While I do agree - there was a timer there I thought Greg had given up the straight episodes for the quirky ones - I actually think the "bad drink" episodes are great, because he tries to pull the flavors apart and figure out how to make a good (or at least decent) drink it of this. That's actually really useful for beginning cocktail artists. Greg also really picks flavors apart really well (and quite entertainingly) and gives you possibly one of the best instructional video series' on, funny enough "how to drink". I would recommend Greg first to anyone looking to get into elevated cocktails, because he EXPLAINS things so well, and he's more entertaining than most. Eventually, I would turn them on to Anders as well, but I really think they're are a bunch of episodes of HTD, especially the bad cocktail ones, that have a lot of really good things in them.

Idea: since we are getting into the colder months, this would be a good time for creamy cocktails. I know fall is when I want a thick, creamy drink that will sit heavy. Contrasts against the lighter, more refreshing cocktails of spring/summer. In the fall/winter, I want either a meal in a glass, or something warming.

I usually do a 50/50 split between fresh juices and grapefruit soda, but a while back I tried a 100% juice (using red+white grapefruit, and lime) topped with soda water.

A Caipirinha was actually the very first cocktail I ever made myself! (I'm not counting pouring vodka into a half empty juice bottle as a cocktail) I was taught how to make an alcohol free Caipirinha at school when I was maybe 13 years old, so as soon as I was of age I made the alcoholic version. 10/10 definitely one of my favorites!

Watching this channel taught me more than I ever deserved to know about mixology, and since becoming a fan I’ve started getting creative and making drinks. I never found something that I really felt good at anything before, but now I have several of my own personal drinks I’ve made that I’m incredibly proud of, and I couldn’t have done it without Greg and the HTD team. Great episode, as always, and thank you so much for sharing your passion with everyone! Here’s to many more in our futures! 🥂

Hey Greg. Had an Elderflower Sherbet on a beautiful sunny May day in Scotland. The drink seemed to embody everything great about that nice spring day. Combine and shake the following with some crushed ice in a shaker (sorry, I've only got the metric measurements): 50ml gin; 25ml Elderflower liqueur; 100ml cloudy apple juice; 25ml lemonade. Pour over crushed ice in a hurricane glass. Add lemon slice and mint garnish. I'm not sure what this would be an upgrade for but it sure was tasty!

Dark & Stormy has been a favorite of mine since I stumbled on it a year or two ago. I had some groceries delivered and it came with some random small can of ginger beer as a promo, and I thought "what the hell am I going to do with ginger beer?" I had never had it before, so I didn't realize it's wonderful to drink all by itself. I googled "cocktail with ginger beer" and found the recipe. Went out and grabbed some lime juice, and was pleasantly surprised. I've been using Plantation 5 Year.

it was so validating for you to say that the dark and stormy should be mixed so that it's actually good. The first cocktail I ever had was a dark and stormy (it was a shortlist at an event and i guessed randomly). I remember hating how dry and one note it was at first, but after a few minutes, after some melting and mixing occured, it became REALLY good. I also wonder about your's (or others takes). I've seen an alternative to the moscow mule as a "mexican mule" which, if I remember correctly, used tequila and a softer but spiced ginger beer. I really liked it because the tequila stood up and added those nice sweet notes. However, I've only seen it at a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, and I wonder if it was just a cost saving drink xD

@buggz8889 9 ай бұрын

Your intro made me think IMMEDIATELY of a Toronto. It's an Old Fashioned with an added 0.25 oz of Fernet Branca and my GOD is it delicious. It elevates what is already a stone cold classic into something so much more complex and refined, without taking away any of the things you love about an OF. Between the two I always, always go for a Toronto if I can. Great idea for a video and great content, as always!

Huge fan of this episode concept! I've been adding lime juice and orange bitters to my rum & cokes for a minute now. Not sure why I never tried ango. Hope to see more of this! I forgot all about dark and stormies, truly a great drink. I think I've only had em with Kraken, which admittedly is as much of a marketing gimmick as the mule's copper mug. I know you aren't keen on Kraken, i'll definitely be reaching for Goslings next time. Oh, also: I loved the new little editing flourishes, especially the sound effects with the ice shaver 😂 Glad to hear you're a fan of Regular Car Reviews too!

This is one of my favorite episodes recently. It’s a fun thought experiment to find lesser known drinks. I needed to use some mint, so a queens park swizzle got my vote for this evening cocktail.

With my dark and stormy’s, I prefer to put the rum on top and only slightly stir it so that it gets stronger the more I drink.

This episode is 10/10 too marks 100% right up my ally and I wrote every cocktails recipe down to make at home. This was written for me and all the RUM was fantastic. I've been on the caipirinha game for ages, there amazing.

Again, I must mention how much I love my head canon about the Sassy Editor writing those tasting notes out😂❤

On the note on layering on the dark and stormy, i always heard that was how it got its name. The Dark Rum atop the cloudy ginger beer looking like stormclouds. Then you serve with a straw and its stirred to preference before drinking.

Yes. More of this. The Dark & Stormy is my favorite cocktail & no one talks about it.

To all those who like Frangelico, I have been recently blown away by trying it with a squeezed lime wedge in it! Since you used lime in a lot of the cocktails and was hyping it up, I felt I needed to share this with the world ❤

As somebody who keeps a bottle on hand mostly just because I like how it looks, I appreciate getting some kind of tip what to do with it. Maybe that could be an episode? "X different drinks for Y kinds of liqueur you probably bought because the bottle looked cool"?
