Just putting this out there, as much as I love this channel and everything you do, I miss the episodes where you create a good drink out of good ingredients. I learned so much from those episodes. I do enjoy an episode here and there where you suffer through something bad, but not all the time, The channel really shines when you create an amazing drink by simply picking a subject matter and going with it.
I loved how the Granny's was such a shockingly pleasant surprise, totally a winner out of nowhere, and then immediately you got hit in the face with the Cow Wreck
When I was a kid, my father and his buddies would be in charge of making THE EGG NOG. They would mix all the non alcohol stuff in a big tupperware pitcher, then take out two cups and put it aside. Then they would put in the booze a little at a time. They then would have me and another kid take small tastes until we could taste the booze. When we could taste the booze they stopped adding alcohol and then poured the two cups of un adulterated nog back in. THAT was the secret to holiday cheer. YOU.ARE.WELCOME.
Buzzballz has two product lines: the "Chillers" that are made with other-than-standard orange wine (so they can be sold at stores that can sell beer and wine, but not distilled spirits), and the normal Buzzballz that are made with actual liquor. Other-than-standard orange wine is a mostly neutral tasting fermented product produced around 20-24% ABV made from oranges and sold primarily for blending and mixing in RTD cocktails.
Wait, "orange wine" is made from oranges? I always thought it just had something to do with color. I'm kind of intrigued. Are there any bottled to be drunk orange wines fairly readily available?
@@scaper8 There is "orange wine" that is basically made from white wine grapes using red wine technique and is commonly associated with the nation of Georgia. There is also "orange wine" that is made from oranges. Other-than-standard orange wine is a common way to get rid of surplus oranges that can't be sold for eating or for juice production. "Standard" orange wine would be wine made from fermented oranges, produced at "normal" alcohol levels, and generally retaining the character of the oranges used to make it. You can occasionally find it made by local wineries that also make berry wines.
Both of my kids are very allergic to eggs, so I (with no Puerto Rican heritage at all) have been making coquito every Christmas for the last 18 years. Honestly, I prefer it. Start steeping whole spices in the coconut, evaporated, and condensed milk blend a week ahead. It’s wonderful, rich, and tastes precisely of Christmas.
So many episodes of this show remind me of the psych study in which a third of participants chose to give themselves an electric shock rather than sit in silence for 15 minutes
If you drink anything from those Buzzballs cans you already know you're drinking the latest developments in chemistry and food additives. Cheers to Clark Griswold!
Around here, it or Evan Williams is probably what you'll end up with. Both solid, thoroughly inoffensive choices, though I find that EW has a slightly more booze-forward flavor, if you're into that. 😊
As someone trapped in the Southern Hemisphere (where it's mid-summer) and specifically South Africa, I might explore how to make a "lite-nog" (i.e. something not overbearingly thick and creamy) featuring Amarula. In case you've never encountered it, Amarula is basically Bailey's with a little (and I mean, just the slightest) bit of a fruity edge. It's a cream liqueur made from fermented marula fruit, a native tree that famously "masts" (i.e. seasonally produces fruit in massive quantities) and animals supposedly eat the over-ripe fruit and get drunk off the fermentation. The Saffers go on about it like it's God's milk itself; personally I think it's okay. Well worth a try if you've never but not a go-to. If Greg or anyone can come up with an idea that incorporates it, I'm all ears.
Be wary of any product on the shelf that they know is typically only going to be a one-time purchase. They have no incentive to make sure it's a quality experience if the results are a one-time purchase regardless. I'm convinced that if I buy a holiday novelty drink or snack, and its actually good, that its merely a coincidence. I've had too many nutmeg bombs claiming to be pumpkin spice to even bother with that stuff anymore.
0.o Okay I'm definitely going to have to go find some Granny's gingerbread cream now. Because a gingerbread version of tiramisu sounds freaking amazing 😍
i love watching the mobile preview of the video with no audio. something about seeing greg shout and wave his fist in frustration, all in silence, yet says what it needs to say. poetic.
15:40 I am genuinely so fascinated that out of all the nogs to be "watery" it would be the peanut butter one. If anything I'd have expected that bottle to contain food grade cement.
21:00 that has got to be the most Visceral, Physical reaction i ever seen from greg with a bad drink. like he did a typical man's MALORT reaction to drinking that.
Have you ever done a punch bowl at the end of episodes like this where you take what is left in all of the glasses mix them together and see what kind of monster is born.
You can shake up a small batch anytime you want. 1 egg per person. Separate. Dry shake the whites. Add the yolks, simple syrup, equal parts half and half and booze, a little nutmeg and a little ice. Shake it up.
Without saying where I suspect you bought these, I will say that I work for the same chain and Largo Bay is always a great value. Hidden gem. Don't know who exactly makes the stuff but it's solid rum.
There is a local distillery near me, Twin Valley Distillery, they make an egg nog that is excellent. Got a bottle last year and drank it with friends and picked up a bottle this year and look forward to drinking it with friends over Christmas.
@@brianhussey5050he’s actually admitted in comments that it’s because the gross-out videos are the ones that get the big views. He likes the informative videos but they’ve become a treat at this point because other drink channels do informative stuff
If you love eggnog it’s worth the effort of making it yourself. If you have the fridge space (and will power) making it around Halloween and letting it age for two months yields amazing results. I love the alton brown recipe, and it’s really only 15 minutes worth of time to make.
@@AnimusVoxPopuli, oh 100%! I make three gallons of Alton Brown's aged eggnog each year in October, then give it to family and friends as gifts (and drink some myself, of course). It's never a bad idea to have a not-terrible store-bought option available if you ever need to pick something up on short notice, though. 😊
Homemade, traditional eggnog is shockingly delicious I still like the pasteurized storebought stuff, too - but they are so different in final result that they are basically two different drinks. +
Largo Bay is my go to brand for a super cheap handle of spiced rum. It ain't fancy but if you're making punch and/or pitchers for a crowd it won't break the bank.
I've been making eggnog for a few years now and this year I picked up putting maple syrup in for the sweet. It's been quite nice and I do recommend people give it a try if they are a fan of maple.
I picked up a bottle of Winterhaven Farms the other day, since I turned 21 this year I thought I’d celebrate. I’m glad to see it got a good review, hopefully I can come around to enjoying alcohol as much as you seem to because yeesh.
Peanut Butter Egg Nog: At least we found a new worst alcohol episode contender :) Good luck making anything drinkable out of it. Yes, we are avoiding the poison later on.. there is a point where things aren't fixable no matter how hard you try.
Can confirm that both Southern Comfort and Fireball have their own nog mixers and both are still in stores My best guess is that maybe they thought a pre-mixed version would be more convenient?
As a kid my parents always had Holly Nog and I wanted it so bad, and now as an adult they don't sell it anywhere anymore! We used to always pick it up at world market
I assume that at this point the liquor store(s) Greg frequents stock stuff just be they know he might buy it for an episode with little expectation to sell it to others. lol
Since I took advice from this channel and started making my own, I haven’t been able to enjoy the supermarket stuff, but haven’t actually tried any of the liquor store stuff.
Thanks for this! I work in an ABC store and haven’t tried a lot of these, thanks for saving me the hangover lol 🎉also omg haven’t seen the buzzball nog, yikes 😂
All I could find at the store yesterday was Southern Comfort brand egg nog (non alcoholic). Guess I won't be getting a clue from Greg as to whether I'm in for a bad time or not, fingers crossed!
RE: BuzzBallz Tree. You CAN hang them on a tree! Just don't tear the tab off! We have a tradition of decorating a small tree with them while watching movies around Christmas.
Chef’Store (a restaurant supply store open to the public) carries pasteurized cage-free egg yolks in quart cartons, perfect for eggnog. They are meant for restaurants making custards, pastry creams, mayonnaise from scratch, hollandaise, etc. Pasteurized at low temperature so you don’t have to worry about the minimal risk of food-borne illness with raw eggs, and I can’t tell the difference between these yolks and those from unpasteurized shell eggs. You can pasteurize them yourself with a sous vide setup, but it is a PIA, and these are only $6.99 a quart, which which would cost $32-$64 in regular shell eggs near me. And I’d end up throwing out the whites, so this is lest wasteful. There’s just no way I’d make that many sours, and I’m not really into them this time of year. They do have pasteurized whole eggs for $5.19/qt, but I don’t think egg whites bring anything to the table in eggnog. I use Alton Brown’s recipe currently, which calls for yolks only. I make custard and stick-blender mayo with any leftover yolks.
I am laying on the sofa suffering from the worst flu I've had for years, and your first impressions of Cow Wreck almost killed me. Your court summons is in the post. Congratulations! 😂
Though I mostly go for Pennsylvania Dutch, I am actually drinking a bottle of Evan Williams right now. And I am pleasantly surprised. I used to drink Evan Williams bourbon as a kid... Err.. Young adult... Because it was cheap and easy to get a hold of. Over the years I have grown an affinity for it. Yeah they are "bottom shelf" mostly, but I regularly drink the Single Barrel and always have a Red on hand and they are very good. When I saw the nog and noticed it was on sale I grabbed one and was not disappointed. Yes it's 15% but the bourbon really stands out. For about $10 a bottle you can't go wrong.
I've tried a couple o f pre-made eggnogs, over the years. From my own country, and ones abroad, and I've yet to find one that I can recommend. I can understand why so many folks say that they do not like eggnog, because it's very likely, they've never had proper nog.
You should make Alton Brown's aged egg nog! It's amazing. Needs to be aged for about 3 months ideally. More aging doesn't seem to significantly improve flavor but 3 months does.

Yeah they are "bottom shelf" mostly, but I regularly drink the Single Barrel and always have a Red on hand and they are very good.
When I saw the nog and noticed it was on sale I grabbed one and was not disappointed. Yes it's 15% but the bourbon really stands out.
For about $10 a bottle you can't go wrong.
I've tried a couple o f pre-made eggnogs, over the years. From my own country, and ones abroad, and I've yet to find one that I can recommend. I can understand why so many folks say that they do not like eggnog, because it's very likely, they've never had proper nog.
Yes!!! More of one of my favorite kinds of episode!!! Wooo!!!!
Alright i am looking right now because my local store now has Mr. Black. But mr black eggnog. Seen only 2 recipes. But know you can do it.
You should make Alton Brown's aged egg nog! It's amazing. Needs to be aged for about 3 months ideally. More aging doesn't seem to significantly improve flavor but 3 months does.
Ahh, the perfect Christmas drink for when I want to crap myself. 😂
I'm lactose intolerant. Lol.
idk if you've ever tried Clugg, the Scandinavian alcoholic egg nog, but you should. It's very popular.
I had a catering client ask for one of the event’s custom cocktails to be “malort nog”.
Dew it
The first Southern Comfort product that Greg was actually okay with. Wonders never cease.

Evan Williams is also my favorite, but i add more freshly grated nutmeg.
