Irish People Try History's Most Famous Alcohol

[@kinsalemeadco]

Thanks for trying our Kinsale Atlantic Dry Mead folks, it's a traditional honey only mead fermented off-dry and made with orange blossom honey, matured for two years so it's crisp and floral with citrus orange notes and not sweet, and also gluten free. You can drink it on its own in a glass, a mether or a drinking horn... or in a spritz as you suggest and great with all kinds of seafood. We've been making this for 7 years now in Kinsale which for all you folks not from Cork, is in West Cork !

[@ZenDoggie]

When I was in Cork, they told us they only drink Murphy's

[@PawpawCauseImCool]

The "clinking" of glasses originated in the medieval days when wine was often spiked with poison as the sediment concealed it quite well. If a host wanted to prove that the wine wasn't poisoned, he would pour part of the guest's wine into his glass and drink it first. If the guest trusted his host he would just clink glasses when the host offered his glass for a sample. Hence the clinking of glasses has become a sign of trust, honesty and toast to good health.

[@paulasweeney7358]

CallyAnn's getting pickled and is soooo happy about it. I just laughed with her.

[@jacklowe3429]

I loved Callyann's expression when Darren said "eggnog."

[@suzannahstan]

Callyann is just delightful

[@peggyliepmann5248]

Fun Fact about the West Point Eggnog Riot: Jefferson Davis, future president of the confederacy, was one of the students who gathered alcohol before the riot. But because he was too hammered to actually take part in the riot itself, he only got a slap on the wrist.

Here on Vancouver Island we have a great Meadery, just a little ways out of Victoria in Sooke. Tugwell Creek is its name. They have a variety of different meads to choose from. Very good drinks. We also have seven distilleries and a dozen breweries....for a city of 300 thousand that is pretty good...lol

If you're really going to clink your glasses together before drinking, you hold the glass by the stem, not the bowl, or you won't get that satisfying "Clink!" sound; you'll just get a dull thud.

[@Krow_Lenin]

The cheers and salute of clinking glasses started with enemies sharing a peaceful drink, but out of fear of being poisoned, the enthusiastic salute of drinks would splash each others drinks together, so if one would be poisoned all will be poisoned who share in the toast.

The Mesoamerican chocolate and red wine drink was fermented from dark (unsweetened) chocolate and the red grapes was added to diminish the 'bitterness' of the dark chocolate. It could b served hot or room temperature.

[@Naganopl]

As far I know grape wasn't known in Mesoamerica so do wine until Europeans arrives. It has to be something different or it's just a legend.

[@silverlobo2135]

@@Naganopl You are right. I forgot to add quotes around the word "grape". It was actually closer to a berry, but with the arrival of the Spaniards and conquest, it got called "grape" as it was the closest word to the traditional berry. so it got replaced by the grape. It is also possible that it was changed by Spanish slave owners as berries or vanilla may not have been sweet enough to balance out the bitterness of dark chocolate. It is also possible that it got change to hide teh more 'sacred' version of the original indigenous people's culture.

[@jackbagley640]

I think that the only thing that would be more fun than watching Callyann drink ... would be drinking with Callyann. So beautiful!

[@Zuklaak]

Washington was no stranger to alcohol: “The bar tab of a 1787 farewell party for George Washington was left intact and legible," a Jan. 19 Facebook post reads. "According to the bill, the Founding Fathers drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of Claret, 8 bottles of Whiskey, 22 bottles of Porter, 8 bottles of Hard Cider, 12 of Beer and seven bowls of Alcoholic Punch. There were only 55 attendees.”

[@scottkniss3760]

Fun fact for those who may not be aware, the tradition of a "honeymoon" after a wedding is thanks to mead. :) Long and short of it, the bride's father was expected to provide the happy couple with mead (fermented from honey) for roughly a month after the ceremony... which, back then, was often referred to as a "moon." (aka, the amount of time from one full moon to the next) Run them together and there you have it... the "honey moon." One of the many obscure facts my wife and I detailed in our wedding gift; a 28-page hand-bound leather book of both our story and the origins of many wedding traditions we still use to this day. Slainte...!

[@jessicastevens5782]

Eggnog is just drinking custard. Better when spiked. I mean, egg whites are one of the most commonly used fining agents for wine, then you have traditional sours, flips, fizzes...those are all raw.

They should have mixed the chocolate with mezcal, of pulche (undistilled agave wine) if they could get it.

[@ahanerhegamer18]

Love you guys, really hope y'all plan a trip to explore texas

[@JDoelker]

While there is a Mesoamerican Alcohol made from Cacao seeds, there is actually a recent discovery of an older one using the pulp of the fruit. The drink made with the seeds had additives usually, whereas the one made with pulp did not. I guess a possible example of the not so ancient one would be Dogfish Head Brewery's Theobroma. It contains additives such as chiles and uses cacao nibs and fermented chocolate. If Niall tried commercial eggnog like say Bordens it's not comparable to the actual eggnog. Watch out because now many companies use carrageenan to thicken it so they can make a more liquid version on the cheap. Don't let them put Irish Moss in your nog.

[@anamewhichisnottaken]

I may be wrong, but I think you’re supposed to drop the shot glass full of rum into the glass containing the beer/cider mixture and drink it that way. As always, entertaining video guys! ✌🏻

I remember learning that an early version of chocolate was in a hot drink with broth, maybe poultry, and dried peppers. My family swapped the broth for sugar but, to this day, we drink cocoa with cayenne. It's naked without it.

[@jasmirris]

Mexican Hot chocolate! It has cocoa, cayenne, cinnamon, sugar, and whatever you want as your liquid. I also put vanilla in it. If you want the premade powder or pucks DO NOT get Abuelita get Ibarra since it tastes more authentic. Though it is really easy to make it on your own. :)
