Bruichladdich distilery is pretty environmentally minded, they've reduced the glass in their bottles and dispensed with presentation boxes, source their grain and water locally and state they aim to decarbonise their distilling by nest year. Their Botanist gin is one of my favs and the Classic Laddie makes a mean Rob Roy.

Greg (AND hidden Meredith!), this was a fantastic episode as always! I really appreciate that the last video or two HASN'T been a BetterHelp sponsorship -- I think that's finally pushed me to join the patreon tbh, I appreciate the integrity even with a slip-up, and I'd rather toss in a few bucks than see you have to reach for sketchy sponsors like them. As for the carbon-neutral stuff, I don't have anything to add, but I'm a HUGE fan of boiling the planet a little slower! and a huge fan of the show! so an episode about things that boil the planet slower sounds like a GREAT win to me!! Keep up the great work, guys :)

It takes a lot of copper to poison yourself. We're talking, like, ten mules a day for two entire weeks, each of which sits in the mug for half an hour before the first sip, assuming you have a preexisting condition that prevents your kidneys from flushing excess copper from your body. It's a bit like the paranoia about mercury from fish, but even sillier. The alcohol will kill you first.

Diageo's new Bulleit distillery is carbon neutral. They use an electric steam boiler to provide all necessary heat inputs (most others use gas/diesel-fired boilers) and partnered with the local utility to have all the required sources to support that increased grid load be wind or solar.

Flor de Caña is both outstanding rum and an excellent company. Kudos to them and anyone else out there trying to do good.

It was released on a friday, but I bet this video was filmed on a slightly manic monday! Great vibes! Always look forward to a good gin and tonic, even if everyone calls me boring for it, I love em. A friend gifted me some James Gin (navy strength asian parsnip) recently, and its really good! I take my g&t long.

I recommend "For Whom the Bell Tolls", which is about the Spanish Civil War. I think you'll appreciate it more than some of his older, more contemplative stuff.

Whiskey smash is an excellent template for muddling whatever fruit is in season into the drink. Peaches, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and cherries all work incredibly well in this.

My favorite version of a Gin and Tonic for spring and summer is with Hendrick's Flora Adora gin, Q Mixers Elderflower Tonic water, and a dash of lavender bitters, lemon wedge as a garnish. I find it beautifully balanced and not too, too dry.

Historically, these episodes get more awesome and hilarious as he gets more drinks in him. It evolves from "this drink has notes of XYZ and etc" to "this is the good shit"

Maine Root Ginger Beer has got to be my favorite for any cocktail that calls for ginger beer.

A fun and interesting episode. Particularly amused by the "squares and rectangles."

Greg, what about a paper plane? But seriously, a nice chill video with some nice drinks, and again proving that Greg has a much stronger sweet tooth than I.

Please do an episode about carbonated cocktails!!! Even if not accessible for most, it could certainly be aspirational

We had a weekend starting with Tequila mules (with super juice), with some added Ancho Reyes and tajin for spice - which was great. Then moved onto playing 'Will it Mule?' to find our favourites. I'm a Kentucky Mule fan, but mezcal and rum were popular. Plum Slivovitz less so.

Ok, seeing the Dark & Stormy reminded me of a rum & lime juice cocktail I just recently learned about that I absolutely love. The Midnight Daiquiri. Besides the rum and lime juice, it uses burnt sugar syrup, and I am just obsessed now. Hunting for more recipes that highlight burnt sugar syrup.

My mom and my stepdad both love Moscow mules. A few years ago I made ginger syrup recipe from Cocktail Chemistry. You shake an ounce of that syrup with an ounce of lime juice and two ounces of vodka. Then you strain them into your mug and top with club soda. It's delicious.

On the topic of adding something to a gin and tonic, I've had great results just making a "martini" and serving it on the rocks with tonic water! Using blanc vermouth instead of dry works really well for this. Really nice and refreshing, and lets you sip and enjoy a little more slowly than a martini without worrying about it getting warm.

Definitely highly interested in a video on mixing new Gin and Tonic things, it's my brother's favorite so I'd love to see what could make it work in different ways!
