    The Hotel Saskatchewan is a historic hotel, one of Canada’s grand railway hotels located in downtown Regina. Queen Elizabeth stayed there several times when she visited Canada. Yes it is a bunny hug not a hoodie!

    My parents gave me that in the 50s for a cough and cold sore throat, lemon, honey and any booze given by the tablespoon, a few of those and a 6 yr old didn't care about feeding bad

      My grandma gave me the same for a sore throat. Sure it was Rye because that is what she had a bottle of for her brother who would have a shot when he visited.bbfunny, like home and lemon, but can't stand any type of whiskey.

      The only way this could be more Canadian would be to somehow involve Tim Horton's and/or poutine.

    I now need a parody of “Hotel California.” And of course:
    A seal waddles into a bar. It looks as it’s seen horrors. “Whiskey, please!” it tells the bartender.
    “Any particular type of whiskey, sir?”
    “Anything but that Canadian Club!”

    Nice. The Hotel Saskatchewan is about 8 blocks from my house. The Hotel Saskatchewan was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway and first opened in downtown Regina Saskatchewan in 1927.

    I went to a wedding in the Hotel Saskatchewan. Nice old building, pretty good eats too. Also, I maintain that CC 100% rye is a fantastic value for money. Drinks better than many that cost more, and a great choice for cocktails. Makes a killer Sazerac.

    One of your books has a similar recipe with orange juice instead of lemon. I spotted it when you showed the page in a video you did around Christmas 2 or 3 years ago. I tried it and liked it quite a bit.

    Glen, You said freshly "squeezed" instead of your alternative "squozen" to which I cringe because my mother would never approve. Although I don't drink, nor do I drink soda, I used to drink ginger ale, and my only brand was Canada Dry. Canada's winning on multiple fronts. I'm American but I tip my hat to our northern neighbor. Thanks, Glen. - Marilyn

      And don’t you regret that now?
      Think about it-which phrase is scarier:
      A) Three youths in hoodies walked through the dark towards us
      B) Three youths in bunnyhugs walked through the dark towards us
      Once you throw “bunnyhug” in there it’s tough to maintain that level of dread.

    A version of a Gold Rush (my personal favorite cocktail) which is a version of a bee’s knees and so on and so on… suffice to say what the combo of honey and lemon does with most spirits is exquisite

      Ah but - 'Liquid Honey' is also a term used by beekeepers (several in my family) to differentiate it from other types of honey that are solid at room temperature.

    Could "liquid honey" be a 1:1 honey syrup?
    I know that's commonly used when bartenders historically wanted to add honey to drinks.

    • @GlenAndFriendsCooking
      @GlenAndFriendsCooking  Год назад +6

      I looked it up based on cross checking other period cocktail recipes, and it appears to be a distinction between solid or whipped honey and the liquid that I’m using here. Honey syrup doesn’t seem to show up until much later.

  • @joshm.6235

    “Liquid Honey?” As opposed to what? Solid honey? Gaseous honey?

    • @GlenAndFriendsCooking
      @GlenAndFriendsCooking  Год назад +2

      Yes.
      'Liquid Honey' as opposed to 'Natural Honey' or 'Creamed Honey' or 'Crystalised Honey'
      I know you were trying to be facetious, but there really are different grades / styles of honey based on their consistency and wether they flow freely at room temperature.
