You should make “Skooma”, “Balmora Blue”, and “Double Distilled Skooma” from Skyrim. These are the illegal drinks because of how bad they can mess you up. So I think that they would be a good candidate for a harder cocktail
Even though I am a big gamer myself I was actually worried when HTD started getting more into the pop culture side (It's free views I can't blame him). I feared the show would lose it's informational and old-fashioned flair. He hasn't missed a beat, and if anything it's been a lot of fun to see Greg's inner 80's basement nerd come out. Good shit Greg
That infomercial for the CDi was on all the time and I was CONVINCED that I was seriously missing out. CDi was a “game console” for divorced dads who read the Sharper Image catalogue.
I absolutely love the "tasting notes" in each episode. They get my genuinely laughing out loud every time. Seriously though, see a doctor about those heart containers filling up.
There’s a great Canadian made gin called Empress 1908 that uses Butterfly Pea flowers! It’s wicked tasty and wicked cool to look at too! Could definitely substitute!
Welp you've officially done it, you've managed to combine my longest running hobby my favorite game franchise of all time and drinking problem neatly into one episode. Now I need to make this, OoT best Zelda but L2tP best 2D Zelda by far.
Greg I love love LOVE the straight up like "Alchemy" episodes where you play with viscosity and bright colors and color changing (those pea blossoms are just awesome). More of these please!
Please never stop making videos,the nice chilling music ,the satisfying pouring and the general way you present the show is awesome,also great jokes on the taste notes. You always make my day every night i watch a video no matter how bad it was ,cheers
Thank you for the fantastic looking Shirley Temple, too. True story, I had my first Shirley Temple when my parents took me to a jazz club with a two drink minimum. Since we stayed for the second set, I ended up drinking four of them. (For the record, I was 11 and my little sister, who also ended up with four Shirley Temples, was 8.). I flunked my math test the next day, thus proving one should never stay out until 2 a.m. on a school night.
I like the idea that Links quest was so daunting he ran around drinking and swinging his sword like the little sociopath he is. Were those monsters he was killing? No, they were women and children, he was just so drunk they looked the same.
Embrace your nerdiness! It’s so fun watching you make these videos with that kind of dorky flair, don’t beat yourself up in the moment for it. Keep up the awesome work.
It's ok- Even without the Tri-force, we all know the Gods of Hyrule are a bunch of cheating mother fckers. They would allow him to replay the past 3 days to right his mistake :)
Yeah, I was thinking it's such an electric blue that it seems purple. I was also thinking he could just be colorblind, my boyfriend also thought it looked blue, and he's a little colorblind.
@@Grumpysnorlax Theres different kinds of colorblindness. You probably (based on statistics, don't mean to assume) have red green while the person coco was referring to has red blue.
Definitely out did yourself on this one. The Stimpack Shot looks like a great drink, but the presentation for the potions were simple, yet instantly recognizable. Great job once again!
Big fan of the channel here, always enjoy learning alot about the history and the process behind what youre making for us. Would love to see what you come up with for an Infinity Stones shot series or and Infinity Gauntlet drink! Keep up the great work!
Ive watched about 10 of these vids and I rlly like them because not only do they look delicious but it's really relaxing with the old music in the background and you know what ur doing,keep it up
OMG more video game style drinks! I love your fan boy nature when it comes to movies, but I'm a gamer and dig these. Especially the nostalgia of them. Keep 'em coming Greg!
The detail orientation to drinks, set, product and effects are super well done. I've only have watched this one video from the channel so far, but this is defintely what I consider ideal content from start to finish.
I just wonder what Ganon's up to! If every future episode is gaming-themed and has some history lessons tied in, I'd be more than on board with that. Drinking and video games, my mortal vices. Great work put into these, as always. If you're still fishing for further suggestions... there's the massive mid-stage flask from Dead Cells which I haven't seen mentioned, and the glowing white health orb from Hollow Knight in honor of the Silksong announcement yesterday. In any case, loving the channel.
Man, i found your channel because the butter beer video was recommended, but i am glad that i stayed subscribed after it because i love the videos you make and how your personality is. Keep up the great work greg!
Glad i found this channel. I was watching a mod video that i was recommended and went to look for videos on what to love in fallout games and that was where i saw your stimpak vid while scrolling thru em
I rarely drink, but yet I am always excited to see what nerdy drink you make next Greg. And plus, I feel like whenever I do host a house party with all my nerdy friends, I'll have plenty of options of drinks to make :D
Fuck I love how you're always ever so slightly disheveled and tipsy in every episode. Almost like you've just come home from a fairly stressful day at the office, made a couple drinks, the wife's on your ass, you go into the gents cave to make a cocktail youtube video. Beautiful.
It's a very faint disheveled. Like 10% disheveled. A mix of Gill from The Simpsons and Magnum PI. Less Gill more Magnum. And more cocktail. @@howtodrink
I just love this channel! its just bring me back to life with your sense of humours!!!Every time you post I’m so excited to watch em and learn new things!!!
I have a cocktail idea similar to a julep but not quite. 3 oz blue vodka(since you already have butterfly pea) 1 oz white creme de menthe 1/2 oz simple syrup Serve over crushed ice Optional garnish with dry ice Color should be light blue, so don't need to leave the flowers in for too long.
@Hei Fong Liu I'm currently playing through Witcher 2. The combat is more akin to Dark Souls, whereas the first game was like Runescape combined with Guitar Hero.
@Hei Fong Liu it's not as well-executed as Dark Souls combat, (although that's not really an insult, since Soulsbourne combat is great) but it has that same basic "light attack, strong attack, dodge roll, block" system. Also, like Dark Souls, you'll repeatedly get killed on an encounter before it eventually clicks and you do it perfectly.
My favorite part of this series is that someone is always fact-checking the things he says. Its that small attention to detail that made me a fan and legit pushed me to sub. ^_^ thank you! hahahahaha thinking about it , life needs more fact-checking

Man love these, made me reminiscent of your awesome Stimpak shot video! Killer production, love videogames, such a fun time. Need to try these out. Keep making the rad content. ♡
Hey greg, your channel is getting very popular pretty rapidly, the production quality and creativity is rising and I really think that doing drinks based on classical video games is going to help your channel soar Edit: Until you said “sword of the 4 winds”
Super cool! Is there a chance you'd make the Chateau Romani from Majora's Mask? The Milk Bar always made it seem like it was some sort of alcoholic drink.
😭 omg the nostalgia of the original Zelda. One of my favorites. I love when you guys do games and fictional inspiration drinks...Fantastic Beasts Game of Thrones Harry Potter all top of my list 💕
You, sir, are outstanding. I've made quite a few of the drinks you've posted and they were fantastic! I appreciate your works and taste in beverages. Was curious if you could invent a drink to represent The Last of Us? It is one of the more popular and story driven games there has been in a while. Although as a challenge, I suggest you don't base it on the infected but more the ambiance and characteristics of the game. So it is that the flavors reflect the sensations of that apocalyptic, overgrown world. It's merely a suggestion, I appreciate your works!
I watched a few of our sketches, found the channel today looking for Mojito making, great humor and really fun overall setup and presentation!!! Keep up the great work mate!!!
I love your channel so much man. Not only are u a skilled bartender, but also very entertaining, and whoever you Editor is, he makes these videos genious. Thank You
Did you know that Nintendo was going to release a trailer for their next game when you shot this? btw, love the show! The professionalism, production quality, and educational components of the show are top notch and yet never seem to detract from how down to earth of a dude you are. Your work ethic and vision for the thing that you're passionate about is an inspiration to me as a student at law in Canada.
I was so excited to try this, I do love Zelda (& you too Greg)!! The flowers infuse their color very quickly! You should mix them in and only shake it a few times and then immediately strain... BLUE!! But if left in too long... purple indeed!(
Hey Greg, I loved this episode. I have looked so long for some kind of potion drink, with which I can spice up my DnD games =D If you ever have fun doing more of these, please do so, I really enjoy them =D
I’ve just stumbled across you and all I have to say is that when I watch your videos I feel like I should be next to a fireplace with a cigar and a drink while I watch. The music tops it off! I don’t know if your going for that relaxing vibe or not but if so you nailed it! New Subscriber here! Keep it up brother your very humble.
Slightly disappointed he didn't just speak gibberish the entire episode with dialogue bars along the bottom of the screen
Speak gibberish?
I think you've got Zelda confused with Animal Crossing
Maybe next time!
RhythmGrizz do you consider “HEP HUP HYAAAAH” to be a language?
@@RhythmGrizz that or Banjo Kazooie.
E
Greg: "look at how blue that is..."
Rum: [is purple]
Rum and Soda, starts purple, ends light purple. Straight magic yo.
Was so ready for my “it’s purple” comment... ya beat me to it
Blue Jays are actually purple. Google it.
isn't it because of color correction?
thanks god i was starting to wonder if im colorblind....
Nintendo’s palms are sweating to demonetize
Entire triforce eyeballing ya from the shelf the entire episode…
You should make “Skooma”, “Balmora Blue”, and “Double Distilled Skooma” from Skyrim. These are the illegal drinks because of how bad they can mess you up. So I think that they would be a good candidate for a harder cocktail
This would be such a cool drink to be made. good idea!
Mmmm mmm mm... distilled moon sugar! Wasn't there something from the Orcs that was hallucinogenic too?
@@slovencleta more like liquid crack, since moonsugar is pretty similar to cocaine.
I would be intensely interested in that. Even if I have a preference with wine.
Skooma:
- 1 oz lime juice
- 5 oz pink lemonade
- 2 oz vodka
- a lethal dose of fentanyl
Enjoy!
Even though I am a big gamer myself I was actually worried when HTD started getting more into the pop culture side (It's free views I can't blame him). I feared the show would lose it's informational and old-fashioned flair. He hasn't missed a beat, and if anything it's been a lot of fun to see Greg's inner 80's basement nerd come out.

I never in a million years thought you would bring up the Zelda CDI games... but you totally went there. I love it.
That infomercial for the CDi was on all the time and I was CONVINCED that I was seriously missing out.
CDi was a “game console” for divorced dads who read the Sharper Image catalogue.
We don't talk about that
"I feel my heart containers filling."
*See a doctor about that*
The little details in this show kill me!
"The little details in this show kill me."
See a doctor about that.
Oh hey! That live action super mario show actually exists. I thought it was just a fever dream I had when I was 6.
It could have been both, honestly
DO THE MARIO!!!!
Indeed it does and it's on netflix (US) now.
Dude. The 80's *were* a fever dream.
Sadly it’s true and I cry every night because of it...
I absolutely love the "tasting notes" in each episode. They get my genuinely laughing out loud every time. Seriously though, see a doctor about those heart containers filling up.

Ocarina of Time was awesome...BOTW my new fav tho
ALTTP was so much better than OoT and most of the other 3D zeldas were better than OoT.
I didn't find Link in the description. He's just not there!
Yeah, I looked for him too, was disappointed.
asger thorndal kofod STAHP!
I spit my drink out
😭🤣😏🤣😂
You win 😊
Greg I love love LOVE the straight up like "Alchemy" episodes where you play with viscosity and bright colors and color changing (those pea blossoms are just awesome).
More of these please!
Please never stop making videos,the nice chilling music ,the satisfying pouring and the general way you present the show is awesome,also great jokes on the taste notes. You always make my day every night i watch a video no matter how bad it was ,cheers
Super creative, really like the addition of the old-fashioned soda jerk style drinks, too
Dude you’re production is getting so much better! Especially the added comedy and clips, it’s really great to watch your content evolve.
Thank you for the fantastic looking Shirley Temple, too.
True story, I had my first Shirley Temple when my parents took me to a jazz club with a two drink minimum. Since we stayed for the second set, I ended up drinking four of them. (For the record, I was 11 and my little sister, who also ended up with four Shirley Temples, was 8.). I flunked my math test the next day, thus proving one should never stay out until 2 a.m. on a school night.
I like the idea that Links quest was so daunting he ran around drinking and swinging his sword like the little sociopath he is. Were those monsters he was killing? No, they were women and children, he was just so drunk they looked the same.
Uuhhh. He was drinking rum not skooma.
Reminds me of that Silent Hill 3 scene with Vincent. "They look like monsters to you?"
Some friends did color-change drinks at a "Potions Party" but I like yours because it's fizzy too!
Estus and Ashen Estus Greg..... you’re the only one that can do it!
Embrace your nerdiness! It’s so fun watching you make these videos with that kind of dorky flair, don’t beat yourself up in the moment for it. Keep up the awesome work.
That intro was hilarious, show keeps getting better and better !
Greg how dare you, a Triforce is never a dumb thing to buy, how else are you supposed to deal with a random Ganon encounter?
It's ok- Even without the Tri-force, we all know the Gods of Hyrule are a bunch of cheating mother fckers. They would allow him to replay the past 3 days to right his mistake :)
Greg is my messiah, and his camera angles? Those slow motion pours? The most satisfying thing on the planet. Absolute dork, love it.
"Look how blue that is!" Yep, so blue its... purple.
I mean, if you're looking at it from an electromagnetic perspective, then purple is ultimately bluer than blue.
Yeah, I was thinking it's such an electric blue that it seems purple. I was also thinking he could just be colorblind, my boyfriend also thought it looked blue, and he's a little colorblind.
I’m colorblind and it looks purple
@@Grumpysnorlax Theres different kinds of colorblindness. You probably (based on statistics, don't mean to assume) have red green while the person coco was referring to has red blue.
if we talk about color shades, purples can be a blue shade (as pink is a red shade).
Definitely out did yourself on this one. The Stimpack Shot looks like a great drink, but the presentation for the potions were simple, yet instantly recognizable. Great job once again!
kudos to the on screen edit notes, it enhanced my viewing experience
The editor is the best @ 7:50. He/she/whatever knew exactly what was needed. 10/10
Big fan of the channel here, always enjoy learning alot about the history and the process behind what youre making for us.
Would love to see what you come up with for an Infinity Stones shot series or and Infinity Gauntlet drink!
Keep up the great work!

Oooooooo drinks from fallout and skyrim as keeping with the game theme! You've made me excited to turn 21 in a few months!
That color change was actually pretty awesome.
I'm glad you mentioned the iconic CDI zelda games, the absolute BEST ones in the series.
Yes yes yes! I love this video game inspired content! : D
how can this channel havent got 1mil subs ?
this is so good!!! Love your videos How to drink.
Quality content
2:07 " I AM ERROR" Hey, me too
This is beautiful and I am so obsessed with the color change of those flowers. It’s crazy.
Hope the deer survives that cut. Great sound effects. Keep up the great work. Cheers

Greg: "So now I want to add 6oz of seltzer to this"
Also Greg: Spills 4oz outside the drink
Still looks great man!
Glad i found this channel. I was watching a mod video that i was recommended and went to look for videos on what to love in fallout games and that was where i saw your stimpak vid while scrolling thru em
You should make a Mulled Wine episode, using the recipe from the Ice and Fire cookbook.
I rarely drink, but yet I am always excited to see what nerdy drink you make next Greg. And plus, I feel like whenever I do host a house party with all my nerdy friends, I'll have plenty of options of drinks to make :D

This channel, the videos, and most importantly the cocktails are great!! Keep up the good work.
"Excuuuuuuuuse me, princess" is the best line ever.
Loving these video game episodes! They're making me feel old, but I'm loving them.
These drinks will impress my adult gaming children
I'm eternally grateful for your talents with spirits
I just love this channel! its just bring me back to life with your sense of humours!!!Every time you post I’m so excited to watch em and learn new things!!!
this is just a question to the 3 people that disliked this video... why!? this is just fun and wonderful to watch along with all of his other videos
I am so happy to have discovered this channel, holy crap, so many good recipes and Greg is a fantastic presenter!
I have a cocktail idea similar to a julep but not quite.
3 oz blue vodka(since you already have butterfly pea)
1 oz white creme de menthe
1/2 oz simple syrup
Serve over crushed ice
Optional garnish with dry ice
Color should be light blue, so don't need to leave the flowers in for too long.
Maybe a dash of absinthe if you like absinthe
@@expertionis794 The idea is a minty, cold cocktail that represents winter. Guess thats
that's on its way out, though.
I made homemade grenadine (and a few other syrups) for a secret santa last year and it was fantastic.
I'd love to see your take on some of the potions from the Witcher 3! There are a ton to choose from and they all have alcohol in the in-game recipe.
Seconding this
@Hei Fong Liu Shame that Wives' Tears didn't show up in the later games. I'd be interested to see a take on Black Blood.
@Hei Fong Liu Highly recommend TW3.
@Hei Fong Liu I'm currently playing through Witcher 2. The combat is more akin to Dark Souls, whereas the first game was like Runescape combined with Guitar Hero.

Side note: I know better than to drink garbage grenadine now and thank you.
You should try to make the border lands cocktails they have on their website. Maybe improve it to your tastes kind of like binging with babish.
I want unedited versions of your shows, I can see the darkness in your eyes. The power glove comment was but a glimpse of what I crave.
Love the bottles! 😁 Love the sound of the drink man! Will be having a go myself for sure. Great content 👌🏽💯 super inspired me for my channel!
Hey greg, your channel is getting very popular pretty rapidly, the production quality and creativity is rising and I really think that doing drinks based on classical video games is going to help your channel soar
Edit: Until you said “sword of the 4 winds”
I appreciate the hell out of a man who has this much Zelda knowledge
Episodes are top notch lately. The tasting notes and other misc screen text is great.
It used to annoy me that he spills so much, now i get sad when he does a good pour and doesn't spill :(
Best channel in my feed . Always so interest with amazing cinematography. Keep up the amazing work!

You just earned yourself another subscriber my friend. Nicely done
...I love everything about this.
That Sigmund sword slip was funny near the end. Perhaps A Megaman E tank concoction would add a nice montage to a NES themed drink night.
Next time you make a Legend of Zelda themed drink, you should wear a GREEN flannel shirt! :D
I love your channel so much man. Not only are u a skilled bartender, but also very entertaining, and whoever you Editor is, he makes these videos genious. Thank You
I was NOT expecting a Zelda CDI joke. GJ Greg you handsome devil.
Did you know that Nintendo was going to release a trailer for their next game when you shot this?

A link to the past. I see. You're clearly a man of taste.
I was so excited to try this, I do love Zelda (& you too Greg)!! The flowers infuse their color very quickly! You should mix them in and only shake it a few times and then immediately strain... BLUE!! But if left in too long... purple indeed!(
More tiki drinks!!! Not gonna hate on video game themed drinks though.
Strongly second this! Most of my favorites are tiki, there are so many great ones and I'm still discovering new ones
Hey Greg, I loved this episode. I have looked so long for some kind of potion drink, with which I can spice up my DnD games =D If you ever have fun doing more of these, please do so, I really enjoy them =D
Love your videos but when you flash a one liner on the bottom of the screen can you leave it up for just a split second longer?
jesus, love watching you making drinks its so relaxing
6:42 "Drink Bites Man" what an interesting article that'd be
I’ve just stumbled across you and all I have to say is that when I watch your videos I feel like I should be next to a fireplace with a cigar and a drink while I watch. The music tops it off! I don’t know if your going for that relaxing vibe or not but if so you nailed it! New Subscriber here! Keep it up brother your very humble.
That bottle reminds me of the old cartoon Adventures of the Gummi Bears, and the potions they used to drink.
Gummi gummi bears bouncing everywhere
How To Drink yes! That’s the one 😂😂 I used to love that show as a kid
I got this, along with my NES, for xmas in 1986. I was 10, still playing now at 45.
I see this video was clearly toward the end of filming. We have a casualty!
I Love this channel. I'm excited to see it continue to grow in the years to come!
How about a Blood Vial from Bloodborne? Or perhaps an Estus Flask from Dark Souls?
More game related drinks would be fun! Great video, man!
