You should do a follow up on your Skyrim and Destiny Videos by making the official cocktails from the game’s actual cookbooks. And you should try playing Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater on Twitch and then do the cocktails mentioned in the game.
K gotta say these parties were vastly understocked.
@@kylen9954 seemed pretty accurate, though
Yes! Do parties! 🎉🥃🍸🍹
I would love to see you bring on a guest (maybe someone from the gaming community whos big on RUclips or whoever else) and you could both make their favorite drink. They do it their way, you do it yours and see which is best.
“You know people think we’re married?”
“Nope, I’m gay”
Thank you so much for blessing us with that line.
"You know people think we're married"
"No I'm gay. And also married" fucking iconic.
I loved that exchange so much
Legendary exchange
well both are married so it checks out I guess
The delivery was absolutely world class lol
They do have good chemistry though. Like, good friends chemistry, which is usually close enough to the (not recently) married couple chemistry that it can be confused with it.
While this was not an Archer-themed episode, these all really seem to fit the Archer cocktail spirit; drinks for the snobby high-functioning alcoholic forced to make do in unfamiliar and austere environments.
Launa launa lllauna lllllllaunnnnaaaaaa !!!
The "Black Mexican" and "Horatio Cornblower" spring to mind especially... oh and that WD-40 drink he makes in season 6 haha
Those kinds of drinks are also the most interesting once to watch be made, in my opinion.
Also reminds me of how the flaming Moe was invented in Simpsons.
There is some of his spirit here, but I feel like if the pickings got this slim, hed just drink straight spirits
Like the time they're in space and mix Tang and isopropyl alcohol?
I love the visual of party #3. All the new moms getting slices of quiche and showing off baby pictures while Greg hides in the background rummaging through cupboards and mixing a cocktail.
This is me when my roommate has all her witchy friends come over and I'm making mixed drinks for them.
Doesn't this end with the Flaming Homer?
And the husbands of the Yoga Moms are in the other room watching football or something
@@noodlekeeper5150 sounds fun.
I'm picturing him with a few unnoticed pieces of baby-themed confetti in his hair.
meredith flatly going "nope. i'm gay." was SO good lmao
It really was
Very strong energy.
Gay energy
Yeah that made me laugh out loud and I couldn’t really figure out why 😂
Best reveal of the channel series!
"im at a frat party!".."can i leave?!" im dying LOL
Greg's inability to operate a box wine tells me that he has made good financial decisions throughout his life
Pffffffffft.
We need to have Meredith mic'd up more often. She's hilarious
I think think their back-and-forth snarking was great.
Greg: *[In disbelief]* "You want me to mix instant coffee with the Franzia?"
Meredith: "Yeah."
Greg: *[Like a defeated teenager]* "Fuck you."
Why do I get the feeling Greg gets a little jealous that people want to hear more of Meredith…😂
Meredith's party planning side hustle just took a huge hit.
Agreed, the yoga moms would’ve stopped at the wine.
Well, I don't think Natural Ice is something Frats in Arizona drink. Back when I was in college, people would drink a lot of Corona "because we're close to Mexico"... (Yeah, what do you expect out of a social frat.) Tequila was another staple. Early 90's, so you're looking at a lot of soft alcoholic drinks like wine coolers and Zima. But mostly beer here was either Corona, with the fallback of Bud and Coors. I don't think ASU's frats have evolved much in 30 years. (The Fraternity I was a part of was a service organization, so we didn't so any of the Animal House style parties.)
@@jackielinde7568 🌞 😈
Meredith having a mic added 20-35% of entertainment. Keep it!
what does ur pfp say
It's funny how Greg just decided he had to use every ingredient and then immediately tried to figure out how to get around the requirement with minimal compliance.
So what I learned from this is if Greg finds himself at any party he will
A) Try to leave
failing that
B) Do his best to ensure he doesn't remember being there no matter what culinary crimes must be committed along the way.
On a more serious note, I think it would have been better if you didn't need to use everything but this was definitely entertaining.
I love how he decided he had to use all the ingredients at the frat party and then when Meredith said he should do the same with the next party he was all 😮🤬😟☠️
"We've made gin!" is the purest joy after those other 2 parties
"Haaa, we've made gin!" *
That one absolutely killed me, brilliant delivery
"and all the frat dudes are laughing about me rimming anything". Too damn funny
And I feel like most people missed it. 😆
Actually missed that line first time through, heard it now lol
I was so confused by the second set of ingredients, then I heard, “New Years Eve at the retirement home.”
Also, “I managed to pull the cigar smoke into the drink.” That’s realistic. When you’re around enough old guys smoking cheap cigars, the smell gets pulled into everything. Everything.
_EVERYTHING._
EVERYTHING!
You stole a cigar and held it an inch above the alcohol for several minutes.
"Are there lemons at this party?"
Nothing beats a lemon party.
Interesting variation on the format could be, call up 3 friends, ask each what alcohol they have on-hand in their home, and pull from that to create a cocktail for each. Adds in a more real "what a person has on hand," element
I really hope no one calls me for that sort of thing. I'll be counting up bottles for ages.
@@thomasfrederiksendk Yeah, i started with a 12 bottle bar, and went from there... now i have an entire console table covered in liquor... oops? i guess?
Call three normal friends, not anyone who watches this channel
I love this idea. I have a couple of bottles of Angry Orchard cider, a bottle of cream sherry, a bottle of Talisker, and a bottle of Tenth District absinthe. For mixers I have Canada Dry extra spicy ginger ale, chocolate milk, and V-8.
Greg?
@@DianaBell_MG I don't have any friends that qualify as normal when it comes to bottle count.
I'm kinda upset you just came up with this idea and I already want like 10 episodes of this. Great work! Super creative! Can't wait for more!
yesss please do more of these
Definitely like this idea
I agree
Do it drunk
Omgggg "New years at the retirement home" had my dyinggg! I work in an assisted living community, and the moment I saw the Franzia and Ensure, I knew EXACTLY what setting it was!!! You wouldn't believe the number of residents who smuggle their own alcohol in even if they have doctor's orders against drinking. Also, we use a lot of O'Douls and FRE brand non alcoholic/alcohol reduced beer and wine, respectively.
Oh and for new years we just mixed wine and "wine" with orange juice lol
The honey thing is because it can contain bacterial spores which aren’t dangerous to humans with fully developed micro fauna but extremely dangerous to a newborn.
I always thought it was because of the fact they could be allergic to honey cause of bees
yep. botulism. if you give your baby botulism, you're gonna have a bad time...
Yeah can contain Clostridium botulinum which an infants immune system can’t cope with, so best to wait until they’re at least one and better able to fight off any traces that may be in the honey.
Paralyzing your baby is bad form, yeah.
"Ah, we've made Gin!"
the delivery and expression of that line has fucking killed me.
I love how, obviously, ramen is at the party....BUT WHY is it at the drink counter 🤣🤣🤣
because the "drink counter" is actually just "Josh's desk."
The drink counter is the kitchen counter doing double duty!
There is only the one counter.
Also you haven't lived until you have had beef ramen made using only Jim Beam white label every night for the week.
Beacuse who doesn't want ramen when theyare drunk as hell
I mean I assume the scenario is you ask a drunk and possibly stoned frat bro if there is anything besides beer and they just start grabbing whatever is in their pantry.
I feel like the rule about using all the ingredients is unnecessary: the persons trying to make a cocktail at these parties wouldn’t use everything, but would cherry pick what works for their needs.
But this was a fun episode
The frat one would probably try to use everything, but he's missing the slightly out of date milk and nyquil bc they're trying to make their friend tap out
When I was in college, I wanted a peanut butter jelly sandwich, but I didn't feel like going to the store just for bread. I cracked a ramen block in half long ways and used ramen instead of bread. All my friends thought it was super weird. Thank you for backing me up, Greg 😂
This is almost like a HTD version of chopped. Which seems like a good idea.
My friends and I have been doing this kind of thing for years. We call it "86'd" and it's a ton of fun. Highly recommend!
They did a version of this at a convention I used to attend. They called it "Iron Alcoholic" (after Iron Chef).
I was just talking to someone the other day about how weird it is that there isn't really a cocktail based TV competition? They have baking, cooking, tattooing, interior decorating, fashion designing, but no mixology!
@@champo976 there is actually a bar one i once saw on a plane ride!
I think the format is awesome and shouldn't require use of everything. The point is to be creative and shouldn't be forced.
This
Yep Meredith asking him to use everything was annoying, I was genuinely hoping for creative ideas.
Or how about he has to use each ingredient, but he gets 3 drinks to do it or something. Just to keep it a little bit challenging :-)
absolutely agree
@@mmmhorsesteaks i would rly like it if he maybe made like, 2 different drinks with each ingredient set (without using them all). this is a great idea!
Love your reaction to the Franzia!
I'm a chemist and I found out that they use that crap to make lab alcohol. Some company just buys it by the tanker truck and distills all the water out. It's cheaper than fermenting their own product.
Wow...
I can't say I'm surprised. It is very cheap.
Some of the varieties are... well, I won't say "great" but certainly good enough. Drinkable. Their rosé is pretty decent (I can't remember exactly what it's called but it's something like Sunset Blush iirc)
The Sauvignon Blanc is exactly as horrifying as his response suggests, though.
If you want to taste depression in a glass, make a franzia highball with tepid diet Sprite.
@@diehounderdoggenalt No thanks, I actually wanna be here. In other news, are you okay-
Awesome episode. One “party” that came to mind is stuck at the in laws who only have a bunch of old bottles from the 80s
I love Meredith having a mic :^)))
Not gonna lie, "Corpse Piss" is a solid band name.
That was my nickname in high school
Now it just needs a logo that looks like a thorn bush and is nearly impossible to read.
Missed opportunity for the people over at Liquid Death
Sounds like an especially dank IPA
metal af
I've never whispered, "Oh no," to myself as emphatically as I've done for this video. The first drink is a cursed beverage if ever I did see one.
And then you went to the next party 🥺.
Fun concept! Would also love to see the best 3+ ingredient cocktail you can make with the given supplies.
The yoga moms apparently have good taste.
Next up is the camping trip with S'mores, West Coast IPA, Whiskey, Baked Beans, and various sundry items.
Trail mix and dried fruits.
Love this premise! I just don't like the "need to use everything" bit, that's not so good. Would much rather see you make the best drink you can from the ingredients (maybe minimum 3 ingredients used or something).
Agreed. Maybe use every ingredient but can make 2 or three different drinks. The frat party could be a shot and a shandy separate.
Also agreed, I would have liked to see one of each from each party. One that uses everything, and one that is just the best he could do with what's available
OR! similar to what you say, but Greg has the ability to substitute ONE ingredient for the entire episode for something he thinks will work
@@lpsftw8572 yes! he gets to fill a flask with something and he gets that across every scenario but if he uses it up it's gone. would be a great addition to the format
Totally agree.
I think it's fair that Greg can ignore 1 ingredient at the party
1-2 ingredients yeah, i mean who in their right mind would use an ingredient they know is not going to work??
@@justarandomguy3969 Greg
@@jacobfarley2332 Who in their _right_ mind?
The ramen seasoning rim and "Ah we've made gin!" killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Also I feel like the yoga moms would almost certainly have a juicer
Good Golly! the "nectar of the bees" monologue had me rolling on the floor. Also, it makes me crack up when everyone thinks Drambuie is strictly for old people and I (at 29 years of age) absolutely love rusty nails.
I love the back and forth between Greg and Meredith. Up to this point she's just been (mostly) some nebulous figure on the other side of the camera. Really glad you gave her a mic and can't wait for more flavor/color commentary on future episodes.
I like that Greg warns people to be careful with the "cocoon coffee cooler" making you go to the bathroom... as if anyone is going to decide to make these let alone make multiple of them.
Greg, There are "Things" in honey that infant immune systems cannot handle. (Mostly things like Botulism bacterium.) Most humans have immune systems strong enough to handle it, but not those under a year of age. HOWEVER, if you cook the honey (usually in something else) so the stuff in it gets too hot to live, then you can feed it to babies.
Curious what you'd do at a party hosted by someone like me who has a decent assortment of hard liquor and liqueurs, but can never manage to remember to keep mixers on hand.
In real life? I’m probably gonna mix an old fashioned. Or more realistically be designated driver.
Short island iced tea. (cuz long drinks are ones topped up with soda iirc? So if you take out the soda from a long Island then it's a short drink?)
The one thing missing from the retirement home party is a bottle of cheap whisky that costs under $10
Hip flask of r and r
You should have used one of those little cups they give out medicine in for the measure at the second party 😂
Or the solo cup itself, each of the lines is a measurement
@@tmathis9882 That would’ve been perfect for the frat party! What do you think would’ve been good for the yoga moms’ party? Maybe a baby’s sippy cup?
@@JMaxwellE just use their water bottles with the numbers on the side. Yes it may mean you're getting 8 oz of liquor but what yoga mom doesn't need that after a long day with the kids 😅
Many years ago in my early twenties we were looking in my pantry for ingredients to make drinks. All we found was Blue curaçao, peppermint schnapps, and everclear.
Mixed them together to create “The Listerine”. To date the worst thing I’ve ever drank.
Oh that sounds awful hahaha
Having been in a Fraternity and been to many a party, your selection of frat ingredients was generous. We had Natty Light, Skol, and Bacardi.
The whole beer and bread thing is pretty accurate - in Denmark it evolved into a dish in and of itself.
Øllebrød - which translates to beer bread, it's basically old, dry rye bread that is soaked in malt beer and then cooked.
Commonly topped with cream, whipped cream, eggnog or sweetened whipped egg whites.
Very tasty and deceptively filling. You eat one dish full, go back for seconds and then half way through you start to feel like you ate an entire loaf of rye bread.
I'll try to remember this as I hope to do my master thesis in Denmark
Also, isn't that also where Welsh Rarebit comes from? A sauce made of cheese, ale, and mustard on toasted bread?
Here in America we have a version of beer bread as well. I'm not exactly sure how it's made, but I think my mum would put a can of beer directly into the dough/batter then bake it. I could eat that stuff all day.
That's basically beer soup and was one of the most popular dishes in medieval Europe until it fell out of favour. So cool to see that there are still places that have kept this old dish.
i usually use very dark bread, you always see very light bread being used but it has no flavour! the dark colour is all malt, delicious delicious caramel type sweet malt.
i think they only use light bread so it doesn't look like a cow paddy. 😅
As an introvert, these drinks/ingredient perfectly match how I experience parties
"In the Midwest I think they do" 🤣🤣 Meridith is hilarious I'm glad you gave her a mic 🤣
"The Client is Wrong" episode was a fun 'drink roulette', but this "Zero Expectations Party Drinks" was a true testament to the depth people often sink when they are truly desperate for a drink... or bored out of their skulls.
Kuddos to you, Greg, for making stuff that is actually drinkable and maybe even enjoyable after enough alcohol has been ingested.
The frat party drink really killed me... like many frat parties in my vaguely-remembered "bad ol' days".
my friends and i made a game like this. we set up a wheel with ingredients from the liquor cabinet and spin it 3 times. from there i make them a tasty drink that has all 3 ingredients. sometimes you get lucky and make a classic cocktail, other times you have to combine bourbon with blue curacao and lime juice. we call it the Drink Randomizer
That's a brilliant idea. I've got to try that once hanging out with friends is an option again.
One could call it a Drink of Destiny. As it reminds me of Cult Moo doing more or less this except with 1 booze, 1 filler, and one garnish/ flair
My friends got me a set of dice that have different ingredients on them, one with spirits, one with mixers, etc. To do something similar. Roll up a Drink. I play D&D and make drinks so it was the perfect gift. One winner was Bourbon, cocoa bitters, maple syrup, and ginger.
I feel like you could go further and add different randomizers. One to determine the base spirit(s), mixer(s), bitters, etc.
My ex brother in law used to do the 6-4-9 shot for a bar bet. At the bar pick a bottle at random. Count 6 bottles, then 4, and 9 (going to the next row as necessary) and that is your shot. The 649 comes from a lottery where we live, Lotto 649.
Meredith is right, most dangerous time to drive in Chicago is around 2pm after the mom leave their friend’s houses to pick up the kids from school!!!
This went from a cool exercise in improvisation to "how can I make the least cursed cocktail if I have to use everything?" 10/10 will watch Greg struggle again.
Having to use every ingredient kinda ruined the episode IMO. It went from "come up with a good drink with what's available" to just "mix everything and see how it tastes."
Yeah but he did stuff like drop the franzia and use some as garnish. He didnt just throw everything mindlessly into a glass.
5:23 "im GAYYY" i love it, and i also thought you two were married so its even funnier
Considering the ramen, maybe you could try some foreign drinks? I would love a video on Soju cocktails!
Would love to see him make a conjinganmek! Using peach soju for it is so fucking good!
Excellent format. I need more of this since I end up having to do this myself all the time. It gets fun. Also fun is when party guests start asking for weird or different things because... well... you've been making them cocktails...
Last party I was at a guest asked me for an AMF, but didn't like how negative the Adios part of the name was. They instead wanted it doctored into an "Hola MF" so I swapped the blue curacao with triple sec, swapped in some Monster Ultra Fiesta Mango instead of sprite, and spooned grenadine down the side to settle at the bottom of the hurricane glass they wanted it in. It looked like a sunrise.
Yep, gonna need more episodes of this, this was awesome
So you know: While people have started calling the tool used to measure pours a jigger. While that is the current meaning of the word its origins are as a specific measurement. A jigger is 1.5 fluid ounces. It was named jigger after the smallest mast on old sailing boats, the jiggermast. 1.5 fluid ounces was the standard size of the vessel used to serve the sailors their daily rum ration.
Thank you Walter Cronkite. ⭐
Did you know that did you know did did you know that a jiffy did you know that a jif did you know did you know that a jiffy is an actual did you did you know that a jiffy is an actual measurement of time?
Do you really have to use the hard R? ;)
"Is that a sandwich Josh?"
Is that a reference to everyone's favourite Mythical Chef I spy there?
Love the premise of this episode! Merideth challenges are great! Making do with limited ingredients is really fun to watch!
love the idea of random bar drinks! keep up the great work man, love the direction of the show!
This was fun. Please do more of this. I like watching you improvise.
Also any chance for anther customer is always wrong video? It is one of my favorites.
Customer's always wrong is basically "cursed cocktail" but actually fun and entertaining, loved them!
Also yeah, pushing Greg's creativity to its most twisted limit is fun, this format rocks
This reminds me of a pirate themed party I was at last year. Everyone brought rum except for a bottle of coke, so lemons with no juicer, some whiskey, and I wisely brought a pomegranate liqueur (like an actual one with , not just syrup). In fact there was also no Ice and water so after a corner store run a I did lemon juice and the pomegranate with a few of the spied rums, mainly the kraken. It actually turned out to be an instant hit.
This was such a fun idea! Definitely want to see more of them. This is what I often do when entertaining - just pick a central bottle and work around it with a few things. It's fun.
One of my favorite videos from HTD!
This is a cool concept. I would love this as a series. What to do with random stuff at a party. Maybe without the requirement of having to use every ingredient. Could assume that you are bringing at least one ingredient.
Bring 1 thing to the first party and then to each following party, something stolen from the previous 😅
"Party at the retirement home" reminded me that my grandma used to drink scotch and water at the nursing home to help with her dementia.
Because she could only eat the food they made and the medicine they provided she had a prescription from her doctor for "1.5 oz of Jameson mixed with water and ice, as needed." Had most of a bottle left when she passed so we all did a shot in her honor.
Damn that's sad. So like if your family brought her a box of chocolates she couldn't have it?
This is fun to watch! Please make this a series.
I loved the little "hello" from Meredith's wife. 10/10 very cute.
Love the dynamic that the microphone brings to the table. Great video as always.
I would like more parties this was a very fun episode. You should do "Thanksgiving at your aunt's" party.
I would like to add "at the cookout" party :) could be fun
Now not only are they magical hands but a magical voice now as well. Love it.
Fun episode idea! I like this thing where we see you experiment and improvise drinks.
The frat drink might actually happen next time I see those illusive guest entities. They often field all of that and would appreciate the hidden proof and ramen/dew theming.
Pleeeease keep Meredith mic'd up! I loved it. Maybe she could spray you with water every time you're self-deprecating/mean to yourself (multiple times every episode)
Excellent tasting notes as always. "Runs silent, runs deep" is the highlight for me.
I INSTANTANEOUSLY LOVE the addition of a mic for Mer. This show rules!!!
See this is why I mounted a whiteboard over my home bar. I keep a seasonally-rotating bar menu of about 10 ish drinks, with a side menu for shots. Makes it infinitely easier to make sure everybody can get something they'll like without having to play guessing games!
Just had a party last Saturday to show off my new bar and everything I learned watching your show. I made Mai Tais painkillers and mojitos. Everyone was impressed
"I have been granted lemons" never seen somebody so glad to have life give them lemons
Meredith absolutely killed it with the selections, great video!
Once again here with a recommendation for Bar Eastern’s Touhou-themed cocktails! Amazing video, as always!
Oh yea I remembered those, those looked so good but never actually was able to make them
@@DavidTokugi44 They’re SOOOO pretty, though I hope I can track down translations for the recipes that are only on NND.
@@LotusHearted I remember seeing a translated version of them on imgur but that was a long time ago
@@DavidTokugi44 The imgur ones are the already translated ones, there’s a bunch more on NND that haven’t been translated.
A cultured profile pic if I've ever seen one
that intro had ramen, mountain dew, and a random opaque foamy liquid...this is gunna be a interesting episode
Love the idea for this episode, like "Chopped" for cocktails. Will definitely welcome more of this.
cheers mate, big fan here. I really think that there are two great tests for a bartender: making good drinks with subpar ingredients, so that you know the reason its good is NOT the quality of the ingredients, and making a creative mocktail. That is, in particular when you are out, you can immediately tell the quality of the bartender and of the establishment by the presence and quality of mocktails, because that demonstrates that the establishment is not targeting people who just want to get drunk.
This seems like a fun way to practice improv mixology, I'll probably end up doing this myself (but without the use everything rule)
Very fun concept for a video! Watched the stream! I feel like another fun video idea would be Cocktail Madlibs where people fill out certain aspects of a cocktail and you have to make Mezcal, yuzu and grenadine or whatever the hell people choose work somehow
16:40 is the best thing I've heard all year. Thank you.
I don’t know if I’ve seen Greg laugh like this it was like a freaking experience. Another amazing video to drink along with well done sir.
Loved this episode! As someone who doesn't drink beer much at all, "seeing what i can mix up" has always been a game of mine, though usually i stick to get basic liquor+mixer combos!
Also, hello mystery editor! I thought it was always editor greg sassing himself but there is a second? Fun!
i like Meredith being part of the show!
Loving Meredith! That's a keeper!
This is hands down your best episode yet
Yay Meredith on Mic. I’d honestLu watch a full series of these, maybe one “party” per episode, iterating to find the best drink possible
Hey, something that'd definitely be at my party: Amaretto! And I'd be interested to hear more about amaretto since you haven't ever really talked about it outside of your older amaretto sour video!
You know how people put liqueurs in coffee? Amaretto is excellent in tea. Black tea with milk and sugar.
Also amaretto and coke is perfect
Absolutely love these challenges
Well done! I really enjoyed this. I think you found a good "once and a while" format for the show.
I would really appreciate a play list of your lighter format episodes, Im a huge fan of the looser format ideas, bad cocktails etc, and less hardcore drink mixing. As someone recently to the channel I dont know what Ive missed!
Meredith carries the entire show. We stan
Love the concept! Kudos for maintaining the show fresh
