Interestingly, his thoughts went "Sex on the beach + Death in the Afternoon", which is why he went with the absinthe; he was combining two drinks since their names were mixed for the drink, rather than going literal (he responded to me saying that I thought to replace the vodka with Fireball instead, though "Sunburn on the Beach" might be a better name for that, hah).

[@HailKosm]

I think an interesting take on a whisky salty is to incorporate like soy sauce or pickle juice. Some sort of salty or savory element. Either that or make a flavored saline solution, using like smoked salts or pine fir salt. Using straight salt is just gonna be understandably unpleasant.

[@Lasciatemi_Guidare]

Just a highball version of a pickleback. I’d drink that.

[@MuriKakari]

I like the hilarious idea of him going back and fixing these names.

[@parkerdeans8313]

This is actually the first video of yours that was recommended on my feed and I'm glad You're hilarious man! Love the content 🤙 If I were to ruin a drink, Id have to go with a "Mold Fashioned"

[@jonmoldenhauer347]

I actually wonder if you dropped the sour from the whiskey salty, cut back on the saline solution, and swapped for a demmarra or brown sugar syrup. Or even did a whiskey sour with the demmarra or brown sugar syrup with a salted rim. Especially with a whiskey with caramel notes.

[@kingofhearts3185]

Don't tempt us to try something stupid, that might actually work.

[@Finwolven]

Personally, I think if he swapped the ratios of lemon juice and saline solution, it might be at least closer to drinkable. When I saw the .75 ounce saline pour I winced physically. Though seeing Greg do his 'Salty' face was certainly worth it. Then again, 'Whiskey salty' where the 'salt' is ammonium chloride, aka salmiakki, might be an _interesting_ variation.

[@Sibula]

Yeah, maybe a kind of salted caramel vibe. It could be delicious.

[@DoveAlexa]

Redo time! I have faith in the salted caramel drink!

[@Hannah-kz9oj]

My mind immediately jumped to gose when he said whiskey salty, go harder on the lemon, use some kind of coriander syrup. The maximum amount of salt used in a gose is generally 250ppm of sodium so this is just insane.

[@ferric6796]

Hey, something to consider for the Whiskey Salty if it ever comes up again (or if you ever need/want to mess around with salty flavors in a cocktail again. Salted Caramel perhaps?) there is a liqueur from scandinavia/Finland called salmiakki. It's a licorice liqueur flavored with Ammonium Chloride, and apparently has a salty flavors, as well as being dry/tannin-y. I can't think of many other salty liqueurs, so maybe it's something to have in the liquor cabinet just in case you're feeling weird? I've never had it, but it can't possibly be worse than Campari or Malort.

[@ellalella1]

Licorice liqueur is not uncommon in Scandinavia, there is one made from a pepper and salty licorice candy, basically that candy put in a bottle of vodka to dissolve or an extract from them mixed with vodka. If you like salty peppery candy, which many of us do, it is really nice. I think a lot of other parts of the world would consider it cursed though.

[@awaredeshmukh3202]

Dang, I love Proper Licorice, or at least what you can get of it in the states. I kinda wanna try salmiakki now!

[@jonathanwilker6047]

I accidentally made 1:1 simple syrup with salt instead of sugar before... Wondered why it dissolved so slowly and then used it for a Gin Basil Smash. That was undrinkable lol

[@aaronmueller1560]

Holy shit that would be awful to figure out after using it in a drink

[@Overcrox]

Mmm, simple saline.

[@danieln6613]

Nice, sounds like dehydration in a glass

[@frogv2745]

​@aaronmueller1560 you could maybe use it in a beer/beer cocktail I know some people use salt to get beer to foam up briefly Alternatively something maybe awful but drinkable would be a poweradey sports drink gin fizz???? Mineral water, fruit juice and... salt syrup? Salt water? Is basically a sports drink and the gin egg and citrus would make it drinkable as an alcoholic beverage? Maybe?

(My dad makes these often. Mimosa with cheap beer) - Bloody Jerry (Its like a Bloody Mary but, minus all of the delicate charm of Mary, but instead… uh… Jerry!)

Bless you Greg, for the amount of sheer abuse you go through to deliver us side splitting laughs (and occasionally actually really great cocktails.)

[@Shiri1432]

I think that the best chance you could have given the whiskey salty was to use something like pickle juice instead of saline. that way it's still acidic and salty and surely someone would drink it, one of those freaks (affectionate) that likes pickle juice

I agree make a pickle brine simple syrup and proceed.

Fun video! Thankyou for entertaining us with your pain! Two thoughts: 1) While not a spin on a sour, the Whiskey Salty could be a dirty whiskey martini. No doubt olive juice and whiskey would be terrible (probably?), but since picklebacks are a thing, maybe sub the olive juice for a salty pickle brine? 2) I would gone to Brennivín for the Death on the Beach: "Black Death," the Icelandic angelica schnapps. Like nasty, nasty gin. Probably not an improvement, though.

Funny, I posted an idea with Dr. Pepper on the community post: a Pepper Plane, a Paper Plane lengthened with Dr. Pepper. I was taking some inspiration from how bad those "splash of Sprite" drinks ended up being, but I imagine you could actually make something decent with a Dr. Pepper syrup/reduction/taste profile.

What is Dr, pepper's flavor? I genuinely don't know.

[@PostNukeProductions]

@@DoveAlexa It's very complex. Officially it has 23 distinct flavors, but of those it tastes most like vanilla, root beer, cherry, and almond to me.

[@Overcrox]

This is a great idea. I'm also curious if there's anything interesting to be done with Dr. Pepper alternatives, like Pibb (or my personal favorite, doc, absolutely delicious stuff, like Dr. Pepper with more distance from cough syrup).

@@DoveAlexait’s based off prune juice but has a bunch of other flavors added

Cilantro Julep is actually one of the most hilarious things i've heard of

A “Last Curd”. Variation on a Last Word but somehow incorporating yogurt/cottage cheese? It sounds awful and I hope you see this!

[@KainYusanagi]

Rather than yogurt/cottage, grate some parm on top! XD

I missed this request, so maybe y'all can help me with the joke drink my friends and I have been trying to perfect: the Tom Cummings. I'm a huge fan of Tom Collins. One evening, while making myself one, a friend misspoke and called it a "Tom Cummings". Everyone got a laugh out of it, but then started debating what would make a Tom Collins become such a thing. The only thing we agreed on was that the final product should be white or semi-translucent white, so that it imitated the look of... well, y'know. Potentially, if it ended up getting thicker or slimier, that would be acceptable too. Some ideas people came up with were: 1. Mix something into the club soda to make it foggy, such as sugar or potentially cornstarch. 2. Modify the recipe so that it has an egg white, making it closer to a White Lady. 3. Use Calpico, either in place of the club soda or in place of the lemon juice/simple syrup. 4. Convert it to a pudding or Jello shot, just accepting that it is no longer obviously connected to the original Tom Collins. I've been experimenting with these options to create the ideal Tom Cummings, but I haven't quite found the flavor profile that satisfies me. It is my white whale. Help would be appreciated.

You could add white mica or flax seed gel if you're looking for slimy

[@FugoriHassei]

@@caspianm4745 Huh, I've never heard of flax seed gel, does it have a flavor? Slimy is fine with me, as long as it's white-ish and has most of the flavors of a Tom Collins.

I am similarly trying to make themes drinks around an awful French kids show

[@kristinnelson-patel442]

This inspired me to try to mix a new cocktail - hopefully good though. Here’s the “Fall Harvest”: 1.5oz rye, 0.5 oz Laird’s apple jack, 1 oz cloudy apple cider, 0.75oz lemon juice. 0.5oz homemade grenadine, 2 dashes Angostura. Shake with ice, strain over a large rock. I’m enjoying it, but am not sure it’s exactly balanced.
