These whiskeys don’t seem like they’re suited to being a replacement for the main spirit in a drink. They’re usually heavily sweetened, which isn’t the case for normal whisky, and much lower proof. Maybe if they were added as a modifier, or say 1 ounce of the flavored whisky and one ounce of normal whisky to raise the proof and cut the sweetness, they would work better.

I don't know enough about cocktails to know if this qualifies as a different drink altogether, but cherry and lime go together well in nonalcoholic preparations, so maybe a Cherry Whiskey Smash with limes instead of lemons would turn out better.

I swear, your show concepts just keep getting better and better. I especially love "The Customer Is Always Wrong". Keep playing with concepts; you're putting out great content as always.

Love the idea of a drink you gave himbo as a flavor note and having Earth Girls Are Easy vibes. Wonderful movie

Seems like for a drink that assumes 2oz of 80 proof whiskey and .5-1oz simple, you could just use 2.5-3oz of 70 proof flavored whiskey and drop the simple and end up at the same place without a ridiculously sweet drink.

Lol wow, I was not expecting this to go so poorly. I thought at least 1 of them would be remotely ok, or at least something you could tweak slightly to make functional. Maybe this would work better with some of the flavored gins? There's plenty of those out there.

this wheel reminded me wheel of the worst from RLM, hey Greg please befriend the guys from RLM (should be easy since half of them are alcooholics) and make a wheel of booze + bad movies together

I was sooo hoping for a Mint Julep with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, because I'm evil. Flavored whiskey should...not...exist! Finished whiskey is alright, sometimes, but flavored 🤢

I really like that he called the coconut whiskey an abomination. My usual phrase for this garbage is “an abomination unto the Lord”. I’m a trainer for a wine and spirits company. When I talk to new employees (cashiers, stock clerks) I ask what they drink. Always have one who says “whiskey”, so I ask “What type?” The response is usually “I love Skrewball. You mix it with Chambord and it tastes just like a PB & J.” And another bit of my soul dies.

The thing I love most about Meredith's cameos is that they give a really fun impression that Greg has a whole group of friends who are into cool shit like video production and experimenting with cocktails like he is.

I would love an episode where you spin the wheel and make the best cocktail you can create with that flavored drink. It would help me finally find delicious things to do with all this flavored alcohol people like to give as gifts.

Loving this wheel gimmick; it's a lot of fun! Your videos and creativity bring me a lot of joy, and I'm grateful that you keep making such fun stuff. Plus, I'm always happy to see someone succeed at doing something that's rewarding to them to make their living, rather than being stuck totally alienated from their labour like so many of us. Hell yeah. Would love to see more tiki stuff sometime again, if you're of a mind. It's become a fixation of mine over the past two years, lol.

Hi Greg, it has been so wonderful going through all your content it has given me the confidence to try to mix cocktails for myself. while watching this video I thought it actually might be neet you see you make a good cocktail from the flavored whisky or vodkas. Just an idea that I like. I wish you and everyone at HTD the best
