Sadly, a few of my favorites actually couldn’t wind up in this because I don’t really have the files anymore, I think I may need to start doing an annual version of this maybe.

Do the "How to Drink Yearly Rewind" where every December, you do a series of long form videos going over your favorite drinks from the year. Favorite gaming drinks, favorite twists on a classic, etc etc. Should be a slam dunk series.
What where the un-salvagable favorites?
You must make an awful drink prominently featuring the Cock'n Bull. And you must call it... well, you know what I'm gonna say here.
We need to know what a Cock'n Bull Torture would taste like.
Wait, "don't have the files?" We need to know which ones so we can archive them from RUclips. ( For when we eventually publish our pirate versions of your cocktail book).
@@watata1t I think one was the Ambrosia from _Hades_ considering the glowing description he gave of it at the time.
Pour one out for Lance Reddick. He voiced Commander Zavala in Destiny for 9 years.
If you’re playing the game, there’s this thing going ‘round to do up your character in Vanguard shaders for remembrance.
Indeed.
And Thordak the ancient red dragon in Vox Machina
And Sylens in the Horizon Zero Dawn franchise.
We definitely need “the Commander” as a drink.
im not sure but i think greg might be pretty proud of his cyberpunk series
I mean the guy has become a legend in night city. He did make the johnny silverhand drink. The best terrorist themed drink in the world
Surprised the Noble Pursuit from Breath of the Wild didn't make the list. Not surprised the Johnny Silverhand did, though. I mean, heck...THAT drink got imported into the game proper and CDPR even sent Greg a cool rocks glass from the Afterlife to use!
BTW, CDPR? Sell those glasses as merch. You will make a mint.
i also wanted to say that somehow the drink is super thematically appropriate for Johnny, a dark and enticing drink that can threaten to overwhelm you if your not prepared but its well layered and compelling.
As a non-drinker and big fan of your channel, I'd personally really enjoy a compilation of your best non-alcoholic drinks. Based on your reaction to it I assume the Double Death Commando will be there, but I'd love to see more! Hopefully enough people also want this to make it a worthwhile video, haha
Honestly, one of my favorites you’ve done was the Phoenix Down you made for an Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia sponsorship. I even gave it to my mom and she loved it to death
That sounds like the opposite of the intended effect, good thing it gives Raise status.
Hopefully the drink "died" and not your mom.
Love these compilations
You should absolutely play and make drinks from Deep Rock Galatic
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!?
Rock and Stone, Brothas!!
*IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YOU AIN'T COMIN' HOME!*
and could I get it thinned with some water?
@@zanderwight872 NO LEAF LOVERS ARE WELCOME ON MY WATCH
Please do one of the drinks from Monster Prom, Monster Camp, or Monster Roadtrip
OMG I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT!!!!!! HE SHOULD DO SOME OF EM
Yes! That would be hilarious.
Considering how many of those drinks flagrantly violate physics, causality, and/or narrative consistency, it'd certainly be an interesting flavour profile!
I played Disco Elysium because of your how to drink episode and absolutely feel in love with the game~ so thank you for an amazing game suggestion!
I like these retrospective eps. Over the many years I've watched, you've changed a lot of the go-to spirits, tools, and techniques you'll use in the show.
I think a cool ep would be to talk about what of all these have withstood the test of time for you. You've tried a lot of things over the years (homemade orgeat, herb preservation tools/techniques, different base spirits, different sponsored and unsponsored mixing tools, etc), but regardless of what new hotness gets published, produced, or marketed, what are things you always go back to doing or using when making mixed drinks?
I'm going to embarress myself if I already commented this on the original video but. . . . . I was once told by a Person that used to work in the print industry for whisky labeling that there's a region in Japan called Scotland. Specifically named so they could write on their own bottles made in Scotland but it's entirely produced in Japan. Its something of a funny backhanded compliment to think the title of Scotland is highly reveared that they would go to such lengths to have it on their botles.
as an aside "para bellum" literally means "prepare for war"-- the 9mm parabellum is named for the phrase "si vis pacem para bellum"-- if you would wish for peace, prepare for war.
Your Estus Flask video is actually what got me to try alcohol in the first place. I didn’t get the appeal at all before but after seeing that video, I’ve since become incredibly fascinated with mixology and have been making drinks for friends and family for nearly 3 years now. Thank you for the amazing content Greg!
I still maintain you missed a key part in the tincture of queensfoil, the in game substance is said to taste like the queens favorite blackberry tea which is the reason for the name, and there's clear blackberry vodkas you could've used in place of the Citron
My favourite drinks were the CP2077 ones, cause they came with lore and a genuine interest from your side. They also happened to be the ones that got me to sub eventually.
This episode made me think about Disco Elysium again. What a truly legendary game, and a perfect candidate for this show.
Dude, the editing on that intro was fantastic.
I've never been one to drink but this channel, hearing all the flavors and how they work together, makes me want to get into drink mixing. You make this seem so special!
Lol I found you in highschool and have seen every episode except for 2-3 “gross drink” episodes because it grosses me out. Love this channel. The og videos feel like a club if you’ve seen them organically.
I still think you should reach out through Brennan and make your Critical Role Drinks for the Critical Role Cast... just saying...
Best of videos are great idea for the channel. Epsecially with them being longer videos. Keep it up, your always quite entertaining
I just had a dream where a HTD videogame existed in the form of a Gameboy bootleg with 20 bootleg games on it and then a game drink compilation releases. lmao.
Love this concept. I have jumped to different episodes trying to find either a recipe or discussion about a drink/item/technique. Ex. You mentioned a simple, non alcohol, fizzy drink with bitters.
With that said, I love long videos, but than no pay bills, lol. So I would probably edit down the longer ones so maybe 3 or 4 drinks per 20 min episode. You know better than me. That way, multiple episodes can be made into a Playlist for bingers like me. You can also link the original videos to drive traffic back to those.
I actually found out about Akashi like 6 years ago after a trip to China and has since been one of my favourite Whisky's of all time due to it's smoothness and subtle red berry aftertaste
Perhaps a show on the Canadian Bloody Caesar…there must be 10+ different types of Clamato you could try…with or without different types of toppers.
another great video. thanks for uploading!
I've been loving your stirred Cosmo Canyon recipe this week.
Made the Sunset Parabellum tonight after an intense work week. Woah, you're right that Mr. Black and Chartreuse play nicely together! It was such an unusual combination that I would not have come up with. That recipe is a keeper for sure. Will be making it again. Thanks for the great channel and recipes.
I like this sort of thing. Do more of it!
So glad I found this episode, almost missed it
could be the dark souls lover in me but estus was just brilliant, sir. one time i was out of pisco and subbed it with spiced rum and it was divine! definitely a top 5 cocktail for me.
For the queensfoil, put the Ango in a straw. Stick the straw in with your finger over the end, remove your finger, and pull out the straw.
I'm so happy you included the Critical Role drinks, because that's how I discovered your channel.
I've seen every episode! The pandemic times were a good time to catch up
Always enjoy the drinks you concoct! If I may make a suggestion for a theme episode, how about, since hollywood is adamant of making remakes & reboots, why not do the same with your drinks? If you could go back and "remake" a drink which one(s) would you do? I think it would be a fun idea.
Sad to see that the Titans Blood from the Hades episode didn't make the list. It's been a huge hit amongst my friends.
DESTINYYYYY Let's go lol I love this nerdy approach!
I first found your channel with your Sunset Sarsaparilla New Vegas drink. Still the one i really want to try to make on my own one of these days.
Im personally a little my favorite drinks did not make it in to the list but still great video either way and watching these brings a smile to my face
If this ends up being a series you should call it “Remixed” or something like that
I wonder if HTD could do a video for a few fun and easy drinks that you could do for college party that would turn out to be a great hit!
My favorite of your gaming drinks episodes was the one on Hades. I'm not at all a drinker but I want to try all of those.
Awesome Video! Hey, maybe you could make a vid with bottle recommendations for a well equipped and versatile bar (beginner , intermediate and advanced Level). I love your recipes, but the sheer amount of possible choices for whiskey, rum, etc is overwhelming, and budget- and space restrictions make it really difficult to buy stuff. I am too afraid to buy a bottle for 30 bucks or more just to learn, that it only works for one specific recipe or not at all 😅
Looking forward for what comes next
Okay I did a small amount of research and found the perfect yellow additive for the Cyber Punk cocktail. Snowy River Yellow cocktail Glitter! it’s neon yellow! great video Greg!
Really enjoying the Jackie Welles. Using a Honey Whisky like Jack or Jim Honey works well. Still trying to find Irish mist. But I mix it half vodka half honey. Then to the near top with ginger beer and whole lime (with pulp) to the top. Mix and serve. The honey comes out and Ginger lime is refreshing.
I keep seeing the Johnny Silverhand you make there at the end and always want to try making it but cannot find a beer even close to that in style! Hope I will be able to try it someday!
I really liked your Sunset Sarsaparilla video as well, though I'm biased because I also love Fallout New Vegas
really underrated account, you’re like if YSAC mixed with Cocktail Chemistry
Do you have an episode using the different flavors of hot peppers? I made a habanero simple syrup that I use a lot in summer drinks but would like to see what you could come up with.
for the Queens Foil, you could also take a syringe of the bitters and draw the lines yourself as you inject it into the drink in the same motion as drawing the syringe out
I always wanted to make old school soda machines look like the perk cola one's. Now I know what to put in those machines.
my personal favourite gaming drinks you made were the ones from the Hades episode Nectar Ambrosia and Titans Blood they were all great
Chaos Reigns reminds me alot of the Sierra Madre's Dirty Martini with that green.
Once ordered a minesweeper with a shot of rye and a shot of absinthe and it was awesome
I watched your original video on the destiny drinks and that is my game it's all I play lol and I made and tried the queensfoil and it was really good
One drink of love to see you make is the martini that Bayonetta drinks at the beginning of the first game. I've tried a number of combinations over the years but nothing ever comes out feeling/tasting right.
hi greg, im sick and this upload is nice. very cool
Akashi plum is one of my favorite bottles to keep in the freezer for a sip on
Having used xantham gum in professional kitchens for years I have to say your methods are both insane and beautiful.
when you said you had been doing this for 7 years, I was like what!!?? Because I know I discovered you around your 4th vid.... so I have been watching you for 7 f*ckining years! are you kidding me!!! 🙃😵💫
Just made the drink from Disco Elysiaum… man it’s complex and
Fantastic.
technically "verrückt" means something like crazy but the way you said it almost made that good again.
I made the sunrise parabellum while watching this and holy shit he is spot on with all the flavours! So frickin good!!
Episode idea: Tubthumping - make a Whiskey drink, a Vodka drink, a Lager drink, and a Cider drink
Saving the best for last nice!
I work in a bar and after my shift I see your videos. I start to talking to you....its crazy!
@@HowToDrink.
How about that!
Side note: While the perk-a-colas were introduced in map pack 2 with verruckt, the zombies game mode started in the base game with nacht der untoten.
The four piece rocks glass set I got at bed bath and beyond is identical to that Afterlife rocks glass.
Does it have "Afterlife" etched into the glass? we may have fiound CDPR's supplier...
Damn Greg! I don’t know how you got your lemon to be so compact and easy to store at 2:18 but you need to share your secrets! They even turned green!
Ive never played Cyberpunk, but given that brief clip? 'A splash of love might very well be the bartender spitting in his drink
I think some melted licorice will coagulate and if you poke it with a stirrer before it fully cools it will make tendrils but, I know not many people like black licorice and it won't be part of the drink really, because it will just coagulate there on top.
But it's interesting to see if we can try being more complex about these.
I LIVE FOR the snack break with the unexpected boiled egg 🤣🤣🤣
Greg, have you thought of publishing a book of your cocktail recipes? Seems like everyone is getting books out recently.
If there's a real-world approximation of krogan ryncol, it's the chinese booze my parents brought me in '97. Tasted vile and bringing it to Finland was almost definitely illegal. The only incongruent thing was that despite drinking the whole bottle within an hour (and everything else that I drank that night), I had no hangover. Actually felt better than I had for months.
Gutted no chance of The Last Abbey beers over here in UK especially now the brewery has downsized. Any recommends for a suitable alternatives. Belgian beers good for strength but will the herbal elements interfere? There must be anothert Agave Tequila barrel aged beer out there
Would like to see you consider the estus flask again. Would interesting to see.
Can you please try to make some good cocktails with the 3 bottles that Ubisoft released for the Assassin's Creed 15th anniversary. Thank you, I love your videos.
Midori is flavoured with two different muskmelon cultivars; the Yubari canteloupe and the netted muskmelon (what North Americans would probably recognize as just plain "canteloupe", but technically, it isn't a canteloupe, let alone _the_ canteloupe. I love foods like that.)
@howtodrink Do you think you could do an episode for drinks of Lance Reddick's most iconic roles? Commander Zavala from Destiny, Sylens from the Horizon series, Charon from John Wick and others. I started following because it really intrigued me in your process to making some of these drinks. And I would love to drink something that will always remind me of our late great commander. Rest in the light Commander Reddick. We guardians will continue to fight for the Last City, your city till the last man.
This episode needed more Mass Effect drinks. 😁
For the Full Biotic Kick, maybe using "Canada Dry Bold" ginger ale (sweet, extra ginger flavor than their regular ginger ale, but not as strong as Ginger Beer - as if you mixed half the regular ginger ale with half the ginger beer) instead of the one you used might help.
I have a recipe for a game cocktail based on the game Maneater:
A Maneater's Vengeance
1 Oz lime juice
1/2 Oz Dark Cherry Rubarb syrup
1 Oz Diplimatico Aged Light Rum
1 Oz Pillar's Light Rum
1/2 Oz Plantation 3 Star
Shake over a whole and cracked cube of ice for 20-30 seconds or until the cracked ice has dissolved.
Then serve over crushed ice with an optional float of Plantation OFTD or Pillar's Dark Rum or Pillar's Limited Edition Sherry Caske finish Rum. And garnish with a lime peel twist.
Best drink for gamers: Water. However, going with the flow, please do try to make something with Club Mate.
So, this is a neat idea, and I get that re-using the same footage is a time saving thing and must be a nice break/slot filler, but it would be much cooler if you revisited aomea of these old drinks now that you've got more time behind the bar and more experience
6:20 Greg foreshadowing a second PerkaCola episode with more Perks? Who knows
Interesting fact, in destiny2 there is a drink called an ether fizz made by the fallen, no in-game visual, but this lore was added after how to drink made one, just look up destiny2 ether fizz on RUclips for some of the lines
Queensfoil sub straw loaded with Mr black for bitters releasing as you lift straw out
for the dark lines in the thicc blue drink, would it not work to use either a thin straw or a pipette to start the bitters at the bottom and dispense as you pull it up through the drink? I feel like that would give a more precise and defined tendril-y look to them, there's less agitation, and you don't get a mud puddle of bitters at the top
First off, excellent video.
Verrückt is German for "crazy" or "insane"
So it's less "asylum" and more "zombie insanity"
A lot of these are really cool, some are seem a little too difficult to replicate
ELDARVARIAN KING'S THRONE COCKTAIL
1 & 1/2 oz. of Eldarvarian whiskey ( Shackleton 1855 )
0.5 oz of Eldarvarian Honey Wine ( any honey wine will do )
1.2 oz of Elderflower Liqueur
2 oz of Eldarvarian Sugar syrup ( simple syrup )
1.2 oz of Bitters ( Angastour bitters )
1.5 oz of citric acid ( a slice of lemon or lime will also do )
Greg, since there appears to be a global shortage of chartreuse, what do you recommend as a substitute?
Is the table light broken? Use to like having the drinks illuminated from below
On Midori being Apple-ish, absolutely once you add the lemon to it. You can make a very passable college bar/night club Sour Apple Martini with just Vodka, Midori and homemade Sour mix.
Haven't tried but do you think a little bit of St-Germain would be nice in the Johnny Silverhand? TBH it's my favorite drink and I believe you nailed that recipe! Just wondered what was you thought on that?
I still hope one day you'll tackle the drinks in the Destiny cookbook, I feel like The Ace of Spades isn't complete and I'd like to see if you could improve it.
consider adding a pipette to your tools; you might be able to have more consistent results suspending ingredients mid-drink
The Cyberpunk looks is so Daddy on Greg I cant even
Really came out of the gates swinging with the fastest spoiler warning in existence. Couldn't stop the video in time. Thanks for that, I guess.
