This is a random place to comment this.

And now we've got to know the man for the lovable nerd he is; not to mention seeing the traditional formula expanded and newer video ideas like this coming out and adding to the interest. Keep on doing what you're doing Greg. Been here since 40-50K or something, and I've loved every second of it.

1:04 Brazilian here, and I'd like to talk for a bit about the "cachaça is rum" debate if anyone's interested. I will start by conceding that yes, cachaça is pretty much the same as rhum agricole (don't tell my Brazilian friends I said that!), _however_ It was probably developed _before_ most rums (surely before rhum agricole was first distilled in the French Caribbean, cachaça probably started being distilled in engenhos -- Brazilian sugarcane plantation -- as early as the 1530s), but the process is very similar (I think it's perfectly reasonable to say that every spirit distilled from sugarcane products is a type of rum). Besides that, there is clearly a distinct culture that has developed around cachaça and cachaça-making which is separate from Caribbean rum -- believe me when I say cachaça is a huge deal in Brazil, and the differences between cachaças can be even bigger than the differences between, say, Cuban and Jamaican rum. Don't think that cachaça is "just" Brazilian rum, and that if you've drunk one, you've drunk all. There is a lot of variety, and if a drink enthusiast is ever in Brazil it's highly encouraged to try many different types, neat or in a well-made caipirinha. Sidenote, it is possible (though not likely) that the caipirinha is actually a Brazilian version of the old-fashioned. It was probably invented in high-class cocktail parties thrown by rich São Paulo landowners during a shortage of whisky, which was (and still is) widely consumed in Brazil, in order to appease old-fashioned drinkers (hence the similar preparation -- a caipirinha is not shaken like a daiquiri, even though the ingredients are the same -- spirit, lime and sugar --, but built in the glass in much the same way as an old-fashioned).

As long as you reference the original creators (in this case Rhett and Link) it should be fine. The GMM crew doesn't seem to be super petty in either case, they are not exactly Disney or J K Rowling (who both BTW borrowed a lot of ideas themselves but get upset if anyone do the same of them). But I think Greg should have borrowed the dart board instead and competed with someone where strange local booze or drinks come from, that would be highly entertaining.

Hiya Greg, loved the episode. I recently experimented with twists on the old fashioned myself, and found that a nice mezcal (tbh I went half and half with tequila) with agave syrup and some smoked chili bitters, garnished with a lemon twist (and a slice of chili pepper) makes an amazing drink. I'm anxious to hear your take on that! Cheers

Out of everyone who is sponsored by HelloFresh I don't think I've seen anyone actually show the product before cooking. Thank you HTD. That actually makes me want to buy it a little more honestly.

I love this idea. I just wish that it was a bit more centered around base spirits with some wacky liquors thrown in.

(7:47) What was Meredith thinking? Two liqueurs in a row? You need a spirit for an Old Fashioned, not a liqueur. Is she messing with you? (9:23) It almost sounds like if you cut the schnapps in half and made up the difference with vodka, you might have something. Of if you made it a vodka Old Fashioned and used the peppermint schnapps in place of simple syrup? But -- again -- is it still an Old Fashioned?

It's funny because I was hoping you and GMM would do a Collab at some point. Edit: Also the smelling things to see if they blend is something I do often in cooking. People often look at me funny when I do it, but you have to see if they blend, and herbs and spices lose potency over time, so you may need more or less depending.

What a great episode! I'm in Wisconsin where they think old fashioneds come with muddling and mixers. I've been saying for years that this drink can be made with any spirit. And I do it in similar ways

I love this series as an idea. It's something I've recently touched upon with a friend in regards to things like Moscow Mule or a Dark and Stormy. The base drink has a concept behind it but can be executed in numerous ways.

The Old Fashioned and the Dark and Stormy are my top 2 fave cocktails, so the Gosling's Old Fashioned is hella up my ally. The next one I would try is the Mr. Black. This was awesome, Rhett and Link would be proud.

HAHA, I read the title and was like…this sounds a lot like GMM. glad to hear him address that in what were literally the first words out of his mouth. This channel appears to have more integrity than any other entertainment that I can think of. You never let us down or pull the wool over our eyes, and we love you for that ❤️

I love making a rum old fashioned. I personally enjoy el dorado 12 year as my base spirit and plain old ango for the bitters. It works so well.

Excellent work from everyone at how to drink as usual. My favorite videos are the ones that make me want to try and make the cocktail, I found none in this one but entertaining nonetheless. I turned 21 last year so I don’t have a ton of time training my palate, I would have to say old fashioned used to be my favorite because it used my favorite spirit and it was super easy. BUT! After making Craig’s favorite gin drinks it definitely turned me to where I think gin is my favorite spirit at least for mixing. My go to quick drink is now a Tom Collins with various syrups that I have made thanks to your channels help. I am currently experimenting with infusing lavender into a London dry. Around 500 ml with 4 tbsp of lavender flowers infused For about 4 hours. I feel like I’m piggybacking off of the earl grey marTEAni tbh. But here is how I have made the lavender drink. 1oz blue Berry syrup 2 oz gin 2 dash ango bitters .75 oz Lemon Shake with ice I find that it has a nice lavender flavor at the beginning a little bit of sour in the middle but not to where it overtakes the blueberries that come in at the end. It is however nothing special in my opinion, just being honest. I would be welcomed to try anyones suggestions to help me improve this cocktail. I have tried adding mint, misting the glass with a bit of Jägermeister, different bitters etc. I haven’t tried adding egg white, but it’s on my list.

I actually did this after your episode said "different spirits" with an old fashioned. I will say gin won 1st (Empress 1908), tequila 2nd (Espolon añejo), Mezcal 3rd (Del Maguey Vida), and the losers to me were actually rum with Plantation 5 year and Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva. To me the rum was just out of place with the bitters, but everyone has their tastes. All made with ang bitters, orange peel, big ice, and two bar spoons of 50/50 simple. I had the gin again with a lemon peel and preferred it over orange. Overall a very fun experiment!
