On the topic of sustainable distilleries you might look at Frey Ranch, they’re 100% farm to bottle.

[@n0isyturtle]

I'd love an episode on cocktails that utilize lesser used liquors. Stuff like Batavia Arrak, Aquavit, Xtabentun, Mastiha. Ya know, weird stuff most bars don't even carry.

Ah, the essence of HTD - "Here's some good drinks and how to make 'em." Pure and simple. Also Greg chewing the furniture a little bit will always be timeless. 😆

[@everythingsalright1121]

Well...sometimes good lol. Customer is always wrong...yknow

[@Kelsey_Graham]

Greg has given me the ultimate boon at partys. I get super anxious when talking to new people, but now I just bartend

[@craigbryant9925]

It's one of the reasons I became a bartender. It forced me to be in a limited social environment that I couldn't escape from but I still had the "safety" of the counter separating me from the other people. I still don't like social situations but I've become pretty good at faking it.

[@devinsieben5226]

Yep, parties were never my scene, but now I can just have fun at the bar and mix cool shit that makes everyone feel special. Definitely have to thank this channel for giving me something awesome to do rather than just always staying at home or being bored.

[@Thephantomofmusic]

The little "gremlin" cam where the giant Greg has to talk to us in the little front camera is a great touch. I'm sure the focus on it is hard to maintain, but it adds a bit of frantic energy which I love.

[@howtodrink]

It’s a canon with real fast autofocus, I was just shooting this in f2.1 which is dumb. Won’t do that again

Biblically accurate HTD.

This whole episode felt like that ATHF meme of Carl saying, "It don't matter...None of this matters..."

[@pheonixalchemist]

Badasss… like R.E.O. Speedwagon or sumptin.

[@donkiwi4888]

this show is comfort food for me tbh. It's entertaining, aesthetically pleasing (those slo-mo pours...) and with Greg's down-to-earth charm that makes it a great show to watch after work.

[@gameclipsbynikto5220]

well said!

[@cr0wscorner]

Big agree, honestly. I don't even drink much, but it's a joy watching and listening and learning about the different drinks. Plus good for a chuckle here and there!

[@shmooters5599]

Same, I don’t even like alcohol, but this show got me interested in cocktails regardless.

[@GladJack2222]

Same - Greg's on my "Comfort KZbinrs" list.

[@steviebrd1065]

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.

[@andros1486]

Shoutout to Nc'Nean distillery as well, sustainable whisky that tastes great

[@ondrejvarada8265]

Word!

[@brentlockman7195]

"I"M A FREE MAN" can't hear that without thinking of those words followed by a killer Maiden song.

[@zikifer]

As a fellow rum guy I'd love an episode where you take traditional whiskey cocktails and remake them with rum.

[@spook75a28]

Let me tell you this right now, if you substitute an aged Appleton Estate Jamaican rum for the bourbon, you can make an amazing Lion's Tail. 1/2oz fresh lime juice 1/4oz simple 2 shakes of the angostura bitters 1/2oz St Elizabeth Allspice Dram 2oz Appleton Estates 12 year shake, strain, bam. Enjoy. Thank me later.

[@bombshellblonde544]

Oh my god the whiskey smash was a mess, and I appreciate the honesty of keeping it in the video instead of re-shooting. It's delightful how little you take yourself seriously

[@Jakkaroo]

I feel like more of a connosieur of Greg than of alcoholic drinks at this point. He starts so bitter but there's an incredible evolution toward the end of the epilepsy-medication-fuelled path to inspiration... He wakes up to genuine, qualified creativity, curiosity, his passion returns. I am inspired and left at-ease. 8.8/10, would watch again.

[@rene9892]

you seem more: -knowledgeable -confident -innovative/creative all while making things come across effortlessly. It's been a pleasure watching you grow over the years.

[@lexinwonderland5741]

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 :)

[@jeremygold6331]

So glad we are going back to the old formula of "I like to dink this; here's how I make it" 'The internet punishes Greg' was fun for a SHORT while but I've missed GOOD drinks 🍸

[@4whomittolz846]

oooh speaking of Fever tree, they make what they call a "distiller's cola", which is meant to be a mixer for top shelf spirits. It would be fun to see you do a wide cola review, because I've always thought the pepsi/coke duopoly is holding the cocktail world back.

[@GaviLazan]

I've never seen that, sounds cool!

[@jbmcb]

He did a great Ginger Beer roundup a couple of months ago. The thing that threw me, though, was he said Fentimans wasn't very hot. Last time I had Fentimans it was knock you off your seat hot, with chunks of ginger floating in it.

[@KMal1337]

I'm digging the dynamic low camera angles. Not overused but spices things up just a little. Almost akin to Alton Brown, in that Greg always seems excited to talk about what he's doing, but to a closer shot so it feels like he's talking to you, not AT you.

[@leosaffron222]

Copperworks in Seattle does sustainably sourced wheat for their Whiskey. They have a whole thing about signing with farmers who are making sure salmon populations aren't affected by their wheat farming. Was a really cool part of our conversation whilst tasting.

[@JebTanRIP]

Greg getting in shape!!! Noticably leaner, keep up the good work

[@christopherklinck]

Don’t know if you’ll see this, but all the same, I need to offer thanks. I fell in love with tiki bars about a year ago, and thanks to the channel (and some other research), I hosted a tiki/record party, and managed to put some decent drinks. 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. Hope the world is smiling on you and yours.

[@lindsayduet5658]

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 :)

[@heartwoodmtg9246]

I like that you spent a little time to talk in detail about the G&T. It was helpful!

[@bobbyjones7756]

Teacher, here. Been drinking ritas and mai tais all summer, with a few others thrown in - the occasional mule or whiskey sour. The key is having the drinks at lunch so a large portion of the afternoon is a nap. Haven't made a whiskey smash yet, but - I will today. Cheers.

[@bambam2x905]

Angels Envy has sustainable initiatives with plantings trees due to the environmental costs of oak barrels. I’d love an episode on environmental costs of cocktails/distilling!

[@snrincognito]

Always love you, love you revisiting simple recipes and being the least snobby yet sophisticated taster around. I HATE your new camera. Makes your editing feel jarring and amateur, sound levels jump around, focus jumps around. Really think the wide combined with the slow close is a winning combo. Thank you for making great content that makes me continually inspired to mix.

[@GuagDiggly]

I do love that after everyone got mad about the better help sponsor he just throws 2 episodes in a row for patreon. Hope the community shows up for that.

Lime juice is an amazing tenderizer for pork, it will actually dissolve it, a couple bottles of it in an aluminum pan with a rack of ribs, they are done in a hour or so on a charcoal grill .

[@Tridust98]

I'm sure you know your stuff. But don't put sour/acid stuff in aluminum. The aluminum dissolves and you might get aluminum poisoning.

Hemingway was a diabetic. According to some accounts, the original Hemingway Daiquiri contained rum, grapefruit, lime, and 6 drops of maraschino. That was damn near unpalatable for modern tastes, so the modern one includes more maraschino and simple syrup.

[@mattmason4338]

Strongly recommend watching The Prisoner, worth seeing people's concerns and viewpoints in 1967...and how much is the same today. Also just cool to see Patrick McGoohan handle an increasingly surreal environment.

[@dtpugliese318]

Whiskey smash is an excellent template for muddling whatever fruit is in season into the drink. Peaches, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and cherries all work incredibly well in this.

[@seantodd8875]

Can't agree more. Of all the widely-available ginger beers, I find Fever Tree to be the best.

[@1Jetsurf]

I love the old school throw back style of this video. Greg, jokes, drinks and closeups! All you need.

[@seneschal4617]

I don't drink much at all these days but I still love your videos. I think watching cocktails and drinks be made still tickles the same part of the brain cooking videos do. Thanks to your last video though, I am having a ginger beer tasting festival for myself this weekend

[@philobrain]

not a spirit, but one of the only carbon neutral wines is Lubanzi. They have two reds, two whites, an orange wine, a pet nat, and a sparkling rose, so lots of variety. They're also a b-corp and social enterprise (50% of profits go to healthcare and early childhood education for migrant vineyard workers and their families). Really cool product and company!

[@AaronMichaelLong]

I recommend "For Whom the Bell Tolls", which is about the Spanish Civil War. I think you'll appreciate it more than some of his older, more contemplative stuff.

When I first started my "making fun cocktails" kick, I got a mule mug because it was fun, it was the thing you were supposed to do! Turns out I bought one WITHOUT the food-safe insert and was giving myself heavy metal poisoning for a weekend or two!

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

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.

Diageo's new Bulleit distillery is carbon neutral. They use an electric steam boiler to provide all necessary heat inputs (most others use gas/diesel-fired boilers) and partnered with the local utility to have all the required sources to support that increased grid load be wind or solar.

I had the stuff for Dark & Stormies and Painkillers and found myself a little tipsy and put a Painkiller amount of cream of coconut into a Dark & Stormy and discovered that the lime and ginger with the coconut knocked my socks off. I have been calling it a Silver Lining Dark & Stormy or a Silver Lining Storm, it's such a minor modification but I like them even better than regular degular ones now.

That Evan Williams Bottled in Bond is one of my favorite bottles to reach for for anything mixed in a cocktail or drink. It is an awesome whiskey for the price and for how easy it is to come by.

[@mattpearson3036]

I can't thank you enough for starting this video with the dark n stormy. These have been my passion for the last few weeks.

[@Daealis]

Dark and Stormy, I've noticed that I really enjoy strong vanilla notes in mine, which is very fortunate, because one of the bottom shelf spiced rum here is Bacardi spiced, and that makes an excellent Dark and Stormy!

[@hobbs678]

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.

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

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.

As a lover of Gin & Tonics, Fever Tree's Elderflower Tonic Water has enough sweetness to it to balance everything out.

[@ch1k3nz1]

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

[@brewdaly1873]

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.

[@themather1]

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.

[@piperwalton]

On the topic of adding something to a gin and tonic, I've had great results just making a "martini" and serving it on the rocks with tonic water! Using blanc vermouth instead of dry works really well for this. Really nice and refreshing, and lets you sip and enjoy a little more slowly than a martini without worrying about it getting warm.

At the end of my Junior Year of College I "invented" a college drink and dubbed it "A Florida Man". Its a Hurricane on top of a AMF on top of a Hemmingway. Equal Parts Gin, Watermelon Vodka, Dark/Gold Rum, White Rum, Spiced Rum, Grapefruit Juice/Syrup, Cointreau, a second Orange Liqueur (Curacao), and 2 parts Lime Juice or Rose's Lime Cordele, Orange Juice, and Fashionola. It is served in a Margareta Glass and *elevated* and *lengthened* with a Mike's Hard Peach. It doesn't taste like alcohol, it tastes like citrus and strawberries, and if you serve it in a blender looks beautiful.
