Well, technically, you got first, bud.
@@thejoker5958 I now understand your gimmick
Greg seriously dude. If you need ideas; reaction content. You can always do reaction content. Do you realize how many people react to your content? Hell do a collab with mikemgtv he would lose his shit. How about all the whiskey guys who react to you? You're a huge name in the alcohol world.
@Kylen Monahan definitely agree with this comment and hope this comment get a lot of likes.
Where'd ya get that glass you used for the first drink, cherubs?
Make a list of spirits, bitters, ingredients, toppings, and measures, and use a dice to get random mixes, and if lady luck have you they'll be good.
Roll for Beverage Crimes!
This speaks to the D&D nut in me.
Now THAT is a cocktail table
I want to float this idea by a couple of my buddies that run bars. See if they would be open to experimenting. $10 rolled cocktails.
Shut up and take my money! That's a damn good idea for a drinking game.
After the Cherubs kiss remake, now i want more episodes like "h2d-911", "help me greg", or "fix my drink" with viewer submissions that you make, taste, then improve.
The Drink Doctor
“Grab your tin, the doctor is in.”
Absolutely! Greg has a ton of experience that the average home-bar-haver can't easily (or affordably) replicate!
@@NastierNate "The Drink Doctor" love it. definitely better than what i came up with :)
"Cocktail Support" - take a page out of Wired's book.
love it, I'd watch.
"I'm not going to remake that drink."
Immediately remakes drink.
Not only did Greg remake the drink he said he wouldn't remake, but he also spent more time on it than any other drink.
Classic Greg!
Something about Greg getting drunk as the episodes progress feels comforting lol. Like you had a couple friends over for dinner and cocktails
You hear a lot of toffery about how different glasses affect your drinking experience to the point where it's criminal if you use the wrong glass for the wrong drink. Maybe that can be an episode, given it's literally to do with "how to drink". Exploring glasses and whether or not it really does affect the drinking experience _that_ much. Could even wring out two episodes from it, given wine is pretty much a world unto itself, and then spirits and cocktails have their own thing going on.
I like this idea
@@thedangerdave7167 Me too, the design of so many glasses are interestingly designed and I wonder how bartenders throughout history have figured out how they should design them
Yes! This! I always use the same glass for everything lol
I would really like to see this!
Really like this idea!
This was amazing!!! Having a bit of a fan girl moment seeing you review my drink! Thank you so much for the feedback, and I'll be trying The Cherub's Kiss V.2 very soon!!!
Also, the screenname was more a reference to Lord of the Rings (Tom Bombadil and Goldberry's song, to be specific), but I'll have to check out what Bull on the Heather is! lol
@@knipey123 Bull in the Heather is a song by Sonic Youth. That might be what he was thinking of.
Your drink sounded really interesting and tasty!
I'm really excited to hear what you think of Greg's version! Your drink sounded super good
Was the drink intended to be a homestuck reference by any chance?
A monthly mailbag episode would be a good source for a fairly-easy episode in terms of planning. And if there's one thing fans love, it's to feel like they contributed meaningfully to their favorite creators' process.
Agreed, but maybe quarterly? Give time for suggestions to build up.
You know when they named the drink "The Cherub's Kiss" I'm sure they meant the little baby looking angels, but all I can think of are the original Cherubim, the angels that look like multi headed man beasts with six wings.
Biblically accurate angels for the creep factor and body horror.
All i can think of are the cherub servitors
That might be what we should name that Jaeger/Turkey thing after.
@@kurgerbing9491 The Emperor smiles upon his followers
@@kurgerbing9491 oh god why
YOOOOOOO, so stoked you made my drink!! I call it the Benny Bahama, but I like your name for it too lmao. The idea was to try and find ways to use jager in drinks that aren't just party shots. I also do typically light the overproof and splash cinnamon on top for effect. I love your advice and notes and will definitely try your V2 and then try to further evolve the drink to find out what the secret ingredient/ratio is. Thank you so much for your advice and continuous amazing content. Love you and your content and I'm glad to have caught your eye! p.s. - if you ever need a video editor for any of your other content endeavors, I'm available!
"The Drink v2" in my opinion should have been made in a stand alone glass up until you want to shake it, then prepare your chilled shaker, pour in 1/4oz of absinthe, shake just the absinthe, and then poor it out leaving only what clings to the ice and shaker itself. Then introduce the rest and shake again. I would also forgo the lime boat personally and just float a spoon or two of the OFTD over the snow and garnish with 2 soaked cherries in the same rum. As far as the pineapple juice goes, I can see how the sweetness might throw off the balance (its a cloying sweetness thay doesn't have much secondary character) and might replace it with like a blood orange juice instead? Might have to bring in a background sweetener at that point though.
I know my opinion wasnt really asked for, but I figure as another person who likes to build cocktails you may find another perspective interesting.
@@Walrus907interesting idea!
Thank you your unwanted input, I love hearing about peoples drink ideas who have some knowledge about cocktails.
I just have a few questions:
Do you really think your way of using the absinthe gives a drink any difference in taste, then just adding a little bit?
I really dislike the idea of discarding a perfectly good spirit, just to have a more fancy looking presentation.
It made Sazeracs really dislikable for me, even if I’m a total high quality old fashioned guy amd like the taste of Sazerac a lot on occasion.
It’s especially good on hot humid nights and even better when there’s a bit of voodoo in the air ;)
Then I just added dashes of absinthe and it tasted completely the same but I didn’t felt guilty afterward so I use this for every cocktail these days where it says „coat the glass“ or something similar.
To me good fresh pineapple juice has an amazing flavor profile that definitely has complexity and really is more tart as sweet if it’s completely natural.
When the pineapple is exactly right and not to ripe it is amazing and definitely not to sweet.
If you take regular store bought stuff your absolutely right however!
1. Wild Turkey is an excellent bourbon 2. Jager is not a pastis or anisette it's an herbal liqueur like Fernet 3. I love you I love you I love you
How did it go with your experimentation?
Have you tried the Reconstructed Surfer on Acid? It's basically the same drink with slightly different proportions and pineapple rum instead of bourbon. It's really good!
The huge oversized flashing LEMON over the whole visual Meredith put in on the last drink had me rolling. Masterful comedy.
Last time I was this early, Greg broke his toe.
Never forget that mug
Making a Flaming Moe.....
I’ve genuinely never heard anyone say they don’t like Wild Turkey 101 before, this is… intriguing, honestly.
To each their own, not poo-pooing, just got caught off guard with Greg saying he doesn’t like it, and calling it a “bad bourbon”
I think peak HTD is experimenter flavor-pioneer Greg. An episode or series where you just take a series of slightly off the cuff ingredients or liquers (Domaine Canton’s Ginger Liquer comes to mind) and try to find interesting ways to showcase/use them sounds super entertaining. Not just Pirates Bay Sun Tan Lotion and other nightmares, but using just some slightly odd ingredients and playing with them to see what they can do.
Wild Turkey slander! It's consistently considered one of the best value bourbons in the market today, which I wholeheartedly agree with. Give me WT101 over almost all bourbons under $40.
"that's what we're doing today, because I ran out of ideas"
We love you, Greg
I know y’all probably won’t do this again but if given the chance- I make this very girly version of a Zombie (might be incorrect on that- there’s no rum 😅) but it will get you messed up if you can’t stand your family at brunch. I actually used to double all the measurements for myself but it would get me UNBELIEVABLY belligerent:
This is The Libra
2oz Gin
1oz Elderflower Liqueur
1/2oz lavender simple syrup (I like a little less if you want it less sweet)
2 dashes of cucumber bitters
Pour into a collins glass with ice and top with soda water and peach iced tea. You can also multiply this and put put it in a pitcher as a lovely punch.
Depending on the strength of the lavender, this sounds incredibly pleasant to even just sip on.
There's a bar near my college with a similar drink; no idea about the ratios, but the ingridients are gin, St Germain, lavender syrup, lemon juice, and celery bitters. A bit strong for my taste (especially since it comes in a fairly large serving) but definately tasty
Scottish Kilt Flapper:
Served in whisky glass
2 shots of Johnny Walker Green (Choose your color)
1 shot of Butterscotch Snapps
(Shake well)
Fill glass to brim with Ginger Beer
Garnish with a slice of lime and shaved nutmeg
My original recipe.
That sounds delightful!
Greg, WT 101 isn't a "shitty bourbon". Crowdsourcing shows it's a pretty great budget bottle. It scores highly in blind tastings regularly. Probably is in that cocktail though. That doesn't surprise me.
Yea, I LOLd when he said it was a shitty bourbon. By itself at least, that is objectively false.
It could be cool to do an episode where you combine two different cocktails. You could even randomize it and you might get something really cool/weird. I've had the idea for a while for a mashup of a painkiller and a Penicillin called the Panacea, but I don't have scotch, ginger syrup, or a cocktail RUclips channel, so it's all yours if you want to give it a go.
Something I designed largely out of spite was something called the Evil Wizard. Originally it used Fireball - because you gotta have a fireball if you're an evil wizard, right? - but Fireball tastes like it should be part of some kind of industrial ore-refining process so I'm using a different kind of whiskey that someone might actually want to drink. It is intended as a very spirit-forward "blow your face off" cocktail, because I send it to friends I don't like much. Here's the recipe!:-
---
*EVIL WIZARD*
2oz Black Bottle blended whisky (you want a sweet but smoky whisky that would work with cinnamon, and also if you use a single malt in a cocktail I will shoot you)
2oz Mr. Black coffee liqueur (combination of colour and combination with the cinnamon flavours)
1oz Lambs navy rum (any very, very dark overproof rum will work, but I like navy rum because I hate myself)
1-2 dash Ango (is it even a cocktail without a dash of ango?)
Cinnamon sticks in a cocktail smoker
TO MAKE: Build in the shaker and shake with your usual method, one big cube and one crushed cube. Shake until combined, then pour into a mixing glass. Infuse with cinnamon smoke. Then gated pour into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube. Add smoke for decoration. Serve to someone you don't like. =]
I've taken basically this same drink, added a half oz of absinthe, and diluted it 1:1 with fresh apple cider for some great autumn jungle juice
I didn't ask how big the room is, I CAST FIREBALL!
@howtodrink
My god man... That's a terrifying cocktail
@David Mathieson proceeds to kill own party...
Love this format, Greg.
Try a cocktail suggestion from a viewer, test it out, improve as necessary. This let's your own creativity/expertise shine, while educating your audience on what flavors to pair in what proportions. Great stuff!
Fun new format!! Any chance we could get a nonalcoholic episode sometime? Maybe focused on nonalcoholic substitutes or original drinks? I love the channel and always want to try out the drinks, but I can’t thanks to a medical condition 😅
Would also allow Meredith to get in on the fun too, since she can't drink right now.
I seem to remember him doing something with non-alcoholic versions of common cocktail ingredients, but I'm also not convinced that it wasn't a fever dream
i'm pretty sure he did an episode on zero abv cocktails around 2 months ago, though im not sure if thats exactly what yr looking for?
There are at least 3 off the top of my head that they've got so far: the no-ABV one from 2 months ago, a non-alcoholic spirits review from a couple of years ago, and the one with Brennan Lee Mulligan from last summer.
Yes, I'm a nerd😊
28:27 ice cube slam dunks are how we know Greg is 4 drinks in 😂
One video idea I have is international drink collection and trying different mixed drinks with them as ingredients.
As a Finn, I suggest our aquired taste of a drink: Salmiakki Koskenkorva, which is Salty Liquorice Vodka*. It might hit like a truck, but we Finns legitimately love it.
*Koskenkorva is a Finnish spirit that is a little bit different than vodka, but legally it is classified as a vodka
Oh, I forgot the other video idea I've thrown before: Ice cracking supercut!
Oh damn you, now I want to go to Finland and get myself some Salmiakki again.
In the Netherlands, we've got something similar called Dropshot. It's 'traditionally' made by soaking licorice in vodka. The kinds of licorice vary between recipes and sometimes sugar is added (for example, when using pure, black licorice or very salty (NH4Cl) kinds). There is also a commercial version from one of the large Dutch distilleries (same name).
salmiakki koskenkorva
I've read before of you Finns and your EU-defying love of salty licorice!
Love this, hope this format does well. I really appreciate seeing you critique/workshop drinks, and being honest about your feelings. It's encouraging me to do more experimentation when it comes to the drinks I make at home
Hey, if you're out of episode ideas, I'd love to see a primer on garnishes. I know you say most of your garnishes for the show are off the cuff, but as someone who wants to get better at drink presentation, a few tips would be appreciated. (aesthetic vs functional, common tools and ingredients, etc).
Id love to see this
Want this one too
I love the way you described the proper sweet/sour ratios- my coworkers and I call drinks like that "tingle-y" and we love those cocktails
Watching Greg get trashed by accident because there were 2 really good drinks is always great.
This was a fun episode. Please continue doing this with more of the submissions!
I don't think I've seen a Lovecraft Mythos inspired drink video from you yet, and I'd love to! There's a bunch of thematic elements (visual or otherwise) attached to the entities from the stories that I would love to be interpreted into drinks!
Definitely would be so cool to see with the right research and I'm sure Greg has super cool glasses he can pour into to make it an awesome final result.
The Call of Cthulhu...
"WHAZAAAAAP!?"
😁
this was such a fun episode, especially watching how you modified the drinks to make it your own. Hope you do more like this!
fav episode in a while, hope this becomes a recurring thing - nice to see Greg's constructive insights go towards a drink someone is already out to make the best it can be
I actually really like seeing you do this type of video! I was a bit worried simply because I can’t even imagine how many suggestions you get across multiple platforms, but honestly seeing you make the drink the fan’s way, critiquing and improving it your own way and giving a kind of before-and-after assessment is a lot of fun! I hope you do more of these, at least until you find out what you want to do with your videos next. Maybe sprinkle these videos throughout; they’re quite fascinating and educational!
I like this - I'd like a bit more Meredith in it, but yes, more of this! BTW mine a riff on the mudslide:
1 part double cream
1 part white rum (overproof would be good)
1 part Bailey's
1 part Kalua/Tia Maria
blend with ice
I think videos like this are fun for others than the featured people, too! I enjoy reading the comments and often take a screenshot of interesting recipes I never end up making. I also love seeing improved recipes! Videos with bad drinks aren’t as intriguing as ones where you fix them.
so i posted the names of one of my d&d character's known cocktails on a mixology video, asked what they thought it was, here is what they came out to be
Hunter's brew: 1p Jaegermeister 2p ginger beer, stir the Jaegar over ice if not chilled beforehand, strain into collins glass, add one large ice spear, top with ginger beer and garnish with a black spruce sprig if available, (or mint if you're not from the arctic circle... pleb.)
Honeyed words: 2p vodka 1dash cinnamon schnappes 3p sweet mead and a pinch of grated nutmeg, shake the vodka and schnappes, strain into a coupe, float the mead on top, dust with nutmeg, express and garnish with an orange peel. A clove is optional. (Resist the urge to use a cinnamon stick)
Knight's oath: literally any mulled wine served hot during winter in a beer stein. Bonus if spiked with cheap apricot brandy.
Pillow talk: 2p cognac 1p Grand Marnier 2 dashes absinthe stirred over ice and strained into champagne glass, fill with champagne, express and garnish with orange peel like usual.
I'll have a pillow talk please 🥂

Honestly, the "Greg runs out of ideas" episodes are some of the funniest.
I almost fell off my $79 open-box Wayfair office chair when Greg said that Wild Turkey was shitty bourbon. It's pretty great for the price imo, especially for 101 proof!
Oh, are we sharing original drinks?
I came up with this one recently, and I think it's turned out really well!
The Elder Goddess:
1/2 oz cinnamon syrup
1/4 oz demerara syrup
3/4 oz lime juice (I used super juice so you might want to up it a small amount if you're using fresh)
1/2 oz grapefruit juice
1/4 oz elderflower liqueur
1/2 oz Yuzu gin (I can't speak for any other gins if you don't have Yuzu)
1/2 oz Smith & Cross
1 oz El Dorado
1 dash Absinthe
1 dash Tiki bitters
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Shake with ice, open pour into tumbler or tiki mug (Cthulhu preferred), garnish with mint.
You can tell it's tiki because of the six million ingredients in it
Nice! A zombie riff with gin and st germain sounds really good
I'm upset with myself I missed the chance to send something in; I'll have to check out more of your social media for next time. That being said! With the end of Winter creeping up, The Melty Snowman is the strangest-best concoction I ever stumbled across. 2 parts Irish Creme (Baileys or other) 3 Parts Dr. Pepper, and 3-5 Parts Milk. Dry shake to froth with the carbonation from the Dr Pepper. Tastes like a Whopper Malt Ball candy, drinks like a Milkshake
Infuse dry gin with earl gray tea, one half ounce lemon juice, two ounces of infused gin, one ounce of Domaine de canton ginger liqueur, sparkling water or seltzer as a wash. Stirred so as not to flatten the carbonation. Express and garnish with lemon peel. I sold hundreds of the damn things. It's called the "high tea" I came up with it when I was buck wild on infusions
I love that Greg didn’t hold back on his thoughts. 😂😂😂
Could only imagine how many people post drink concoctions ideas on your RUclips channel comments and DM to your Instagram page. If this episode has enough traction to do more episodes creating drink idea from submissions to your various social media platforms. I have posted a couple ideas that could be good or perhaps really bad idea like the Deadite idea I had which is basically a coffee version of a Corpse Reviver.
I really dug this episode! Seeing you work through these drinks and throw your expertise at them, getting an idea of how you mix and the impact of the changes, was a lot of fun.
Another great episode. Always entertaining.👏👏
I really enjoyed you talking us through your thought process when remaking the drinks. I'd love to see more of these.
Definitely would love to see this become a series! Really fun to explore the creative stuff people come up with for drinks and see how you would play with them to change or improve.
Haven't seen the whole episode yet but this whole concept did compel me to immediately pull it up and start watching
Honestly one of my favorite episodes. Love seeing any video where you really workshop is drink
This was great! Love watching Greg workshop and improve upon drinks.
Ooh fun! Sad I missed the submissions. Would love to put something in if/when you do this again.
Make sure to follow his socials and get notifications. Or at least check his community tab here, but I think he focused on Twitter recommendations.
Episode idea: make drinks based on food, like a drink wich tastets like pankakes or tomatosoup
What a fun episode! Love to see the variety of drinks, can't wait to see more.
Love this type of video, so keep 'em coming, especially since you also seem to like them
Had Woodford Reserve & Pineapple Juice, definitely suggest that as a switchout for the Wild Turkey, although you might want something stronger to combat the other ingredients
The cherub's kiss looks DIVINE. agree that a diff gin would work better with those flavours but I'm Def willing to find the right one
Report back when you find the best ones lmao
Such a good idea for a video series! Its cool to see what random things people choose to drink, and the way you tweak and modify them to elevate the drink is very entertaining and insightful!!
I haven't watched HTD in a little while and is great Greg's fully in his element. I love these type of videos.
love the episodes where greg pronounces orgeat right (to me at least)
This drink is quickly rising on my favorite drink menu, been having a hard time finding the name of the drink in my black book so I will post it here to see if anyone recognizes it.
Recipe goes as followed:
1. Add ice to a glass (you can shake but I prefer to stir this drink, less dishes), can be served hot as well just remove the ice for the hot version
2. Add 2 oz. of Kalua or Coffee Liqueur whichever is available
3. Add 2 oz. Crème de Cacao or Godiva white/dark or Chocolate liqueur, use which you prefer I typically use Godiva
4. Add .5 oz. Crème de Menthe or 1 sprig of Mint Muddled or Peppermint Schnapps, use which you prefer I typically use Crème de Menthe
5. Fill remainder of glass with one of the following: Half and Half, Almond Milk (If lactose intolerant), Hot chocolate (If you want the hot version)
6. Stir or Shake
7. Garnish how you like, I don't garnish unless I am making this for company
8. Enjoy
Quick Warning: This drink will sneak up on you real quick, so please don't drink and drive. Great drink if you want to unwind/need a nap.
Thanks in advance to anyone that recognizes this drink. :)
thats a peppermint patty from the show Archer
@@chairofthebored ty, i thought the recipe was familiar.
This was really enjoyable. I liked watching you work shop the drinks and the feedback!
Love this episode. Hope you do another one of these. I have some recipes I'd like you to taste test.
Would love to see you make the recipes from "Lobscouse and Spotted Dog", the recipe book based on the Master and Commander book series.
Oh this was wonderful, I’ve been hoping you’d do something like this for a while now. I’ll have to sub on patreon for sure because I have a recipe for you!
Please do more of these. Also I just tried a Bitters and Soda. I'm obsessed now.
Aw man, I just made a really simple drink by just riffing on what I had in my kitchen and immediately went "Man, this would be fun to see if GregFromH2D had anything to say about how this could / should work." I'll need to keep my eye open for if you do this again! Love this video!
Please do one of the Drinks from Monster Prom, Camp, or Roadtrip
You should explore the most popular drinks in different countries across the world. Just pick a couple countries every episode, boom more content for a couple months
They’re the same drinks
I loved this!!
It was fun, full of surprise, it looked like you were enjoying yourself, it was educational as you explained the whys of stuff and the effects of the ingredients, did cool remakes; there were grimaces and hatred and loss -- and that triumph at the end! Lovely 🙆🏾♀️✨
I hope you do more of these! 🥂
That Nakatomi sour at the end had my culinary senses tingling, the flavors intrigued me. Not surprised it turned out great!
The specific angle of *critiquing and tweaking* the viewer-submitted drinks really elevates this from a filler "mailbag" kinda episode to a legitimate feature I'd love to see more of!
"So the Wild Turkey is kind of a shitty bourbon"
Bourbon fans are going to come out of the woodwork to respond to that one lol
yup, here goes
True bourbon fans would agree with the sentiment. Wild Turkey is trash lmao
i mean, a rum cherub makes sense, it's got a lot of tiki vibes in it already
My favourite pre drinks cocktail I make by the litre.
75ml citrus juice of your taste (I go for 2 parts lime to 1 lemon)
50ml limoncello,
50ml Cointreau,
150ml of dark navy rum or gin depending on your mood (it really changes the drink which base you use)
top up with tonic, add sugar/simple to taste
Dude, circled back to this video today to tell you how much I love passionfruit bc of this video. Made the alt version of the cherubs kiss with fresh mint for easter and it was a HIT 🤘and to this day one of my fav drinks!
This is cool, especially if you want to mess with something and experiment. It gives ideas to those that submitted and other people.
Perfect episode idea! Fun to see viewer recipes tried and critiqued. Would love to see more in future!
Great episode, it's really helpful to see how to iterate on and improve our own creations.
Yes please, this is great we need more!
I love your content already, but I think this kind of video is something special, I love seeing not just what the community comes up with for mixes, but what you do to adapt it to your liking. I would love to see more of this. Make it maybe like a weekly thing apart from your regular content. Who knows, might be incentive for people to join your patreon so they can submit their recipes in the discord for a chance to see you make it on screen. Sounds like a banger to me! Whatever you do, keep being you, you're awesome.
REALLY DIGGING the mailbag! It helps to see how you tweak the recipes because it explains how to craft a recipe. I end up with a lot of almost good drinks and don’t know where to go from there. Seeing you riff on these gives me the concrete next steps to try with my own crafts.
Watching you workshop inspires me to experiment with the ingredients in my bar. Would love to see more of this.
I like lemoncello and sweet tea. It's super easy and basic but a nice summer drink to drink on the front porch.
More of this, please. Very enjoyable.
I love this episode and hope the format returns in the future. Further; I love tipsy Greg so much.
this episode was wonderful! I would absolutely love this to be a series
Loved this video! More of these!
This was great - I like this new format
this format reminds me of those old recipe booklets put together by a community somewhere with a bunch of recipes people just kinda made up or have in their family, my grandma had a bunch stuffed in her bookcase. i enjoyed this more than i expected tbh for something where i dont really have an expected theme to the episode or drinks coming into it, maybe there could be, like it could be by type of drink (sours, tiki, martini, a certain type of spirit, idk) or location (i wonder what drinks there are that are more common in other places), i think of a lot of the videos Beryl Shereshewsky does where people send in like what they have for breakfast where theyre from or what they put on toast or rice or how they prepare eggs and so on a and she makes and tries it. its neat cause it feels like theres community participation, it feels more social and thats fun.
This was a good one. I hope it does well enough to make more of these worth your while. Kind of sad mine didn't get in, but I saw the hundreds of comments just on RUclips with ideas. It'd be like winning the lottery.
Dig the format of this episode very much. Hope you do more.
Really enjoyed this. You should make this a regular series if you enjoy it too Greg!
Killer format! This works on soo many levels!
Glad I'm not alone in liking this new ep. Really cool to see what the community brings and then Greg's twists/opinions. I wanna submit something next time!
Your biceps are amazing. As a person who has had gastric bypass surgery my favorite drink as a late is Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi with red stag love all your shows
This is great. I love to watch you be all analytical on drinks!
I love watching the mixologist in you come to life especially with suggesting improvements upon viewer drinks
I know you were hesitant to do a "mail bag" episode, but I really enjoyed this. It's helpful to hear how you take these specs and adjust them. Walking through that thought process out loud is quite instructive.
