Don’t change what you’re doing. Let TikTok do their thing. Your presentation are why we come to your channel. ❤

[@snidelywhiplash]

^^WHAT THIS PERSON SAID

[@beautifulmusic4life]

I did enjoy your commentary on the Tik Tok videos.

[@medicus5565]

@@snidelywhiplash What this person said (too)

[@klenk1am]

I love all your commentary. I'd miss that.

[@alecfotsch3533]

Yep!!

[@dianaburch69]

I think the mystery liquid in the first drink was fresh apple cider. It would make sense with the garnish, it’s the right color, and would add the acid necessary to balance the drink.

[@abbyentwistle6482]

Could be! I swear I heard the video say orange juice too which could be the citrus he was looking for 😅

[@OgreSwamp]

And by “cider” I guess you mean American non-alcohol apple drink? Asking because cider is an alcohol drink everywhere else afaik

[@debstrickland]

For those wondering about the first drink, it’s from Half Baked Harvest. Here’s the recipe from her website: 1-2 tablespoons pumpkin butter 1/3 cup apple cider 2 ounces tequila 1/2 ounce orange liquor ginger beer, for topping CINNI SUGAR RIM 1 tablespoon coarse sugar 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 pinch cayenne pepper pomegranate juice, for the rim

[@laurenhorner6963]

Aww I love HBH! The drinks can be hit or miss but at least they’re good inspiration for someone like me who isn’t creative 😅

[@abramhecht9768]

​@@laurenhorner6963😂I feel like everything from her is a little hit or miss but they are 100% creative!

[@Rollerman87]

"That last ice was hand flavored". That killed me. Haha

[@snidelywhiplash]

I mean, who **wouldn't** want the extra special hand-flavored ice?

[@girl_friday9185]

😂 Mmm-Mmmm-Mmm!!? 🤲🧊

[@nicola3540]

What I heard was much worse - I thought he was saying HAM flavoured ice! 🤮

[@mausball]

That's why I love the stuff from Greg at How to Drink. Not only does he talk through his measurements, but he lists the specs in the description every time. The pumpkin margarita actually sounds pretty good.

[@Asmall722]

Anders laughing at that second TikTok guy was one of the best things I've seen on this channel. That being said, your recipes are much better

[@maplekillas04]

He's actually worth a second look @nonjustabartender. Newer videos are well done and include measurements!

[@viperocco]

That tik tok dude was a bit cringe

[@SuperStarr817]

For the pomegranate margarita, I think the lemon and lime were sour mixes which already have sugar (just based on the bar setting).

[@jezzuh9120]

No she's just using the classic margarita build, which gets all its sugar from the Cointreau (or other orange liqueur). I was confused when Anders said she didn't add any sugar because he seems like the guy to dislike putting syrups in margaritas. I mean I sub the orange liqueur for agave personally so I'm all for it.

[@sebastiank7956]

We usually always skip the ads, but because you include your adorable dog, it's worth it every time.

[@brianherman503]

The ID inspection was priceless

[@snidelywhiplash]

Best dog.

[@ou812927]

Anders, Chris, the hand flavored ice guy is actually, like you, the real deal! I watch his Instagram reels and they are really good!

[@erikpapke9269]

hes one of my fave Insty cocktail follows

[@michaelbernardes81]

😂 I was thoroughly amused at the reactions...Im inspired to go make some hand flavored ice now!

[@misterwray9807]

"It's a very violent cocktail." 🤣 Very quotable vid. Loved this one!

[@trevordobrinska681]

One of my fave crossovers! Chris (Not Just A Bartender) is one of my absolute favorite TikTok channels! He really knows his stuff

[@JLeeeP]

Does he?

[@brianherman503]

I can’t make up my mind about him, he’s so smarmy

[@brianherman503]

The reaction at 18:01 is PRICELESS!! …It’s good…

[@ltdwlbl]

Awesome episode! Hand-flavored-ice is going to stick hahaha 😂

[@ethanlitwin3757]

May I make a suggestion? I’ve been having fun going through classic cocktail books and working with some recipes that don’t seem to have broken through yet. Crème de noyau caught my eye, so working up the Jockey Club and the Mikado, both from the Savoy Cocktail Book. Extremely fun and tasty!

[@AndersErickson]

Like this idea. Appreciate the comment

[@Xerdoz]

Thank you for not faking enthusiasm and shouting like an idiot, which unfortunately 90% of KZbinrs seem to think is great content.

[@istra450]

From someone who enjoys relaxing at night by watching “how to” cocktail videos with high production value (in landscape view) splayed across my 55” tv…please keep doing what you’re doing. Cheers!

[@bullfrog417]

I'd love a follow-up video where you fix these drinks. Keep your format. Your personality really comes through in your videos and it would be missed in short format.

[@logangstatv]

gosh i have a minor obsession with your channel... your videos brought me out of the darkest part of my life during quarantine, i love and appreciate your work so much. Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face

[@WilliamWallace817]

This was the funniest video I’ve seen in ages. 😂😂😂 I absolutely loved it - I’d love to see more.

[@haldendoerge]

The biggest problem with TikTok is that when I see the word my brain reacts too fast, immediately think-hoping that I just saw the word Tiki. And then I end up sad and disappointed. Fall TIki Drinks, now there would be something to get excited about!

[@saint-cetacean]

Allspice dram and cinnamon as far as the eye can see-- I'm in!

[@ForbiddenFig]

For the pomegranate margarita, adding pomegranate molasses for the sugar would be amazing.

[@joachimkoka5030]

I was really hoping you’d do that 2nd drink! So happy you’re not just doing novelty drinks in this video

[@thebigKM20]

I think you could make some good youtube shorts where you show a cocktail recipe with text instructions, but you tell the history of the cocktail in the voiceover. It gets your whole brand into a short video

[@samuelcho820]

Oh my god I LOVED this video. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. Loved watching Ander's reactions, and trying to gauge whether it's a good reaction or bad one-- both are highly entertaining. Plus, the added bonus of watching Anders react to a few of the cocktail/bartender content creators I follow!

[@anadrol9934]

it's still in my mouth "that's what she said" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JakeMontes]

This is a great video concept - I would happily watch you do this regularly, especially if you are interested in doing some critique of the technique, which seems to be a weak point for a lot of these short form cocktail videos that are more for show than instruction.

[@seotenin]

Woohoo!!! Happy Friday!!

[@NaturalDarkChocolate]

Great video!!! 🎉

[@jcoleman924]

The pup wins me over every time.

[@ToomanyFrancis]

For the Pomegranate marg it's 1.5oz tequila and 1oz Cointreau. Don't know lemon and lime cause she's free-pouring with squeeze bottles.

[@odiec5567]

Normally I would be against these recipes, but I am ready to switch to fall cocktails. Summer was brutal in my state, so any glimmer of cooler weather is much wanted.

[@spike315]

So much this It was 100 in Texas last weekend, please just let it go summer

[@karissa07]

We love your style. No short form. I am spending my Sunday and can't stop watching your awesome vids. Thanks!

[@kathyheater3977]

😂😂😂😂 loved this episode! I was drinking a Ward 8 (your recipe) and just couldn’t stop laughing! Made your recipe of grenadine this evening. I have learned so much from your videos. I look forward to them every week! Thanks

[@Notclyde4479]

Nothing better for a nice crisp fall-ish afternoon much appreciation

[@MrWhangdoodles]

Thanks for the video Anders!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers!

[@dp5548-g1e]

Our new favorite term "Hand flavored ice". That was great watching those pom seeds escape your torture session!

[@jeffreydove821]

That face after tasting the Cinnamon Toast Crunch was classic. Don't mess with your format. We love it just the way it is.

[@theshinydome1992]

I would love to see you put together short videos with just the recipe and the build, and then keep the longer videos with the history and everything else that makes me love your channel. The short ones would be easy to refer to and build with, but the longer videos are why I watch your channel. Keep it up!

[@parkinglot2642]

I’ve been watching Anders for years and seeing the channel grow has been amazing! It’s by far my favorite KZbin channel on here and the way you keep it new with every video keeps me coming back for more every week. Thank you for your service!

[@nathanvertil7355]

Your content by itself without the tiktok format is wonderful. Don't change what you're doing!

[@bcrewof6]

Love the videos. Love the content. Keep them coming. You rock!

[@jezzuh9120]

The sugar in the margarita comes from the Cointreau. She's using the classic build that doesn't have any syrups, just an orange liqueur. The only thing she's changing is adding the pomegranate.

[@staceyalmeidahurwitz1295]

Thisnis the best / funniest video yet Anders. We Love the reactions to the tik tok videos. We had the same. Love the hand flavored ice too and the violent one 😂

[@joelheidrich8779]

Would love seeing you correcting and workshopping these cocktails be interesting how you could improve on the tiktok version

[@markplacek6657]

I love Fridays this guy does it right thank you

[@stevenroland5997]

I loved this video. One of your best. Loved the humor and “hand flavored ice” comments throughout.

[@omideixis]

11:04 i love how everyone has That One Alcohol that they had too much of that one time and now every time they smell it they remember that time they almost died

[@JDRod88]

You MUST do more of these! These are hilarious! Now, you need a follow up video showing how you fix these drinks.

[@rickjamesdos2239]

Would love a midweek upload of an AMA, I think it would be fun!

[@Dr_Bombay]

props for honest reactions that also made me laugh. i think you were being kind. also, that one guy specified a Nick & Nora glass, and then used a coupe! at least you used the glass specified, even if it was a larger version. (or was it a wine glass?? haha)

[@camuscat123]

enjoyed this. I laughed, I cried, and my mind expanded.

[@MidwestGirl]

That was very entertaining - thanks Anders!

[@jacklinton5370]

I learnt everything I know about cocktails and balancing etc from Anders. Anders is a fucking legend !!!

[@crimsonfanzine9341]

Probably the most entertaining video on the channel for me so far. Both editing, content, and fun factor all 10\10.

[@frann.8879]

Thank you Anders for enduring this process!…..love your observations and of course the beautiful drinks! 👌👌CHEERS!🍹🍹…enjoy your weekend!😁😁❤️❤️

[@seanharding]

I too had an extremely traumatic experience with Goldschlager in my younger days, and my college friends will never let me live it down. Thanks for taking one for the team by tasting that Fireball....

[@leochiana]

Hi Anders.I like so much your videos.Thank you. This is my personal fall cocktail recipe: ORIENT EXPRESS 60 ml Batavia Arrack 22,5 ml Acidified Migawa tangerine juice ( 2 g citric, 1 malic for 100 ml of juice) 22,5 ginger syrup

[@6plus6bar]

Always happy for a new video!

[@masdumas]

This was a great video. Some of the folks you watched I watch and it was great to compare and contrast. Your delivery wins the day

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers Marc!

[@xxhotelcrazyxx]

We need more content like this... loved this episode

[@taylorwhitener3746]

I literally had a fall cocktail pop in my head the other night. Been work shopping it this evening. So far, I landed on 0.5oz dark rum (I'm using balcones) 1oz apple cider 0.25oz fernet branca 0.25oz all spice dram 0.25oz 2:1 simple 0.25oz lemon juice I need to play with adding an egg white, and adjusting the all spice and rum ratios

[@nickg8100]

Dude I love your content and history the way you have it

[@Mystico1713]

This was a funny one! Thank you anders!

[@medicus5565]

Your reaction to that second drink (no name) was priceless!!!

[@saramarzoli9647]

Cocktail with no name guy seems super nice, right? So genuine and humble

[@aliciadube]

This was so fun and hilarious to watch. I think you should do an episode like this every season!

[@parkjoe1]

Delivered on you promise of entertaining, kudos (and congrats on surviving 😄)

[@Armstrong-b7e]

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

[@strategic_amber_reservoir]

Loved that music at the end!

[@bloodageedits5147]

I'm such a sucker for autumn theme flavors, loved the video Anders, great as always! also I've started getting into making my own cocktails for fun. I made my own autumn theme cocktail with different ratios that I'm still messing around with. this is what I got so far: 1oz Apple Pumpkin syrup (steeped two bags of a pumpkin spice rooibos tea and then mixed in equal part sugar with the water, like two cups. then juiced an apple and tossed that into the syrup mixture as well.) 1oz lime juice 1/2 oz Drambuie 1 1/2 Rum (had plantation 5 year on hand) and 2 dashes of angostura. If anyone has any recommendations on what they'd change I'm all ears 😂

[@jimfererro1493]

“Hand flavored ice” is my new favorite phrase to use casually as I make someone a drink.

[@brandenreimer9288]

Love your videos Andres. It’s my main source of new cocktails to try

[@loganjohnson7423]

Really enjoyed this episode!!!

[@carlupthegrove262]

GREAT Episode.... just great

[@VincentCorvec]

Merci beaucoup, Anders !

[@Ali-mt8st]

You guys could make a killing doing short form content cause you already have such a large following here and your video production/quality is already better than a lot of other accounts!

[@bludog4657]

You both are the best!!!

[@johndallas7770]

this was such a fun video to watch Anders, would love more like it in the future!!

[@eduardofontes6]

I wait for Fri PM to leave work and watch your videos. And of course make for myself. You're great!!!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks for tuning in! Cheers

[@conantf]

Anders watching videos and recreating them just like I do with Anders’ videos. So meta.

[@competentwoman9137]

I'd love to see more of this kind of thing, maybe you could try to rebalance some of these cocktails too or give us your take on the ideas? Thanks, always love your videos!

[@christinecamley]

Love this! I would have to dial back the cayenne pepper! Lol! Love the concept of this video!! Very entertaining! Terrific video!! 🙂

[@JessicaC-x4v]

Anders, I love the tiktok reactions and fall concoctions! You should do more like this. :)

[@jasonjames-eyers6207]

“It’s still in my mouth” 😂😂 Great video, so much fun to watch your reactions!

[@ExecutorCR]

I like your channel as it is right now Anders.

[@greaterfae7591]

My guess as to what might have been the orange liquid added in the first one is pumpkin juice. It would be that color and also would thematically make sense for the cocktail. Not sure how that would taste in the long run though.

[@jprunsfunny]

I think for both the pom cocktails, simple syrup is needed (or used).

[@bludelight]

Oh, Anders. These never fail to entertain.

[@Cale_E]

Great new format! Super funny thanks for trying some of these so I don’t have to 😂 Shamefully, I’m going to admit though… in the occasions I have rumchata available, I add a little bit to my A&W. Probably only half a shot though, more than that would certainly coat the mouth like you experienced.

[@AndersErickson]

The Fireball overpowered the RumChata for me. I'd probably prefer your concoction - can easily see it being a crowd-pleaser!

[@stephaneRenaut]

That juicer you use for the grapefruit looks great :)

[@jonathanpease115]

I loved your reactions every time you tasted them 🤣🤣🤣 so thankful for your quality content here on YT compared to TikTok videos.

[@pacificwhim]

I laughed at the Goldschlager comment. Anders, if I ever have the privilege of buying you a drink, remind me to regale you with the tale of the Catalina Island cruise, the drunk sunglasses driver, two bottles of Goldschlager, my legendary pal Anton, and the car that we couldn't find for two days.

[@jmhadahorse]

14:25 Those free pours she did looked like equal parts, so 2-2.25 tequila, 2-2.25 Cointreau, 2-2.25 mixed lemon and lime. That's probably why yours came out less balanced, a lack of liqueur.

[@christopherharris2686]

I drink Rumchata and rootbeer a good bit. Not much booze, so it's nice on a warm day, and you can just drink it all day long.

[@judithmorse6829]

Are we going to further balance that pumpkin margarita? Some of us have holiday work parties we’re trying to survive?

[@david82633]

Make youtube-shorts with a link to the full video, that way you get the best of both worlds

[@bartkornacki3590]

One of the more modern-ish but complex cocktail I've tried recently and loved was Pasimayaga based on Ceylon Arrack. Perhaps worth giving a shot here😊

[@MrQuispx]

Nice to see how Anders attacks each with foresight and it’s a revelation to hear his analysis….a glimpse into his process.
