As algorithm "likes" lists, then titles need to be cheap clickbaits like "Top X Christmas cocktails" ;)

[@robertgrenader858]

For Christmas this year, I am making Glogg, from your video of course.

[@carl_busch]

Im drinking a Winter Mai Tai!!!

[@CocktailsUnderQuarantine]

I really love the Hot Buttered Rum recipe from Smuggler's Cove.

[@joshwagner9519]

Where can we find your glassware?

[@spacesandy3410]

I simply love how concise, condensed and really to the point your videos are. Such a joy to watch and you learn so much from them. Thanks so much, Anders! Happy holidays!

[@motameus1]

Yeah, you're killing it Anders. I reckon 1 million subscribers is gonna happen in the next two years

[@alexushensley2476]

"Gambling destroys families." Thank you for putting this together 😊

[@metalsam666]

You are so damn charismatic, I don't even make drinks, but I like watching your stuff. I like the fumbling at the beginning of the video, its always the best part!

[@m.litwicki2077]

I just discovered that if you watch these at half-speed, it looks like you've already drunk all of the drinks, and then finished off what was left in the bottles. A lot of fun, and also the video lasts twice as long, so it's a win-win! Though now that I think of it, how do we know you didn't actually do that, and then double-speed it in editing to make it seem like you're sober? Hmmmm....

[@AndersErickson]

I cannot confirm nor deny that this is how we produce our videos.

[@kjjjacobs13]

I like to use hot apple cider instead of hot water for my Hot Buttered Rum and it’s soooo good! Tastes like if apple pie a La mode was a hot boozy drink. Love it!

[@Cale_E]

Goodness… this hot buttered rum recipe was delightful. Reminded me of the ski lodge during a snowstorm. “Hugs my soul”

[@bribhoney]

Very true, the algorithm loves list. Majority of the things I get recommend are list in things I have interest in or list of things that that peaked my interest once.

[@kevinashworth6256]

Love that all these drinks are relatively easy. Just what’s needed in this busy season! Have a bottle of sherry I’ve been wanting to crack. Now I know what to do with it first. Thanks, Anders.

[@ThatGuyMagnum]

Love seeing all these and going, "boy I can't wait to try these when it's 20C outside next july!" Southern hemisphere yay!

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

LOL! I legit paused the vid to write that comment. Anyways, I was laughting too loud to keep on watching. I so relate to the "people you don't know how to talk too" HAHAHAHA!!! Cheers mate! Great vid again... so far, I'm just at 4:36

[@AndersErickson]

Hahaha the struggle is real! Thanks, JF! Cheers!

[@dominicgerman5908]

6 drinks in one video?? It’s a Black Friday miracle! Can’t wait to make these tonight. Love the new space

[@AndersErickson]

Haha Thanks, Dominic! Hope you're having a great holiday weekend with some good drinks!

[@TheWeePearl]

These are all wonderful cocktails! Some of these are new to me. I’ll have to try them out.

[@zombiepirate]

Az's face when you shut the door in her face....priceless! Also, Anders looked more like the delivery guy than Az, I think it's the cap!

[@maitaioneon]

Anders, The Semester Abroad is fantastic!

[@gregglutz4690]

Lovin’ your content. I just had your semester abroad and I love it.

[@troyp5432]

"Happy cold weather days!" as I watch this in late December in Hawaii with nothing but a pair of shorts on in my living room at 8am. Ahhh, warm weather all year ain't so bad, but these cocktails sure look great!

[@jakelowell7861]

“If you found an egg lying in the street in the sun, don’t use it” Laughed much harder than I should have at that 😂 awesome video, can’t wait to try some of these

[@J.5.M.]

if you find an egg in the street return it to its owner!

[@mhudson1738]

Excited to try the Semester Abroad!

[@mikecdek]

That semester abroad made me shed a tear or three. Those beautiful memories. And then you went on to the sherry flip and 5 more tears came out.

[@brightvalve]

Your creation, The Semester Abroad is fantastic! Great depth, perfect sipper.

[@theijeomalyons]

I love the extraness of the mist of absinthe..YEESSSSSSS👏

[@tgray0379]

This channel has become my new addiction! Love the delivery and the variety of recipes you offer.

[@michaelpeper2778]

This inspired me to make my first flip. Delicious. For those who love the side-by-side drinks videos, what about a Flip episode? Sherry, Brandy, Cynar?! Port, Rum, Mr Black?! Maybe the algorithm doesn't like flip roundup videos, but I would!

[@Virru112]

Between Anders, How to Drink and Tipsy Bartender, all my drinking needs are covered.. Anders and How to Drink I watch even when not thinking about making drinks lol

[@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_]

Really cosy this video and AZ as postman,...fabulous,..bottoms up!!!!

[@crazydubwise]

Great comedy to garnish this amazing recipes. Love this channel, thank you , Mr Anderson!! Clap clap clap!!

[@amandamosser1854]

This just warmed the cockels of my heart - you da best!

[@dejahdanger]

Love this channel. Seriously upping my game in this tiny college town.

[@dustums]

Closing the door on Az's high five during the Brightcellar ad made me laugh out loud. You both are the best!

[@dannydm2133]

Always fantastic! I'd like a Ginger-ale recipe perhaps. Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but usually every Xmas party has ginger-ale everywhere! Cheers!

[@AndersErickson]

I didn't know that about Canada - sorry to not include one! Thanks, Danny!

[@angelarochester116]

I have trains pass me twice an hour from 5.30 until half past midnight….. absolutely love it!!!

[@AndersErickson]

I hope to get to your level of acceptance!

[@romanmalmas9370]

I love both algorithms and lists

[@linoluna8240]

Dude was on point, no BS just awesome cocktail recipes and And some humor. Great job !

[@bschauz]

These are different and I’m going to try them all, thanks!

[@gregglutz4690]

Anders. The Semester Abroad is a solid cocktail. I got to try it over the weekend at a restaurant. In your honor I had her serve it in a coupe. Arguably I should have had my second cocktail first as it was a dry martini (Uncle Val's Gin) splashed with garlic scape pickle juice. It brought some funk to the party. Lastly, really enjoying the channel.

[@bklynhelen3865]

I made the Elk’s Own. I’m a sucker for a foaming top. The fresh grated nutmeg really transformed it into a cold winter night cocktail 🍹

[@HollyMarsh0716]

Love the new space, trains be damned! You seem very at home there already. Thanks for the great list!

[@WinePA]

Thank you. You are the best! Happy holidays!

[@davidniebler5139]

The Semester Abroad is fantastic, especially on this cold and snowy night. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@karissa07]

These are so beautiful. Thanks!

[@davidcharlesworth6831]

Just what I needed! Got volunteered by the Mrs. to be bartender at a Christmas party on Dec 10th. Many thanks Anders.

[@jamesiles3038]

Hahaha exactly the same thing happened to me today! So great timing from Anders

[@AndersErickson]

You'll be a star, David! Happy mixing!

[@davidcharlesworth6831]

@@AndersErickson thanks dad. I’ll do you proud.

[@cliffhazelton]

The semester abroad? So good. *chef kiss* Thanks for these and the other videos. Subscribed!

[@emseypenguin]

Grew up in Guyana and moved to Plymouth UK so was really excited to see the 2 El Dorado rums and Plymouth Gin on your shelf, personal favs.

[@boozeontherocks]

These look great Andres. I like the new space and of course the plaid!!!!

[@spencercmartin13]

Love this! I always look forward to your Friday videos!! Been telling all my friends about you

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you so much, Spencer! Enjoy the weekend!

[@byProvings]

I can't get over how good your videos are.

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Tom! Cheers!

[@cascadediver1403]

Excellent Hot Buttered Rum! Thanks! I used Myers's Rum.

[@carolinesser-miles6608]

The rum flip was a great success as celebration on Christmas Eve. Delicious! But six people do go through eggs quickly. Thank you!

[@quentind4093]

Thanks for you job Anders ! Greetings from France 🤩

[@MaxwellTM]

Thank you Anders!

[@als.2983]

6 drink Holiday video is fantastic. So many interesting and tasty cocktails to chose from ... and 5 weeks to try them ALL. Thanks for reaching into you Holiday bag of tricks and sharing your favorites.

[@AndersErickson]

Hope you try them all! Cheers!

[@phillipbrent17]

Perfect timing! Very excited to try these out, thanks Anders & Az - you've gotten me into this hobby this year and it's been awesome to learn so far. ☺️

[@AndersErickson]

Love to hear that, Phillip! Cheers!

[@soumyadippramanik200]

Hey Anders thanks for another awsome video. Loved it, like every time👍👍😁 Really good balance of ingredients. Had a good time. have a good day.

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you so much, Soumyadip! Appreciate you watching, and happy you're liking the videos. Cheers to you!

[@judokazuzu]

At least one of the drinks I will add to the menu of the bar where I work, thank you!

[@helios566]

I tried out the Hot Buttered Rum and holy it's unusual smooth for a Rum cocktail. Very nice

[@teeveegee2428]

Wow.......this is like a TGV (the French fast track train) going on top speed! Good to have a lot of cocktails to get through the colder days.....but the pace is like a rampage! Allways like a little back story with the drinks.....As you can tell so well!......The egg comment; great stuff!

[@staceyaustin5148]

My new favorite!

[@Collindenton]

Hey Anders - just wanted to say this video (and a friend's whiskey sour) really inspired me to start trying my hand at cocktails, many of which I've never had before. I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience so far, and I just wanted to say thank you! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

[@PyrrhusBrin]

I was looking for a single serve hot buttered rum recipe and yours is right up my alley. I made it, used Denizen Merchant Reserve and to be honest it's like a giant buttery hug.

[@TheFrankSorensen]

Hey, did you use unsalted butter?

[@PyrrhusBrin]

​@@TheFrankSorensen sorry I didn't see this I used salted but I imagine that unsalted with a pinch of salt would be just as good.

[@1000-w6m]

I was waiting for this🔥🔥🔥 Thx Anders! To the bar, Cheers🍷

[@will5430]

I would’ve never thought gin and cream could go well together and here I am loving this drink!

[@mossbergk]

I’m sipping on your hot buttered rum right now after being stuck in a blizzard for 2hrs and it’s SO COMFORTING! Thank you for opening my eyes to this drink!

[@vivcruickshank6971]

Great video! I will definitely be making these!

[@betht555]

Thanks Anders & Az. Love a good list and perfect for a cold winters day here in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. Have spent my Saturday afternoon working through your list and my No1 is the Elkes Own. Enjoyed the others but for me its the Elkes.

[@michelledianevaughan6538]

I'm so excited to have found you on my feed. I haven't even finished this video yet & already liked & subscribed! Looking forward to binge watching your content.

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you so much! Cheers!

[@samueljohnson1333]

I thought that sounded like the CTA. Enjoy your new place! Great video, will be trying a flip soon.

[@oa3114]

Happy happy holidays to you also !

[@uwu31311]

Thanks u Bright Cellars

[@marcoochoa3223]

Made 3 of them. i really enjoyed the alexander ! And even more so the brandy alexander. Especially for the holidays really went well together. Thank you!

[@christoslefkimiotis9889]

Living close to a busy airport..... I feel your pain.....Elk's own and the Semester abroad (with fernet branca) look nice, will try the flip one with rum.....I always think the clover club and the pink lady as very festive cocktails. Nice video.

[@AndersErickson]

Great call with the Clover Club and Pink Lady!

[@DreadlessKahn]

Sold! These look amazing!

[@MasterYourGlass]

These are great cocktails Anders. The single-portion Hot Buttered Rum is in my near future!

[@Michael-do8pn]

You will grow to love that train. I'm in a similar situation and, even if I am not recording, I will stop what I am doing to enjoy the train passing.

[@peterverdon645]

I sure wish I had watched this video before I stumbled upon that egg on the side of the road. Great video! Will definitely be trying some of these

[@eriikjohnsson]

Elk's own is soo good

[@hagida]

A buttered cocktail, you've blown my mind 🐮😳... enjoyed the list thanks 👍

[@ChemistryTalkwithDan]

My wife walked into the room as you were discussing the hot buttered rum and immediately made a yummy noise. Hot buttered rum is now on the menu for tonight. Thank you sir!

[@AndersErickson]

Excellent! Enjoy it - Cheers!

[@MrChickster12]

For me the Elks own is for me!

[@mattcero1]

That train! Imagine how the Blue's Brothers felt! Dude, another great video, thanks. I've searched and have not found a drink that is total banana dessert styled. There has to be a spiced rum, banana liqueur, chocolate/chocolate bitters, coffee and maybe some vanilla or cherry? It won't have fresh bananas keep in mind and will mimic a banana split or something like it. And no to the dirty banana, it's been done to death. Let the alchemy begin if you so dare sir.

[@rvngo2989]

We use Bubu Rum or Lost Spirits Distillary "Navy" Rum for an amazing tasting Hot Buttered Rum.

[@mazaggie]

What a.. FLIPPING amazing video!

[@haimaratwickline5386]

thank you, I liked the video. Short and to the point.

[@carolinesser-miles6608]

I needed this half a day earlier! My private cocktail club met today, and the penicillin and old fashioned were today's favourite. We'll have to have one more before Christmas, then.

[@ramon9386]

Nice, I am on my second penicillin right now. Love it!

[@carolinesser-miles6608]

@@ramon9386 Mmmh. That was my lot yesterday. Cannot wait to try out the Alexander and a rum flip. I need something creamy or milky and cinnamony in my cocktail arsenal.

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Carolin! Love that you have a private cocktail club!

[@Rob_Anthony]

Another classy video, thank you. My pinky was up throughout watching the entire thing. So ready for the holidays now.

[@undeathmetal6574]

Thanks for the wide mix of styles! I'm way more into stiffer drinks, so the Semester Abroad seems perfect, but my bf is way more into creamy desserty drinks so totally I'll whip him up an Alexander. Great vid as always!

[@AndersErickson]

Something for everyone - Cheers!

[@gungfuriceboy]

i 'Love' trains!! Choooo-choo.... Another Great video Bartender!! You're an 'Inspiration' to Bartenders...of ALL 'LEVELS'! i'm Definitely a Huge FAN!! you'll probably have to AGAIN 'Find a Bigger Place....The 'Bottles' MUSt Be PILING UP AGAIN!!!......Happy Thanksgiving from Us in Canada!...Cheers ...Keep WARM!...the Cold Wintery Weather is COMING!

Thank you so much! Have to admit, I do seem to be filling the space with bottles pretty quickly. Cheers!

[@Niaru.m]

These videos are so cool and I really like coctails... because of this I will end up setting up a secret bar o.O Need so many types of liquids to make coctails...

[@ztpeterson]

Time to get some nutmeg! Excellent quick resource for holiday drinks! Thanks as always!

[@christinecamley]

How exciting! These are amazing ideas for holidays cocktails, Anders! I plan on trying them all over the holidays! That will be happily enjoyable! 🙂The cocktail that I have to try immediately is the Semester Abroad! That is on my list for tonight! Spectacular balance of ingredients! Thanks so much Anders!!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Christine! Hope you can try all of these - especially the Semester Abroad! Enjoy your weekend as the cooler season rolls in! 😊

[@christinecamley]

@@AndersErickson Thanks so much Anders!

[@theodorecalcaterra1240]

Anders, great video. I really like how you show each step.

[@tjeremyobrien]

I tried making the Alexander for my Christmas cocktail, and in all honesty, I did naaaht enjoy it. However, it did inspire me to create something I did enjoy with the bottle of creme de cacao I ended up buying. Later I discovered it was very similar to an existing cocktail: the 20th century. My version is 1.5oz gin, 1oz creme de cacao, 1oz sweet vermouth, 0.5oz lemon juice. Flame some orange peel over that. I call it a 2021.

[@hopeyhope2012]

Love Fernet, must try the Semester Abroad! Could certainly use a semester abroad, too. 🥲

[@AndersErickson]

I hope you do try it! If you love Fernet, I think you'll enjoy this one! Also hope you can get some time abroad too 😉

[@amandamosser1854]

You make me happy!!

[@dizzyedge]

Made the Elk’s Own at our family Christmas this year and it was an absolute HIT. Beautiful looking & tasting cocktail!
