Love your content 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I don't know if this counts but maybe you could try a New Jersey Iced Tea?
Mint liquor Old Fashioned!
The captions were just on fire this episode. 😂😂😂😂
Sandy martini
Can we do a whole "Will it Julip" episode
Basil, Sage, Taragon, etc.
There’s a Thai place near me that has a Thai basil julep as one of their signature cocktails
Tarragon is used in a Soviet drink called "Tarkhun". Not sure if it is used in julep quantities, but "tasting moderately of tarragon" was listed in the Soviet datasheet for the drink
I bet Thyme would actually make a decent Julep. Chives would probably be the worst herb for it.
And there’s different varieties of mint I can think of besides spearmint and peppermint like chocolate mint and pineapple mint. Hell even catnip.
Rosemary, bay, dill, chamomile, lavender, the options are endless!
My vote is for a Three-Mile Island Iced Tea
Glowing green, ash-covered and harmful to anybody in a small radius
🤣
Hmm, Midori for toxic green or Blue Curacao for that Cherenkov glow?
@@matthewcox7985 cherenkov!
Use some liquid riboflavin in that mix and it will glow under a blacklight. A surprisingly fluorescent vitamin.
bump
My immediate thought is throwing absinthe in a long island lol
PSA: if your actual "golden showers" look like what's in that glass, you may have a kidney infection and should probably consult a doctor.
On the other hand, if it almost looks like cola in coloration, you have liver failure and NEED to consult a doctor.
@@Shenorai It's not even just liver failure, brown pee can also be kidney failure (my gran near her death from kidney failure peed brown before not peeing ever again)
Just the phrase "Cilantro Julep" made me crack up before staring in fascinated horror, before you even started making it. That's one sick puppy right there.
Yes and to me it would be like he made it with soap.
"Unsweetened" is probably the word the ruins the most cocktails while still being a reasonable word.
Another one is "Malort"
Lots of cocktails I like are heavy on bitterness so they utterly need some sort of sugar. Things like Last Words and Negronis. Gin and tonic I love but it need that lime juice (which I know is also bitter and mainly acidic but yeah, a tiny bit of sugar goes a long way).
Or sweetened.
A sweetened gin martini.
@@krusher181 Thats why its absolutely crutial for a Negroni to be a sweet vermouth, that bit of sweetness is needed. Still a bitter cocktail, but ballanced.
Ive seen too many people try to substitute that with the famous brand whatever-they-had-on-hand vermouth, often dry vermouths, and create undrinkable cough medicine.
@@krusher181 Tonic water has a fair amount of sugar in it, for exactly this reason, because quinine flavor would be very bad to drink otherwise.
these drinks are just the average drinks College students make when they want to be fancy
-"this needs summ fresh"
-"I have cilantro, that my roommate bought by accident"
-"👀... yeah that will do"
Immediately what I thought. Used to serve this guy at my old bartop who exclusively ordered malibu rum and amaretto on the rocks. Hot garbage, and totally a college student creation.
@@bradkohl99what's wrong with that combination? Amaretto and rum go pretty well together.
@@Nanook128 malibu is barely rum. It’s basically a sweet coconut liquer with the amount of sugar in there. It’s sugary nonsense for the inexperienced drinker who just wants something sweet.
@@bradkohl99 Is it? I guess If that's the case that's probably a fair statement. I thought Malibu was actual rum mixed with coconut liqueur.
On this episode of How to Drink: our hero slowly descends into madness as the viewer suggested drinks become progressively worse
It's hilarious how the worst drinks on this show weren't the obviously cursed ones, but the ones that actually sounded like good ideas.
Love when you can tell Greg's on his third or fourth episode of filming for the day the second the intro starts
Agreed 😂
Bro needs a spit bucket
@@LynxPrints He has one, just doesn't bring it out for any episode with less than 10 drinks in it.
His latest grid of tasting made use of it.
Do you think this came right after star field?
Yeah, the question that occurred to me was, "How drunk were you going into this episode?"
I dont know how the death on the beach doesnt have some sort of fermented fish sauce in it. When i imagine the flavors that the words "death on the beach" conjures up, salty, fishy and fermented come to mind immediately
You are certainly right with what comes to mind but we gotta at least try to make a success, else where's the suspense?
I thought of coffee.
Garnish with gefilte fish
Interestingly, his thoughts went "Sex on the beach + Death in the Afternoon", which is why he went with the absinthe; he was combining two drinks since their names were mixed for the drink, rather than going literal (he responded to me saying that I thought to replace the vodka with Fireball instead, though "Sunburn on the Beach" might be a better name for that, hah).
Could've had an extra play on words if it was in small glasses - a little death on the beach. Fitting with a French named drink after it too.
i decided to quit drinking recently and this episode is making it easier haha
Idea: take tasting notes from previously made drinks & try to reverse engineer a drink based on the bizarre descriptors used in the final edits of videos!
This would of course favor drinks that have fallen on the more hellatious side
That sounds fun. Sort of a pop quiz
Watching Greg suffer becoming an important sub-genre of cocktail youtube
I am surprised that Greg missed the opportunity to put a perfect garnish on the Harvey Grandma banger. Cherries are out should have done prunes.
I'd have replaced the Galliano with a sherry in a Grandma Banger
I just love how this whole episode feels like the fan who suggested the drink is standing just off stage pointing a gun at Greg
I would actually love an episode (either HTD or Midnight Local tbh) where you talked on the more theoretical side about what makes a drink bad and how you could academically approach making truly THE definite worst cocktail
The merdegarita
The NOgroni
I think the doctor would be pretty ok with the color of the golden sour. Not too dark.
Not sure about the cloudiness though!
Are we not supposed to have dark drinks?
Pee. Talking about pee here.@@jonathonschwendler4644
@@jonathonschwendler4644Your innocence is showing. 😂😂
@@howtodrinkI know another name for the "Harvey Grandma Banger."
Call it the "Lex Luthor."
If you've ever watched the movie "Superman Returns", you'll get that reference. 😏
I am just waiting for one of these drinks that he makes ending up so bad that Greg just, after the first sip just yells No multiple times and throws whatever glass the drink is at the wall behind him.
That would be neat
a B Dylan Hollis reaction!
which was the episode where greg actually did that?
@@austinpoznoski3083 He hasn't actually done that yet. If you read my comment it says "I am just waiting for..." signifying that it hasn't happened yet but I am looking forward to when it does.
@@kingbunky Now I'd like to see them collab on something. Damn you and your good idea!
This episode freaking broke me 🤣 The only thing I'd be more-into is if Greg partnered with another RUclips cocktail person, and they used this list to make drinks for each other 🥊
If you do it again, I'd love to see a Riker's Island Iced Tea. Go prison themed or Star Trek themed. Or both. Dealer's choice.
I accidentally made 1:1 simple syrup with salt instead of sugar before... Wondered why it dissolved so slowly and then used it for a Gin Basil Smash. That was undrinkable lol
Holy shit that would be awful to figure out after using it in a drink
Mmm, simple saline.
Nice, sounds like dehydration in a glass
@aaronmueller1560 you could maybe use it in a beer/beer cocktail
I know some people use salt to get beer to foam up briefly
Alternatively something maybe awful but drinkable would be a poweradey sports drink gin fizz???? Mineral water, fruit juice and... salt syrup? Salt water? Is basically a sports drink and the gin egg and citrus would make it drinkable as an alcoholic beverage? Maybe?
@@frogv2745Gfuel Old Fashioned
Some pretty good ideas that came to mind:
- Long Island Hot Tea (yum, piping hot cola!)
- Sex on Normandy Beach (you can almost taste the gunfire)
- Cheap Blowjob (Couldn’t afford the amaretto…)
- Mo*Hell-no* (a worse Mojito)
- Ramos’ Gin [male cream] (maybe some pineapple would make it sweeter…?)
- Beermosa! (My dad makes these often. Mimosa with cheap beer)
- Bloody Jerry (Its like a Bloody Mary but, minus all of the delicate charm of Mary, but instead… uh… Jerry!)
Beermosa is already a thing though. You use miller highlife (the champagne of beers)
A Beermosa sounds refreshing on a hot humid summer day
Easy Bloody Jerry: replace the vodka with Sailor Jerry's spiced rum.
oh boy... @@areit99
The bloody Jerry just has about ten hits of acid in it.
the only way to survive this episode was absolutely hammered and I respect the hell out of you for it
Definitely needs a part 2!!
All I could come up with was Mint Tulip 😂
Edit: Don't do that. Tulips are poisonous, all you could maybe do is put a tulip petal on the side for garnish.
EditEdit: Oh GOD cilantro julep sounds horrific. I have the soapy gene, that would be awful!!!
Lint Julep
Dill Julep?
Flint julep. A mint julep, but the ice is made with water from Flint, Michigan.
I thought of pepper julep and cayenne julep
@@pennyforyourthots they already said "don't do that, it's poison." I'd take my chances with the tulip.
"Mold Fashioned" ?
Queens Pork Swizzle
Dammit I just thought the same thing
With a shot of penicillin for after bringing home a random? 🤣
Blue cheese old fashioned? I'm intrigued.
Aaccttuuuaallyyyy this could be good! Koji is the race mold that is used to ferment/flavor sake, miso, and soy sauce. Using some shio koji in an old fashioned could be tasty!
So, I know the "London Fog" is not exactly a cocktail, but I'd like to see your take on a "London Frog". Failing that, maybe try turning a "Ceasar" into a "Caligula" (Or a "Nero", or "Commodus" if they inspire you more).
"Heliogabalus", with a garnish of lion poop.
Now I'm thinking how fun it would be to see Greg and Meredith do like, dueling cocktails or something. Replace one ingredient in a classic cocktail and the other person has to figure out what you swapped out and what you replaced it with. Could be fun!
I think a dill pickle brine would have been better for the Whiskey Salty.
I think an interesting take on a whisky salty is to incorporate like soy sauce or pickle juice. Some sort of salty or savory element. Either that or make a flavored saline solution, using like smoked salts or pine fir salt. Using straight salt is just gonna be understandably unpleasant.
Just a highball version of a pickleback. I’d drink that.
I like the hilarious idea of him going back and fixing these names.
I was thinking a llLaphroaig sour, the twist is that the whiskey brings the salt!
Olive brine
Onion pickle, or vietnamese fish sauce. Or Kimchi juice.
This is actually the first video of yours that was recommended on my feed and I'm glad
You're hilarious man! Love the content 🤙
If I were to ruin a drink, Id have to go with a "Mold Fashioned"
Hey, something to consider for the Whiskey Salty if it ever comes up again (or if you ever need/want to mess around with salty flavors in a cocktail again. Salted Caramel perhaps?) there is a liqueur from scandinavia/Finland called salmiakki. It's a licorice liqueur flavored with Ammonium Chloride, and apparently has a salty flavors, as well as being dry/tannin-y. I can't think of many other salty liqueurs, so maybe it's something to have in the liquor cabinet just in case you're feeling weird? I've never had it, but it can't possibly be worse than Campari or Malort.
Licorice liqueur is not uncommon in Scandinavia, there is one made from a pepper and salty licorice candy, basically that candy put in a bottle of vodka to dissolve or an extract from them mixed with vodka. If you like salty peppery candy, which many of us do, it is really nice. I think a lot of other parts of the world would consider it cursed though.
Dang, I love Proper Licorice, or at least what you can get of it in the states. I kinda wanna try salmiakki now!
i like the idea of more tiki drinks like this. like a city bird, a sponge diver, a dark n steamy, a frog cutter, a bulbasaur sling, or a butterfly bowl.
The Frog Cutter made me laugh harder than it had any right to
The dark and steamy intrigues me. What's getting replaced though? The ginger beer or the lime? Maybe replace the lime with a chili pepper?
@@omega52390 that or a hot toddy kinda situation somehow
Not the dark n steamy 😭😭😭😭😭
The Drew Carre shouldn't have regular ice; it should require Cleveland Rocks.
Bless you Greg, for the amount of sheer abuse you go through to deliver us side splitting laughs (and occasionally actually really great cocktails.)
Love the video, i don't know if this is already a thing that people have tried, but my friend once put a dash of Jägermeister into my Corona and it made it taste like a less sweet Root beer for some reason.
Really the intersection of the channel - riffing on classic cocktails according to a theme + Greg drinking very bad drinks. Nice!
I think that the best chance you could have given the whiskey salty was to use something like pickle juice instead of saline. that way it's still acidic and salty and surely someone would drink it, one of those freaks (affectionate) that likes pickle juice
I agree make a pickle brine simple syrup and proceed.
For anyone interested in using Cilantro in a drink that is actually enjoyable, try the Murphy Sour - basically a Pisco sour, but with Clementine or Mandarin orange juice, honey syrup, and a table spoon of cilantro.
We need more of these for sure!
Preserved Lemon is a really fantastic flavor, you could probably make a salted sour work
I agree. Maybe with Talisker Skye whiskey, which has salt notes in it, and is meant to be drank by the sea.
Honestly I wanna try the Harvey grandma banger with a bar spoon of rose simple and cut the cherry liquor in half for more of the grandmas perfume vibe so the st Germain doesn't get too overpowering but the grandma perfume isn't lost
Hey Greg, I haven't watched a while but I must say I love the set pieces!! Keep up the good work.
thx Greg for introducing me to angostura bitters. I love mixing it in soda for a tasty non alc cocktail that taste close to one.
It’s always funny when you get tipsy before the camera starts rolling
This was clearly not the first episode of the day.
There are times when it is just too obvious, that this has not been the only episode Greg recorded that day 😅 Sometimes I am a tad worried about your health man, don't go out young and beautiful on us 😘
He probably had to film a few to build up the courage to get to this one lol
Glad to have been of service!
In case you're interested when you're trying viewer drinks next; my 2 favorite drinks I've had are green tea with honey and baileys (it sounds weird but it's sweet and really good) and vanilla mint shake baileys with hot chocolate, I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to make either better, but both are great as is imo.
I actually wonder if you dropped the sour from the whiskey salty, cut back on the saline solution, and swapped for a demmarra or brown sugar syrup. Or even did a whiskey sour with the demmarra or brown sugar syrup with a salted rim. Especially with a whiskey with caramel notes.
Don't tempt us to try something stupid, that might actually work.
Personally, I think if he swapped the ratios of lemon juice and saline solution, it might be at least closer to drinkable. When I saw the .75 ounce saline pour I winced physically. Though seeing Greg do his 'Salty' face was certainly worth it.
Then again, 'Whiskey salty' where the 'salt' is ammonium chloride, aka salmiakki, might be an _interesting_ variation.
Yeah, maybe a kind of salted caramel vibe. It could be delicious.
Redo time! I have faith in the salted caramel drink!
My mind immediately jumped to gose when he said whiskey salty, go harder on the lemon, use some kind of coriander syrup. The maximum amount of salt used in a gose is generally 250ppm of sodium so this is just insane.
Would love to see you create one (or a few) cocktail for each century (1st century cocktail, 2nd century etc.), maybe each highlighting some part of the world or culture that was prominent during that century...
21 cocktails? Sounds like Manhattan Matrix 2: The Electric Boogaloo
Oh that would be awesome!
Very rarely do I part take. But I watch because you are an amazing and captivating personality. love watching your videos.
Best episode. Thanks Greg
I love Greg's pronunciations and emphasis in this video. Also, the creation of a brand new verb: Grandma'd.
As taught by Calvin and Hobbes: verbing nouns weirds language.
Whiskey Salty should have been made by juicing those salt preserved lemons or using the liquid from the jar that comes out of them.
I appreciate your content please make more!
SO many more of this! ❤
Fun video! Thankyou for entertaining us with your pain!
Two thoughts:
1) While not a spin on a sour, the Whiskey Salty could be a dirty whiskey martini. No doubt olive juice and whiskey would be terrible (probably?), but since picklebacks are a thing, maybe sub the olive juice for a salty pickle brine?
2) I would gone to Brennivín for the Death on the Beach: "Black Death," the Icelandic angelica schnapps. Like nasty, nasty gin. Probably not an improvement, though.
My first thought with the Harvey Gmabanger involved Lavender, as one of my grandmas was a huge fan of potpourri (or however you spell that word)
Oh, please make more episodes on this subject! I read some of the other submissions in that post-they’re too good to leave unmade!
This was fun. Would definitely watch another.
Yes, more suffering, please. Also: might I suggest a "Midori-Fashioned".
i learned coffee and lemon go well together on accident when i was eating random jelly beans and happened to get those two together. i dont drink coffee but im always trying to sell it to my friends who do
Espresso with a twist of lemon is an excellent after dinner treat.
The acidity of the lemon helps cut the bitter of the coffee, so not surprised.
This was absolutely great. Flabbergasting. Keep the series going, like, FOREVER.
please please PLEASE make more episodes like this!
Sunday content? One word, classy.
YT says it’s my strongest day to release so we’re testing it out. I think YT is probably wrong though
Also, "Stint Julep" i.e. a julep (or something roughly like it) made out of stuff you'd somehow be able to get whilst doing a prison stint.
LOL.Yikes.
Drained from the neck
1 measure of Chambord royal
1 measure of red raspberry cordial
2 measures of red wine Merlot
A few drops of Tabasco sauce
Served warm to hot.
amazing episode
I know nothing about drinks or mixology but my first thought when watching this episode is a New Fashioned. Love your content.
I would love a follow up episode where some of these are refined/redeemed. Theres potential in a few of them that with a little work could be good.
More of this please
Back to classic HTD. This was a great episode. Keep up the good work.
I was thinking this would be, "ruin by replacing one word IN THE RECIPE" and I really wanted to watch that
Thinking basically, try to sabotage these recipes and Greg tries to save them
I’d love to see one that uses rumple minze and fireball (and chocolate milk).😊
Please, be reasonable! 😂
I see that bottle of hades ambrosia in the back, and I acknowledge and love it.
Howdy! As of today, I'm seven years sober, and RUclips recommended this video to me. Thank you for reminding me that alcohol is a bad idea!
While Greg's suffering is always a highlight of my week, I do wonder which herbs would make a good julip instead of mint.
something that ends up in herbal teas maybe? Like hibiscus?
Maybe Shiso / Perilla? I'm pretty sure it's been made into a tea before, so it has potential.
Rosemary might work. If you stretch the definition of "herb" I guess vanilla could be good taste wise but not visually.
... I mean, we know what herb is a euphemism for....
Cannabis Julep.
I think sage would be decent! A nice thanksgiving variation.
Thank you for your many episodes! Not only are they informative, but equally entertaining as well😂🎉🎉
lol when greg gets pre blitz because he knows its the only way hes gonna be able to handle these drinks XD great job sir! love it!
I love the ones where they’re not totally horrible and they actually take you through a couple of flavors before giving you the weird stuff. Because they’re just so much more interesting to hear you talk about.
This is a very interesting concept and I think is worthy of a series.
Very funny ep!! Perhaps a Pine Nut Colada? Or, similarly, a Pesto Colada
I think one more like this would be great! Maybe do a Caribbean Island Iced Tea - made with 4 different rums perhaps?
I appreciate the soft landing on this one.
A “Last Curd”.
Variation on a Last Word but somehow incorporating yogurt/cottage cheese? It sounds awful and I hope you see this!
Rather than yogurt/cottage, grate some parm on top! XD
You teach us so much! Thanks😊😊😊❤❤❤
Do I really though? I mean, I don't think you should learn this...

When i was in college i used to often get greatful deads.. what if ungrateful dead
grateful dread?
Dunno if you know but there's a DnD play show called tales from the leaky dragon were their opening bit for every episode is a tavern keeper telling about their different fantasy drinks. Might be fun to recreate some of them.
Shamu Sweat made me chuckle out loud 😂
Golden sour makes me think of this old ish book that had a cocktail called "Golden friendship". Always thought the name didn't age too well lol.
Old bartending books hit different for that reason.
I also made a cocktail named Golden Shower, non ironically, which turned out pretty good
Back when Bacardi still made the pink label 151 proof rum (1990s), I accidentally grabbed a bottle for making Long Islands. (I was in a rush at the store and didn't notice what I grabbed.) I only realized it when my dad asked me to pour him a rum and coke. (The wire flame arrestor gave it away. It was all down bottle after that.) Needless to say, I didn't have a long island ice tea. I had a five mile island iced tea. I also had a ride to my parent's house and would be picking up my truck from my aunt's house the next day. There is more to the story and events later that night, but that's a tale for another video.
Well...the Whiskey Salty was a bust. How about the Whiskey Spicy, Whiskey Bitter, or Whiskey Sweet?
(various Pokémon with different natures perk up)
I missed this request, so maybe y'all can help me with the joke drink my friends and I have been trying to perfect: the Tom Cummings.
I'm a huge fan of Tom Collins. One evening, while making myself one, a friend misspoke and called it a "Tom Cummings". Everyone got a laugh out of it, but then started debating what would make a Tom Collins become such a thing. The only thing we agreed on was that the final product should be white or semi-translucent white, so that it imitated the look of... well, y'know. Potentially, if it ended up getting thicker or slimier, that would be acceptable too.
Some ideas people came up with were:
1. Mix something into the club soda to make it foggy, such as sugar or potentially cornstarch.
2. Modify the recipe so that it has an egg white, making it closer to a White Lady.
3. Use Calpico, either in place of the club soda or in place of the lemon juice/simple syrup.
4. Convert it to a pudding or Jello shot, just accepting that it is no longer obviously connected to the original Tom Collins.
I've been experimenting with these options to create the ideal Tom Cummings, but I haven't quite found the flavor profile that satisfies me. It is my white whale. Help would be appreciated.
You could add white mica or flax seed gel if you're looking for slimy
@@caspianm4745 Huh, I've never heard of flax seed gel, does it have a flavor? Slimy is fine with me, as long as it's white-ish and has most of the flavors of a Tom Collins.
I am similarly trying to make themes drinks around an awful French kids show
“Cleveland rocks” would have also been an acceptable toast for the Drew Carre
Yeah; more of this, please.
I would love to see what you could do with Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper Syrup or making stuff Dr. Pepper flavored. (Might have caught a theme there) Truly enjoy your content as a former bartender. Thanks.
Funny, I posted an idea with Dr. Pepper on the community post: a Pepper Plane, a Paper Plane lengthened with Dr. Pepper. I was taking some inspiration from how bad those "splash of Sprite" drinks ended up being, but I imagine you could actually make something decent with a Dr. Pepper syrup/reduction/taste profile.
What is Dr, pepper's flavor? I genuinely don't know.
@@DoveAlexa It's very complex. Officially it has 23 distinct flavors, but of those it tastes most like vanilla, root beer, cherry, and almond to me.
This is a great idea. I'm also curious if there's anything interesting to be done with Dr. Pepper alternatives, like Pibb (or my personal favorite, doc, absolutely delicious stuff, like Dr. Pepper with more distance from cough syrup).
@@DoveAlexait’s based off prune juice but has a bunch of other flavors added
The cilantro could be exchanged for Rosemary, that would be heaps better I'd think.
My ideas: paincauser. Variant on a painkiller. Swap the rum with xiaoling wine
Shlong island iced tea.
Bong island iced tea.
Cow's knees. Replace the honey with sweetened coffee creamer (the cheap stuff from the grocery store)
