  • Real world versions of drinks from Skyrim, as served by Talen-Jei at the Bee and the Barb in Riften! I used to be an adventurer, like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
    Bottles I use on How to Drink can be found here: bit.ly/H2D-Spirits-Skyrim
    Skyrim is a few years old now but remains hugely popular, and it boasts a thriving community of players and modders who are keeping the thing going and going and going. I haven't played it myself in a bit, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in Skyrim, and I've been thinking about making drinks from it for a long time. It doesn't hurt that "Drinks from Skyrim" is one of the most common requests I get, so let's do it. Looking at Skyrim there's a few options I can go with, Skooma comes to mind of course, but since Skyrim actually has three legitimate cocktails in its setting, it seems silly to start with anything else, so I'll have to save the Skooma for another day. I'm instead going to focus on the drinks served by Talen-Jei, the bartender and owner of the Riften bar called The Bee and The Barb. He's got three speciality cocktails on the menu, and they all sound pretty great, so I'm recreating those here.

      @@howtodrink Dangerously good, with an ABV that high. Several friends of mine really liked cooking with it, especially for barbecue (marinade was best with chicken, second best with pork, and beef brought out the cinnamon REALLY strongly for some reason). Actually took it to my favorite local homebrew store, and handed a bottle off to the guy who actually judged local brewing competitions.
      From his notes:
      aroma - nice fruit + honey nose, honey notes coming through well.
      Color: Beautiful color (gold) excellent clarity, filtered?
      Flavor - starts sweet up front, mid palate is a tiny bit flat.
      Finish- Nice long lasting finish, tartness is right on, very pleasing finish.
      Side note: I never filtered it, just let it sit for a long time, about 8-9 months. I was rather proud as this was my first big brewing project. Sorry if this reply is a bit long, but I wanted to include the information from the more knowledgeable palate.

    6:02 nightshades are one of those wonderful foods that fall into the category of “poisonous to most species...and delicious to humans.” Though usually when people just say “Nightshade” they mean “Deadly Nightshade,” which is one of the very few examples that are seriously toxic to humans. Other examples of foods that are poisonous to most animals but humans are fine with: Carrots, parsnips etc. are actually in the same family as Hemlock (this is why one shouldn’t eat wild carrots unless one has a really good botanical background), chili peppers evolved capsaicin to keep animals that aren’t birds (immune) from eating them, the sulfur compounds in Alliums (Shallots, Onions, and Garlic) are toxic to most species and the entire reason we eat them. Humans are honestly just really hardy.

    Sujamma is definitely one of the very common (since Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind) dark elf drinks you come across. Morrowinds common drinks are Flin (the Imperial whiskey), Sujamma, Mazte, Greef, and Shein. Shein is a local wine of Vvardenfell that is brewed from comberry (like cranberries but look more like holly). Greef is a brandy made from comberry. Mazte is super cheap, common and brewed from fermented saltrice (a dark nutrious grain grown in Morrowind; looks like a darker brown rice). So for awhile Sujamma didn't really give you hints as to what it is made with or type of alcohol. But Elder Scrolls Online has a recipe your character can find and make called "Sujamma" whose ingredients are: Barley, comberry and lemon.

    Skooma = simple syrup (substitute for "moonsugar"), green fairy absinthe ('cause it used to be illegal and was rumored to cause hallucinations), something to give it a dark purple color (since the bottles are dark purple), aaaaand... some "magic" mushrooms just to give it that extra illegal hallucinogenic effect.

    I’ve never really payed attention to Talen-Jei’s drinks before, but now, I’m never going to be able to walk into the Bee and Barb without dreaming of that White-Gold Tower DX

    Hey Greg, have you ever thought of making a video detailing which drinks you'd put on your own personal menu?

    I've been playing Skyrim on and off for a few years. Never have beaten it. I usually just start exploring when I play and never get anywhere

      There’s the ultra divine water that makes you a strong but gives you a seizure and could kill you, it also causes a little necrosis, but if you survive you’re about 10x stronger than before, it unlocks your hidden strength, if you are too weak or have no hidden strength it’ll go farther than giving you a seizure, and fucking kill you, almost killed yajirobe and goku.

    Binge watching a few of these in a row makes me miss the days of being a Bartender a few years back and being excited to make my first cocktails. These skyrim based drinks look beautiful and sound tasty
