[@theLSdrummer]

This show, the Melt Master, and Why Would You Eat That are my favorite shows on this channel :)

[@EmilioCasavegas]

I love the door on that bar!

[@christinecamley]

Misty is amazing!! This cocktail looks so delicious and I'd love to sit and chat with Misty and enjoy it! I love how it is presented!! :-)

[@kimchifome]

It's cool! And it is Friday.Cocktail Time!!!LOL

[@ilovetheusers]

That looks awesome.

[@johnb1391]

You could try ordering it online if possible. If not, try looking for a cream sherry, or substitute for a generic sweet liquer. It won't taste quite the same, but it'll get the job done.

[@WordsPhrasesNumbers]

I first read the title as "mescal" (thinking mescaline) and got my hopes up.

[@Kothofthehammer]

Love the door XD

[@Jaw5199]

Liver :" What did I do to deserve this?!"

[@gilgammesh1]

Coffee without caffiene, AND alcoholic! Im in for some of that :)

[@Industry90]

I know a substitute for this drink, in case you don't have all those drinks. I mean who's going to go buy all that crap just for one cocktail... Ready, get some of your favorite tequila and cut it with some of your favorite brewed coffee. Bam!

[@DrTraumatic]

How would I acquire the Pedro Ximenez sherry in Canada? Is there something I can sub in for it?

[@thunderscratch66]

As Andrew Zimmern would say "nutty, earthy, woody, gamey" ;)

[@BeastOfTraal]

Can mezcals be aged like tequila.
Can you get a Reposado or Añejo meezcal? With the smokiness of the mexcal It seams like ageing would give it a scotch like quality.

[@tasted]

maybe a little lol

[@tasted]

oops. it's friday lol

[@itsbfginnit]

To the person who edited this video :
Please next time lower the music's volume a bit.
I constantly had to adjust my speaker's volume. I had to turn it up to hear the speking, but turn it down when it was music.
It was prety annoying.

[@NaNdgate]

Also "you're" not "your."
Sorry. Someone was going to mention it sooner or later.

[@TheZhlman]
