In today's video, we’re making every Nuka-Cola recipe from the Vault Dweller’s Cookbook! I’ve already made an entire video dedicated to Nuka-Cola Quantum (linked here: • FALLOUT: I Tried EVERY... ), but the other recipes deserved some love too so we're making Nuka-Cola, Nuka-Cherry, and Nuka-Quartz from the Fallout Cookbook (we'll also sample Merle's Very Cherry Soda and a more lore-accurate take on Nuka-Cherry).
I also thought it would be prudent to locate the coveted Nuka-Cola Formula; the quest "Cappy in a Haystack" from the Fallout 4 Nuka-World DLC could help us find it through a contest put on by Nuka-Cola Corporation CEO John-Caleb Bradberton before the Great War that Sierra Petrovita told us about (she even has a Nuka-Cola Museum in the Capital Wasteland that appeared in Fallout 3). I just wanted to make a quick video about fictional sodas, but in the words of The Ghoul from the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime Video, "thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time."

History of the Nuka-Cola Corporation
The Nuka-Cola Corporation was a pre-War beverage corporation; by the time of the Great War in 2077 it was the single largest beverage company in the United States. Underneath the family-friendly facade, the corporation was a cutthroat entity that had perfected corporate espionage and was involved in covert weapons research with the United States military through its world-class team of organic chemists known as the Beverageers, emblematic of the ruthless world of pre-War corporate America.
Their flagship soda Nuka-Cola entered the beverage market in 2044, with the invention of the soft drink by John-Caleb Bradberton after two years of experimentation. Though strictly unhealthy (containing 120% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar), it took the United States market by storm and within a year it could be purchased nationwide. Its popularity rapidly increased and within several years it was the most popular beverage across the globe.
What is Fallout about?
The setting of Fallout exists in an alternate timeline that completely diverged from our own timeline after World War II. From this split all the way up until the Great War in 2077, a technologically advanced retrofuturistic atomic age representation of the 1950s dominated the culture and society of the fiction of the Fallout series. In particular, the United States was dominated by the continuation of a corrupted American Dream and an overly suppressive form of American exceptionalism. The science-fiction anthology Worlds of Tomorrow, published during the Golden Age of Science Fiction in the 1950s, heavily influenced this representation.

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.

@quenchquestdrinks Ай бұрын

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!

There's a pretty good chance when they said "browning sauce", they meant caramel browning sauce / liquid, just brown sugar and water.

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.

@quenchquestdrinks 15 күн 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!

@user-fn8jo2mo2d Ай бұрын

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.

@quenchquestdrinks 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".

@quenchquestdrinks 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?

@quenchquestdrinks 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!
