- I tweeted "MALORT NOG" and now I must make it. Today on HTD we attempt to make this devil nog and a few other variations on the classic Egg Nog.
My friends at Curiada recently listed some new rums like Coconut Cartel’s Añejo Rum, we used their coconut rum in this episode and it is GOOOOOOOOOD. Also if you are looking for one more last minute gift for the holidays Curiada now has Gift Cards! - bit.ly/gregnogbottles

I will say this, this is indeed a powerful weapon in the war on Christmas.
Every year, whenever I say "Happy Holidays", I follow it up with, "Boom! Another casualty in the War on Christmas. MUAHAHAHAHA!"
If you mix up the letters in "Malort Nog", you can spell:
"Mr Loot Nag"
"Glamor Ton"
"TRM Lagoon"
All of which are clever names you can use to smuggle this Yuletime weapon into Christmas gatherings.
Then some kid will look in a mirror and be like, "Nilbog is Goblin, and TRM Lagoon is just MALORT NOG!"
Besk is not on Curiada I need a bottle of that in my life!! No Joke make this Christmas Mirical happen!!! Will pay for it!
No. And I will not.
yEP CHICAGOS Finest liqure set out to dope a poor raw egg.. with the ucky parts of the wormwood plant
Malort Nog sounds like a demonic beast from a Tolkien novel
I'm stealing this for my holiday DnD one-shot.
A boss from dark souls or elder ring
I'm pretty sure Malort Nog is a Star Trek character
It's definitely evil
Malört Nog (also spelled Mal ort nhÓige) is one of the names of Celtic Hell and the home of the Unseelie
Malort isn't a good kind of bitter. It's not a prickly friend who's sweet when you get to know them, it's just hostile.
I'd recommend the Bäska Droppar - in Sweden we don't drink "Malort" but rather Bäska droppar which is a spirit with malört but certainly has complexity and character, which apparently, "Malort" doesn't have.
I can't stress the flavor being like chewing tree roots fresh from the ground with dirt still on it.
Malort is how you tell someone that you aren't friends
@@annoyanceking well, I mean that might have been better, honestly. I took it as my first of the night and couldn't get the taste out until 5 drinks 😂
Malort is basically just Chicago then
"will it nog" is a great holiday version of "will it old fashioned"
Malibu pineapple nog...
Champagnog. Nog with a splash of champagne. It's legit great.
For when spending the holidays with your family just isn't painful enough.
Am I the only one who enjoys seeing my family around the holidays? Is it because I only really see my nuclear family? Am I the weirdo?
@@colinz226 Yes. You are the weirdo. I moved from Boston to Seattle and say half-jokingly around this time of year that "I moved out here to put my family at a safe distance."
@@colinz226 you’re not a weirdo, you are just lucky, many people don’t really like their family because of various reason luckily you seem to have a nice family
@@colinz226 I signed up to work nightshift over Christmas, aka no weekend at all, so I'd have an excuse not to visit my relatives
@@colinz226 I also enjoy seeing my nuclear family, but I know I'd feel differently if we had to include aunts and uncles and such whom I don't really get along with.
Malört is the pain we feel for living in Illinois
The reason they made assault a no cash bail offense after January is because they can now serve more Malort.
... Are you sure the Malort is strong enough then? Do they make it in 151?
I mean, I live in England and even I feel bad for you.
@@chetmanley1885 ouch, that was just mean. ...true, but mean...
I mean, it's pretty tame for a bäsk. Hits the sweet spot for pyttipanna, but a bit too mild for smoked eel.
Oh I see. Elon didn't ruin twitter. Greg did with that tweet. I see.
🤯
the catalist
Fair enforcement of the rules ruined twitter.
Greg managed to drop a bottle of Curacao on his bar, moved his Mezcal Nog and somehow didn't spill it all. That is godlike talent.
Malört is the Swedish word for wormwood, and is traditionally used in sweden to spice moon shine or vodka ^_^
I'm from the region where Chartreuse is produced, and one of the popular cocktails served in ski stations around there is something called Hot Green: hot chocolate with a shot of Chartreuse in it. And after a long day in the snow, it is the best thing EVER! So, going in with cocolate like you did was a good call I think, it sounds delicious
I’ll definitely support that, Verte Chaud is delicious. We have them with Christmas breakfast in my family. For my fellow Americans, key is to make a proper hot chocolate, not some powdered nonsense and water. Definitely try it.
Being that you're from the area, you might have a better idea. Chartreuse has pretty much disappeared from the US, wondering if it'll make it back to shelves anytime soon. Have you heard any whispers about production being up and running yet?
@@douglasboylan3477 It's here in NJ! Yellow and green.
@@baloneyandfunk5234 dang, it's entirely disappeared from TN
Really want to see more of these workshop episodes. Watching you make drinks on the fly is extremely interesting and gives you time to talk about whatever
As someone who's allergic to both eggs and milk, I look upon this video with fascination and longing
Me: Expecting four wretched, toe-curling nogs
Episode: All are suspiciously delicious
I feel... cheated?
One of my partner’s favorite drinks is Malört, and I love eggnog a lot. I’m gonna make this for us so we can suffer together.
Hell yeah, bring on the Malög. I've been making the Greg Nog all season, time to switch it up.
I have finished my glass of Malög... I think that's enough for this year.
we need more workshop episodes, just you workshopping drinks beforehand and struggling/enduring horridness
This is the kind of content that made me fall in love with this channel. I know you haven't done a lot of 'workshop' episodes (love it, want to see more of them btw), but this is close to the old formula-Greg shows us how to make a drink, shows his funny and genuine personality, gets a little drunk, and is very fun. Adding the experimental/workshop element is kicking it up a notch. In fact, I feel like there was a desire for these types of episodes back in the 'golden era' about a year ago before the 'Greg endures pain' era. Glad to see that finally becoming a thing.
Edit: Greg, buddy, I want you to take care of yourself. I know you can't be drunk all the time. But when you drink, it's just magic on camera. I honestly think it's because your happy and excited side comes out, which also makes you more positive. Sober Greg is great, but he's also very logical and kind of pessimistic. Buzzed/drunk Greg full of energy and chaos and a flair for the dramatic.
Again, take care. Thanks for the great content, and merry Christmas.
I for one like sloppy Greg.
In Sweden it is called malört because it protects against mal (moths). ört means herb, apparently back in the day they put it on their wool clothes.
swede here! it's important to note that 'malört' is the swedish word for wormwood, so it's specifically the herb itself that we used to ward off moths, not the liqueur, although it makes for a funny visual
I'm sure it would drive away most other living creatures too
@@lw3764 @L W You'd be surprised. The drink is associated with Österlen, famous for being impossibly full of tourists in the summer.
"I swear to you, I'm not really a vampire." That's something a vampire would say, isn't it?
As someone who adores gin and wintery cocktails, and also celebrates yule, I'm gonna have to make the green man nog now.
If you haven't yet, do it. It's amazing!
@@carleysutton7345 I don't have fernet branca, i was thinking subbing with dry vermouth and tonic syrup?
"Ho ho ho, making Christmas bad" had me cryinggg
Greg going from “calling on the spirits” in the Green Man’s Nog to asking how we like his throat singing? The timing! Golden!
I think itd be great to see a compilation episode where you make all the drinks from the year that you called "amazing" or the "best youve ever made" and see if its still as good
Malort, eh? I tried eggnog about thirty different ways last year, didn't have that one in the rotation. Would highly recommend an eggnog old fashioned, and even the pickle vodka eggnog had it's place. Whatever you do, avoid white wine with eggnog.
What are the specs for an eggnog old fashioned?
And what are the specs for pickle vodka nog...asking for reasons
Not surprised this works actually. If you've ever cooked liver, usually you soak it in milk to absorb the bitterness. Probably a similar thing going on here.
HTD Drinking Game: make your favorite batch of eggnog and take a sip every time Greg says the words "nog" or "eggnog"
Whole batch made each time. One sip taken each time. Rest of each batch gets handed out to neighbors.
Fill the town with nog.
the real HTD drinking game is drink everytime Greg says 'funk' in reference to rum.
Tom & Jerry is one of my favorite holiday drinks, would love to see you do an episode on it.
Anders Erickson did that one last week! It looks interesting
Here is my T&J recipe. A couple of dollops of the batter, a healthy shot of Greg’s butter washed rum and some hot water all mixed together has become my holiday must have.
1 dozen eggs, separated
2 lbs powdered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon nutmegs
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add the softened butter and egg yolks and whip until it is fully incorporated and a liquid.
Sift and fold in 1 lb of powdered sugar into egg yolk and butter mixture.
Sift and fold in remaining powdered sugar.
Stir in the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, and allspice.
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in a mixer until you have a meringue-like texture with stiff peaks.
Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
In Germany, they have a warm egg liquor drink called a "Heisse Oma" or a "Hot Grandma".
On the green man nog, I bet if you used a pinecone syrup instead of simple it would be awesome. Just add green pinecone to a jar and cover and pack with sugar. Let sit in the fridge burping occasionally. Strain when the liquid is a nice amber color.
I've had spruce beer (think like ginger or birch beer, except tasted the way pine sol smells), would a pinecone lend a similar piney vibe or is it different?
While every other creator takes the last few weeks off, you’ve been releasing more than ever and I appreciate it immensely. Thank you, happy holidays
to be fair, holidays are drinking season
I think maybe subbing coconut milk for the heavy cream in the tiki not would have been interesting
The chartreuse nog makes me think about green chaud (hot chocolate spiced with chartreuse, very popular winter drink where I live)
14:35
Greg in his "Things you need for an at home bar" toted HARD for the heavy base shakers, and said that these shakers he has are a little overkill...well that moment RIGHT there proves they are worth their weight in gold.
There's a great cocktail bar near me that makes a gin and olive oil nog and it is delicious! It's a very bright, lemony, almost refreshing egg nog. I haven't attempted to recreate it yet but I plan to!
What kind of spec do you think that is? It sounds fascinating
Why olive oil...?
@@grilledleeks6514 no idea why they thought of it, but it really does bring it together. I assume it's high quality stuff and not just generic store brand
@@The_Jovian I just tried it with 1.5oz gin, .5 oz olive oil, and 0.75 oz cognac. It didn't quite hit the same notes but it was fairly close
I just made a Mezcal-nog the other day. Super fun. Excited to see the HTD take.
My spec.
2 ounces mezcal
1 ounce simple
.5 creme de cacao
.5 luxardo maraschino
1 egg
Dry shake
Add ice and shake again
Strain into glass
Add 2-3 ounces of half-n-half
Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on top.
Whoever writes the tasting note comments on screen has me dying😂
I had Malort for the first time the other day, and I was shocked to find that I actually liked it quite a bit. Not that I'd seek it out and drink it often, but enough to where I'd be plenty happy to have some every now and then. Like you said, it was just really bitter with not much else to it. No flinchingly terrible, gasoline-esque flavors at all. Now I really REALLY wanna try that Malort nog.
As a Swede, I find it very facinating that you guys have a licour called: Malört. which is a Swedish word actually, meaning Wormwood. Very popular herb to put flavor in hard spirits, especially around Christmas and Midsummer :)
Yeah, that's why it's named that! Swedish Immigrants to the Chicago area wanted to recreate the bäsks/besks from home, and this was what they could make with the resources in the US. And since we don't have the same tradition of bitter drinks with fatty foods, it didn't really catch on outside of that community, though it's now becoming more nationally known as a regional curiosity/signifier of the breadth of one's drinking experience.
I feel like now that Greg is kind of used to Malort, the next thing he could try to make drinkable would be a... Four Loko, perhaps??
"Malort nog" is definitely some obscure star wars character who looks vaguely like a blob fish and runs a cantina in a dessert oasis.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Would really love to see a malort mixology crossover between How To Drink and Unemployed Wine Guy
Every. Single. Time. You tip something over, my heart dropped. 😅 This is a very stressful episode!
Tbh this is probably the ultimate "Greg gets drunker as the episode progresses" video
As someone who regularly knocks things over, and who broke a wineglass at a resteraunt on Saturday, that we mean you no harm. We don't know how we keep knocking shit over and we don't know how to stop! Very sorry!
Nah, that was the manhattan incident
Malort Nog reminds me of when I tried liquorice ice cream.
Most people would probably go "oh god, please no", but it actually comes out great.
I'm genuinely interested in trying that
@@mitchellclendening7682 the most comonly found variant is lliquorice and orange, sometimes called cat's eye, like the stone.
You are one of the most uniquely creative persons out there.
This nog episodes drink may easily showcase in some fantasy / mythological novel based show.
For the past few Christmas seasons I've been making Cocktail Chemistry's Eggnog recipe. It uses Tequila and Sherry and it's amazing. Everyone is always shocked when I tell them it has Tequila in it.
What a fun and festive episode. I'm glad all of the drinks turned out well. I love the disaster recipe episodes, but it's nice to have pleasant surprises like this happen, too. Well done, Greg.
Haven't seen Greg spill too much in recent episodes.
Definitely made up for that in this episode!!
Spilled enough to get me a good buzz going!!
Going to be trying the green man nog fer sure!
I tried Malort for the first time last summer and…liked it? I’ve always really liked bitter flavors (grapefruit, coffee, beer, dark chocolate, brassica veggies) so I think I’m probably just weird

No no, it's great.
Waterloo Antique Gin. I would LOVE to hear your opinion of it, but more relevantly I think it has a very "eggnoggy" smell to it already, and I like to describe it as "tasting like Christmas". I've mixed some in store bought eggnog and it's been VERY good.
I had devilish thoughts of serving my family Cement Nog. Like a Cement Mixer, just eggnog instead, lol. Should be fun.
I love this episode! These drinks are so fun. It was quite the experience watching you experiment.
You know what they say: Six cups of eggnog is all you'll ever need. Raise your glass if you're half-smashed.
"I really don't know where this is going" leads to some of my favourites from you, Greg. Keep up the good work!
green man nog is pretty amazing, it fits me well as someone who loves adding a little bit of fernet whenever i can
the egg is missing in the written recipe in the description, btw
The real secret winner alcohol + eggnog combo is champagnog. I kid you not - the bubbles in the champagne lighten the nog and make for an exceptionally pleasant drinking experience. As a fellow nog-lover, I encourage you to give it a try.
Also, surprisingly good throat singing, Greg. Bravo.
So, this episode was basically a light from the heavens for my eggnog-loving fiance. The idea that he could just...make eggnog in single-serving portions, using his bar shaker, had never occurred to either of us, since we were used to seeing the recipes for big batches of aged eggnog made from carefully whipped egg whites and meticulously frothed yolks with sugar, and all that business. It also produced something that I enjoyed quite a bit, and as someone who's definitely not much of an eggnog fan, that was a surprise. It made for a much lighter, silkier drink than the things I'm used to (as in, the abomination in a carton), and is now yet another in the long list of creamy, sweet drinks I enjoy. Our first experiment was essentially an old fashioned-nog, since we have rye and angostura in abundance, and it was delightful.
Malört is the swedish word for Wyrmwood, if that helps! While the Drink was first made in Chicago, it was made by a Swedish Immigrant ^_^ Hence the name, there's so many interesting drinks from the US, that have that really neat, Immigrant history to it, where they tried to make something from home, and then it was changed over time or just with what they had available to fit more in with the customers in the US. ^_^
My love of Opeth and Abba outweighs my hatred of Malort.
The swedes are on thin ice though.
and from what i know, wyrmwood in ruski is Chernobyl
so it checks out
Made a green man nog tonight, fantastic twist and well balanced, could taste the individual notes and probably my go-to holiday drink for gin drinkers going forward. Thanks!
i always look forward to the grenogtivities. happy holidays!!
Now THIS is the kind of content I return to this channel for time and time again! I am in my home town for xmas right now, but I cannot wait to get home and explore some of these alcohols.
I feel like Green Man's Nog is asking me to try it with akvavit instead of gin.
Chicago representation in droves.
I feel like for new years you should do a "year in review" kind of thing where you go over your favorite cocktail creations from this year (or something like that). Obviously I'm just one person but I know I'd enjoy it!
Love the aged eggnog callout; I’ve made Alton Brown’s aged eggnog for the past two years out of curiosity. It’s been overall pretty awesome! I made videos to document the process (and so I could remember what I did the last time, tbh)
Adam Ragusea recently did a video on the science of aged nog. It’s really interesting if you haven’t seen it.
I'd love to see an episode talking about some of the more fantastical drinks from Dwarf Fortress to celebrate the steam release, specifically dwarven wine/ale/beer/rum made from the various deepsoil fungi the stumpy little alchies cultivate.
Really great episode! Super cool ideas to play with.
Whenever Greg talks about his past it's always shocking in a new way. From having one half of his family be burlesque performers, being a repo man, and now ROTC? Wild
1/4 of my family. My grandmother did burlesque, but my grandfather worked in the intelligence community. She used to tell people “my Joey works for NASA!”
“No I don’t.”
“Yes you do! nsa!”
@@howtodrink That's amazing, and yet another insane part of your background
So what im learning from this is that eggnog goes with literally everything with the tiniest amount of effort
Malort "tastes like getting picked on in the 3rd grade"
Malort is what licking the bottom of one of the older CTA train seats is like.
At 3am
1:47 "Sorry folks, Park's closed. The moose out front should have told you."
This was great. Love these kinds of videos.
Ooh. I have a Google drive full of Malört cocktails, and I’ll need to make sure to add this to that.
I love malort and always keep a bottle. Going to have to try this nog
Been watching for a while now and I think you've outdone yourself Greg. Your Boston nogg was a house staple but the chartreuse nogg is simply class. The fernet is next!
Lmao mer-nog. Meredith is the best thing next to greg about HTD, how you two bounce off each other is a joyous experience happy holidays to ya both!
I did a nog judging a couple weeks ago and someone did a mezcal nog that was really pretty gross. Very smoke forward almost tasted like the dairy turned. I’ll have to try this one!
Greg this video is inspirational to go out and experiment with what a nog can be.
Best name I've heard for Malort is "Northern Discomfort."
I love you Greg! I’m glad the show has gained such success and you so clearly deserve it. I’m a huge podcast listener and am super excited for the HTD Podcast (I’m not super obsessed with cocktails but any content you make I’m a big fan of). Keep moving and shaking, fuck all the Twitter trolls. Happy Holidays man, thank you so much for all the fantastic videos
Much as the 'blegh' reactions can be humorous, I much prefer the 'wow, this is actually really good!' reactions, because they're just so interesting and result in amazing new stuff!

I agree, I like these kinds of episodes where he genuinely tries to make a good drink. I feel like it's a nice middle ground between pleasing the algorithm and him actually enjoying himself.
drunk greg drunkinly making nog, the sacrifices he makes for his audience. to greg and meredith: relax and enjoy the holidays
I have to add, the quality of the high aesthetics of the poetry and verse you pulled in some of your narrative with the Green Man Nog / Gin Nog was not lost on some of us. ;)
I’ve got some eggs and heavy cream that expire tomorrow and todays my last day of work before holiday break, incredible timing with this episode Greg
Talking about the Angostura in the Chartreuse Nog, makes me think about what a "Trinidad Nog" might be like. It's baking spicy already, could be great

Would love to see you make this Greg.
This is the most entertaining show on RUclips!!!
I will add in in the like malort camp. I like the bitterness and it tastes like grapefruit to me. I love me some grapefruit, but can no longer eat due to medications.
Well that's why I hate it, I hate grapefruit.
Also, adhd meds?
Because that's why I need to wait an hour if I have a hankering for orange juice.
@@kevinwillems8720 no heart meds. The grapefruit has something in it specifically that can cause meds to not get absorbed and just stick in my system until it releases all at once and cause too much in my system at once. Other citrus fruits are just dandy.
@@xredgambit ahh.
After this nog-speriment I would like to see Greg work his way through some Moose Milk recipes
Malört is absolutely fantastic! It’s like a sweeter, smoother version of some of the bäsks one can find here in Sweden. I was lucky enough to come across a bottle of Malört once but that one is of course empty since quite a while.
I always enjoy when you make drinks on the fly.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I would love more Meridith. I love the interaction between the two of you. I want more of the your taste profile's as well as her reactions. I absolutely LOVE eggnog myself. But not particularly sweet or thick. I just love a good simple nog. It's my favorite holiday season beverage 🤤
I’d love less
How many times does it take to grate Nutmeg to summon Townsends? And how have you not done a video with him yet? Lol
Greg my baby is in the NICU, and I've been watching your videos for a few days to help pass these trying times and enjoy some fun, while I sense my opportunity to purchase and enjoy good spirits is going to become less common, I'm enjoying watching you enjoy (and suffer) Thanks from Texas and Merry Christmas from a long time fan
Oh god XD you have unto yourself brought suffering. Also, throat singing on point. We need more.
I can't imagine you don't already know, but eggnog with your brown butter fatwashed rum is absolutely incredible. I use the single serve eggnog recipe you do with just the rum (no cognac or maraschino), it's my go to during the holidays.
I had Malort for the first time back in October and really liked it. Nog sounds good.
I always love your technique, man
The Mezcal Egg Nog is so good I just made it again tonight!
Great work Greg!
