Drinks from the Spanish Flu | How to Drink

- Let's look at the drinks that were popular way back in 1918! This seemed relevant only last week when I shot it! Bail Fund: bit.ly/3dwyRiU NAACP LDF: bit.ly/2AAGlTs
In 1918 the Spanish Flu is ripping across the planet and folks are in fact wearing masks, practicing social distancing, having school outdoors, and being pissed about it, and also yes, having the occasional drink. This episode is all about the drinks that would have been popular while that was all going on. Is it exhaustive? Nope. In fact, the Caipirhinia should have been on this list, but my research uncovered enough that I had to spin it off into it's entire own episode, stay tuned for that one next week.
Grasshopper
This drink was most likely invented at Tujague's in New Orleans sometime in or just before 1918. Originally a simple affair of equal parts Creme de Menthe, Heavy Cream, and Creme de Cacao it has in the intervening years gone on to become a far more indulgent affair, often involving ice cream. I think I'll be covering its evolution and variations in another episode, for now, let's just look at the original.
1 oz. or 30 ml. Heavy Cream
1 oz. or 30 ml. Creme de Menthe
1 oz. or 30 ml. Creme de Cacao
Shake over ice, strain
garnish with grated nutmeg
White Lady
Next up is the White lady, but not that White Lady. The name of this drink may call to mind a Harry MacElhone cocktail involving gin and egg white. Instead this is the earlier Harry MacElhone (I know...) cocktail involving equal parts lemon, creme de menthe and curaçao
1 oz. or 30 ml. Lemon Juice
1 oz. or 30 ml. Creme De Menthe
1 oz. or 30 ml. Curaçao or Triple Sec
Shake & Strain
Negroni
The Negroni was invented in 1918 and caught on like wildfire, so it strikes me as belonging on the list. It's also a drink I've made previously, and I stand by that recipe. It is after all the standard.
1 oz. or 30 ml. Campari
1 oz. or 30 ml. Sweet Vermouth
1 oz. or 30 ml. London Dry Gin
stir over ice
garnish with orange twist
Singapore Sling
Now, Raffles claims to have invented the Singapore Sling at it's Long Bar right now this time, but according to David Wondrich, it was probably already popular for years beforehand as the "Pink Sling". Whatever the case, it was certainly popular in 1918 and is closely associated to this time period. I've made it on the show previously but I've updated my recipe since then.
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Lemon Juice
.5 oz. or 15 ml. pineapple juice
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Cherry Heering
.25 oz. or 8 ml. Benedictine
2 oz. or 60 ml. London Dry Gin
Shake it, strain it
top with club soda
Ward Eight (and a Half)
Supposedly this drink was invented at the end of the 1800's but by 1918 it would have had time to catch on. It's also not very good. I made it previously on the show and instantly had to remake it because I found it awful. My "fixed" version is presented here, it's very very close to the original, just better. I call it a Ward Eight and a Half
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Grenadine
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Lemon Juice
.25 oz. or 8 ml. Blood Orange Juice
2 oz. or 60 ml. Rye
one egg white
dry shake
shake & strain
Garnish with Bitters Dots

Your doing your best.
Thank you for using your influence to spread important information. People need to hear this coming from platforms that they frequent. Anti-racism is always important. Cheers!
they also killed a retired black police captain for stopping looting..
David Dorn should be remembered.
Just speaking for myself, but this an appreciated message. I just started watching your show less than a month ago but I could see that you have, at the very least, an awareness of the plight people of color have faced, and at best you have a well labored arc toward justice. I’ve been watching my RUclips Subscriptions to see who would join in, who would risk their platform and their privilege for the sake of this beautiful and oppressed minority that America was built on. I’m not shaming or calling out the channels that don’t take that risk but I do want to thank the ones that do.The only thing I can add to your message is that I hope myself and others are only coming to your channel for a brief respite from this outcry, they deserve to be heard.
Thank you and I appreciate the message at the top of the show as well as the links where people can donate if they can.
Aside from the obvious escapism that watching a grown man nerd out while making cocktails provides, my southern mother always said "nothing brings people together faster than a good meal and a strong drink." And I think we all need some cocktail content just as much as we need things to change at the moment.
Nicely said.
Your mother is/was a wise woman
People who share a meal and a drink are close as family. When everyone drinks from the same punch bowl, there's a measure of trust and respect that rarely comes out at other times.
I _kinda_ agree with you. We *really* need things to change at the moment. But yeah, if that change came with some people sitting down to enjoy a few drinks and work out the details of that change, then yeah, that'd be nice.
Well said
Its a needed youtube show, man. We could all use a drink. Keep it up.
Also just having something to kill time is very important
That and as someone who does not drink the distraction from how horrible the world can be after a long day of facing it is welcome.
Yup!!!!
I wish I could "retweet" that comment lol
Regardless of anything going on in the world, this show is good and useful. It is informative, instructive, and an elevation of drinking in pursuit of flavor and experience, instead of just getting drunk.
“Drink like it’s 1918” mixes methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and whiskey, “like this?”
Eh, what can go wrong?
Heroin Tablets - A respiratory stimulant, sedative, expectorant and analgesic in the treatment of coughs, bronchitic, laryngitis, pneumonia... whooping cough, asthma, hay fever, colds etc.
Stay fit and Slim - By taking Amphetamine.
Cocaine tootache drops - for children. Instantaneous cure!
Genuine ads.
You know, I bet if we still had that he wouldn't have had to put the message about the NAACP and bail funds in the opening.
Laudanum and Absinthe optional?
You forgot the good ol' opium.
"apparently, back in the day, it was nutmeg"
*Townsends intensifies*
Nutmeg was all the rage in those days. I am surprised that it didn’t show up more.
Cross-episode! With Greg wearing 18th century clothing.
@@jfbrko290 That would be sick!
Cross over using cherry bounce!
Putting nutmeg on your nutmeg
I’m known in my friend group as the cocktail guy, I have seen literally every episode you’ve made at least once and learned a ton. I’m also a black man who fortunately has no first hand experience with police brutality but many of my friends and family members have and I myself have been unfairly targeted by police in the past. Seeing support from you on this platform personally means a hell of a lot to me. I appreciate you using this platform to show support even though it may alienate those who disagree with you and cost you personally. Seriously, thanks Greg.
Well said.
I dont think many disagree and honestly I believe a pandemic was all it took to bring the horrible mess America has become over greed and hate. I support those who do good or what's right no matter the color or way they are. Hating people is a waste of time when you have a life to live because it can be gone in an instant. Black lives matter just as much as white. Black lives shouldn't be thrown away or treated as lesser.
This is it.
I hope we see change and some day. You, maybe your kids, maybe even your grandkids can live just as care free as we do. ( I don’t mean the “we do” as a term of trying to put you down. But I Cannot find a better word since I’m still a bit tired.) overall I hope some good comes out of it and whites, blacks, gays, transgenders. All at one point become less hostile to each other and come out on the other side with more tolorance
Yeah lets not look or think any further than our programming tells us.
0:20 it is absolutely the right time for this kind of thing. People are on edge and we need an escape - and a good, stiff drink.
Calls virus Spanish Flu: *crickets*
Calls pandemic Chinese virus: OMG you're waycist!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
@@elgatofelix8917 There's a difference between referring to a disease by its unfortunate historical name, and referring to a new disease in a similarly racist way. One is just history. The other is your choice.
Yep
MANDATORY POST NATAL ABORTIONS FOR ALL DEMOKKKRATS
First of all, there’s a very different history behind that label. But I’m not your mother, Look it up yourself.
MANDATORY POST NATAL ABORTIONS FOR ALL DEMOKKKRATS there’s a difference between something being mislabeled because of a misconception 100 years ago and going out of your way to try to spin information and try to manipulate the American people’s perception and deflect attention away from your own incompetence.
As a recovering alcoholic i find this show informative and entertaining. Really love the history presented. Also 6 years sober.
Whoop! Well done internet stranger! Keep it up!
Great job!!! You're doing so well and I'm so proud of you!
nice job! quick check in if you feel up to it: how you doin these days?
👍👍👍👍
Almost two years later, after all the things that have happened so far, I think you made the right decision, Greg. Your efforts to be socially just and mention problematic elements of drink culture and history have made your videos much more enjoyable and good for the Internet. Thank you for your efforts.
I got half way through your comment before I realized you weren't talking about the lack of grasshopper episode to this date.
I was coming down into the comments to say something like this, but I think you put it better than I would have.
And that bail fund that let a rapist in Minneapolis out, that was great.
Closing in on three years and this show was one of my emotional crutches through all of it.
As someone who doesn't drink, getting the history and tasting notes makes for a really informative experience I wouldn't get otherwise!
"If you want me to keep my opinion to myself, though, you can get bent."
That's one of the reasons I like you. I disagree with you on a lot of topics, but I appreciate that you use your platform and fame to do and say what you think to be right.
I can raise a glass to that brother
I was going to comment something along those lines, then realized you said it much better. 100% agreed.
Yeah, it’s not like this false virtue signal isn’t the hottest way to gain clout by agreeing with something everyone already agreed with🙄 Let the riots and looting come to HIS neighborhood and then ask him what he thinks. He’s bobbing for good boi points, nothing more
It's amazing how many people hear an opinion they dont agree with and cant just carry on with life, reminds me a lot of children on a playground. It's nice to see that most HTD fans either agree with him or they dont and just carry on
That Damned Walrus I mean most you tubers are, CaseNinestat is the worst
Me watching older HTG videos: “awesome, funny cocktail stuff”
Me watching HTG videos after this one: “what do you have for me today comrade Greg?”
I'm glad you continued to make this show, Greg. I just lost my husband to cancer on Tuesday and, somehow, HTD has kept me sane. Thank you so much, sir.
Honestly, we need the frivolous and silly the MOST during the rough times. Obviously we need to pull through, but with out an injection of levity now and again to break the tension, and raise our spirits, its all too easy to sink into despair instead of being able to bite the bullet and pull ourselves forward.
Plus, now is the time for a lot of alcoholic drinks. Lots and lots and lots of alcoholic drinks.
"If you want me to keep my opinion to myself though, you can get bent."
You're the best, Greg. Stay true to yourself, man.
It was much needed as well. I honestly for the longest time thought that he was a racist supporting police violence and their inhumane practices. Never would have guessed, i guess that shows how bad of a judge of character i am.
@@pewpin1039 there's something about a big bearded dude in flannel that gets me thinking they're a racist ass, but lately (in my personal life, at least) I've been proven wrong more often than right.
I think you need to come up with a drink called "the get bent"
Not sure if Greg would approve, it here's my recipe:
60mL overproof rum, 30mL vodka, 60mL sour mix, 20mL black sambuca, 10mL red wine.
Shaken over ice, double strained into solo cup and topped with tonic water. Served flung into the face at speed.
@@Ultimus31 It's late and I'm sleepy. At first glance I thought you'd said 10 liters of red wine.
@@1979osa1 Well, 10 liters of red wine otta' do it.
@@1979osa1 Depends on how much you dislike the person you're throwing it at
I mean... the Scofflaw...
John Townsend bolts awake from a deep sleep: “somebody say nutmeg?!”

I was gonna say the same thing! hahaha
He rises like a zombie " nuuuuutmmmmeeeeg"
"If you want me to keep my opinions to myself, you can get bent"
Fuck yeah, dude! Good content, good person, good vibes - keep it going. We all need a place to chill and recharge between going out and beating the streets. Your channel is one of my favorites
8:10
John Townsend : "I sense... nutmeg..."
You just know there is a secret tunnel between his house and Nutmeg Tavern.
I know it’s unlikely but it’d be cool if they could work together to show drinks from the 18th century
Didn’t expect that reference, but a collab would be really interesting
Greg: were going to add some nutmeg.
*John Townsend has entered the chat.*
@@fletcherbullock7291 Great idea! John Townsend made an episode on grog, I'm sure there's a path from that to more complex drinks like rum punches.
"If you want me to keep my opinions to myself you can get bent", my good sir thank you for making me laugh at your lack of caring if people don't like your opinion. This is why I love this channel
Oh man! I was drinking some super spicy soup (Carolina reapers) and almost really hurt myself 🤣😂🤣😂
@@junior2k4 do you still have an oesophagus
@@PriyaPans I sure hope so 😅
I've also made a point of not watching anything funny while consuming anything spicy 😂
@@junior2k4 while you're at it, pause what Ur watching when you take sips of anything. I've made that mistake before;
After doing a rapid-fire watch of HTD videos, I've come to the conclusion that I'd love to play a game of D&D or VTM with Greg.
The subtitles had some interesting guesses as to what you were saying for creme de menthe. My favorite was "credit meth.". Also "arms juice" for orange juice.
I prefer "Crime the Math"
"Which seemed really relevant when I shot it last week" I think this is gonna be 2020.txt
I was so proud of myself for cutting my episode lead time down to 2 weeks and like, wtf
@@howtodrink You should be proud of yourself. We are all proud of you for the continued standard of excellency, the ability to speak to us clearly and frankly as friends and equals, and the commitment to keep providing entertaining and informative content regardless of what the world throws at us. A fun video and a good cocktail are very valuable things right now.
@@howtodrink What Tom said. You're providing a service. You've helped keep my spirits afloat. You've also helped me spend some money I might have saved, but I'm not worrying about that right now. Thank you, man.
In times like this I follow my grandmother's advice, get drunk, tell jokes, and have a good time.
Great advice.
Lj O'Rourke wheres the part about destroying POC owned businesses?
@@jb76489 It's in the 'When dealing with a douchebag' section.
Life changing advice.

8:08 "And for a garnish, I know that the current trend is to use a little shaved chocolate but apparently, way back in the day, from what I've read, it's nutmeg."
*Jas. Townsend intensifies.*
"Who's you?" "I'm me." I love this show.
we're in the twenties now.
I don't even DRINK and you're still one of my faves my dude. Keep it up and thanks for the support ✊🏾
Same here, but the idea of cocktails is such an intriguing concept.
my little brother is straight edge and he watches every episode.
Your comment proves that it's the company, not the booze that makes a party! Cheeky question though, does that make you the designated Pitmaster? Or is that the home owner's thing?
Pick up a couple bottles of Seedlip and you can make some awesome non-alcoholic cocktails! Cocktails rule, and there’s no reason non-drinkers should have to suffer a cocktail-less life.
In answer to your thought about whether this show is necessary in times like this, the answer is YES. There is so much bad going on right now. We need all the happy we can get. Your show makes people happy. It educates, it inspires, it brings smiles and laughs.
Please don't stop making vids.
Come for the drinks, stay for the awesome host/mixologist/nerd in front of the camera. Thanks for continuing to be such a good guy - keep killing it with the content. AND YES! A grasshopper episode would be dope!
I honestly think your show is EXTREMELY important right now. Times are hard, yeah, but if all entertainers stop entertaining, then everyone will burn out.
Your show is fun, it's informative, and it's like a sparkle in dark times.
except when he props up terrorists burning down cities and ignoring the injustice done to the likes of poc like David Dorn.
´´dark times´´ with with emphasis on ´´dark´´
Using dark creme de cacao and no food coloring is something we called a "Locust" at the goth nightclub I worked security for ... far too long.
My condolences sir, your sacrifice will not go unknown.
“If you want me to keep my opinions to myself you can get bent”
Incredible
"which seemed really relevant... When I shot it last week"
That's 2020 for ya
No sir, I must inform you that this show is very much indeed needed.....No, a vital escape from all this crazy shit going on out there. And yes, I will be making some of these drinks.
I think it's ok to keep releasing episodes, I'm sure a lot of us fans appreciate having some escapism during this time.
Thanks for sending me down the The Detectorists rabbit hole in one of your previous videos. I've watched all of it, and badly wanted more. Then I found This Country which has a similar feel. Now I'm watching Lodge 49.
If you're a fan of relaxing, warm fuzzy shows, I highly recommend all 3.
Checking into This Country and Lodge 49
Looking back on this video, I'm glad that you kept making videos through the hell that was 2020 and 2021. They helped me make it through one of the most difficult points of my life.
Joel McCrea's character in "Sullivan's Travels" had the same dilemma about entertaining people in a time of trouble.
Actually Greg, I binge watched this channel on Sunday when things got to be too much. Thank you for your sensitivity.
Without channels like this we wouldn't have anything to do during quarantine keep going
I know it's kinda late and thank God you are still doing the show, but, I just want you to know, that it is essential in times like these. I am not much of a drinker but I enjoy every episode as an artistic endeavor. With all the grim news every day you, sir, are a savior who makes my evenings a little brighter.
Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong
Yes you see my fat/lens joke thank you.
“Hey I wanna go to this place in New Orlean’s”
“Oh, what’s it called?”
“Two Jocks”
Please don't stop doing what you do! Your show bought me through a few rough days and not because I drunk a cocktail but because I love the fun and lightness and entertainment of the show! :D and the music ;)
You've made me smile and laugh and see things from different perspectives, before I even poured the drink. Please keep doing that?
keep it coming .. we need it more than ever... thanks
This episode has more teasers for future videos than a Marvel post-credits scene
Sir, I appreciate what you do! My brother and I watch this show and have recreated many of your cocktails. I love pretty much every gin drink I have ever made using your recipes. Please continue using your creativity and provided something light hearted because we need it now more than ever. Of course should you decide to end the series I respect your decision, continue to do what you love!
You’re the one that got me into making my own drinks, so please don’t stop the show
As a person of POC I do appreciate your historical videos through the drinks you make and ofc with everything going on I would rather just see you being you enjoying the drinks being made. Thank you for acknowledging the difficulties for some. Keep up the good work!
Best line of how to drink ever “if you want me to keep my opinion to myself though, you can get B E N T”
I was like yoooooo totally excellent
Patches 1942 I laughed out loud and hit rewind to watch it again.
Greg, you have made me realize exactly how much I need your show in my life. I would be lost without your fun, informative show and take on drinks. For good or bad, you have actually made me want to make more creative drinks. My friends appreciate it, and I always make sure to give you credit. Please keep "doing you", and keep entertaining the masses.
Please do not stop making your show am stuck in a 24\7 care facility re learning how to walk again after a stroke in August 2019. This show is one of the shows I watch regularly to keep me sane
And just when I thought I couldn't like this show more. All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing. Don't think for a minute that your frivilous show isn't important- its frivolity is precisely what makes it SO important. Thank you.
"If you want me to keep my opinions to myself you can get bent" Salute Brother. Tell it like you see it. Churchill A nasty piece of work? Yup. As black as he's painted? Meh...there's a lot attributed to him that isn't true (Ordering the Army to fire upon striking miners? Didn't happen, he actually advised against deploying troops but local Government called them in anyway) I'd like to see the provenance for all the quotes in that article plus there was strategic thinking involved in the grain shipments to Europe (It wasn't a nice decision to have to make, either way bad things were likely to happen) His attitude towards India and Ghandi in particular was pretty bad but, sadly, of his time. Where people get the idea we British think he was a paragon of democracy however eludes me. He was the right man for the job during the War, the other times he was PM, yeah, he was an unpleasant, self promoting, fickle, uncaring, clinically depressed alcoholic.
What does PM mean?
@@morromenos1016 Prime Minister
The United Kingdom might be one of the older European democracies but even in its name it cannot be said to be a true democracy. Not when there is a system that has unelected officials (peers) that have the potential to amend legislation to their own unaccountable ends, and certainly not when it is one of the few developed countries that did not enact land ownership reform. Any other leader other than Churchill would have been appropriate during the second world war - all that was needed was someone who would no longer stomach appeasement. His attempts at shaping the post war order set in motion events that have landed us in today's situations.
From the meddling in the Middle East to the devastation of sub-Saharan Africa to his posturing in the Cold War that would have the world perched on the precipice of nuclear annihilation, we are, all of us, weighed down by the shadows of history. Handing over the remnants of the British Empire over to the Americans has hardly proved his hunch that the Yanks would be good global stewards either.
But perhaps his vice is one of the ways someone can come to terms with the world as it is today. It is as Lenin said: "There are decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen." The post war liberal order is unravelling before our eyes. What comes after is in our hands. Maybe the only way to deal with this acceleration, is to slow it down through the lens of a bottle of spirits. Clarification from stupefaction.
He was the right man at the exact right time.
well put. t'old churchill was a great wartime leader... but a p**s poor peace time one
During the pandemic i've been able to catch up on H2D episodes and watching you do drinks makes my day a bit better and helps me try new drinks. I've been holding up on mixology for a long time and it's great to continue watching the show so yeah, love you and keep doing great episodes!
In times like this it is important for us to celebrate the things we value in society as much as it is to protest against the flaws we want to rid ourselves of. And some things being celebrated today are small businesses and humor to help get us through these hard times. You embody these ideals and we appreciate you for it, please don’t stop making videos any time soon.
Honestly, keep making the vids. They’re a good way to keep our minds off the current events while also raising awareness of what’s going on.
Get bent is one of my favorite phrases! No cussing but man it’s strong
Tied with ”up yours”, IMO.
Love historical drinks (and food). Wonder about you going back into the 1700's to see what they drank (mostly ale)
Greg, these shows are exactly what we need. Keep them up and thank you for bringing us information in an entertaining way in these rough times!
Thank you for supporting the movement. Thank you for saying something.
Thank you for making donations.
And thank you for putting these episodes out so that we can have a moment to breathe before diving back in.
“If you think I should keep my opinions to myself, you can get bent.” I literally blew you a kiss of love when you said that. You’re an influencer, keep on influencing, darlin’!
*Chef's kiss* utter perfection
I was already a subscriber, but at that moment, I solidified my commitment to remain one for as long as he has this channel.
Your channel got me into making cocktails and as an unintended consequence I’ve become an avid cook. I love that you made a vocal stance on the side of human equality. Respect to you and your team
I sort of feel like your show is perfect for the world right now. You say you where fighting with the idea it wasn't right to make these shows but I'm so glad you have.
I fight with anxiety, with depression, and with both the pandemic and the protests not to mention the surgery I went through recently, my body has been on constant alert. I found you while looking for something to watch after the surgery and am binge watching them because they have helped so much. We need shows like you especially when stuff like this is going on to be able to get away from the pain, especially for mental stability. I want to thank you for it.
We love your videos.
Lots of inspiration for us.
Keep it up from Scotland.
I’m a police officer who loves your show and respects your right to express your opinions... just make sure to keep the videos coming!
Not only is this show entertaining, it is also informative and inspiring! It has inspired me to do my own research on cocktails, yes! But also on history and science ! So please continue! If it’s doing me a whole lot of good, I’m sure I’m not the only one benefiting from your content! So please continue!
this show is still getting me through 2022, i'm glad it's still there, thanks for everything greg
I love Churchill! He rescued England in her greatest time of need.
Dawn Michelle he also should be criticised for the genocides he ordered . He didn’t rescue us it was the brave souls who fought in the war personally
and now I'm a patron --- loved this show for awhile as a history nerd, film nerd, DnD nerd --- and newly ex-Mormon learning how to drink --- thanks for taking a stand I'm working on being better too!
You bring joy in a really dark time man, it's something we need to stay sane. Keep doing the good work.
Honestly man it's good that you do this show, you keep people entertained and I myself feel a small amount of joy watching your show whether or not its fleeting. It is a break from everything and helps me and I'm sure others feel much better
I bloody love this channel, and I bloody love your stuff, boss. It’s an education. I’m not even a big drinker, but I have bought a few bits and pieces and I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun making a mess of it all.
This is a new comment on an old video, but yeah. Keep going, my dude.
Change never comes easy, and I feel like as a whole those of us who believe in equality and true freedom have been taking a beating for the last few years. Shows like yours, that are fun and frivolous, offer a little bit of escapism.
Also I think you're a very intelligent individual who doesn't take shit and is not afraid to say something.
Keep them coming, Greg.
You're a BIG inspiration to me! One of the Channel that maked me start on Bartending! (not on a professional level) good fun and entertaining vídeos are needed just as much as all the sirius ones to let us relax and enjoy our time and escape from all the madnes that is going on! Keep on going please! Love the show! Much love from Portugal!!! 🇵🇹
This is over a year old, but shows like this one have made Quarantine so much more bearable. I'm someone who is immunocompromised, so I've not really been able to do anything out in the world, but being able to stay home and learn how to mix good drinks because of this channel has been worth to much to me. You're doing amazing work, and I love your content so much.
Obligatory plug of my own TTRPG related content or something idk
You did well man, you addressed the situation but at the end of the day this is a fun channel that we all come to for your expertise and entertaining style. You rock and thanks for the great content.
Love this ep and can't wait to see the Grasshopper episode. After hearing your tasting notes on the White Lady though I looked up other recipes of it from 1919 and stumbled upon an article by Esquire which mention Harry MacElhone blending it as "cointreau (2/3), crème de menthe (1/6), and lemon juice (1/6)" - so I tried that hoping it would be less lemony. I didn't have cointreau but I subbed the sweeter triple sec. It's quite sweet and very delicious actually. The sharp cooling odor of the mint is there and it's neither overly mint or orange. Very smooth.
I would love to watch a whole episode omg Grasshoppers!
Definitely a needed show! Love watching you, especially when you do game related drinks!
I've recently found and started to binge watch HTD videos in whatever order the ~algorithm~ recommends them.
And I have to say, even though it's 10 months after the video was posted, you're a good egg Greg! Love your stuff!
I think you got this just right, sir. Thank you.
Greg, right now one of the things we need the most right now are frivolous fun things like your show. We need some light fun to break up all the terrible things happening, an escape even for a little bit. Please keep making your show and I certainly appreciate your candor.
Please keep making the show if you can! This truly is absolutely a wonderful respite from all the craziness in the world right now. The show makes me very happy and I really need that right now.
You should definitely continue making episodes ! It's lovely content especially for somebody like me who is getting treated for cancer and can't drink.The way you describe cocktails always makes me envision the taste so clearly.It's also a lot of fun so would love to see more ! All the best to ya in these hard times
How ya doing now?
After that intro, I'm left a bit speechless. I can tell that came from the heart, and yes, please keep doing this show. You, your show, and your opinion are all far beyond valid, and this is something I look forward to watching, even when the world isn't uh... The way it is right now.
He only made himself vulnerable to cancelation by letting the progs know they have power over him.
man i love this show its one of the things that make me feel so happy when i see it
We need these videos thank you for all that u do
It's always the right time for a good drink! And sometimes it needs a good drink to survive the time we live in... Cheers from Germany!
"You can get bent." That made me smile until a tear came to my eye! You're doing a good job man!
You're not hurting anyone or anything by creating this show in fact you giving people an outlet to forget about it for a little while.
Please never doubt that your presence on RUclips is loved and welcome. Thank you for sharing your passion. This reflects on all of humanity with positivity and beauty.
Finally, *finally* a youtuber who acknowledges what's going on. Thank you for using your platform to spread awareness.
I have hardly been able to find a youtuber who hasn't, which tells me I am subscribed to the right people.
Quintinohthree if they were the right people, they would’ve been talking about it long ago. What you’re seeing know is pathetic virtue signaling
@@jb76489 And indeed, many of my subscriptions have said it for years. Now get your own pathetic virtue signalling out of here, you hypocrite.
@@Quintinohthree Lol, what a complicated way to say "No u."
In New Orleans we pronounce it just like "two jacks." I'm sure that's not the correct French pronunciation but we've anglacized many pronunciations here. But, you're close enough. They make a great aviator coctail there too.
that would be pretty much the same in continental french, except lose the 'd' sound at the beginning of 'Jack'
I think the problem for those not french (I did hesitate ....Americans, English speakers, white people *facepalm*) is the G in the sign would normally be a C, and you'd more be able to see that it's two Jacues .. two Jacks .. I was just thinking it was started by two men; french and either they were named Jacques, or it's the irony of Frenchies being known as 'Jacques' to racists. oop, I mean other language speakers
@@ValeriePallaoro It's "Tujague" , a family name from the Béarn, in the Southwest of France. "Jague" it's pronounce like in "Jaguar"
Valerie Pallaoro aren't French people white, too? Being French is not a race, is it?
I am 30 sec into the video... I paused it there. I wanted to write this for everyone at How To Drink: We want you to keep making the videos. With all that is going on in the world and our country, we NEED that time that you give us as entertainment and knowledge. We need ways to "escape" from normal life, even if just for a few minutes. We enjoy the videos and please keep making them. For those that pray, please do so for our world and country. Those that do not pray, please just keep a positive thought in mind about our world and country. Thank you Greg and rest of How To Drink team.
Long time viewer, love this channel, super happy you continued making episodes. One of few things helping people stay sane.
What’s funny is that I can’t drink, I have a weird alcohol intolerance so alcohol burns my skin, no joke. Vodka, beer, wine, hand sanitizer, even the tiny amounts of alcohol in soy sauce have given me chemical burns. I have to check literally everything for alcohol. But this is still my favorite channel ever, absolutely love it thanks so much.
The delivery on that "you can get bent" was amazing!
Oh the look on his face when he brings up the Ward 8.
The Ward 8 episode is his best episode.
Keep the episodes coming man! love the content and love the education.
