called Champagne if it is produced in Champagne in France and its PDO.
This 👆
Far be it from me to criticize unnecessary pedantry, but American English vernacular speech is not subject to European trademark legislation, and "champagne" has been the American English vernacular collective noun for carbonated wines of all types for generations, whereas the very first "protected designation of origins" legislation was only passed by the European Union as recently as 1992. We can and will call it whatever we feel like calling it, we just can't sell it as such in EU markets.
You try to appear like a smart-ass but if you actually go to any establishment that trades in those products you will soon realise that that PDO and PGI are respected even across the US. So oftentimes US producers write names like (Champagne Style etc.) to avoid touching upon that. PDO and PGI fall under intellectual property rights, so simply seeing USA citizens laugh at it and then cry that countries like China are stealing your intellectual property and patents sounds extremely hilarious.
Jack was the best joker behind Mark and it is a very close second. Really the two are interchangeable.
Truly classic drinks. Love the thumbnail
I'm almost 70 and love watching your channel.
Have made many of the drinks on your channel.
I make my own version or change up some of the ingredients.
One of my favorite shows and still is The 3 Stooges. I've seen remastered versions in color, and those look strange to me because I am used to seeing their shorts in black and white. I've seen Casablanca ONCE a long time ago, but don't remember anything about it. I know I've seen it, I don't think I paid much attention because I was a kid. A great uncle I have that passed recently always talked about having me over and watching Casablanca. I think I spent the whole time playing with his dog, as I remember his german shepherd puppy he named Strawberry. Never remembered why.
I'm gonna go against the grain of a lot of the people here who apparently very much enjoyed Casablanca. You didn't miss all that much; there's some good specific scenes, but mostly the first two thirds of the movie do nothing, only for every plot thread to be resolved at once in about eight minutes at the end. You'd think it was Frank Herbert's first writing exercise if you didn't know it started as a play, because reading Dune (and especially God Emperor) is the only other time I've so strongly had the simultaneous feeling that something was too short and yet overstayed its welcome. It's an important film, an influential one, and not a bad watch either, but its pacing in particular kills it compared to other movies that have hit similar notes better since.
Speaking of the French75, earl grey tea, and weddings, my sister got married a few weeks ago and had an Earl Grey gin and tonic as a signature cocktail. They infused like 4 or 5 bottles of Tanqueray in a drink dispenser, and it was one of the bartenders' first night. Those suckers were at best 1:1 gin to tonic, possibly more towards the gin.
As a 19 year old cinema enjoyer, Casablanca is one of my favorite movies and I love black and white movies. Whoever says they can’t watch them is missing out on some of the greatest film experiences of all time, that’s just a fact.
Bond's martini is oft treated as a code phrase intended for either one of the people around the table or someone who had infiltrated the barstaff.
It's not really a white russian anymore per se if you do this, but replacing the vodka with coffee infused vodka really cuts back the sweet element from the milk.
Being at the deep upper end of your demo, I'd like to agree... Casablanca is one of the must see films of it's era. Well, either that or The Maltese Falcon. It's not like anyone is trying to get these kids to watch schlock like Cat People, even if it is a fun film too.
I'm so glad you did the French 75 from Casablanca! Two of my favorite things :D
For some reason, every Portuguese dude I've met who asks for a "Martini" expects a "Maritini Rossi" vermouth with a lemon twist on the rocks.
Those of us who’ve been bching in the comments about classic cocktails really appreciate this
My husband has just decided he wants to try the French 75. I'd be down. Carefully.
The first time I ever had one or watched Casablanca was a viewing party with friends. We dressed up and ate dinner, then watched the movie with French 75 cocktails. Everyone had at least 3.
Had CZcams been a thing at the time, the bartender (being the sole sober person in the room) would have had some glorious blackmail material of us singing along, crying at random parts, and quoting the more famous lines.
Waking up the next morning, most of us prayed for death. I had had 5, and just tromped everyone to the local diner for food and gallons of coffee.
I'm 31 and I love old movies. Casablanca is an amazing movie that I've watched multiple times.
In the late 90's during the swing revival, I could be found on Swing Night at the Green Mill drinking a Cosmo sitting in Al Capone's booth. Oh the memories.
There are so many great black and white movies! His Girl Friday is just electrifying, I have never met anyone who talks so fast - or so well
It’s always funny when Casablanca comes up as a reference for anything because I know of the highlight scenes but is just on the list of many to watch in the classics
I love that the tasting note for the Vesper maybe benefits from therapeutic tea was "Honey Ryder." Bravo.
Add a couple of dashes of chocolate bitters to your White Russian. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Love seeing you go through some classics again!
French 75s are provisionally banned in our house by my wife too, because two years ago at New Years, I made several rounds for everyone after dinner, and within an hour, everyone was on the couch, unable to move.
That being said, I think it is DEFINITELY worth it to use real Champagne for this drink--it's the ONLY bubbly cocktail that I'll always use real Champagne in (I usually substitute Prosecco for such cocktails). But there is something about the dryness of Champagne that really elevates this drink. If you can't afford real Champagne, at least use a French Bubbly, like a Cremant de Alsace, or Cremant de Bourgogne.
Also, I often use Citadel Gin, which is a French gin, because it's much more soft and floral than a London Dry, and makes this drink even more delisciously dangerous. And my Champagne of choice is De Margerie Grand Cru, because it's an affordable Grand Cru,...
Seen casablanca when i was 16 I'm 27 now would go back and watch it again in a heartbeat
At my work, we sell Papa's Pilar, and when I saw it was signed by Hemingway, I had no idea the connection between the author and rum but now it all makes sense.
Definitely should make this into a series! These are the kind of drinks that I love
Love this concept. Do another!
Love this! Would love a pt. 2!
i think first time i had a cosmo and i kinda was familiar with it but wasn't sure it contained cranberry, the hotel bar listed a black currant liqueur in place of the cranberry. i need to say that was actually a nice variation and i was surprised to later find out the regular ingredient is cranberry juice. thanks for this video it was really fun.
Very excited to watch!
Im a 52 year old male….not sure what demographic I fall into,LOL😂, but I LOVE your channel !! You’re entertaining, knowledgeable about your drinks… ohhhh, and funny !! I love to drink anyway…. So I have to be careful what TIME of day I watch these episode !! lol thank you for your content. LOVE IT
Have you ever done an Old Cuban in a video before? It was the signature cocktail at a wedding I went to last year, so Meredith's comment reminded me of it. Especially since I've heard it described as somewhere between a French 75 and a mojito, both of which you like.
Yay!! You’re back to making drinks again. Love this episode
I am willing to bet you if you ever saw the Randy Feltface routine "The Life and Times of Ernest Hemingway...in Three and a Half Minutes", a lot of Hemingway's idiosyncrasies would make sense.
Because that entire bit is TRUTH! In fact, some of things were UNDERSTATED!
The first white russian I had was at Dave and Busters that was made with shelf stable coffee creamer packets. Trust me, you can mess it up.
loved this episode, would love to see more like it!
This was a great episode. You made several of my favorite drinks, and showed me a few new ones. The Hemingway Daiquiri is one of our favorites because we have a 20 year old white grapefruit tree, and its fruit is super sweet! Keep it up, this is one the only channels that I am subscribed to on CZcams.
Another awesome video!
Hey! I'm 38! 😁 I made my own drink! It's kind of my white russian. It's called "The Scotish Pirate Creampie", It's hnoey whisky with a little pina colada and heavy cream. It's a dessert that really hits my saturdays 😃
Hey Greg,
as one of the 'kids' in your audience; I have an old movie recomendation for you:
Die Feuerzangenbowle 1944. The english name would be translated as "the Fire-Tongs Bowl". It is about an privately educated, successfull aurhor going to a public secundary school. Just to mess with the teachers.
I LOVE Casablanca. (I'm in my 30s) Loving this episode. it's a great reference for people who don't drink cocktails to show us roughly what's popular out there or at least well known. All with the usual wit and fun from the HTD team.
Great video! Ones like this are why I watch.
I had a spliced grapefruit tree in my back yard growing up in Florida in the 1980s that gave both white and red grapefruit. So they definitely predate the 90s.
I learn something new almost everytime I watch your video and I collect knowledge. Good job!
I'm 58 and I love this stuff.
For the white russian i Love to use cream. Don't use low fat milk. That tastes cheap and watery
Best you tube Chanel out there .🥃 cheers
Thank you for your work.
This was a fun episode. I haven't seen Casablanca since I took a film class in college a long, undisclosed amount of time ago, and I had forgotten about the French 75. This reminder will go well with my newly renewed affinity for gin. And I think a rewatch of the film could be a nice thing to go along with it.
How do you not have a drink recipe book of your custom recipes? A $0.99 app? I would love to have a database of your cocktails on hand when I want to get fancy. I’m outside of your prime demo, but I think others would agree! 😉
Thanks for al the work you and Meredith do!
Love these videos
The "Watch Casablanca" info pop up in the corner ROFL Love it.
I just realized I wasn't subscribed to you anymore, don't know why. I'm 50 and I love the channel.
Yes!! Great episode. And totally need to do the drinks of madmen next!! All those classics would be a great second episode!
I always make my cosmo with the 100% juice and some 2:1 simple. Comes out delicious every time!
As a 62 year old fan of the show, I have one argument for B/W; the one color you can't get on a color movie is (wait for it) black. Now the use of black, especially in shadows is more suited to the horror genre but it's also effectively used in Casablanca as well. (It should be noted that even TV was turning into color when I was a child although not everyone had color televisions.)
My mom makes a version of a white russian where vodka is substituted for coconut rum. She calls it a "Jamaican snow man".
