I can't believe how early they've got Halloween decorations for sale in my area, that going on by you?! Stock up for fall at Curiada - bit.ly/drinksthatgoboo We have a Podcast!

They haven't even finished cleaning up the back-to-school seasonal areas yet and all of the Halloween decorations are out. I am waiting for Halloween decorations to overrun 4th of July. In fact I started seeing Halloween candy bags in stores at the end of July in some place. Just wait till the beginning of October, Last year I saw Christmas decorations available in October. Not even made it to Halloween and there wasn't any Halloween decorations available, it was all Christmas.
I saw it in July and I'm pissed. I don't need any more reminders that winter is coming. Winter just ended. Autumn is the jack o lantern shaped light on the anglerfish of winter.
Yay! I love that we’ve all collectively decided to treat ourselves to autumn early this year. It’s my favorite season and I love that everyone’s into it already!
Shannon Airport, on the west side of Ireland, is the home of Irish Coffee. Dublin has Guinness, but Shannon created the ambrosia that is Irish Coffee (: Made properly it is a thing of beauty, with all four food groups: Alcohol, Caffeine, Sugar, and Cream.
The hardest part of apple pie is the crust. You can always skip that and make an apple crumble. Personally, I prefer a crumble that doesn't have oats in it. Or you can skip that, too, and just make stewed apples. All are great with ice-cream.
Or you just core the apples, add some brown sugar, cinnamon and butter to the middle void, bake them off. Get some vanilla ice cream and you're good to go!
I just made my first Irish coffee based off your tutorial here. Even though the heavy cream blended into the coffee when I tried to float it, it still turned out delicious, and it’s one of my new favorite drinks. Just goes to show that imperfect first tries can still turn out great, and there’s no need to get discouraged by not getting it exactly right the first time. 👍☕️🍷
I feel like all the holidays were getting more commercial and slowly moving forward through the years, but I definitely think that since the pandemic we are all more excited to celebrate and take more care in decorating our spaces. Quarantine escalated an already present trend. SO ready for spooky season and cooler weather! 🎃🦇🌙🌠
Pumpkin spice is delicious and deserves to be a staple all year, also cant believe I've arrived this early for a video, don't know what else to say but love your content and your videos never fail to brighten my day. Thanks Greg!
Summer blows if you’re not a kid so I approve this video. I’m putting up my Halloween lights right now and already have my indoor fall decor up. Bring on Spooky/Spoopy season and the cold weather!
Hey Greg! I recently went down to New Orleans and had what is apparently a pretty famous drink there, the Hand Grenade. It's noxiously sweet and it's gimmick is being 'the strongest drink' around. Would love to see you get one and do an improved version!
I make spice infused applejack with cinnamon, star anise, clove, and nutmeg. Then add a shot or two of that applejack to a pitcher with a 50/50 mix of good ginger beer and hard cider. I call it Autumn Wind punch, and it's really nice to sip, not too strong.
you should try the hot apple pie. It's a desert drink made with liquor 43, Hot apple cider, cinnamon and whipped cream. Now if you use an apple punch this whole ordeal gets elevated by a lot
One of my managers was the woman who created the PSL. The beverage was created as a "pumpkin pie spice" beverage, based on the flavors from the McCormick spice, and wasn't intended to have pumpkin in it. It's always been weird to me how people insist that pumpkin spice flavored things include pumpkin itself.
Oh thank goodness someone else brought it up. Please, people, stop putting pumpkin in pumpkin spice items, the latter does not contain the former it is for flavoring the former.
I'm really glad you uploaded today because Anders Erickson is not putting out a video today. With your video, though, I can still get my cocktail video fix!
fun fact: my most famous cocktail was designed as a Halloween Rum Punch... that I perfected while listening to Coheed & Cambria. Blood Orange Summer: -1 oz. Black Spiced Rum -2 oz. Malibu -1/2 cup grapefruit juice -1/2 cup Monster Pipeline Punch -Angostura or orange bitters to taste (up to 5 drops for best results) My Hot Toddy (closest to Scottish Alchemist "Hot Toddy" inspired directly by the fabled "Elixir of Life" btw): -1 oz. lemon juice -2 oz. Dram/Honey Whiskey -1 tsp. Raw Honey -boiling water to fill (the only complaint is that you overcomplicate it)
Greg is the kind of guy i hopefully find one day , he’s the real deal, talented , great personality , and easy on the eyes as well. I love HTD, I’m so glad Mike MGTV brought me to this channel
I'm making my first ever hot toddy/whiskey skin tonight, so I was actually searching for Greg's earlier videos on the subject when this appeared. :) EDIT: Holy shit. That's incredible.
So, I recently went to England, and I'm glad that I was able to visit a very fun and interesting place called The Wizard's Exploratorium for one of their "Potions Class" sessions. One of the potions that I made there had you put vermouth and elder nectar into the lower chamber of a glass coffee percolator (using a funnel, of course), with orange peel, cloves, a cinnamon stick, a sprig of thyme, and a sachet of paprika in the upper chamber of it. You would heat it until most of the liquid was in the top before turning it off and letting the infused ingredients settle back down into the lower chamber. You'd then remove the top part once more and use the funnel to add rum and lemon to the lower chamber, giving it 30-40 seconds of heat before serving it up. It was honestly a lot of fun, and I think that it would be pretty cool for Greg to do some kind of interview with the people behind the place. It sounds like they keep changing up what drinks they have at any given time. Also, on that same trip, I discovered that Cornwall seems to have a pretty prominent local distilling scene there. I got a few little sample-bottles of different gins from Cornwall, and I was quite pleased with them, on the whole. It's just a pity that none of them are available on Curiada XD
This will mark the second Halloween I've had post T1D diagnosis and it's always fun too see how much of life hasn't been effected. Thank you for the content as always. I love me an Irish coffee and hot toddy. I learned how to make both drinks from this channel.
Absolutely love the Reanimator one. Sounds fruity and bright, but the earthy undertone from the matcha sort of brings in that dark layer of death. Fitting to the film.
I have a cocktail that I hope you’ll love! I call it a Xibalba Sour after the Aztec god of the underworld: 1/2 oz simple syrup 3/4oz aqua faba/1 egg white 1oz fresh lemon juice 1-1/2 oz black peppercorn vodka 2 dashes Fee Bros. Aztec Chocolate Bitters Dry shake, serve on the rocks. Cheers! Happy spoopy times.😊
Can't wait to try some of these! Personally one of my favourite drinks for fall is a nice smoked Old Fashioned made with Woodford Reserve. Warms you right up on a cool evening
In case you still have apples or feel like experimenting, here's my grandmother's apple pie recipe, a family favorite for decades 🍎❤️ #1 - Mix these ingredients; press into pie pan for the crust 1 1/2 c flour 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tblsp milk 1/2 c vegetable oil #2 - Mix these ingredients and pour into the pie crust 1/4 c flour 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 c sour cream 4 granny smith apples, peeled and cut into thin slices (this takes forever, preheat the oven after the apples are ready. You can put them into a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice so they don't turn brown while you peel and core the other apples) #3 - Mix these ingredients and sprinkle on top 3/4 c granola 1/3 c brown sugar 1/4 c melted butter 1/3 c flour 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg #4 - Bake at 375* 40 minutes
I definitely have to try these! I typically just go with black sambuca + orange juice. It's a fun black and orange drink (before you stir, so float that booze y'all), and very Spoopy. Happy Halloween season!
When I was a kid September was such a boring month. The only thing happening was back to school stuff. I’m all in favor of offering up this month to the Spooky season. Halloween is such a fun time of the year.
The new set looks great! Compilation videos like this are great for helping folks find a bunch of options related to a particular theme, so I had a thought for a related one for you: drinks for a party (Halloween, Christmas, whatever strikes your fancy), maybe something that uses some/most of the same ingredients to make something for adults and their kids, or that uses ingredients that one might also use to prepare dinner? In any case, thanks for the awesome content - it's a hoot even though I don't drink.
Hey, if you need more ideas for fall/Halloween drinks, could always expand on the candy theme from Peppermint Patty--some Reeses Cup peanut butter and chocolate, Sour Patch Kids sour sweet evolution, Twizzlers strawberry, maybe get weird with something licorice or spicy, or go full cozy with caramel/candy apple...
I've always used Tullamore for Irish coffee, simply because it's the traditional choice - but ever since I tried using other whiskies, I realised it really isn't a great choice (to me, at least). It's just not a good tasting whiskey to me, so it makes no sense that mixing it with coffee should somehow make it better. You can bury the taste of it with coffee, sure - but if I can't taste it, why even add it? I recently had one with Jameson Black Barrel. Not a whisky I'd normally drink neat, but for some reason it worked quite well in an Irish coffee. I've also tried with Monkey Shoulder, which turned out to be great.
I remember seeing the Tar Man when I was a very young child (one of my sisters was either watching a rented VHS or it came on network television or something) and it has haunted my nightmares for almost 4 decades now.
I feel the food court and bakery items are a must! I love Costco! When I was little my grandparents would take us and the samples were my favorite part
Warmed apple cider + Caramel Vodka stirred with cinnamon stick, glass rimmed with brown sugar. *chef's kiss* nope i don't have measurements cause i tend to wing it on my mood.
Irish Coffee was invented at O'Regan's Bar at the Foyne airport near Shannon, Ireland. Foyne was a seaplane airport where the Trans-Atlantic Pan American and BOAC clippers would come in.
In past years I've seen people complain about how early some people decorate for fall/halloween, but this year I haven't really seen any complaints. I think we're all trying to manifest some cooler weather by decorating early lol. That pumpkin spice cocktail seems great though, I might need to try that :o
The sanderson sister slammer sounds good, but I'd love a flight of some sorts inspired by the sanderson sisters/hocas pocas, because like... _flight_ like flying broomsticks/vacumes, and there's 3 sisters so you can play around with different flavor profiles and how they work together. If you want the flight to me more than 3, you can add bOOOOOOOoook or the Black Candle as inspos for more of a flavor profile.
This autumn, I plan on not only making a batch of rum fat washed in browned butter from your episode on Hot Buttered Rum, but also doing an autumnal twist on the second recipe that calls for it by substituting the sugar and hot water with hot apple cider instead.
I think you are overlooking some great US hard cider in the video. For example Left Foot Charley in Traverse City MI, Tandem Ciders in Suttons Bay MI, and Farmhouse Ciders in Hudsonville MI. I know there is also great hard cider in the Northeast and in Washington State. It'd be really cool if you came up with some hard cider cocktails with an American cidery. For what it's worth Quebec also has some very interesting cider, though it's a much different beverage from what I prefer.
Greg, apple pie, while really nice is way more trouble than it's worth if you are making it for yourself, especially if you are using up an over abundance of apples. You can't scale it since there's a liit on pie plate size and pie crust is a pain in the butt. Do yourself a favor and make apple crumble and or apple cake instead both of which can be just as satisfying as the pie for a lot less headache and apple crumble in particular scales well. Also, if you reeeeeally got a lot of apples to get off your hands, try apple butter! It cooks for a long time but you can do it in your crock pot so it's mostly hands off and the results are luscious and can be used to make other things apple pie esque!
I have waited for years now to try a dirty wastelander, and I think that will be emblematic for seasonal drinks too. I finally am old enough to make it but these sound probably just as good
A trick I learned from an Irish bartender: put the spring of a Hawthorne strainer into your shaker tin with your cream-gets to perfect Irish-coffee consistency in no time.
Similar to the Stone Fence, my favorite drink is Dry Hard Cider with a shot of Laphroaig 10 year dropped in it. Tastes like you're sitting around a bonfire drinking Apple Cider.
Okay, these are great and i will definitely be trying a few. However, not until i get back from vacating. I refuse to drink any autumn drinks (octoberfest and pumpkin beer included) until we return from summer's end vacation. Great stuff! If i steal some for my show, I'll give you proper credit. 😊
Hotty Toddy's I still associate with "medicine" as I was always given some by my grandma and granny both when I had colds/flus. (Granted as a child it was made with hot tea rather than whiskey, though as a teen my Granny started giving it to me whiskey style...and now I'm beginning to understand why I like whiskey so much) 😂
Having recently been given half a bottle of bourbon, I have discovered that I do not like bourbon. I have made multiple drinks with it and it's ruined all of them. 😂 I much prefer Hot Toddys with an alcohol I actually like, rum.
I saw A Haunting in Venice at AMC theaters and they offered a drink called Venetian Seance and it was really good but they only told the main ingredients in it and I was wondering how I can make this at home? The two ingredients they listed were Knob Creek and Disaronno and the drink was only offered at select MacGuffins Bar locations.
I can't believe how early they've got Halloween decorations for sale in my area, that going on by you?!

@@claywilliams6480How exactly?
@@claywilliams6480 In our hearts? Yeah definitely. But the equinox isn’t until the 23rd

It is meteorological fall now! Which is much more relevant to reality than astrological fall

Or apple crisp -- my personal favorite.
We just make apple pie out of alcohol and remove the whole baking hassle.
Is pie crust hard?
Or you just core the apples, add some brown sugar, cinnamon and butter to the middle void, bake them off. Get some vanilla ice cream and you're good to go!
lmao you and i had the same thought
Greg's fall and wintertime content has always been my favorite vibe! Excited for even more
Dude, respectfully his Jersey shore episodes are remarkable. I revisit the oleo Saccharine follow along often. Best ever

Tuning in from Scotland... "summer" was a Tuesday in May this year, been over for some time now.
But what a Tuesday it was lad. Will be telling the grandweans about that one 😂
My favorite autumn drink is
1 cup hot apple cider

And optionally 1 shot of apple whisky

Is the pumpkin spice syrup shelf stable? If not how long will it last?
In some parts of the world (including mine) autumn actually strats on the 1st of September, so you're right on time.
This is perfect timing! Give us the recipes and enough lead time to buy the ingredients so we can make them by october!
Can't wait to try some of these! Personally one of my favourite drinks for fall is a nice smoked Old Fashioned made with Woodford Reserve. Warms you right up on a cool evening
In case you still have apples or feel like experimenting, here's my grandmother's apple pie recipe, a family favorite for decades 🍎❤️
#1 - Mix these ingredients; press into pie pan for the crust
1 1/2 c flour
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tblsp milk
1/2 c vegetable oil
#2 - Mix these ingredients and pour into the pie crust
1/4 c flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c sour cream
4 granny smith apples, peeled and cut into thin slices (this takes forever, preheat the oven after the apples are ready. You can put them into a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice so they don't turn brown while you peel and core the other apples)
#3 - Mix these ingredients and sprinkle on top
3/4 c granola
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 c melted butter
1/3 c flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
#4 - Bake at 375* 40 minutes
I definitely have to try these! I typically just go with black sambuca + orange juice. It's a fun black and orange drink (before you stir, so float that booze y'all), and very Spoopy. Happy Halloween season!
I take apple cider, caramel vodka, and some moscato for bubbles and made a Caramel Apple drink. It's good!
No hate at all for the coffee thermos. Good in my book 👍
Re Animator is a classic! Love it 😁
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Hey Greg. I watched Return of the Living Dead for the first time after your Midnight Local podcast. I loved it! The podcast rocks.
i love when the temperature drops. slowly but surely it is no longer heat death time
Irish Coffee was invented at O'Regan's Bar at the Foyne airport near Shannon, Ireland. Foyne was a seaplane airport where the Trans-Atlantic Pan American and BOAC clippers would come in.

I have waited for years now to try a dirty wastelander, and I think that will be emblematic for seasonal drinks too. I finally am old enough to make it but these sound probably just as good
This year they released pumpkin spied latte on August 14th.😊
The second Hocus Pocus is pretty good. I watched it with my family and we all liked it. Was better than any of us, thought it was going to be.
My comfort UA-camr
Reanimator for the win. Herbert West actor Jeffrey Coombs is amazing.
Halloween decorations? In August? Next thing you know we'll be seeing Christmas decorations in Octobe-OH WAIT.
Greg: SUmmer is over!
Texas weather: Lol, nah. I got six weeks left. Let me cook
Midori's got a lockdown on Halloween drinks
What'd be a good swap for the gin in the youth potion? Love the look of it and it sounds delicious but my girlfriend is allergic to juniper
you could try botanical flavored vodkas, a couple brands make them. idk if they have juniper but they should have more depth than a regular vodka
The Stone Fence is basically an American Johnny Jump Up (2oz Jameson filled with a dry cider). Super simple and super effective...
I really want to try the Tar Man drink. That looks great
Omg i loce the Perks-a-Cola, Sunset Sarsparilla, and Nectar (hades) on the shelve
A trick I learned from an Irish bartender: put the spring of a Hawthorne strainer into your shaker tin with your cream-gets to perfect Irish-coffee consistency in no time.
Similar to the Stone Fence, my favorite drink is Dry Hard Cider with a shot of Laphroaig 10 year dropped in it. Tastes like you're sitting around a bonfire drinking Apple Cider.
Reanimator is absolutely awesome
Thanks for mentioning The Return of the Living Dead. I re-watched it tonight, probably been 15 years or more since I'd seen it. Such a great movie..
Okay, these are great and i will definitely be trying a few. However, not until i get back from vacating. I refuse to drink any autumn drinks (octoberfest and pumpkin beer included) until we return from summer's end vacation. Great stuff! If i steal some for my show, I'll give you proper credit. 😊
Hotty Toddy's I still associate with "medicine" as I was always given some by my grandma and granny both when I had colds/flus. (Granted as a child it was made with hot tea rather than whiskey, though as a teen my Granny started giving it to me whiskey style...and now I'm beginning to understand why I like whiskey so much) 😂
I loved the sequel. I thought it was a pretty good continuation.
Having recently been given half a bottle of bourbon, I have discovered that I do not like bourbon. I have made multiple drinks with it and it's ruined all of them. 😂 I much prefer Hot Toddys with an alcohol I actually like, rum.
I had something similar to a peppermint patty at a place called Sitwell’s Act II in Cincinnati! Only difference was no crème de menthe
I saw A Haunting in Venice at AMC theaters and they offered a drink called Venetian Seance and it was really good but they only told the main ingredients in it and I was wondering how I can make this at home? The two ingredients they listed were Knob Creek and Disaronno and the drink was only offered at select MacGuffins Bar locations.
