Sometimes we'll do a compilation list, sometimes it'll be an all new episode, sometimes it'll be sort of an add-on to the Tuesday episode (think we'll call those "After Parties", maybe it'll be a Livestream.

Pineapple flavour is infamous among chemists to break down really unpleasantly and I think it might help the drink, if you just left out the bitters and maybe used orange juice instead of orange zest

      If I was a bartender I would interpret an order of Midori margarita to replace all of the tequila with Midori. I don't get why Greg used tequila in that drink at all. Just like if someone orders a vodka tonic you don't make a gin & tonic and add vodka, you replace the gin with vodka, just like you would replace the tequila with Midori. I am not saying that would make for a better drink though, but I honestly think I would rather drink Midori+Cointreau+lime than whatever Greg made.

Also the canned cocktails and canned margaritas episodes I find myself going back to. Probably because it incorporates a product review with the suffering, so it didn't feel like suffering for the sake of it. Also, we got to see smashed Greg in the canned margs episode.

They call it Mississippi Piss, and I've tried one. It is unique among flavors.

    The Healthy Coke recipe is interesting, because as you also mention, it is almost posca, which might be the first soda-like drink invented and consumed. It is true that that tastes of balsamic vinegar, but made with a good quality vinegar and honey, it can be very refreshing on a hot summer day. Basically, it's lemonade before lemonade itself was able to have been invented (due to necessity of lemons).

    The thing about the healthy coke idea..... I know that I've seen a few more fruity vinegars, especially here in Korea, like a plum vinegar, that you can mix up with seltzer or carbonated water or even just regular flat water, and just drink if you want a sweet tooth. So there is some truth to using vinegar like that, but if you're going to use balsamic vinegar, you really need to use the Good Stuff, because the cheap market balsamic is all tart and no sweetness to me.

    While there is no possible way to save the current Eldermancy, ever thought about making your own interpretation of it? I mean, Sam is no bartender by trade and was certainly doing that ungodly monstrosity as a bit, but there's nothing stopping you from making what an Eldermancy (to a trained eye) could be. For me, since I usually associate "mancy" with Necromancy, I was thinking maybe a corpse reviver with your homemade Elderberry liquor mixed in. Or a hot drink for Pyro"mancy". Or super chill for Cryo"mancy". I feel like your missing out on a chance to have some fun with this.

    The pineapple incident reminds me of an instant noodle misadventure I once had. Nissin Beef Ramen, Worcestershire sauce, and a slice of American cheese. Not a great idea on paper, but also something that could work. Beef and Worcestershire sauce go together, and believe it or not, American cheese is a pretty common addition to instant noodles.
    It went so impressively wrong, worse than I could have imagined. Every miserable note of fermentation and decay in the unspellable sauce came out to party, the cheese refused to melt and incorporate entirely, and there was this hit that was kinda tamarind-y, but real bad. Then it all sorta came together in your mouth, tasting like something that had already been eaten and rejected by a wiser man's stomach. The original flavor was completely lost, corrupted by my own idiocy and desire for something beyond Nissin's perfectly acceptable beef flavor.
    Minus the cheese that glopped up at the bottom, I finished the bowl.

A splash of bitters. Sprinkle in a packet of aspirin powder. Garnish with a sprig of rubbed mint and a maraschino cherry sharing a toothpick. No ice. Stir with the mint and cherry facing downward. Bonus points for using it to wash down a Benadryl. Now you're ready to give up on this crappy day! Go to bed.
