Bruichladdich distilery is pretty environmentally minded, they've reduced the glass in their bottles and dispensed with presentation boxes, source their grain and water locally and state they aim to decarbonise their distilling by nest year. Their Botanist gin is one of my favs and the Classic Laddie makes a mean Rob Roy.

idea for a future challenge video! take "tasting notes" from past videos out of context, and Greg has to try and make what drink he thinks it describes, will be especially difficult if the ones used barely have any helpful notes and more explitives and exclamations, theyre my favourite part of these videos and i think they should be utilised more :)

Greg (AND hidden Meredith!), this was a fantastic episode as always! I really appreciate that the last video or two HASN'T been a BetterHelp sponsorship -- I think that's finally pushed me to join the patreon tbh, I appreciate the integrity even with a slip-up, and I'd rather toss in a few bucks than see you have to reach for sketchy sponsors like them. As for the carbon-neutral stuff, I don't have anything to add, but I'm a HUGE fan of boiling the planet a little slower! and a huge fan of the show! so an episode about things that boil the planet slower sounds like a GREAT win to me!! Keep up the great work, guys :)

1:00 Indeed, copper and acids react with each other and create a green coloured chemical which will colour your drink green, too. Which will make you nauseous. Don't drink it, but first and foremost, don't store any sort of soda or acid containing drink or foodstuff in a copper vessel.

Doing it again tomorrow, having messed around with some new recipes I’ve put together over the last couple of weeks, largely thanks to the inspiration of workshopping cocktails via watching HTD.

It takes a lot of copper to poison yourself. We're talking, like, ten mules a day for two entire weeks, each of which sits in the mug for half an hour before the first sip, assuming you have a preexisting condition that prevents your kidneys from flushing excess copper from your body. It's a bit like the paranoia about mercury from fish, but even sillier. The alcohol will kill you first.

A form of mule I’ve been enjoying recently is a sort of sake-mule I found in a cookbook a while ago. Put some sake, cilantro, sliced cucumber and ginger in a sealed container, let it sit for a couple hours, strain into a glass and build like a mule/stormy. Really nice

I did a lazy, Dark & Muley, because I only had a few ingrediants. Sweet lemon (my lemon tree is cross polinated by the orange tree next to it and the lemons are oddly sweet) , Kraken Rum, ginger beer, in a Copper (stainless steel) Mug. Had the desired tastbud tickling effect.

My favorite way to make a gin and tonic is using Fever Tree Elderflower tonic and Greenhouse Gin. Combined you get a really floral, but almost berry like sweetness. I like to add orange bitters to it too.

As someone whose go-to drink is a gin and tonic, here are some of my favorite twists on the classic. I Wouldn't reccommend doing all of these at the same time, just go with one or two that sound good to you. -Sweeten it with elderflower liqueur -Garnish it with a sprig of rosemary -Add a splash of Ouzo -Use fever-tree elderflower tonic -Use multiple gins in the same drink -A dash or two of Angostura orange bitters

For sweetening and spicing up a gin & tonic, you can add just about any liqueur. One of my favorites is a splash of sloe gin.

Might've been too obvious since it's really popular, but imo a good lemon drop that's more tart than sweet is the PERFECT drink for a hot summer day. Most refreshing drink I've ever had, and they're SO cheap to make. You can get all of the ingredients to make them for like $30, and it's still perfect.

I make my Daiquiris with homemade semi-rich Orgeat instead of Simple. It brings some of that nutty almond creaminess you're describing. So far, it's my favorite version. Also, I feel you on the cherry-to-almond connection: there's a kind of cherry juiciness to almond essence. You might notice it in Christmas cookies, for example. It's basically magic. Finally, did you just dump all that masticated mint into that glass w/o fine straining? Ok, *now* finally, the G&T story: Priceless! Love that. I've always made mine at a 1:1 ratio and love that it's "historical".

21:03 A Gin and Tonic is a Gin and Tonic, but there's infinite room for variation there. That could be a whole series of episodes on its own. Different tonics, adding your own fruits and botanicals (like the Mexican gin and tonic with orange and cinnamon, or adding rosemary, some pink peppercorns, some cucumber, etc), and then little modifiers like adding some suze, a bit of lilet, some marascino, some aperol, etc. Some bars elevate the G&T to a fine art.

So part of the reason the Elemakule bitters worked, is that they are allspice and clove foreword. And those are flavors commonly used in southern Mexican and Yucatecan cuisines: savory and salty with cinnamon/clove/nutmeg and citrus.

My mom and my stepdad both love Moscow mules. A few years ago I made ginger syrup recipe from Cocktail Chemistry. You shake an ounce of that syrup with an ounce of lime juice and two ounces of vodka. Then you strain them into your mug and top with club soda. It's delicious.
