Drinks from Skyrim | How to Drink

Real world versions of drinks from Skyrim, as served by Talen-Jei at the Bee and the Barb in Riften! I used to be an adventurer, like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Skyrim is a few years old now but remains hugely popular, and it boasts a thriving community of players and modders who are keeping the thing going and going and going. I haven't played it myself in a bit, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in Skyrim, and I've been thinking about making drinks from it for a long time. It doesn't hurt that "Drinks from Skyrim" is one of the most common requests I get, so let's do it. Looking at Skyrim there's a few options I can go with, Skooma comes to mind of course, but since Skyrim actually has three legitimate cocktails in its setting, it seems silly to start with anything else, so I'll have to save the Skooma for another day. I'm instead going to focus on the drinks served by Talen-Jei, the bartender and owner of the Riften bar called The Bee and The Barb. He's got three speciality cocktails on the menu, and they all sound pretty great, so I'm recreating those here.

Something fun about Skyrim, the recipe for Honningbrew Mead that you steal actually works as a mead recipe. I made it, made about 30 bottles of it in one batch, and it fermented out to 17%.

[@howtodrink]

How was it?

[@anthonykirkpatrick30]

@@howtodrink Dangerously good, with an ABV that high. Several friends of mine really liked cooking with it, especially for barbecue (marinade was best with chicken, second best with pork, and beef brought out the cinnamon REALLY strongly for some reason). Actually took it to my favorite local homebrew store, and handed a bottle off to the guy who actually judged local brewing competitions. From his notes: aroma - nice fruit + honey nose, honey notes coming through well. Color: Beautiful color (gold) excellent clarity, filtered? Flavor - starts sweet up front, mid palate is a tiny bit flat. Finish- Nice long lasting finish, tartness is right on, very pleasing finish. Side note: I never filtered it, just let it sit for a long time, about 8-9 months. I was rather proud as this was my first big brewing project. Sorry if this reply is a bit long, but I wanted to include the information from the more knowledgeable palate.

[@comesahorseman]

If you can brew beer, making mead is actually much easier; it's slower to mature, 'though.

[@anthonykirkpatrick30]

@Connor, the android sent by CyberLife Well, I was surprised that it worked when I first started, but after reading books on brewing, I have learned that it's actually a pretty simple recipe. So Bethesda probably just found a simple recipe, and added some Skyrim twists on it.

[@anthonykirkpatrick30]

@@Myrkul-D The thing with joining the Stormcloaks is yea you effectively push the Imperials out of Skyrim, yet at the same time the Empire was also keeping the Thalmor in check. By taking out the Imperials you practically let the Thalmor run loose. There should have been an option to unite the Imperials and Stormcloaks and go after the Thalmor instead

[@bellebirk7386]

Azka '02 I think argonians are just generally nice. At least the ones you usually meet in the game. Also even though they have one voice actor the males have the nicest voice actor in my opinion. Reminds me of Garrus from Mass Effect. And it’s utterly ridiculous that they won’t let the Argonians in Windhelm. No offence but they’re allowing a High Elf with shady business deals into their city when they absolutely despise the Thalmor yet Argonians living within the walls is too much?! Just let them both live there damn

please make a "flavour wheel"

[@PaleCentaur]

I decided to click on this video solely because I knew it would tell me how to make Talen-Jei's drinks and I was just wondering what they would be like while playing earlier today. Your timing is excellent.

[@PaleCentaur]

Also, big ups for using Connemara. It's my favorite whiskey and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw you pull out that bottle.

[@jturn4646]

9 years later and Skyrimis still relevant. Love it.

[@danielcabrera8671]

Why did I just find this beautiful man making beautiful drinks?

[@RealSeanithan]

My favorite part of all these drinks is that they mix a potentially deadly ingredient (nightshade) in with a drink called the "Velvet LeChance", which is an obvious throwback to your main Dark Brotherhood contact in Oblivion, Lucien LeChance.

[@angelique_cs]

"STOP THAT." No, Sir! I say ...*go* that... Look I'm doing my best. Fun episode, thanks!

[@xXLovelyWolfLadyXx]

I love the old skyrim jokes I lowkey miss them

[@doodlebees]

i feel like for the dark elven addition would be some absinthe cause they are definitely drinking their lives away and dancing with faeries

[@i_like_naps9126]

I've never clicked faster.

[@rossgourlay8123]

There's loads of Skyrim drinks you could make so I'd say just re-release the Skyrim episode a bunch of times. That's what Todd Howard would do

[@queuedjar4578]

ESO also has an extensive list of drinks

[@ThatOneAnnoyingPubPlayer]

But have the background decorations be shifted around every skyrim episode "New features"

[@Anurepa]

The Velvet LeChance, I always added a minute dusting of chipotle pepper powder on top to work as the touch of nightshade, then I let it sit for a few minutes to sift through the drink. Gives it a smoky underscore, and a slight touch of heat toward the end, similar to a poison taking effect after a bit.

I made my own mead and lavender syrup for the white gold tower. The drink reminded me of eggnog in texture and taste. Very good.

[@AWACS_Snowblind]

Well mixed, my N'wah! Have a fishy stick for your efforts. _(Had to meme on ya there)_

[@reynax666]

greg making talen jei sound irish was the highlight of my day

[@dylanboring1947]

Skooma could very well be a play on absinthe, as its made from moonsugar which is derived from plants in elsewyr, fermenting the wormwood plant directly and having a high concentration coupled with the high alchohol percentage would account for the mental deterioration as well as when taken in large quantities wormwood can mess with your central nervous system causing the overall deterioration of the person with the alcohol of course

[@marylight9700]

Do Skooma Do Skooma Do SKooma To not do Skooma might be considered racist, khajiit racist :-^ Everyone loves kitties~

[@munkle_3]

I was going to dislike this comment until I fell to the adorableness.

[@benjaminavery3358]

This man is flexing the hell out of these cameras and I love it.

[@xxprotoslayer71xx_12]

Greg in the Dirty Wastelander video: I don't really like Bethesda games Also Greg: *pulls out direct scripture from Skyrim and sings half the video*

[@aiden.ambulance]

"i took an arrow to the knee while adventuring..."

[@wardogdauwdd3020]

I think you should design your own drinks based off your favorite games and have it be a series like "my hand crafted game drinks"

[@The_Legend47]

Greg, I LOVE your intro, and could listen 2 it all day; it's bright, cheerful, & reminds me (somewhat) of a certain Minecraft KZbinr (from back when he was allowed both an intro and an outro)....

[@prumkinpie8439]

This man some how makes me want to underage drink and I usually hate alcohol

[@MoSchneider]

I dont know you and i dont care to know you!

[@atlanticsquib7232]

I don’t think he’d be happy to know he’s inspiring kids to drink alcohol, and btw underage drinking isn’t a bragging right, it just makes u sound like u have no personality so u make underage drinking your personality.

[@Timelost_Techpriest]

FYI, potato plants are in fact poisonous, as befits a nightshade. Only the tuber part isn't.

[@zanderrose]

In Elder Scrolls Online, Sujamma is made from Barley, Comberry (a fictional berry used to make bitter wine in Cyrodil) and Lemon so I would imagine Sujamma being a beer/wine hybrid like the beer the Phoenicians used to make, with some lemon zest as flavoring

[@lilitulee]

This channel is such a journey, I find it on bicycle day and now get to enjoy it for 4/20!🥰

[@aubreyarchives]

That Singing In the Rain character voice played in my head just before you played the clip. That was deeply satisfying for some reason lmao.

[@darthnihilus3447]

The expression you hear from the guards 'I used to be an adventurer like you till I took an arrow to the knee' actually means that he used to be an adventurer till he got married

[@Flustershy]

That white gold tower looks really good TBH, Not too big of a fan when it comes to alcohol but that does look like I very much would enjoy it.

[@GertrudeFilthbasket]

8:40 the look of that Velvet LeChance, fits the part, perfectly!
