    I've had a beer by "Creature Comforts" in Georgia that is a wheat beer with lactobacillus in it, giving it a yogurt-like tartness. And just like they said, it legitimately tastes like champagne! Not in a million years would I guess wheat beer + yogurt cultures = champagne, but it does!

    I think the M&M&P should be called a 'Malibu Parabola'. Possibly just because I like the mathematics reference for a booze-y drink, but also because it totally has that Cocktail name feel, where you say those words and someone immediately is intrigued, and knows it must be some sort of strange mixed drink.

    Greg, I just wanted to say I missed you.
    I sort of fell out of the habit of watching youtube videos last year because my mental health wasn't where I needed it to be. Things in my life just kind of compounded to where I needed a break from pretty much everything that wasn't vital to survival. I didnt have the capacity to really focus and be present.
    I've been feeling better and wanting to get back into my old life, and missing your videos especially. This one really just felt like coming home. It's hard to describe, I guess. But thank you.

    For most of my younger life I thought Malibu was white (creamy) because my mother always had it with milk (and the bottle is white).
    So, yeah, when that Malibu one was read out I was thrown that it wasn't a known combination. (also, Coconut and Milk/Cream is a common combo)

    as soon as you said peanuts and bitter i was like 'oh that needs creme de cacao' and then i started thinking of ways to improve it from there and settled on 'something fruity', and you basically made the drinkable cadbury's milk chocolate fruit & nut bar that i was imagining. kick ass.

    The Bailey’s and soda reminded me of something that Greg got close to with his attempt to “make it better”. The bartender who created it called it “Swamp Water”. It’s 50/50 Bailey’s and Kahlua finished with a splash of Diet Coke. It was sweet and curdled the fizz like a root beer float.

    About that Campari/half and half drink, in Tuscany during the winter, we have a variation of the American punch called Ponce Mandarino, and it's a 40% alcohol, bright orange/red liquor that we heat with the espresso machine's steam wand with some hot water.
    However, a few people also like to drink it with milk instead. They heat up the Ponce and add steamed milk to it. So I knew that was gonna work-ish lol.
