    My favorite mead based cocktail would be the "Old Reliable". Take your favorite Old Fashioned recipe and replace the simple syrup with mead. City Steading's " My First Mead" is a great suggestion, with it's higher sugar content.

    Oh yeah sounds good even though I'm not a martini guy either. Might try that with my blueberry mead!

    Another great one to try out would be a lemon drop using a sweet mead as the simple syrup/sweetener. Love these meadtinis!

    Thanks for this one, my favorite martini is a peachtini: 1 part Peachtree schnapps to 5 parts Tito's vodka. I have some cyser mead that I am not overly fond of, I will try to make a 'tini with it and see how it is.

    Very nice im going to play around with some of my meads for cocktails!! I used to be a bartender, you're doing fine with the shaker lol. One little piece of advice though is put your ingredients in the smaller of the 2 and slap the bigger one on top. Ensures you dont put too much in and makes a better seal. Cheers guys!

    Never seen Tito's ever, anywhere so it's Zubrowka Vodka for me. The alcohol oblitterates the more subtle mead flavors but I will try the mandarinmeadtini!

    I did your mead that had orange and lemon peel with raisins and it came out VERY orange. I make a drink with 1.5 of it and vanilla vodka shaken with ice. It's a cream sickle or the smoothies you could get at the mall way back when... Lol

    So I made a lime mead using the simply limeade juice that came to 14.5%. It reminded me of triple sec so I added ice, tequila, and grand marnier and made a Meadgarita. It's delicious!!!

    I made your chocolate pomegranate wine but deviated and also used pomegranate syrup which made it way too sour to drink by itself. Instead, I’ve been enjoying it as a cocktail where I mix the wine, Japanese gin and maple syrup to taste, and it has been my favorite drink recently.

    Gonna need to get some Shanky's Whip for my bottle of coffee mead. Side note that doesn't impact you in any way. Shanky's Whip has given me the ability to enjoy alcohol in coffee.

    The rice and raisin wine I made a while ago might be better as a cocktail. I guess I will find out when ever I open up a bottle and taste it again at some point. It was good just a little too sweet, because it did not ferment as high as I was hoping for. I think some sort of horchata inspired cocktail with rum would work really well with this wine. I think I made it and bottled it six or seven months ago? I am kind of curious what it taste like now.

    Congratulations on 6 yrs with the channel. I'm glad to have found you 2. Brian I have a question. Will you please direct me to a video to watch so I may learn how to calculate ABV. I had an OG of 1.104, after time it was 1.000. I added honey. so then get 1.020 .. and so on I recently watched a video where you did this.. You did a few additions and had to calculate the ABV. I can learn from that video if I knew which one to watch..

      @@CitySteadingBrewsThanks but not what I'm looking for. Wanting to add multiple readings. On same Batch.. You have an OG of 1.1000, wait after time take a reading it's .999 That is Aprox 13.6 %ABV now add honey to it, Because Yeast can go to 16% after adding honey take a reading and get 1.030. Wait 14 days (APROX) and get a reading of 1.000. That is 4.05% ??? Do I add 13.6% + 4.05% Is it 17% ?? ABV, (APROX)

    Every time I hear a reference to Groundhog Day, my brain flashes to the scene with Bill Murray saying, "Don't drive angry. Don't drive angry."
    Now I have the mental image of Derica with a much smaller Brian on her lap holding a shaker as she says, "Don't mix angry. Don't mix angry."
