Well, my friends and I had this one drink we called Rapidash Piss. Basically, put some foul and spicy stuff and put it out in the Texas heat. I’m sure you can figure out how it got that name with that.
You've mentioned on the previous episode or two that you are of Jewish descent. While this would certainly Target a very small cross-section of your viewership, how about an episode on drinks inspired by Jewish holidays
I posted This In a Previous Video But: The Frosty Mary: A Blue Bloody Mary But Instead of Hot Sauce It Should Incorporate Menthol or Something Minty Somehow For Cooling. Blue Curacao For The Blue Obviously
The why bit is difficult. *THICK COCKTAILS* - Use Thick It, it's a dietary aid for people who can only ingest solids. Make a bunch of thick cocktails, see if you can make something good with it.
These are really funny but honestly, I love the ones where he creates unexpectedly good drinks a thousand times more. The pleasant surprises just make me wanna try to get into mixology.
@@AmethystEnd right? like, thats starting to be all he makes now. i honestly miss the proper mixology stuff. i mainly just go back and watch old videos from when that was the whole deal of the channel now.
@@kippie8200I get the feeling that there’s really only so much he can do and redo a drink. Experimenting with weird and probably terrible drinks is at least original content.
@@jerrykurinsky3891 If I remember correctly, both she and Greg moved at roughly the same times and it wasn't easy even to do remote. Hopefully they can bring her back regularly.
@gdp3rd why you say that like dice havent been around just as long if not longer than marbles , not to mention dice have been played with game wise far longer than marbles
Watching this made me realize that we a super cut of Greg describing wild drinks but completely out of context. Just a hard cut to “Could you imagine taking an entire spruce: trunk, roots, stem, bristles, pinecones… putting that in your mouth, and then exploding it with a bomb.” And then hard cut to the next one.
The Ellis Island Iced Tea, a majority of the immigrants who passed through Ellis Island were Irish, Italian, Jewish, Polish, or German. So, Whiskey, Grapa, Arak, Vodka, and Jaeger.
That’s amazingly bad, but also Greg please do this!!!! Also the Ellis Island suggestion from @Senthiuz. You could even do a [blank] Island Iced Tea episode to bring the spittoon back out :P
The next "The Customer Is Always Wrong" episode should feature a guest bartender so them and Greg can make their individual interpretations of the various orders and compare them to each other. I'd suggest someone, but I don't lurk enough to know anybody.
37:35 Though I haven't had a Dr Pepper Strawberry and Cream myself, I will say it's kinds hard to judge how good a drink actually is when you're drinking the Zero Sugar version. Like, honestly you'd think the whole point of a drink like this would be to be sweet and creamy tasting, so taking the sugar out of it just doesn't seem right. I just think it's unfair to the actual drink itself to judge it based on what the Zero Sugar version tastes like honestly.
I had to stop drinking because apparently my GI tract is full of ulcers, and it's videos like this that help make it easier. I'm vicariously making bad decisions through you, Greg. You may be saving lives out here, using nothing but ethanol, a camera, and a DrinkMate.
I clicked on this not knowing it was a compilation video and for the first 25 minutes I thought I was slowly going mad noticing the set changing and the theme constantly shifting. I hope that in this way, I have shared in just a little bit of the misery Greg was going through drinking this stuff.
For what it’s worth, carbonated milk goes extremely well with certain mixes. I personally LOVE carbonated milk with Melon or Peach flavors. It’s INCREDIBLY smooth 💪
I was a cleaning lady at a resort for several years and sometimes guests would take a last minute pee before leaving and forget to flush, and sometimes we would wait to clean the cabin and the urine would mold. That is exactly what the mold fashioned looks like😂. Moldy urine in a resort toilet
HTD Clip Shows gotta be some of my favorite episodes and I really think it plays to the strengths of the show's deep catalogue! Do I only say that because of the Simpsons? Probably! Does that make it wrong? I don't think so lol
I'm from the Chicagoland area. I kinda hate the bad name Malort has gotten due to the fact that it's a practical joke shot. I've found that, when used the way you would use any bitter liqueurs, it's a legitimate weapon in your cocktail arsenal.
I really do like the year in review style content especially when it's all about comparison. Everyone loves to see your work especially when trying to make conscious decisions about 'what to drink'.
I actually tried a Zero Sugar Dr. Pepper recently. Honestly, I didn’t hate it. And I’m by no means a huge Dr. Pepper fan. If other sodas are available Dr. Pepper is way down the list. Anyway, it tasted like watered down regular DP, but there was no shitty aftertaste. In my book that’s a win!
Ages ago I heard someone order Whiskey and mint syrup. I don’t drink so I have no clue how it would taste, but the barman didn’t look particularly pleased or impressed 😆😆😆😆
A few weeks ago, I had a cocktail at a nice lil jazz lounge that used bourbon infused with earl grey tea. The drink was so good, I bought tea bags and a bottle to make it myself. The infused liquor was great, but my version of the cocktail wasn’t nearly as satisfying. What would you do with Earl Grey-infused bourbon to make a summer drink that still highlights the flavor?
@@sharp5flat9 You really should! And it’s got me thinking about what other teas I’d infuse with what other liquors, gin seems like a promising candidate for this type of experiment
For the mold fashioned, you could've alternatively done mushroom broth or mushroom infusion and made syrup out of it. OR you could've infused your whiskey with a flavorful dried mushroom.
Man i want a full episode about making Jeppson's Malört into good cocktails, including the easy way out if it exists which i presume to be masking it with something else somehow Also maybe soy sauce
*Greg singing* skip forward... skip forward... skip forward... Ahha! *tasting notes* Carbonated Old Fashioned? Could be good, but probably needs A LOT more simple... I mean, Whiskey and Coke is a thing.
Hey I have a question, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and am now able to actually start making some drinks! I was looking at your simple syrup/grenadine recipes and saw they used “Parts” instead of another measurement. Is “Parts” by weight or volume or cups or what is parts? I love your content, I look forward to making health potions first!
Parts isn't really a measurement but more of a ratio so it can be any measurement for example let's say a recipe is 1 part sugar to 1 part water it just means equal amounts so it could be 1 cup to 1 cup or like 1 quart to 1 quart. Parts is generally used for recipes where you may want to make very large batches or just a small batch so instead of having to multiply or divide you just fill in one and go from there
At 51:19 :That sounded like Paul Bearer starting a promo for the Undertaker. Which is probably appropriate. I think Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer) was from Georgia too so the peanut butter works for that too.
The red espresso martini absolutely has the vibe of a Swedish university student chapter bar drink. I’m pretty sure the Industrial engineers at my university has a very similar one that’s even got a crushed up caffeine pill on the rim of the glass.
I don't know if whether or not you have watched the Anime Series called "Bartender: the Glass of God". If not, check it out. There could be some drink/cocktails that you may or may not have heard of, or maybe want to try because its either been awhile or never tried at all. Its actually pretty good and clean. Otherwise, love your reaction when it comes to cursed drinks. Enjoy!!
You know, seeing the Beet Juice Mimosa gave me an idea for another equally cursed drink: Cranberry Juice (NOT the Cocktail mix that Cran-Spray serves, we're talking the OG Cranberry Juice that is *bitter* as heck) Mimosa. I could only imagine how bitter putting something that could put bitters to shame mixed with a Champaigne known for being a dry drink would be, with no simple to balance it out. Mind you, if you did put in simple, it'd basically be the cranberry cocktail mix mimosa which might genuinely be a potable beverage.
Whoever came up with that fireball Bloody Mary is a danger to society. I despise Bloody Marys as it is. And then you're gonna put cinnamon in it? Fawk that

These are really funny but honestly, I love the ones where he creates unexpectedly good drinks a thousand times more. The pleasant surprises just make me wanna try to get into mixology.
I agree, but unfortunately the metrics are showing Greg that the videos where he suffers get more views. I really feel for the dude.
@@AmethystEnd right? like, thats starting to be all he makes now. i honestly miss the proper mixology stuff. i mainly just go back and watch old videos from when that was the whole deal of the channel now.

“My drink just threw up in my mouth” is something I never want to experience.
I guess avoid that one then
What a great way to start my final week at a bad job! Greg torturing himself and Meredith is back on the show!
I forgot just how much I missed Meredith's contributions until they were back in.
@@scaper8where has she been??
@@jerrykurinsky3891 If I remember correctly, both she and Greg moved at roughly the same times and it wasn't easy even to do remote. Hopefully they can bring her back regularly.
she not back. these are from last year, a montage. Shes off because she had a kid
Congratulations! I left my bad job a few months ago so I feel your joy. May your next job be amazing!
The fact that Greg called Crown Royal bags "dice bags" too makes me feel right at home
You youngsters! Everyone knows Crown Royal bags are "marble bags"!
My grandmother and aunts used them for scrabble letter bags
@gdp3rd why you say that like dice havent been around just as long if not longer than marbles , not to mention dice have been played with game wise far longer than marbles
@@hoopla5502, prior to table-top gaming like D&D most people only needed 2 dice for the games they played - no need for a “dice bag.”
@@gdp3rd dice are ancient, meanwhile marbles are old. You are possibly the later maybe the former.
Me: I've seen all of these (most of them?)
Also me: I'm going to watch Greg suffer again because I can.
Watching this made me realize that we a super cut of Greg describing wild drinks but completely out of context.
Just a hard cut to “Could you imagine taking an entire spruce: trunk, roots, stem, bristles, pinecones… putting that in your mouth, and then exploding it with a bomb.” And then hard cut to the next one.
I second this motion.
PLEASE stop hurting my close personal friend that I've never actually met Greg Howtodrink.
Puke-A-Cola’s: changing one ingredient in the original 4 perk a cola recipes to something “worse” or just different in general
Or making the perk-a-colas based on the cursed flavor dialogue from drinking them in game.
If we're changing a word in the name of each soda that will alter the ingredient i dont want to think about double tap
it might be interesting to see a bunch of drinks he thought would be awful but turned out good.
New idea... heating up cocktails that you wouldn't normally serve hot.
Kinmen Island Ice Tea: Substitute Kaoliang for the vodka. Substitute a dash of soy sauce for the Coca Cola.
The Ellis Island Iced Tea, a majority of the immigrants who passed through Ellis Island were Irish, Italian, Jewish, Polish, or German. So, Whiskey, Grapa, Arak, Vodka, and Jaeger.
That’s amazingly bad, but also Greg please do this!!!! Also the Ellis Island suggestion from @Senthiuz. You could even do a [blank] Island Iced Tea episode to bring the spittoon back out :P

Nearly an hour of Greg turning into Mr. Hyde as depicted by Loony Tunes.
That might be a new and interesting video, "Dr. Jekyll's Formula."
As one of the mold fashion commenters, that’s a lovely color there 😂 glad the taste lived up to it
14:20 I love that Jersey accent. Arange. Can't help but repeat it when he says Orange. He says it soooooo much lol
it's not that i want you to suffer, but bad drinks always make you spew the most poetic of descriptions. a true painter with words.
That "Come all ye faithful" joke has to be one of my fave Greg jokes from last year. 😂 I'm easily amused
I’ve already watched all of these episodes and yet I’m 100% here for this clips show!
37:35 Though I haven't had a Dr Pepper Strawberry and Cream myself, I will say it's kinds hard to judge how good a drink actually is when you're drinking the Zero Sugar version.

I kinda miss the back and forth with Meridith
Did she leave the show?
@@BloodMoonGo She had a baby iirc and took some time off. Dunno if it was permanent.
I Hope she comes back, I enjoy the back and forth banter!
Me too, I hope she comes back.
Shes in this episode guys lol
I had to stop drinking because apparently my GI tract is full of ulcers, and it's videos like this that help make it easier. I'm vicariously making bad decisions through you, Greg. You may be saving lives out here, using nothing but ethanol, a camera, and a DrinkMate.
I love an hour long recap of me making good decisions, as I don't do any of this. Thanks for the life affirmations!
"It's not for me, but I won't kink shame."
Was the peak tasting note
I like this sort of callback supercut! Good content, especially when filming and editing new stuff.
Golden shower with a piece of asparagus would make that extremely funny.
"WoOBLEEEAGHWHOAforgotthatwasgonnainthere--" yep, still brings me to tears, sorry
I want 3 Bloody Marys and ahhh...a what? So, a "Step-dad Christmas?" And 3 bloody Marys.
So Clamato juice
"At least there's alcohol in this..." - Greg
I clicked on this not knowing it was a compilation video and for the first 25 minutes I thought I was slowly going mad noticing the set changing and the theme constantly shifting. I hope that in this way, I have shared in just a little bit of the misery Greg was going through drinking this stuff.
Shrimple syrup

The Mold Fashioned is taking all of us on a journey to hell just watching it…🤮
Today in How To Drink, "The How Not To Drink Special"
The Apperation, an Aviation but sub gin for Aperol
made one of these on accident once, was pretty good
Aperration, just a letter off from aberration.
I’m only halfway through the episode and I have to thank you for risking your soul for our enjoyment. XD
the fact that the Elvistini turned Greg into WWE Hall of Fame manager Paul Bearer makes me wanna try it out of morbid curiosity.
Was not expecting the "smell of--a--hot glue gun" in the description of the Dr. Pepper! Spit my coffee back in my cup! 😂
Welcome back Meredith!
Almost an hour of content?! YES PLEASE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Old content 😢
Happy to see you back Meredith. Greg needed someone to share his pain.
She’s nto back. Best of clip.
I remember most of these. But just had a much more pleasant idea of exchanging the mold fashioned with a mulled fashioned.
YAY! Welcome back Meredith’s Voice!!
I’d love to see an episode where the descriptions of past drinks are given and Greg needs to figure out what it is
i love it when greg uses locations to describe taste is the funniest shit to me
I was a cleaning lady at a resort for several years and sometimes guests would take a last minute pee before leaving and forget to flush, and sometimes we would wait to clean the cabin and the urine would mold. That is exactly what the mold fashioned looks like😂. Moldy urine in a resort toilet
I'm always fascinated too though by the times you make a horrible drink that turns out to actually be good. I'd love to see a compilation of those
I love the cinnamon broom!! Look forward to it every year. 🥰
This was a great episode and I really needed the laughs. Thanks for what you do, friend.
HTD Clip Shows gotta be some of my favorite episodes and I really think it plays to the strengths of the show's deep catalogue!
Do I only say that because of the Simpsons? Probably! Does that make it wrong? I don't think so lol
I love how we start of with "GREG'S INSTANT SPOILED MILK!"
I'm from the Chicagoland area. I kinda hate the bad name Malort has gotten due to the fact that it's a practical joke shot. I've found that, when used the way you would use any bitter liqueurs, it's a legitimate weapon in your cocktail arsenal.
It's never a dull moment when we get to see you create some combination of spirits that probably need an exorcism to be dealt with.
A "WOAHHH" of worcestershire sauce is so real man
I really do like the year in review style content especially when it's all about comparison. Everyone loves to see your work especially when trying to make conscious decisions about 'what to drink'.
I love when you make something delicious and I've been against the "bad drink" videos, but I gotta give'em that this is really funny.
This was a fine way to spend my coffee making and breakfast time this morning.

Greg dear thanks for going through this for us 😊
1:17 - So you created something with the consistency of a Death Note Shinigami apple!
For the whiskey salty, maybe salmon caviar blended instead of saline solution.
I laughed so hard during that milk episode and laughed just as hard here
Ages ago I heard someone order Whiskey and mint syrup. I don’t drink so I have no clue how it would taste, but the barman didn’t look particularly pleased or impressed 😆😆😆😆
Love your shows, Greg! I still miss Meredith, you guys have great banter, I hope she can come back soon! ^^
This made my day after finishing a 4-hour long physics final
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think if they should
I’d appreciate drink recipes I’d actually use at some point I still make that ecto cooler but haven’t seen a casual nice drink in a while.
Greg have and always will love your videos, thanks for thr great work!
plot twist: it's 51 minutes of Greg repeatedly making dirty martinis.
At least the Golden Shower actually tasted like piss.
Cinnamon piss, but still piss.
I'm almost tempted to try the Red Bull Negroni. To gauge the level of awfulness first hand.
A few weeks ago, I had a cocktail at a nice lil jazz lounge that used bourbon infused with earl grey tea. The drink was so good, I bought tea bags and a bottle to make it myself.

if it can't it's not alcoholic enough.

Joke's on you, Gregster - we all live for the schädenfreude derived from watching you inflict suffering on yourself. Cuz it's funny. :D
The noise Greg makes at the carbonated Martini makes it seem like a bong-rip so earthly its scraping bedrock.
25:54 when you make a drink so bad, that it turns the one who drinks it into a Murlock
At 51:19 :That sounded like Paul Bearer starting a promo for the Undertaker. Which is probably appropriate. I think Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer) was from Georgia too so the peanut butter works for that too.
around 41:00 what if you made a cocktail with gatoraid/poweraid? would that help lessen your hangover? ya know electrolytes and all XD
You need to make rum ham from It's Always Sunny
I'm in tears at Greg's reactions. just what the dr. ordered today!
Gregg's reactions to diet and zero sugar sodas vindicates me to no end.
Also I miss Meredith.
I swear I can taste the whisky salty through my screen
The red espresso martini absolutely has the vibe of a Swedish university student chapter bar drink. I’m pretty sure the Industrial engineers at my university has a very similar one that’s even got a crushed up caffeine pill on the rim of the glass.
Ohh dear... that carbonated milk's going right through Greg... xD

Gregs descriptions are esoteric... But I can always get it.
You know, seeing the Beet Juice Mimosa gave me an idea for another equally cursed drink: Cranberry Juice (NOT the Cocktail mix that Cran-Spray serves, we're talking the OG Cranberry Juice that is *bitter* as heck) Mimosa.
I could only imagine how bitter putting something that could put bitters to shame mixed with a Champaigne known for being a dry drink would be, with no simple to balance it out. Mind you, if you did put in simple, it'd basically be the cranberry cocktail mix mimosa which might genuinely be a potable beverage.
