For the Browning Sauce in the Nuka-Cola Classic recipe, there's some debate in the Fallout fandom that it's a typo, and the author actually meant to put Browning _Liquid_ instead. Browning Liquid is basically just caramelized brown sugar and water, mixed into a thin syrup, and is used primarily to add coloring to baked goods. It's a staple of Carribean baking and cuisine, but can pretty readily be bought in supermarkets. And it makes a helluva lot more sense to use in a soda recipe than a gravy additive.

That would make a lot of sense - I found it strange that the recipe called for it, but given the amount of sugar, spices and fruit present the vegetal aspects are fairly buried and generally just lend a hint of umami to the total flavor profile, I can ultimately forgive it. Might just follow up with the author and see if we can't get a straight answer!

Frozen cherries, or any fruit, would actually be better than fresh. Frozen fruit is usually harvested and frozen very quickly which keeps in it's flavor and nutrients. With fresh cherries they could have spent weeks in transit, storage and sitting out which would mean less flavor and lower nutrients. EDIT: On a side note you should combine the cherry and vanilla syrups. I bet that would be really good.
@quenchquestdrinksАй бұрын
That cherry-vanilla combo is actually coming up soon - it was a Nuka-World blend called "Nuka-Love"! Also, totally agree on the frozen - I just try to make the recipes in all my videos to the letter so I have a baseline to improve on in potential future iterations!

Honestly I expected more sugar in Nuka Cola quartz. It's entire thing was that there were sugar crystals in the drink to create a feeling of quartz crystals when drinking. So it's essentially an oversaturated sugar solution.
@quenchquestdrinks2 ай бұрын
Kind of want to make a more lore-accurate version of this one now... can you point me to the source(s) that talk about this? The closest I'm getting on the wiki is that in New Vegas, the consumption sound effect was crunching rather than drinking but I suspect there are more direct statements about the quartz-crystal drinking effect. While I don't want to just make a crunchy carbonated syrup, I think a drink with large sugar crystals or something added as a garnish could get us closer to the idea!

Great video, but... I swear, I'm going to make my own Nuka Cola Quantum video... Because everyone who's done it this far, has done something objectively wrong, and it irritates me on a molecular level... Also, fun facts... Nuka Dark is just regular Nuka Cola with alcohol already in it... Either Rum or Whiskey (rum is the safe bet, because they literally released a Nuka Dark Rum, which had its own story worthy of a video) Nuka Wild is Nuka Cola Co. answer to Sunset Sarsaparilla. So root beer? Grape and Orange are self explanatory, in a similar vein as Cherry... But Victory is a true wild card, especially since Jones Soda just released that "Peach Mango" flavor... The only description of the flavor in-game was, "summertime in a bottle".
@quenchquestdrinks2 ай бұрын
Thanks! I want to make actually caffeinated versions of the ones that would have it, and I'm sure there's a way to potentially mess with a (potentially more stable) strontium isotope... probably still wouldn't drink that one though 💀 Working on all the ones you listed too so I can finally make the variants that are just blends of existing ones! Beyond the disaster that was the Nuka Dark Rum release, Nuka-Cola Dark was also confirmed by Fallout 76 to be a rum (or at least contain it and Nuka-Cola in some capacity) so I'm leaning that way (probably a dark rum, hence the name). The only addendum on Grape and Orange vs. Cherry is that Cherry contains some Cola, while Grape and Orange don't say they did (although orange did start as a pear-brandy flavor and apparently contains trace arsenic?). Gonna do Sunset and Wild together, and peach-mango sounds like it could be "summertime in a bottle" to me (at least Jones didn't just repackage an existing flavor like they did with their rendition of Quantum)! Appreciate the enthusiasm and would love to see some alternate takes on them! The recipes I've done so far are technically Vault-Tec's reverse-engineered + safer recipes, after all...

Are you adding the straw sucking sound? If not you need straws that actually work and don't seem to have holes in them. If you are adding that sound stop, what made you think that is the sound of sucking on a straw with a full glass?
@quenchquestdrinks2 ай бұрын
They're just glass straws - I did add the effect in post to cue that I was taking another sip in the event that someone was just listening rather than watching (otherwise it's just sort of an awkward silence). It's meant to be kind of "tongue-in-cheek" with a rather cartoon-y soda straw sound effect, but if it's egregious I'll dial it back on future iterations!
