The Drinks of Prohibition! Repeal Day Special! | How to Drink

- It's Repeal Day, December 5th, and to celebrate I'm talking a little about Prohibition and making SIX drinks to help you party like Gatsby!
Way back in 1933 our country decided to get off the wagon and wake up from the national hangover that was Prohibition, so we repealed the Volstead Act and now we call it Repeal Day! Today I'll talk a BIT about the history of Prohibition but frankly, others can and have done a better job of it than I. But what I WILL do is be making for you six drinks that were actually legitimately invented during Prohibition (you know it's a weird myth that ALL cocktails come from Prohibition, right?) and that's about it. Six drinks, about as fast as I can go. Let's party like Gatsby!

6:29 brave cutting and juicing a lemon like that while your thumb is cut
@@andremaldonado7410 That's my secret Cap, my thumbs are always cut.
Unrelated but, when's the next D&D stream?
Hey, so I got this weird whiskey. It's Peanut Butter Whiskey. It's delicious and I need cocktail recipes on the double Greg.
Take it from a puerto rico native, the best replacement for the bacardi white is DonQ white. Almost no locals drink bacardi, preferring the superior DonQ brand. Its available in some states, heavily recommended, their aged rums like Gran Añejo and Sherry Cask are excellent.
Stop telling Greg to talk less or hurry up. A lot of us actually particularly enjoy the history aspect and the charm that Greg brings to the show.
Erik S. Agree. Love it. Plus the man is clearly drunk. Have some consideration, for Pete's sake
2nd that. Love the facts. Actually interesting!
Well then he needs to get his facts straight because that was a clusterfuck.
I know. They should just skip it. Lazy fucks
Prohibition is one of my favorite times to learn about, so I really enjoy the history part of the video.
The sound of cracking the ice with the bar spoon is as therapeutic for me as bob ross beating the devil out of his brush.
I love thr slow motion ice moments! They are as you sat,, therapeutic.
I picture the cubes as the skulls of people I don't like.
just got this to 666 likes. I don't know why I found the need comment this, yet here we are.
Is brush a euphimism?
I wish i was that ice block
"people where drunk all of the time" explains a LOT of US history in that line.
A friend of mine is a historian of revolutionary America, likes to remind people that the constitution was drafted by guys who were both on the verge of heat exhaustion AND full on knock down black out drunk for the duration.
I'm assuming OP was drunk when he wrote this, since he can't spell *were* correctly.
Lol wtf are people on now cuz people seem to be fucking crazier now .
Unfortunately meth
That's really not true. Yeah people drank a lot heavier back in the day but it's a very common misconception that people were "drunk all the time." People still had to be sober to work. Kinda disapppinted that Greg would knowingly spread misinformation like this.
One more tiny tidbit on the phrase "scofflaw": yes, it won the contest--but it was also entered by two people from two separate parts of the country at the same time, by pure chance. They ended up splitting the prize money.
I would have garnished the Monkey Gland with a peeled grape.
Brilliant! And Disgusting!
Or 2 lychees
🤢😂

Greg:*comes into work sober* We are making 6 drinks at once today!
😂
What happens to all that alcohol?
@@jeremyahaycox drink up everyone.
He prolly got some tolerance cause of how much he drinks.
I love the slow motion shots of lemons just exploding oils everywhere
fun fact! in oranges (not sure about lemons) if you squeeze a peel like that over a lighter, it'll catch. cinnamon is also flammable.
I’m not sure if I love them or am deeply disturbed by them.
Thank you for actually doing your research before talking about prohibition. I know you probably won't see this, but great job on a quick overview on the why, how, and what of prohibition while also expounding on some misconceptions.
I like how he gave more history than my old high school history class
Haha! That's fucking awesome!
What was wrong about it?
Actually, most of it was accurate...
@@TannerLindberg Always good to trust someone who can't even spell "too."
@@kacornish1 All of it was accurate. This was really well done.
Seeing the evolution in this channel is amazing. From the new camera angles, the tasting notes getting more charm, and Greg's singing/rambling, there has been an explosion of character and energy and this makes me even more excited for future episodes! Cheers!
Anna Sophia Yes!
SURREAL CEREAL
Your the bee's knees...
I'm happy for the guy I just wish he was paid more same with alot of great RUclipsrs I watch. PS Greg's camera work is top notch.
I'll drink to that!
I seem to remember hearing that “the bees knees” actually started much earlier than prohibition as an expression meaning “something insignificant or unimportant” since bees’ knees would be so tiny, but around the 20s a lot of other expressions with that same format (I.E. “the cat’s meow”) which meant a thing which is great and important and people just assumed that “the bee’s knees” meant basically the same thing and that’s how it took on its modern connotation
Thanks for telling me in literally 4 minutes what my teachers in school neglected to go over at all. Greg you are fantastic.
The loss to American bar culture woukd actually be really interesting to study and could show how such actions change the culture opposed to a similar country that left alcohol legal
Golly! Just in time for the Roaring 20s comeback. Bang up drinks, Barkeep!
Gee, thanks for the ❤️ and the pints and quarts, Saloonman
Yep very hard to believe in a couple weeks it will be the year 2020... it blows my mind
this didn't age well
Yikes
The new 20s started with a roaring disease.
Not my kind of roaring I have to admit.
My great great grandfather was a moonshiner in Louisiana at the time of prohibition. He would have loved your show. You are the bee's knee's Greg.
🐝🖤💛🖤🐝
My great grandfather was a rum runner up Narragansett bay, still got recognized at the horsetrack for years after.
Nice colors
My grandfather was a bartender at a speakeasy in Philadelphia during the prohibition.
From what I understand, several of my Scottish and Irish ancestors were some of the first moonshiners in North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky.. I was always told this, but I didn't know it was 100% true until I did that ancestry DNA thing.
@@NameN0tFound
Lmao, very nice colors indeed haha
4:45 "The Documentary Ken Burns did is a little Dry..." the one about prohibition? I see what you did there, even if you missed it.
I was looking for this comment on this.
"*Closeup missing"
GREG! *GREG!*
WE NEED MORE B-ROLL!
Lol, the profile picture fits so well
I'm too young to drink but I absolutely love the way cocktails look and sound, do you think you could do an episode on mocktails/virgin cocktails?
Great idea Isaac
There are a few virgin drinks i think he's done, including pumpkin juice and roman ale
I can see you are not from eastern europe.
@Big Hosafat many generations have been irresponsible before, this one is just the current one to ktfetch about, and it's all being recorded in more detail than before.
@Big Hosafat Tobacco literally kills half of all people who smoke it. And reduces the healthy years of everyone who takes it up, sometimes by decades. It's highly addictive, and it's more addictive the earlier you start because it rewrites how your brain works before it has even finished growing. There's a reason it's getting more controlled.
Yesterday I was telling everyone happy repeal day, unfortunately, I live in a small LDS town... It wasnt an appreciated sentiment
oh nooooo
@Rising Horizon Gaming ^ as a Utahn, you basically nailed it
@Rising Horizon Gaming oh I'm well aware. Like I said. Utahn. There's not much you can tell me about the Mormon church that I don't already know. LOL
But yeah, Joseph Smith was a real piece of fuckin' work.
@@doublevendetta did Joseph even make it to Utah?
@@chevychase3103 HE did not, no. His best buddies sure did though, to carry on his POS legacy. Old Joey died in Illinois. That, in fact was what spurred the exodus.
You sir, are insanley taltented. I work in the fine dining industry and to see you evolve as a mixologist has been truly inspiring. So glad i sub to your channel
Greg: "I'm probably gonna use dry Curacao for all these"
Also Greg: *never uses Curacao again for the vid*
Considering it was from prohibition I would have suggested a Canadian Rye for the Scofflaw
TRUE
Keeping my fingers crossed for a Dark Crystal episode where you make Essence. 🤞🏻🤞🏻💜💙
As I asked for this as well, I will second the request. We would very much like some Essence. Nice, Bright, Citrusy, Sparkling Esssence....
I am still pumped from when I saw the announcement for the new series. Loved that movie as a kid.
@@AcornFox I have watched the new series 5 times. It's fantastic.
Benjamin Franz I just finished it finally. It did not disappoint
@@MrBenfranz Deet is the best, I love her so much. I've rewatched the movie since I was real little it was my favorite thing. I cried when the new show ended.😅
Worked 13 years as a bartender; Last Word is one of my absolute favourite cocktails ever. Please do an episode on it! Great show you have BTW!
The simplicity of the Bees Knees is really amazing -- and your original idea/addition to the recipe of the candied ginger as a garnish is perfect.
Grenarange sounds like a new Pokemon.
4:43 "A little bit dry" lol. Surprised that pun went unnoticed.
A little bit easier to ingest.
Was gonna say it’s witty and yeah :p
"...scrote. "
Genius.
Mary Pickford also founded the Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto, her hometown.
The problem with a sugar rim is my brain always thinks: "Oh boy! Salt! This is going to taste salty!"
And then it doesn't. The cognitive dissonance really throws off the taste for me.
Once at a friends family thanksgiving I warned everyone that the cheesecake had gone sour. It was disgusting. I was informed it was key lime pie. It was delicious.
How To Drink
Oh jeez... haha, I guess a thanksgiving surprise really can never be a welcomed one... 😆
Hrm...usually salt and sugar look much different on the rim. Wonder if the places you have been have similar grain for both? That would be weird indeed
@@howtodrink How much had you had to drink....? Lol
That's not what that means
Loved the treatment of the history behind prohibition on this one. We need such mature telling of history.
Now I think you should have a history series - cocktails tied to the historical events that has imapcted liquor consumption.
He could join up with The History Guy once a month!❤
As a completely new subscriber; I must say I love the bulletpoints for all the drinks.
Because even though they make sense in context, while hearing you talk about it, if you were to just see them written somewhere you'd easily imagine that "ah, this is a person who's had a few of this particular drink, that was sat down and asked to make a list of bulletpoints for it".
I mean JUST F-ING LOOK AT SCOFFLAW!
And that doesn't even have "invisible ginsible"
23:13 i never realised how much citrus actually came out of a lemon skin
Gregg, I love ya man, but the first feminist movement was arguably the prohibition of prostitution in the early to mid 1800's followed by the Abolishionist movement.
While the second was focused primarily on slavery, there were feminist members like the Grimke sisters that liked the position of women to slavery and fought for both the freedom of the enslaved and rights for all women.
Another member of the feminist side of the Abolitionist movement was Sojourner Truth who basically said "if women are less capable than men, why are you so afraid to give us equal rights?" There were some inherently "mic drop" moments in early American feminism.
Now that I've been the pedantic asshole so that no one else needs to, I need a stiff drink.
heh, "stiff"
@Big Hosafat
If you're here to get drunk, then what are you doing in the comments?
Big Hosafat if you've watched his videos before, you know he loves these kinds of historical stories. If you're here just to get drunk, this isn't the channel for you. There's a reason he hearted this comment.
Also, guessing by your name you should know that people misjudge groups of people based on a few bad examples. Real feminists want true equality, there's brave feminist movements everywhere in the world, the latest news I've heard has been in India, Japan, and Kenya. I can’t even describe my respect for these men and women of all races and nationalities for taking a stand together.
@Big Hosafat What do you actually know about feminism? Have you actually interacted with contemporary feminist ideas, or do you binge watch 'feminist sjw owned' compilations and thinks that makes you educated?
@Big Hosafat I'm a bartender in New Orleans, but I do like sticks up the butt personally.
You started this conversation by posting your opinions, why do you refuse to defend them?
Second! I'm too young to drink, but I love the commentary and how interesting the show is. You're doing great! You deserve many more subscribers!
The US age at 21 is out of touch and dumb!!! Hopefully it will be lowered to the rest of the world's standards.
Brandon S. 21 is fine for America. The vast majority of the world doesn’t drink alcohol to the extent Americans do and most of the time they know how to be responsible with it. Not overdoing it every single night.
But we Americans have to do everything big, from food to sports to music to alcohol. People here hardly act like they know what moderation is.
Emgien Beats not knowing what moderation is is very dangerous, not to mention foolish. While i am old enough to drink over here in Australia, i rarely do so in the first place.
@@bossdup3137 people can't control themselves because it's been withhold from us until we're 21. The restriction of it for most of our youth has made it even more desirable so once we turn 21 we go over board and drink as much as we can, thus kicking off a lifetime of alcoholism.
I'm 18 in Quebec Canada and I'm allowed to drink but don't so it's all a matter of perspective!
the more i do 'research on drinks' on youtube, the more i find i would rather watch you channel as it is more in line with what i am looking for and what i like. Thank you for all this goodness you have brought in your channel.
can we just take a second to appreciate the camera work? especially the close- ups. i really enjoy seeing the liquids flow into the shakers.
We had three of these at our wedding. We had the Bees Knees, 12 Mile Limit, and the Mary Pickford! We had a Speakeasy themed wedding.
I think RUclips channels like this are of higher quality than any network food or drink tv show, great stuff
"some of those who works forces
are the same who burn crosses"
my dude I love you
A sidecar is my favorite cocktail!! This episode was great! All the information was so fascinating, also going into why women wanted prohibition helps show it in a understandable way. Women and children were being beaten by their drunk husbands so they wanted it to be illegal, understandable.
Also, hack the planet!!
I absolutely love this show was able to learn how to make my favorite drinks
Notification squad
Forgot to mention my great grandpa is 95 when I was young he told me some story's his dad and some friends were part of a small operation that helped smuggle alchohol through Tennessee on rout to main
My grandpa apparently ran moonshine when he was young, that was a fun thing to find out after I started making cocktails.
your great grandad is a prince among men
My Grand Dads made 'shine and beer but mostly for personal consumption and to stick it to the government. Outlaws gotta be.
"No way man that's ASMR we're leaving it IN "
I don't know whether that was very funny or very disgusting ...
I am a long time cocktail lover, and this is the first cocktail channel I've connected. LOVE the sociological slant you put on your videos!
absolutely loved the history, delivery, and editing. subbed after one video--i'll be watching through your catalog with a nice bourbon tonight. cheers
You may want to try the Scofflaw with raspberry syrup instead of grenadine, it improves the drink greatly.
Duh. It's raspberry! For Xreitz sake. :)
Been watching H2D for quite some time now, just wanted to say that I really loved the history of prohibition in this video and am very happy you didn't shy away from certain topics in its history. Great video and keep them coming!
Always always love you're presentation and history as well as the tasting notes and your energy for the video. Thank you. Please hear this over all. Thank you
Whoever does the captions: you're a hero. Surprisingly great video too, a lot more everything than I expected.
yes! do a bad old cocktails episode, that would be incredibly entertaining.
Comrade greg said rise up in solidarity
why is this comment so low? that was one of my favorite moments!
The energy in all of these videos is nothing short of God tier
i always find the juicing close ups rather silently aggresive but the last lemon in this video was the best yet i find it so visually satisfying
Fun Fact: I have checked every liquor store in my area and I cannot find a single store that has Curcao that ins't Blue Curacao.
I can, but I’m not surprised. I can’t find Genever gin.
Relatable.
Maybe ask if one of the stores can order it for you? No guarantees, but they might be willing. I would say just order it online, but I don't think you can have liquor shipped to you like that... tbh I've never tried.
You can have liquor delivered to you, but you need a valid ID showing you're of drinking age (this is assuming you're in the US, I don't know about other countries; may also vary by state, I'm in Florida). I've never actually ordered online, but I've had to sign for my grandmother before when I was housesitting for her.
Yeah me neither. I would love some feedback on this.
This is the best HTD video I've seen in months. Greg, I love your historical episodes, especially when they have this more adult tone. You handled the subject matter so well, and I learned a ton.
i love watching this and knowing i'm not legally allowed to enjoy any of the drinks he makes
One of my favorite episodes! Some classic drinks here! Thanks for doing a great episode on this time period without it being four hours long!
The way he says orange trips me out lol. "arhnge"
Ram Martinez I think the notes writer tends to spell it that way too...which is quite amusing. Kinda like when I ask my grandma how she spells “hwarsh”
My buddy from New York says it the same way, so I think it's an northeast coast thing
Would you ever do another Star Trek episode? I would love to see a Klingon Blood Wine cocktail.
i really love history; so to me watching your videos about making amazing drinks while talking about their history origins, and the people who drank them. makes your content feel like a game of why? with a child and im the child asking why, why, why over and over while you fascinate me
Thank you for a very educational as well as entertaining video! The 12 Mile Limit was a surprisingly tasty drink and consequently added to my personal list of favourites!
Barfly should make different sword picks. If your drunk enough you can play duel your buddy with a saber pick vs a rapier pick and use the bar top as the arena.
Love you videos! These videos helped me start/stock up my small amateur bar.
The 12 Mile Limit is one fine libation, an excellent addition to this grouping. Well done as always!
Man, what an on point analysis... this was way more than I was looking for but I'm glad I watched it.
Interesting prohibition history lesson, especially about the immigrants. How history repeats.
I have walked in to all my favourite bars and asked for my favourite prohibition drinks now just to see who will make them!
I loooooveee your channel for teaching me so,e of the great things I think we’ve lost hahah!
The descriptions of the drinks after tasting crack me up every time. Love it.
I appreciate the education in the video. Just enough to keep me interested and also to have me doing extra reading about the topic on the side.
Greg I made a mulled cider this year for my guests at thanksgiving. They liked the drink so much they asked where I found the recipe. I pointed them your way. Hopefully they subscribe. Keep up the good work.
OMG!! I forgot today was a sacred holiday! 😁
Great video, thanks! I love to hear about the history and culture and context of drinking.
This is the best channel because not only am i exposed to new and wonderful drinks but you also give history and background that give the drinks a character
Greg, congratulations on the Panerai. I’ve watched you wear that Seiko for so long! A California dial is always a fun little watch to have in the collection.
Cheers to your success and to the success of the channel!
He has a real charisma to him. I've found the channel recently and it's great
Whoever is adding the notes during the editing is my HERO!!! Sir, Lady, you are freaking hilarious!!!
i love how these drinks all form such a pleasant color palette! i guess it makes sense with so many repeated ingredients
Been waiting for this episode.
Gregs official title is- John of Arrack, inoculating whimsical alcoholic delights into the brains of those who hear his siren songs.
I watch your channel to learn how to impress my friends, but today I'm glad I got a little bit of history I never learned! Can't wait to make these ones as well!
As someone who lives in the Detroit area there is a lot of prohibition history here. My favorite fact is that in Canada it was still legal to produce liquor for export, as long as it was to a non prohibition country. So people from Detroit would row boats across the river to Canada, buy as much liquor as the boat could hold, and then on the export for write the destination as "Cuba".
I love this channel! You guys make great content. Been watching on and off for a while but I just turned 21 so I have a feeling I'll be seeing even more of you :D
"lemon into the cut of my finger"
,ate at least they werent putting lime into everything back then
I don't always enjoy the little history lessons you give, just not what I go for when I watch your videos, but I tend to enjoy interesting lectures and a different view on something in history. Giving a bar tender/mixed drink expert's take on it was cool and I honestly really enjoyed the history lesson this time 'round. Keep up with the amazing videos!
This is the first video I’ve seen from this channel but the production quality is insanely awesome!
Hey, my hometown of Utica, NY served the first drink after prohibition ended. A good ol' Utica Club pillsner!
Doh, ho! Not in Utica, no. Its an Albany expression.
@@winter9716 I've never heard it
Your crew must *love* working for you! "Hey, I can't drink all of these! You, Camera Man! Get paid to drink this 300-proof $50 cocktail!"
My new favorite channel!! Thank you for this video i loved it
“obviously there’s no organized crime left in america” was an underrated joke
"This is a timed episode"
*proceeds to talk about the entirety of prohibition*
Lol
Wow, the drinks are a very similar orangish-yellow. I wonder if that’s because of the grenadine?
As someone who speaks French... your "JE NAIS SE QUOI" made me chuckle. "Je ne sais quoi" is the good way ;) Great episode btw!
Btw, I love your Video editing, the slowmo pours and everything, it's so soothing to watch. I don't even drink but I LOVE YOUR CONTENT.
I ordered Side Cars so often (and was the only one to ever do so in the 90's) at my fav steak house, that it became my nick name with the wait staff ;)
Greg. Lovely video. I especially appreciated the candied Ginger garnish. Reminds me of a Penicillin. Any chance you could do a video on that sometime soon? I would especially appreciate it.
This could have been hours long. Love the history!
This is so satisfying to watch and listen too.. I don't drink, but I love this show. Keep up the great work!
I would love to make the bees knees, and the twelve mile limit. Actually, I’d like to make and drink any of the sweet cocktails lol
Also, great brief intro to the prohibition. Thanks for the wholesome explanation about the Temperance League! This repeal actually helped FDR’s new deal to tackle those lull hours of adults haha
Upboats for that great intro shot sequence!
I really dig your style & I love the music you use! Thanks for a fun & educational vibe!
