Does anyone else British watch this to see what they don't have in America? You should do one on food and restaurants, some Americans were suprised when I said I've never had a taco or burrito

[@asp5054]

wait, u never had a burrito or taco? thats weird even for a brit. I'm British and i have tacos all the time!

[@starlaoutlaw7926]

I've never had curry. I'm american. Lol curry just doesn't sound good. However alot of the foods I've seen that you guys have looks amazing

[@tiki_trash]

American here, and I've never had spotted dick. But I sure love tacos, nice juicy tacos with juices that run down your chin, oh yeah... Tacos that make you want to spread them apart and put your whole face in them... I'm sorry, were you saying something?

[@monkfan72]

[@michelleclark7095]

Our local UK inspired Pub also makes a Pimm's Punch using the Black Currant & Elderflower Pimm's. Check out Merlins Rest in Minneapolis.

[@juhlemann]

I never had any British cocktails until my wife and I discovered Pimm's Cup in Lower Slaughter a few summers ago. Properly made, these were heaven

[@oliviaplayer8039]

Awesome vid!

[@G1NZOU]

The sun never sets on the British Empire, ergo, it is permanently cocktail hour.

[@leedoughty7484]

how does it never set? i live in Britain and i would like you to explain this to me...

[@usafvet100]

+Jeff Harrison If one counts the Commonwealth, it may still technically be true. Yet the Empire of Queen Victoria, Rudyard Kipling, Cecil Rhodes, and Lance Corporal Jones who defended the Empire from the fuzzy wuzzies who didn't like it up 'em is long gone, for better or worse.

[@baraxor]

+Lee Doughty Because during the Victorian era there was no part of the world where there was complete "night" over some part of the wide-ranging British Empire. Actually, it's still true because of little Pitcairn Island.

[@Rosi_in_space]

+Lee Doughty Not really, the Sun hides behind the Moon

[@Davnyissocoollike]

I needed this in my life!

[@brentrichardson6172]

The Pimm's cup is the only British cocktail I make in the Summer. I'll have to try these others. Thanks!

[@chauffeur7838]

Very nice one! I liked the comparison of British summer and celebreties :D

[@sinxut]

I'm gonna try doing the last one, seems really refreshing :)

[@omaralbayati8402]

Thanks a lot for this

[@saikatbiswas2108]

I love British food and beverages

[@NOVA_2056]

There's a really good American drink, similar to an English Country Garden, called a "Mint Julep" that can be made with: Simple syrup (you can pick this up at a local Target, along with...) Lemon San Pellegrino (also called S.Pellegrino) And some mint leaves from a Save-Mart. Using a (preferably metal) cup, and a tenderizer-like crusher, crush ~8 mint leaves until bruised, not damaged, but just enough to release the mint oils without releasing the bitter elements of the plant itself. Then, pour .5 shot of simple syrup onto the leaves. Fill the cup with crushed ice, then add 2.5 shots of S.Pellegrino. Stir until the outside of the cup is frosted, garnish with a small stick of mint if you're feeling fancy, then enjoy this adaptation of a classic Kentucky cocktail. If you want it alcoholic, substitute S.Pellegrino for bourbon or whisky. I've been told that it's good with a shot of grenadine, too.

[@henrycolestage4249]

Pimms #1 Cup at the Burghley Horse trials. Or, in my garden on any summer day that isn't actively raining. ;-)

[@thephantom39]

Confusing, and we have not even had a drink yet.. speak for yourself.. I have had 2 already and am ready to watch your video now :) hahahaa I personally do not think granny smith apples are tart, they are green. In the US we do have tart green apples called crab apples :) Awesome video as always :) you are doing a great job as the new hostess :)

[@Rach2625]

They all look so good but I don't have the effort to make them. Would rather just go to a bar!

[@paulinecahill2633]

Rach2625 Me too Rach. I do sometimes make my own Gin and Tonic (G&T) but I don't measure the ingredients, and I use more gin in the mix!

[@Char10tti3]

I've never had any of them, usually we just have Pimms, traditional American or whiskey cocktails

[@girlplease3217]

My friends and I had a bbq recently and we attempted to make cocktails, in the end we gave up and just shotted the liquor straight like true Brits

[@elizabethweaver5702]

I love summers in England. These are great, but Pimm's is this Yank's favorite! Keep the Anglophenia fun coming! Great episode. :)

[@jodibolan438]

The Gin and tonic is my favorite cocktail. 😊❤

[@karltonk4784]

Bramley Apples, while originating in England, are available both as individual apples as well as small trees in both Canada and the USA

[@trancehi]

Wow, I'm from Somerset and I've never heard of 'Bramley Somerset Sour'. Somerset is infamous for having tons of cider here and orchards are everywhere, some are completely wild and never maintained too where you can easily go scrumping.

[@ToriaBradley]

Started watching and kept my fingers crossed that the first you mentioned would be gin and tonic!! Was not disappointed. Personally though, I switch the tonic for bitter lemon.

[@Abdullahalmamun-iv5ub]

i never thought English country garden would be so tasty. thank you a lot...!

[@CanuckJim]

I must admit I find the egg white a bit disturbing.

Irish coffee. Technically, it isn't a cocktail ( actually, it isn't at all )... but it'll put hairs under your oxters !

[@maraskywalkeriii]

Not really a cocktail but I do love a shandy on a warm summer's night.

[@TheStgmp44]

this subject reminds me of a Frankie Boyle joke ....... a guy walks into a pub in Scotland and asks the barman for a pint of Lager and Lime. the barman reply's "we don't serve cocktails".

[@uliseslira577]

[@ToriaBradley]

Started watching and so happy that the first was G+T! I mean, it had to be. I have gin with bitter lemon though... so much nicer.

Very much in the G&T camp :) There is a good Canadian gin out these days! Called Ungava.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

My favorite british cocktail is a glass of whiskey

[@dpfunk78]

*whisky

[@user-yn6gk7xf3h]

+DPF 78 whiskey*

[@ToughMrBones]

"whiskey" isn't a "cocktail"... Old fashioned (which is basically "whiskey", bitters and sugar is a cocktail you might like

[@CarolineAnandSiddiqui]

I don't care about the drink, just binge watching all her videos.

[@MrDonkrypton]

I'd like to have a *_Ginpirinha_* every now and then: A big longdrink-glass, one lemon in four slices, slightly squashed and mixed together with lots of crushed ice, two shots of Gin, filled up with tonic water - looks great, tastes even greater! BTW: I prefer Plymouth Dry Gin, if you are lucky and you can get the Navy Strength (74% Vol.), use less Gin!

[@TomCosg]

I imagine Kate had fun making this video!

[@sirperybLakeney]

Barring a G&T I wouldn't regard these as common British drinks (though I'm sure they're delicious). Here's a suggestion for a list of traditional British cocktails (along with a couple of modern classics): Tom Collins Planters Punch Singapore Sling Pink Gin Whisky Mac Grog Bucks' Fizz Black Velvet Pimms Espresso Martini There's also hot cocktails such as hot toddies, mulled wine (or a smoking bishop!), wassail (mulled cider) and so on.

[@doccyclopz]

I love a Pimm's Cup served in a Pimp-cup.

[@cnwd3295]

I'm kind of just watching this to see Kate, I'm not legal drinking age (18)! She is so cute in this video! Don't hate me for saying that...

Heinrich Deer because at the time i made this name i was a massive fan of joey gracceffa(which i currently regret greatly) and he called his followers psycopaths. Now i just like the name - it makes me feel mysterious 😎

[@cookiejadayas727]

+a psycopathic pluviophile OMO! Don't worry, I'm sure he didn't mean it! You don't seem like a psyco.

[@apsycopathicpluviophile9881]

[@patusia12lol]

the last one reminds me my favorite cocktail - whiskey in the jar

[@crytapusta]

in America we call sugar syrup ,simple syrup and is usually made by boiling the water and then adding sugar to it.

[@SingSongThePegasus]

For the nonalcoholic one, is there anything else you can use in replacement for soda? I've never liked the taste of carbonation but I really want to try this one out!

[@TheJeleb]

water. soda water is carbonated water...

[@SingSongThePegasus]

Okay thanks! I didn't know if it added an extra flavour or something.

[@clsisman]

SingSongThePegasus It does have a slightly different taste. If you are going to use water, then I would recommend adding a tiny dribble of elderflower cordial. Definitely won't mess with the English Country theme either, because elderflower grows all over the south-west of England on all the roadsides.

[@NickCombs]

+TheJeleb It includes quinine, which is bitter, as she said.

[@simonwatts8338]

You missed the "Snakebite". Carlsberg special brew beer mixed with rough, cloudy cider with a dash of black current cordial. Sends you psychotic.

[@wkyrouz]

A Bramble sounds good!

[@Shokupan982]

I'm obsessed with shandy.

[@MJAAhmad]

That Funhaus-style royalty free background music though.

[@fernandasworld6]

Definitely the English country garden cocktail. Not only because is an alcohol free but because is refreshing and sweet. However, I'm too lazy so I wouldn't prepare a cocktail like this

[@aj8013]

nice

[@usafvet100]

Still waiting for a contrast between Brit and American automotive terms and driving regs. BTW, can someone tell me what MOT stands for? It sounds like what we call a safety inspection here in the states, but perhaps a bit more stringent. My state no longer even requires a safety inspection to get one's tags renewed. Taking care of it lonline also ends the days of "take a number and wait your turn" at the revenue office

[@Love00Mother00Earth]

usafvet100 MOT's are safety tests that, after they reach 3 years old, every car in the UK must pass yearly in order to be roadworthy. Cars can fail on things like bald tyres and bust headlights, they also need to pass an emissions test. Driving without a valid MOT gets you up to a £1000 fine - it also invalidates insurance so you could be in for another fine and penalty points on your license. It's all a bit of a ballache but it does stop the idiots driving cars that are completely unroadworthy!

[@usafvet100]

+Love00Mother00Earth Many thanks, I thought it was something like that. I like the "Wheeler Dealer" programme in which Brits Mike Brewer and Edd China buy mingy classic cars, fix them up, and sell them on. Mike sometimes crosses to our side of the pond in search of Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, Chargers, and the like which can fetch a high price in the UK, enough to make a tidy profit despite the shipping and repair costs. Anyroad, passing the MOT is sometimes an issue to make the vehicle street legal in the UK. As I mentioned, a safety inspection used to be a yearly requirement before you could renew your registration and license plate stickers, but for some reason my home state has discontinued the practice a few years ago. Even so, the cops can still pull you over and ticket you for dead lights or cracked/missing lenses, a cracked windshield, malfunctioning or missing wipers, smoky exhaust, or any other obvious safety violations. Rust-eaten old jalopies are called "cop magnets" since they're very likely to attract attention and get pulled over.

[@audreydavis3527]

make more videos Please!

[@deeallen1526]

I like The Bramble.

[@trenae77]

Is there a way of making the Brambles non-alcoholic?

[@radeakins]

I'm English and never heard of them. Try these: Lager and lime: Cold larger with lime cordial but also work good lemonade Mild and bitter: One half Bitter beer and Mild Ale Cider and black: Cider and blackcurrant also works with Grenedine Posit: Eggs, Sherry, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and cream. or my favorite: Guinness and Tiamaria. Guinness and Tia Maria coffee liquor, one shot per half pint.

[@ChyarasKiss]

Recipes?

[@radeakins]

yes, very simple. My experience tells me less is more.

[@electricleg207]

Guinness and bitter (black and tan) guinness and cider (muddy water). I used to drink in a small local pub where a bloke used to drink what he called a `brown robin` this was a shot of every optic ( there was a lot less of them then) so i suppose gin,vodka ,whisky ,brandy ,rum then topped up with best bitter.

[@radeakins]

+electricleg we had something similar to the robin. we called it the batch. any bottle with not much left in it is pure into a pitcher. there can be anything in it. juices. cordials. whiskeys. gins. vodkas. bitters. stouts. wines. ciders. tea. coffee. milf. anything drinkable. first to drink a pint a pot of cash.

[@ukaszgrot5183]

My favorite British cocktail is malt whisky on ice with coke, below the recipe: 1. Fill the glass with coke and ice 2. Pour it into the sink 3. Enjoy the taste of the single malt whisky
