  • Greg makes 3 drinks he has never had from The Modern Bartenders Guide while he and Meredith chat. It's an after party so anything goes.
    In this episode we use a Baldoria Vermouth which is currently shipping free at Curiada - bit.ly/drinkcr.... They're from the team behind Little Red Door, which is a destination avant-garde cocktail bar in Paris that is consistently ranked one of the Top 10 Bars in the World. The vermouths have JUST arrived to the US and as you can see in the episode are worth a try.

    Hey Meredith, I read an article from NPR recently (dated Jan. 26) about a nonalcoholic drinks festival in Washington DC. One of the organizers said "All of the early bartending manuals include nonalcoholic drinks" but after Prohibition "people stopped treating people who don't drink alcohol like adults." It's a really interesting article if you want to google it. It also mentions there are nonalcoholic bitters that might be interesting to try. I don't know if any of this would work for content on the channel, but I thought I'd mention it in case you're interested for personal use. Also, good luck to you and your partner. Trying to get pregnant can be incredibly stressful, especially if there are medical procedures involved. I hope it all goes well.

    Story about Twilight anesthesia I’ve had a few surgeries in the past 5-6 years and the second one the anesthesiologist told me they were going to try twilight method. After my surgery I woke up like an hour later than expected. When they came to see me afterwards they told me that I had an “interesting reaction” to twilight. Instead of sedating me and allowing for the surgery to continue I started to try and get up because the surgeon said I needed to be repositioned so “Wait I can do that for you.” Anesthesiologist said it was the first time he’s ever had full conversations with someone under twilight and I have total amnesia from right around when he injected me with the cocktail to waking up afterwards. They had to put me under general anesthesia to continue the surgery because I wasn’t going out lol. Since then I’ve told every single anesthesiologist that I do not want twilight, and they always give me a look of “how do you know about this” and then I tell them the story.
    Edit: oh and when I woke up I almost got violent and they were ready to restrain me because mixing twilight and general is a whole nother business lol

I'm not out" and he got wide eyed and held the mask tighter on my face like he was trying to smother someone with a pillow. I asked about it when I was in recovery and the nurse said "Oh.

They thought for SURE I was out. ear buds in place, put me in, started everything up and I sat up and plaster myself to the inside of the machine. I am Blind. My husband is Very soft spoken., and finally had to Crawl Inside the machine, because I Can't hear him, to come GET me, and I Can't See him. It took about half an hour, for him to realize as I'm trying to crawl out the back of the machine, that I just couldn't hear him. Once he had ahold of me, I stopped freaking out like a switch had been flipped.

    I used to be really stressed about anesthesia, but genuinely, having surgery made me less afraid of dying. I understand it’s different for everyone, but the absoluteness of the nothing I perceived under anesthesia-not even the *awareness* of having missed anything at all-was really reassuring. I felt groggy after I finally woke up, but after the fact it’s been a helpful experience.
    (I also used to be worried I’d say/do something crazy after being under, but apparently I was just quiet and tired both times, so that’s another fear out of the way lmao)

Why would a man intentionally want to have his nads severed? I'm gagging just at the thought of it. Birth control and condoms are a thing if you really need to have sex that often. Not trying to shit on you for doing what you want, just saying it's extremely excessive. Vasectomies used to be a sentence for sexual crimes against children and rape.

    My high school did Anything Goes my sophomore year (might have been junior year). I was in the pit orchestra, and rather than being down in the pit under the stage we were all in white tux jackets up on top of the set just out of the main stage lights. Since the show takes place on a cruise ship, the set was built to look like the side decks of an old time cruise ship, and we were the ship band out on the upper decks. It was a lot of fun, although we had to actually look presentable rather than the filthy pit goblins we were for most shows.

      If you wake up with signs of moderate-to-severe hypoglycemia (feeling excessively hungry or thirsty, headaches, or shakiness, for example...), it could be an indicator that your passing out at inopportune times are maybe a bit more than just being tired.
      Maybe I'm reading more into what you wrote than you intended, but, unless there are other specific driving reasons for what you're describing about these occurrences, you might want to talk to your doctor about potential neurological concerns.
      I may be some random schmuck on the internet, and I know I'm grossly underinformed on your own situation (and I don't care to pry about it, either...), but having been saddled with my own issues with malfunctioning brain meat, as well as that of a number of my friends, growing up, I'd rather advocate for people ruling out conditions that could cause them severe harm if left untreated.

    According to cocktail historian David Wondrich, a dash is about 1/4 of a teaspoon. Personally I use that measurement when making old cocktails. It makes more sense when using syrups or liqueurs than the more modern interpretation of 1/8 Teaspoon. Here are some more old measurements used in cocktails:
    - 1 Wine-glass (or sherry glass) = 2 Ounces
    - 1 Liqueur-glass = ~1 Ounce
    - 1 Pony Glass = 1 Ounce

      @@howtodrink Yes, you're correct, old teaspoons varied in capacity. However, if you take the median of the capacities you get closer to 5ml, the modern teaspoon. This doesn't take into account the average, but that would require more research to get a possible answer.

      That's for dry ingredients, though! A dash in liquids is literally 10 drops - as in those old-fashioned medicine drop dispensers that were in the lid/cap of medicine bottles. Basically take 10 eyedropper drops, that should be about right.

    Anesthesia was dope for me. I had shoulder surgery a year and a half ago. I went in, they put me to sleep, and woke up with a shoulder that won’t dislocate. They tried to keep me longer after surgery but I wasn’t driving so I said no no you can wheelchair me out and I’m going home. I was certainly not ready to move as I got up from the wheelchair walking a manhattan block to my brothers car and realizing I certainly should’ve stayed longer but I made It safely back to Long Island and a year and a half later my shoulder has not dislocated!

    Yeah I'm a heavy sleeper and I rarely dream so most of the time sleeping basically feels like a time skip, I have near zero environmetal awareness when I'm sleeping. Went camping at a family friends cabin when I was a kid, I was sleeping in a room with windows facing the back where they fell a huge tree in the morning and everyone was shocked that I slept through the massive tree trunk slamming into the ground. That being said I understand fear of anesthesia, not because of the loss of conscious awareness but anesthesia affects people differently, and is dangerous when administered incorrectly.

From the physical perspective, although it was instantaneous, my body had that feeling like it had truly rested, and waking up felt wonderful.

    Having gotten my wisdom teeth out a couple months ago, and similarly being freaked out of my gourd about it because I'd never been put under before, it actually went pretty well. The worst part was just getting the darn IV in at all; I have thin veins, and the surgeon had to try the needle three times before he got it right. The constant flicking me in the crook of my elbow was really starting to hurt by the time he switched to putting it in my wrist, but once it was in, I was out so hard I didn't even remember falling asleep. Nothing particularly notable happened beyond that, just woke up an hour later, groggy as hell and with a mouth full of gauze, and shuffled my way to my mom's car.

  • @ConnorSinclairCavin

    From what i have heard on original dashes and splashes:
    A dash leaves a line over the surface (a dash “-“ mark) from just short of one side to just short of the other by dashing the bottle neck toward the glass
    A splash you tilt the bottle toward the drink then swing it toward it to make a heavier glug of liquid that hits and “splashes” the drink around the interior of the glass, sort of like a stick-less one pop stir.
    So most likely dashes and splashes were both decently larger than they are now, however they also went into generally smaller cups and glasses (with some exceptions for places which prefer steins and similar large craft cups) so the “mix” was likely far more prevalent in the past than the actual body is now.

He brought a quart bottle of Lemon & Lime Crystal Light - and a pint of Popov Vodka - that's right, the stuff that was 99 cents a half-pint for like 20 years - and told the bartender to give him a couple glasses of ice.
