Orange wine is essentially just wine fermented with white grapes with their skins during the fermentation process. It's actually pretty historically rich and stretches back thousands of years and is still pretty popular in Georgia (the country) as it has a lot of historical roots there. It's also pretty prevalent in Greece and I personally seen a lot of Greek grocers near me carry Greek orange wine.

Video Idea to make Greg Happy and stav off more cursed cocktails: it's a Wheel, Skull, and Dice episode where Greg needs to make a cocktail using randomized ingredients using the "Golden Ratio": 2 of Strong, 1 of Sweet, 1 of Sour (and a garnish). The Wheel has a bunch of spirits, the Skull has a liquors, and Greg will need to roll some dice in order to randomly pick a source of sourness. also a fourth thing in order to decide a garnish. this can potentially make something good tasting (An Earthy Whisky+Coffee Liquor+Lemon Juice with a flamed orange peel) or make something Evil (Mezcal+Peppermint Schnapps+Orange Juice with an olive).

I've found some very nice low-sugar (&no sweetners) drinks... but I also have some friends who claim that cheap alcohol + cheap mixer tastes exactly same as expensive alcohol + expensive mixer... Rum&coke, Gin&tonic, Mojito, etc.

So orange wine was new to me too - it is not made with oranges - it's white wine made in a huge vat with the skins and seeds still in contact with the juice (and if I had to bet, probably some stems, too), so basically lazy industrial wine - or to put a positive spin on it, wine that uses all of the grape 👍
@melvinbiester Жыл бұрын
It’s not necessarily ‘lazy industrial’ wine, it’s actually very rural and indeed becoming more well known these days. So specifically it’s white wine made from WHITE grapes with the skins still in, otherwise one would get red wine.I doubt however that’s what’s in Greg’s drink, that is probably actual orange ‘wine’, like a mead but with oranges rather than honey. Cheers! :)

If you’re looking for ideas… maybe all the different drinks from lord of the rings (orc healing potion, elven wine, hobbit drinks). Greg could probably have fun with that. Other drinks include portal fluid from ric and Morty, blue glow from Fortnite STW, literally any of the drinks from lower decks, drinks from the Thor movies. I know you’re into dnd so it might be fun to make some the drinks from dimension 20. Namely, the expensive elaborate drink from misfits and magic episode 4 but there are others, might even be worth getting another cameo from Brennan or maybe have the bartender from dirty laundry). It’s fun to watch you try these bad things but it’s also fun to watch you take these fantastical things and make them real. All the best!

Think this is one of my favorite episodes. Great job Greg and Meredith! Also if you're running out of ideas for episodes, may I pitch one for you? Have people, maybe in the comments, on Twitch chat, or in a Patreon post, make up a name for a cocktail. Then you have to make a drink that fits the name. I think it'd be a lot of fun.

Hey Greg! One of my favorite series you did was the Game of Thrones series for Season 8 (ugh), and it would be fun to do drinks for new series that are out, like House of the Dragon, Andor, Rings of Power, etc. It was really fun to see you create combinations and recipes based on the themes and hear your thoughts and opinions about the shows. Or, you could revisit Sex on the Beach. Ben Bentley would love that.

Well as a distraction from this absolute lovely episode and watching Greg slowly get more drunk as the episode goes on, I found a simple gin and tonic that ended up super good. You gotta get empress gin, some elderflower tonic water, and make whatever kind of simple syrup you think will go good with it (probably floral) and it turned out super good! Not to mention with the whole color change, can be a fun party trick drink!

Hey, you kind of touched on it with the Orange Wine in the buzz balls, but there is a whole world of “fermented spirits” that could be interesting to try out. The brand that I’ve seen is Premium Blend. They’re liquor substitutes that allow restaurants to serve cocktails without a liquor license because they are considered wine. Would be interesting to see what you could do with them.
