yeah yeah we are looking forward to having some uh 
relatives in town and um taking the whole trying  

22
00:02:04,980 –> 00:02:09,600
to take the whole week off between Christmas and 
New Year’s and really spend some quality time with  

23
00:02:09,600 –> 00:02:15,240
people and Evan’s birthday is Christmas Eve so 
we have extra extra celebrations this time of  

24
00:02:15,240 –> 00:02:21,660
year yeah um I try I have to I have to figure out 
so I started last year because you know when your  

25
00:02:21,660 –> 00:02:25,320
birthday’s near Christmas it’s a little bit of 
a bummer especially like when you’re younger and  

26
00:02:25,320 –> 00:02:31,260
people try to like merge the gifts together and 
kind of do the thing and um and and you know his  

27
00:02:31,260 –> 00:02:35,160
friends are never around for his birthday because 
they’re all doing family stock so he doesn’t get  

28
00:02:35,160 –> 00:02:41,160
the same birthday experience that the rest of us 
do so I I started last year because he doesn’t  

29
00:02:41,160 –> 00:02:45,540
complain about it but he makes it known that it’s 
kind of a bummer so I started hiding the Christmas  

30
00:02:45,540 –> 00:02:51,000
tree and just throwing a sheet over it but this 
year because we have these beautiful high ceilings  

31
00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:57,000
we went out into the forest and actually cut a 
10-foot Christmas tree like in the wild in the  

32
00:02:57,000 –> 00:03:01,560
wild and so but it’s a 10-fold Christmas tree and 
so I was looking at it today and I’m like how the  

33
00:03:01,560 –> 00:03:06,720
heck am I going to hide that Christmas tree for 
Christmas Eve to celebrate his birthday right so I  

34
00:03:06,720 –> 00:03:10,920
have a I have a little logistical challenge of how 
to be especially since Evan is normally the one  

35
00:03:10,920 –> 00:03:16,740
I would call on to help me figure that out yeah 
it was it was a very pleasant surprise the first  

36
00:03:16,740 –> 00:03:22,800
year that Suzanne did this uh I came downstairs 
and there was just a shroud over the Christmas  

37
00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:28,800
tree and it said happy birthday a little Banner 
in front and we started calling it The Ghost  

38
00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:33,540
of birthdays pack because it was just like this 
creepy ghost floating in the corner of the room

39
00:03:35,640 –> 00:03:36,480
doesn’t think that

40
00:03:42,060 –> 00:03:47,940
that glad you could get to see you oh Michael I 
love that you went and got a hat yes bring the  

41
00:03:47,940 –> 00:03:56,940
festivities in I love it good awesome everybody 
gets hats so I got a hat that’s right yeah and I  

42
00:03:56,940 –> 00:04:01,860
like Alex I like yours it’s almost like a Jester 
hat it has it yeah oh that’s cute I like that  

43
00:04:01,860 –> 00:04:08,220
that’s really fun what Jester Santa hat that’s 
great Evan has his reindeer ears on mostly because  

44
00:04:08,220 –> 00:04:12,600
he gets too hot and he’s got a half whereas I 
am like ooh keep me warm let’s do the Santa hat  

45
00:04:12,600 –> 00:04:16,740
all right should we get making our first cocktail 
here I don’t see why not so we can have something  

46
00:04:16,740 –> 00:04:22,740
to sip on while we while we chat holidays yeah so 
our first cocktail is honestly one of my all-time  

47
00:04:22,740 –> 00:04:28,560
favorite cocktails to make um while I’m cooking 
honestly for the holiday meals to sip on while I’m  

48
00:04:28,560 –> 00:04:33,180
cooking and also to just have ready so if guests 
arrive early because it’s super easy to make  

49
00:04:34,080 –> 00:04:40,140
um and it’s featuring Amaro um and so if you’re 
not familiar with Amaro it’s kind of it’s a bitter  

50
00:04:40,140 –> 00:04:47,100
liqueur tomorrow technically I mean not technical 
it translates to Bitter right um and so you have  

51
00:04:47,100 –> 00:04:50,520
actually some extra in here you’re only going 
to need about half of this for your two drinks  

52
00:04:51,180 –> 00:04:55,320
um and so if you wanna pour a little bit 
into a little glass and just take a little  

53
00:04:55,320 –> 00:04:58,260
sip of it first we always recommend 
if you’ve never had something before  

54
00:04:59,100 –> 00:05:03,000
um to give it a try because based on what 
it tastes like you might decide you want to  

55
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:06,420
add a little more sweetener to your cocktail 
you want to add a little bit more tartness to  

56
00:05:06,420 –> 00:05:13,380
your cocktail whatever the case may be um and 
this is kind of the full-size bottle of this  

57
00:05:13,380 –> 00:05:18,060
um Amaro that we have here and so the nice thing 
about this is it actually has a little bit of a  

58
00:05:18,060 –> 00:05:23,400
smokiness to it as well indeed that’s what the 
word means right yeah we want to meet Smokey and  

59
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:28,620
that uh characteristic of this particular model 
comes from the primary bittering agent ingredient  

60
00:05:29,520 –> 00:05:37,320
um which is uh the word below that which is and if 
you’re going to take a a shot at translating that  

61
00:05:37,320 –> 00:05:47,700
I I’d give you Kudos um but Roberto is Italian 
for Chinese rhubarb so when using Chinese rhubarb  

62
00:05:47,700 –> 00:05:52,800
as the primary bittering agent in this Amaro it 
gives us a little bit of a smoky characteristic  

63
00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:58,560
yeah so yeah amarus rumato rabararo and the 
reason we’re calling this the Santa Spritz  

64
00:05:58,560 –> 00:06:04,200
is because Amaro is really good for Digestive 
purposes to get your belly kind of in order um  

65
00:06:04,200 –> 00:06:08,700
so it’s often drink after a big meal so after you 
have your big Christmas meal having a little bit  

66
00:06:08,700 –> 00:06:13,020
of this will kind of help you digest but having 
it beforehand also helps kind of get your belly  

67
00:06:13,020 –> 00:06:19,020
ready for some overindulgence and some rich foods 
so we always like those digestive juices exactly  

68
00:06:19,020 –> 00:06:24,540
and it’s also I like to make it when I’m as a 
first cocktail or while I’m kind of making dinner  

69
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:28,980
um because it’s lower in 80 it’s lower in 
alcohol so you can sip on it for a little  

70
00:06:28,980 –> 00:06:31,560
while and not worry that you’re gonna get 
sloshed and mess up the mashed potatoes  

71
00:06:32,460 –> 00:06:37,980
um so yeah so we’re excited about this one 
one of the uh reasons why omaros and bitter  

72
00:06:37,980 –> 00:06:43,080
DJ’s thiefs and aperitifes are good at uh kind 
of waking up your digestive system is because  

73
00:06:43,080 –> 00:06:50,700
in general like biologically physiologically the 
bitter flavor in nature is generally indicative  

74
00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:57,060
of uh toxins and so so as a way to try to kind 
of break down what might potentially be harmful  

75
00:06:57,060 –> 00:07:01,560
your body tends to flood your stomach with a 
lot more stomach acid when you taste something  

76
00:07:01,560 –> 00:07:08,220
bitter as a way to kind of destroy what might 
be otherwise harmful to you if it weren’t dealt  

77
00:07:08,220 –> 00:07:16,080
with with you know stomach acid yeah so um so get 
your Morrow out of your box and your Sperry dry

78
00:07:18,600 –> 00:07:25,260
while we’re talking about cider um we’d like to 
take a pause here just to let you know about our  

79
00:07:25,260 –> 00:07:32,400
next Generation kit January’s kit is a craft cider 
tasting um we’ll be featuring Finn River cidery  

80
00:07:32,400 –> 00:07:36,480
and they are up in Washington state and so you’ll 
be getting some of these delicious ciders one of  

81
00:07:36,480 –> 00:07:41,520
them is a hot cider um so like beer it has hops 
in it and so that’s really fun one’s a Farmstead  

82
00:07:41,520 –> 00:07:46,200
kind of a traditional cider and then there’s 
a sour one that has a little bit of flavors of  

83
00:07:46,200 –> 00:07:52,860
stone fruit so some peaches yeah so this is gonna 
be a really fun box in January to do craft sailor  

84
00:07:52,860 –> 00:07:57,600
for SipScout numbers um and as always as we get 
started kind of making this first cocktail here  

85
00:07:57,600 –> 00:08:02,520
please feel free to you know whenever you have 
questions unmute yourselves interrupt us ask  

86
00:08:02,520 –> 00:08:07,740
us throw them in the chat whatever works for you 
and we can access questions about anything yeah  

87
00:08:08,820 –> 00:08:13,620
um so first off what we’re going to do 
here is we’re going to add some Amaro  

88
00:08:13,620 –> 00:08:17,340
and cider to Denise did you have a question 
I saw you on meeting yourself no you sure  

89
00:08:18,480 –> 00:08:22,440
you got to just like jump in and interrupt us 
sometimes we just kind of keep talking we’re sorry  

90
00:08:23,820 –> 00:08:29,520
um Kristen I like your Miami Christmas sweater 
oh I didn’t even see that meow me Christmas yes  

91
00:08:29,520 –> 00:08:39,360
yes that’s so cute I love it that is great very 
nice so I’m going to go ahead and add uh you know  

92
00:08:39,360 –> 00:08:45,060
between four and six ounces of The Cider actually 
I’m gonna say between four and five because I want  

93
00:08:45,060 –> 00:08:49,980
to leave and that’s at least yeah uh I want 
to leave at least a couple of ounces in here  

94
00:08:50,700 –> 00:08:57,360
um and you’ll see why for the last cocktail that 
we’re gonna do so don’t pour out all of the cider  

95
00:08:57,360 –> 00:09:03,840
into the glass for this first cocktail um and 
then we’re going to measure out a couple of I’m  

96
00:09:03,840 –> 00:09:12,240
sorry an ounce of Amaro and uh if you don’t have 
a [ __ ] at home um a tablespoon is a great way  

97
00:09:12,240 –> 00:09:18,600
to measure out yeah I’ll put that in the Trap yeah 
a half an ounce is one tablespoon so you’ll want  

98
00:09:18,600 –> 00:09:25,980
two uh tablespoons for one cocktail here and of 
course if you’re making two go ahead and double  

99
00:09:25,980 –> 00:09:30,240
it yeah if you’re making two cocktails you’ll 
almost use the full can of cider you want to  

100
00:09:30,240 –> 00:09:35,100
just leave about two ounces left in that cider 
pan um but otherwise you’ll use right about yeah  

101
00:09:36,060 –> 00:09:40,860
most of the cider um yeah and then about 
half of the Amaro and then you can have  

102
00:09:40,860 –> 00:09:45,120
the rest of the emerald to sip on before 
after some big meals like we talked about  

103
00:09:46,020 –> 00:09:50,280
or does anybody have any big meals 
that they’re excited about coming up

104
00:09:56,760 –> 00:10:01,980
Evan’s birthday being on Christmas Eve too 
because like we go big for food on Evan’s  

105
00:10:01,980 –> 00:10:05,700
birthday as well so we have like a huge 
Christmas Eve like Evan birthday dinner  

106
00:10:05,700 –> 00:10:11,040
and then Christmas it’s huge food 
again and so it’s extra extra extra

107
00:10:13,800 –> 00:10:18,540
all right and then I’m gonna add a scoop of ice to  

108
00:10:18,540 –> 00:10:23,580
this not because I’m planning on shaking 
it but because I just wanted to cool down  

109
00:10:24,480 –> 00:10:31,020
um get this nice and chilly uh and so I’m actually 
going to take the spoon here and just gently stir  

110
00:10:31,020 –> 00:10:35,820
it technically you know you can put your pinky 
up if you want swirl that around just a little  

111
00:10:35,820 –> 00:10:39,600
bit you don’t want to break up the carbonation too 
much so you don’t want to stir it too vigorously  

112
00:10:39,600 –> 00:10:45,120
when there’s carbonation at all but chilling it 
down is is nice and you know you could observe  

113
00:10:45,120 –> 00:10:49,320
this over ice we tend to chill it down in the 
cocktail shaker and serve it up straight again  

114
00:10:49,320 –> 00:10:53,580
so that the ice doesn’t keep kind of diluting 
it and making it the carbonation go flat

115
00:10:58,680 –> 00:11:05,880
all right and then I’m just gonna go ahead 
and strain it into these two waiting glasses  

116
00:11:07,140 –> 00:11:10,020
um why thank you

117
00:11:16,920 –> 00:11:24,600
and then you want to pull out your orange bitters 
um and drop a couple of dashes in there and you  

118
00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:28,380
know bitters bitters are one of those things that 
a lot of people often ask us you know man whenever  

119
00:11:28,380 –> 00:11:33,960
I made cocktails at home like my cocktails don’t 
taste like they make them at the bar and Bitters  

120
00:11:33,960 –> 00:11:38,460
and garnishes in general are one of the reasons 
why so people forget to garnish they forget to  

121
00:11:38,460 –> 00:11:42,660
add that they think oh it’s only a couple of drops 
of bitters no big deal I’m just gonna skip that  

122
00:11:42,660 –> 00:11:47,160
part it makes a big big difference and you could 
even take a sip of it before you add the drops of  

123
00:11:47,160 –> 00:11:52,080
bitters try it without it and then try it again 
after you just do like two or three little drops  

124
00:11:52,080 –> 00:12:01,320
of bitters on each one yeah in this case the 
cocktail is more about um is more about the or  

125
00:12:01,320 –> 00:12:05,220
the bitter the more about the flavor of the orange 
that’s being added yeah these are orange spinners  

126
00:12:05,760 –> 00:12:14,580
oh there isn’t one then it is for so the bitters 
Terry uh is this little bottle it’s not that  

127
00:12:14,580 –> 00:12:19,380
bottle right I think you have King Floyd’s orange 
bitters is that what you guys have in your box

128
00:12:20,820 –> 00:12:24,060
it looks more like this

129
00:12:26,940 –> 00:12:35,220
actually if you look to this camera no no bitters 
oh wait but no no we didn’t get bitters in our box  

130
00:12:35,220 –> 00:12:41,880
but we have some so we brought them out oh 
interesting yeah I didn’t considers in mine  

131
00:12:41,880 –> 00:12:51,540
either uh-oh blood orange bitters perfect 
yeah orange bitters at home that’s great

132
00:12:57,960 –> 00:13:05,640
there we go um it’s not the little blue bottle 
no the blue bottle is the foamer for the third  

133
00:13:05,640 –> 00:13:12,120
drink ah okay so they sent me a picture of 
your box and everything to approve and there  

134
00:13:12,120 –> 00:13:15,720
was definitely bitters in the picture of the box 
that I approved I’m sorry that that got left out  

135
00:13:16,320 –> 00:13:21,960
um but it sounds like a few of you have bitters 
at home I just added ones I already had open so  

136
00:13:21,960 –> 00:13:29,460
it works out fine perfect and that’s your Santa 
Spritz uh delicious while you’re preparing any  

137
00:13:29,460 –> 00:13:34,080
number of uh side dishes and main courses 
over the course of the next couple of weeks  

138
00:13:34,920 –> 00:13:40,500
and like I said it’s a really nice easy 
drink to kind of give to people as they  

139
00:13:40,500 –> 00:13:46,800
walk in the door to get the juices flowing a 
little bit and also with rich food you know  

140
00:13:46,800 –> 00:13:50,460
bitterness really helps cut through that a 
little bit it really helps you kind of yeah

141
00:13:56,100 –> 00:14:03,360
yeah very tasty yeah and the shocksberry cider 
so shacksbury is up in Vermont um they’re really  

142
00:14:03,360 –> 00:14:09,000
great they um so cider in our country if you 
remember you know maybe 10 15 years ago when  

143
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:14,280
cider started becoming popular again um it was all 
very sweet a lot of it it was Sweet Sticky kind  

144
00:14:14,280 –> 00:14:17,880
of tasted like a Jolly Rancher a lot of people 
kind of you know either loved it because they  

145
00:14:17,880 –> 00:14:22,260
like sweet things or kind of got scared Away by it 
and one of the reasons for that is because during  

146
00:14:23,100 –> 00:14:27,840
when prohibition happens so cider was one of 
the very first American drinks when you know  

147
00:14:27,840 –> 00:14:32,100
we settled this country and we were kind of 
over here making cider was very easy they  

148
00:14:32,100 –> 00:14:36,480
would just leave apples out and they would kind 
of ferment themselves we had apples all over you  

149
00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:42,060
know the the east coast and but a lot of those 
apples a lot of those trees the types of apples  

150
00:14:42,060 –> 00:14:48,720
that make this style of cider um a dryer cider 
those apples tend to be useless for pretty much  

151
00:14:48,720 –> 00:14:54,360
anything else other than making cider baking 
with them eating them raw they are so bitter  

152
00:14:54,360 –> 00:14:58,320
and so sharp that they just like make it it’s like 
biting into a crab apple if you’ve ever done that  

153
00:14:59,160 –> 00:15:05,400
um and so when prohibition hit all those apple 
trees that really couldn’t make anything other  

154
00:15:05,400 –> 00:15:08,700
than cider were kind of a waste for people and 
if that’s how they made their money previously  

155
00:15:08,700 –> 00:15:13,620
they had to rip them up plant new crops that 
they could make money off of and so we lost a  

156
00:15:13,620 –> 00:15:19,740
lot of our heirloom Heritage apple trees in this 
country they just like we lost those varieties  

157
00:15:19,740 –> 00:15:24,060
they weren’t planted again for a very long time 
and shaftesbury is doing a really cool thing  

158
00:15:24,720 –> 00:15:29,220
um because they want those dry tart super 
bitter apples to make these styles of cider  

159
00:15:29,220 –> 00:15:34,020
they are actually like they forage for apples but 
they also put a call out to the Vermont community  

160
00:15:34,020 –> 00:15:39,000
and say hey do you have a weird apple tree growing 
in your backyard or like did you see one down the  

161
00:15:39,000 –> 00:15:42,900
street when you were driving somewhere tell 
us about it please and then they go out and  

162
00:15:42,900 –> 00:15:46,440
they find these apple trees that like no one 
knows what they are they’re kind of overgrown  

163
00:15:46,440 –> 00:15:52,620
they’re being ignored and they Harvest them 
and then they also graft them onto new plants  

164
00:15:52,620 –> 00:15:56,640
so that they can bring back these heirloom kind 
of varieties and make delicious fry ciders like  

165
00:15:56,640 –> 00:16:02,880
this yeah we’ll send them in for genetic testing 
and really try to help um determine the regions  

166
00:16:02,880 –> 00:16:08,520
yeah regions where these apple trees are still 
uh primarily heirloom varietals even though that  

167
00:16:08,520 –> 00:16:14,280
Suzanne mentioned they are less and less common 
but bringing them back is a I think a very Noble  

168
00:16:14,280 –> 00:16:19,500
Endeavor in The Cider Community because each one 
the same way different grapes when you’re making  

169
00:16:19,500 –> 00:16:24,000
wine will produce different characteristics in the 
wine that’s the reason why you know a Pinot Noir  

170
00:16:24,000 –> 00:16:28,680
tastes different from a Cabernet Sauvignon each 
individual apple makes very different Fighters  

171
00:16:28,680 –> 00:16:33,660
yeah contributes different characteristics 
of the result Insider yeah absolutely so so  

172
00:16:33,660 –> 00:16:38,220
we hope you enjoy this yeah he certainly I think 
it’s quite close what do you guys think of this

173
00:16:40,440 –> 00:16:43,380
this was a little bit of a risky one for 
us to include because we know bitterness  

174
00:16:43,380 –> 00:16:47,220
can be a little polarizing for people but 
part of being a SipScout member is kind of  

175
00:16:47,220 –> 00:16:49,860
opening your palette and opening your mind 
and trying things that you might not try

176
00:16:54,000 –> 00:17:00,540
I love this cocktail but I am really sensitive 
to Bitter so I actually after tasting it a few  

177
00:17:00,540 –> 00:17:05,820
times I added a little extra cider to sweeten it 
up a little bit more for me and now it’s perfect  

178
00:17:05,820 –> 00:17:10,440
perfect and that’s exactly what you should 
do you know and actually when we first the  

179
00:17:10,440 –> 00:17:14,400
original recipe that I normally make this 
with is actually two ounces of Amaro until  

180
00:17:14,400 –> 00:17:21,720
four to six ounces of cider and when we tasted 
this specific this specific Amaro is much more  

181
00:17:21,720 –> 00:17:26,100
bitter than some and that smokiness too lends a 
different flavor so we actually cut back on the  

182
00:17:26,100 –> 00:17:30,960
Amaro ourselves even though I am a super bear 
like lover yeah the original recipe was gonna  

183
00:17:30,960 –> 00:17:36,660
be hard to receive the uh characteristic 
through the smokiness and the bitter yeah  

184
00:17:36,660 –> 00:17:43,500
again yeah Patrick could join us this evening 
but he’s a huge immoral lover um as you guys know  

185
00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:48,240
and I’m sure he’s gonna love this tomorrow 
and would like the original version I love

186
00:17:51,120 –> 00:17:56,580
Michael were you saying something no I 
just said it’s very refreshing and and it’s  

187
00:17:56,580 –> 00:18:00,120
um you know and I like I 
like the bitter as well yeah

188
00:18:01,980 –> 00:18:06,660
hey Jay let’s see that that sweater you got going  

189
00:18:06,660 –> 00:18:11,580
on there what’s happening here we’ve got 
a couple of good questions and scarf too

190
00:18:13,620 –> 00:18:21,360
oh it’s a onesie yes Merry 
Christmas man oh man that’s amazing

191
00:18:21,360 –> 00:18:27,720
I don’t know Kristen I thought you were going 
to be the winner we weren’t even having a  

192
00:18:27,720 –> 00:18:33,300
contest here and I was like in love with like a 
onesie like a cat with a red nose I don’t know  

193
00:18:34,080 –> 00:18:37,920
if there’s some good stuff here 
they both get it Chris just Applause

194
00:18:44,700 –> 00:18:52,440
hmm I was at a work holiday party today that 
had an ugly sweater party I did not win but  

195
00:18:52,440 –> 00:18:57,660
people did like it you didn’t win because 
it’s kind of a cute ugly sweater I know yeah  

196
00:18:58,680 –> 00:19:02,580
the person who won actually had bells 
on their sweater that would like jingle  

197
00:19:02,580 –> 00:19:08,880
every time she moved so not just an ugly 
sweater an ugly annoying sweater right  

198
00:19:09,840 –> 00:19:15,720
and the other person who won actually had a 
t-shirt on that said due to inflation this is my  

199
00:19:15,720 –> 00:19:21,840
ugly sweater I thought it was like you know 
a t-shirt that’s good I like it was cute  

200
00:19:22,800 –> 00:19:30,180
that’s great that that t-shirt is the new 
indicator for the market yeah Mary 2022.

201
00:19:33,180 –> 00:19:39,060
yeah well I’m glad everyone has something 
I like how the bidders in this and the  

202
00:19:39,060 –> 00:19:45,240
Amaro uh take away some of the Tang 
of the yes of The Cider that’s great  

203
00:19:46,380 –> 00:19:52,860
yeah you know as with as with food it’s uh you 
know it’s a it’s a balancing act when you’re  

204
00:19:52,860 –> 00:19:58,440
making a cocktail with a with a dish you know 
you’re generally kind of balancing elements  

205
00:19:58,440 –> 00:20:06,840
of salt and acid and fat and you know spice and 
heat um with with cocktails it’s generally sweet  

206
00:20:06,840 –> 00:20:14,280
and sour and then the warmth and the heat from the 
alcohol and then bitterness and you know sourness  

207
00:20:14,280 –> 00:20:20,700
will cause your salivary glands to start cranking 
and punching on you know a bunch of saliva  

208
00:20:21,420 –> 00:20:27,960
um the same way spice will do that with uh you 
know buffalo wings but then bitterness is drying  

209
00:20:27,960 –> 00:20:33,900
so that’s a very you know that compliment they 
complement each other very well the bitterness  

210
00:20:33,900 –> 00:20:38,700
dries your mouth out and then the acidity causes 
you to salivate kind of removing that dryness  

211
00:20:39,720 –> 00:20:46,140
um yeah yeah because good you know again a lot of 
people think of cider is just being sweet mostly  

212
00:20:46,140 –> 00:20:51,960
but dry ciders I mean apples have more tannins 
in them than grapes do and so when we think of  

213
00:20:51,960 –> 00:20:57,600
red wine with a cannon at least cider apples cider 
apples well but also because apples have tannins  

214
00:20:57,600 –> 00:21:03,360
In the Flesh and in the skin and in the seeds 
and in all parts of them whereas with grapes the  

215
00:21:03,360 –> 00:21:08,400
tannins only exist in the skins and so that’s 
why red wines are tannic but white wines are  

216
00:21:08,400 –> 00:21:13,500
not and so you can get that it can the dry ciders 
especially can be a little overpowering for some  

217
00:21:13,500 –> 00:21:18,420
with the Cannons and that you know fascinating 
thing if you ever have an opportunity to try a  

218
00:21:18,420 –> 00:21:25,260
cider apple um the bitterness and the tartness 
you know likely will be pretty overwhelming and  

219
00:21:25,260 –> 00:21:31,320
make it borderline and edible um fun fact though 
keep in mind that the sugar level in that apple  

220
00:21:31,320 –> 00:21:37,140
is pretty comparable to any grocery store Apple 
you’ll find the gala apple a big lady Apple the  

221
00:21:37,140 –> 00:21:41,580
sugarness is pretty much the same across the 
board it’s just whether or not and how how much  

222
00:21:41,580 –> 00:21:47,580
bittering component and sour component it has 
to complement that in the apple and oftentimes  

223
00:21:47,580 –> 00:21:53,760
it’s so much that you don’t even really taste 
the sweetness pretty cool I haven’t forgotten  

224
00:21:53,760 –> 00:21:58,980
very into cider and apples yeah since he’s met 
me you’re welcome you’re welcome you’re welcome

239
00:23:36,780 –> 00:23:41,280

kind of decorate and feel cozy since the tree

240
00:23:45,000 –> 00:23:48,720
Jay what about you what are your holiday plans

00:24:00,960 –> 00:24:04,620
um let’s see this weekend I’m actually 
gonna go down to Portland and hang out  

244
00:24:04,620 –> 00:24:08,760
with my cousin and then um I’ve got 
a few days and I’m flying to Chicago  

245
00:24:10,200 –> 00:24:15,780
um or I’m gonna see that side of the family 
and um I’m looking to get that nice Jolly belly  

246
00:24:15,780 –> 00:24:21,360
eating all that Chicago Food yeah yeah just 
bring along some of Morrow you’ll be you’ll be  

247
00:24:22,440 –> 00:24:28,740
you’ll be in ready for more eating yeah 
this is good uh some good research for  

248
00:24:28,740 –> 00:24:34,560
some family holiday drinks and stuff like that 
perfect excellent there’s some good meal prep  

249
00:24:34,560 –> 00:24:39,960
that we’re going through here I like it yeah the 
first couple I think are pretty straightforward  

250
00:24:39,960 –> 00:24:46,440
and and uh fitting for the holiday season but 
also um you can whip them up in a Flash easy  

251
00:24:46,440 –> 00:24:50,940
to make uh and then the third one is a little 
more involved a little more involved and kind  

252
00:24:50,940 –> 00:24:57,000
of impressive yes that’s the one to go with 
yeah yeah in Chicago at Christmas I bet is  

253
00:24:57,000 –> 00:25:03,840
great we were there kind of that winter around 
yeah although or yeah go into the Chris Kindle  

254
00:25:03,840 –> 00:25:09,820
Market was quick oh yeah that is fun the German 
kind of yeah having some some glue wine [Music]  

255
00:25:11,460 –> 00:25:15,960
are we ready to move on to our sure 
so I could drink our Palm Prancer  

256
00:25:17,460 –> 00:25:21,180
we had fun naming these cocktails 
we did we apparently really like  

257
00:25:21,180 –> 00:25:24,960
alliterations they’re all they’re all 
alliterations alliterations always

258
00:25:27,540 –> 00:25:33,720
so the palm prints are really kind of celebrates 
the flavors of the Season yeah um pomegranate  

259
00:25:33,720 –> 00:25:40,020
Apple um orange right all of those things kind of 
coming together and really are wondering season  

260
00:25:40,020 –> 00:25:44,880
right now so and it’s also beautiful and you get 
to play with your decorating skills a little bit  

261
00:25:44,880 –> 00:25:50,940
indeed um so the first thing that we’re going 
to do in preparation for making this cocktail  

262
00:25:50,940 –> 00:25:54,600
is we’re using a rocks glass by the way yes 
we’re using the rock stars and we’re going  

263
00:25:54,600 –> 00:26:01,260
to be preparing our glassware for the cocktail um 
in general you always want to make sure that your  

264
00:26:01,260 –> 00:26:06,420
glassware is ready to go before you start making 
the cocktail because the worst thing that you can  

265
00:26:06,420 –> 00:26:11,220
have happen is you begin making the cocktail and 
you get to the end and you’re ready to go and you  

266
00:26:11,220 –> 00:26:17,640
look around and oh gosh I forgot to you know pull 
the martini glasses out of the freezer so there’s  

267
00:26:17,640 –> 00:26:23,820
a nice cold glass for the drink to be made in 
or I needed to put a rim on it uh because you  

268
00:26:23,820 –> 00:26:29,580
can’t put a rim on it after there’s liquid in the 
glass um so comparing your glassware before you  

269
00:26:29,580 –> 00:26:35,100
start making any kind of cocktail is really an 
important First Step yeah um and I’m just gonna  

270
00:26:35,100 –> 00:26:39,120
switch cameras for a minute I don’t know if you 
guys noticed but we have a cocktail cam going on  

271
00:26:39,120 –> 00:26:43,320
here too that you can pin for yourself at any 
time but I’ll just kind of show you here while  

272
00:26:43,320 –> 00:26:52,740
Evan is lemon juice sure thank you so yeah 
you can see here this uh this [ __ ] sugar  

273
00:26:54,600 –> 00:26:58,800
um and we’re gonna just kind of 
moisten the side of the glass  

274
00:26:59,460 –> 00:27:07,080
as a way to get the [ __ ] sugar to adhere to 
the side of the box and so you can do this by

275
00:27:13,200 –> 00:27:17,700
by but basically you want to kind of get the side 
of the glass and you’ll see he’s doing it on the  

276
00:27:17,700 –> 00:27:22,680
side of the glass A lot of people think you’re 
just going to do it on the rim up here but really  

277
00:27:22,680 –> 00:27:27,120
you want to kind of do it down the side of the 
glass partially because it’s beautiful that way  

278
00:27:27,840 –> 00:27:31,500
um but also that way you can just kind of 
do half of the glass and make it really  

279
00:27:31,500 –> 00:27:36,000
pretty and then kind of that side when you 
want a little bit of that sugar and then  

280
00:27:36,000 –> 00:27:40,200
still have the other half of the glass when 
you want to try it without that extra sugar  

281
00:27:41,700 –> 00:27:46,920
yeah especially if you’re sharing this cocktail 
with someone you might like it sweeping somebody  

282
00:27:46,920 –> 00:27:53,400
might not or with Margaritas some people like salt 
some people don’t know yeah and personally for me  

283
00:27:53,400 –> 00:27:58,320
with Margaritas yeah it’s you know from one sip 
to the next I’ve just kind of choose that off do I  

284
00:27:58,320 –> 00:28:03,240
want the salt or anything and so you can see here 
you know the sugar is kind of going down the side

285
00:28:05,520 –> 00:28:06,000
yeah

286
00:28:08,400 –> 00:28:13,020
the one thing that uh I guess I guess 
you got to be careful about if you’re  

287
00:28:13,020 –> 00:28:20,220
doing this out with a group of people um 
is then you’re licking decided enough like  

288
00:28:20,760 –> 00:28:26,160
you better know him real well yeah um especially 
in our post coma times although we always  

289
00:28:26,700 –> 00:28:37,500
half joke not really the alcohol kill so yeah um 
so the next step here is you’re going to mix uh  

290
00:28:37,500 –> 00:28:44,400
the ingredients together the instructions that 
you can see um in your SipScout report indicate  

291
00:28:44,400 –> 00:28:49,800
mixing in the glass which you can do which you 
certainly can do and especially if you have a  

292
00:28:49,800 –> 00:28:55,200
nice big Ice Cube if you meet a nice big ice cube 
using the mold that was sent you can certainly do  

293
00:28:55,200 –> 00:29:03,660
that but uh chilling the cocktail down before 
you add it into the glass um is also a really  

294
00:29:03,660 –> 00:29:09,420
nice option because the cocktail will last longer 
it’s already chilled down to ice temperature and  

295
00:29:09,420 –> 00:29:15,120
so the purpose of the ice that’s uh in the glass 
which is the next step of prepping your glassware  

296
00:29:16,140 –> 00:29:21,060
um is simply to keep it cold it’s not trying 
to cool the cocktail down and I think Suzanne’s  

297
00:29:21,060 –> 00:29:27,180
grabbing our ice creams right now career if 
you have your large ice cube get it in there

298
00:29:29,580 –> 00:29:32,820
did you guys play with your eyes molds and 
make a large ice cube or do you already have  

299
00:29:34,440 –> 00:29:37,620
ice molds at home to make large ice 
cubes with they’re quite helpful

300
00:29:41,280 –> 00:29:48,300
I have ice cubes that stick together oh 
I guess I guess three ice cubes stuck  

301
00:29:48,300 –> 00:29:53,640
together is almost like a large ice cube 
I have a new refrigerator that actually  

302
00:29:53,640 –> 00:29:59,460
makes large ice cubes oh man very cool 
fancy I didn’t even know that was a thing  

303
00:30:00,300 –> 00:30:08,340
yeah LG cool yeah that’s a nice one there 
they call it craft ice craft ice after the  

304
00:30:08,340 –> 00:30:16,020
K I think I’ve seen that craft is as in as in 
with the c oh is it in Korea where they make it  

305
00:30:16,020 –> 00:30:23,520
uh yeah um Jay is that was that an actual 
ice or was that uh like smeared Chiller thing

306
00:30:25,740 –> 00:30:30,900
no it’s actually it’s actually an ice maker 
in in the LG refrigerator that actually  

307
00:30:30,900 –> 00:30:39,540
makes craft ice that makes cubes this size 
about the same size as as your mold foreign

308
00:30:47,160 –> 00:30:53,340
so go ahead and add the uh 
equal parts of the calda dose  

309
00:30:54,240 –> 00:30:59,040
um which if you are unfamiliar 
calvidos is an apple Brandy  

310
00:31:00,060 –> 00:31:07,140
um and this one comes from the northern part of 
France uh in Normandy actually uh cavados is a  

311
00:31:07,140 –> 00:31:14,940
region that is designated and recognized by the 
European Union for production of Calvados this  

312
00:31:14,940 –> 00:31:21,780
particular one is a fine Calvados which holds 
the lowest aging requirement and as a result  

313
00:31:21,780 –> 00:31:29,160
has the brightest Apple characteristic that you 
see of the different Calvados aging limitations  

314
00:31:30,240 –> 00:31:39,720
um but really adds some very nice flavor to 
it um and then go ahead and add on your uh  

315
00:31:40,680 –> 00:31:45,480
your pomegranate liqueur this 
is a producer called Fair drinks  

316
00:31:46,080 –> 00:31:53,400
um and fair drinks is all about sourcing their 
materials in a fair practice um you know having  

317
00:31:53,400 –> 00:31:57,960
equal and fair wages for the employees that 
are are different in this case the pomegranate  

318
00:31:58,800 –> 00:32:04,140
um in some cases it’s it’s quinoa in some 
cases it’s coffee in some cases it’s mango  

319
00:32:04,980 –> 00:32:14,160
um but really great company uh and delicious 
products delicious products they have a kumquat  

320
00:32:14,160 –> 00:32:19,920
liqueur yeah that’s fantastic really yeah 
yeah I saw Kristen say something before yum

321
00:32:21,960 –> 00:32:24,360
um and so if you are gonna 
be cooling it off before

322
00:32:27,900 –> 00:32:32,520
adding it to your glass instead 
of pouring it into the glass um

323
00:32:34,740 –> 00:32:39,180
anytime you’re chilling a beverage you 
want to make sure that there’s lots of  

324
00:32:39,180 –> 00:32:44,220
ice in the vessel that you’re doing often 
and this is in an effort to cool it off  

325
00:32:44,220 –> 00:32:50,520
before it begins diluting past the point 
that you want it to so as you can see  

326
00:32:52,200 –> 00:32:58,200
this is kind of default filled like right up 
to the top with ice despite the fact that um  

327
00:32:58,200 –> 00:33:06,000
the liquid level was only down about a third up to 
the top and just kind of rock that back and forth

328
00:33:06,960 –> 00:33:18,240
he makes like figure eights in there and 
you can see it’s not really moving if you  

329
00:33:18,240 –> 00:33:21,600
if you do that if yeah if you just go in 
circles the ice just spins around itself  

330
00:33:21,600 –> 00:33:25,860
versus if you kind of rock it you’re creating 
payoffs and you’re making the ice go through  

331
00:33:25,860 –> 00:33:30,840
the liquid in all different directions and again 
cooling it down faster a lot of them dilating it

332
00:33:32,940 –> 00:33:35,280
um now something that

333
00:33:37,380 –> 00:33:45,540
logistically didn’t uh work to be able to include 
in this um but really can help set it off a little  

334
00:33:45,540 –> 00:33:50,700
bit is actually putting fresh pomegranate juice 
in here as well probably going to juice is really  

335
00:33:50,700 –> 00:33:56,460
just not shelf stable and shipping it not as 
such didn’t make uh didn’t make us comfortable  

336
00:33:57,360 –> 00:34:01,620
um but adding a little bit of just like a splash 
though right a little bit of pomegranate juice  

337
00:34:01,620 –> 00:34:08,160
can really help again keep the balance with 
this cocktail in check with the tannins that  

338
00:34:08,160 –> 00:34:14,700
you get from pomegranate juice um that are not as 
easy to translate into the actual articula itself  

339
00:34:14,700 –> 00:34:20,160
and if you had a pomegranate handy you could 
certainly put some fresh pomegranate on top  

340
00:34:20,160 –> 00:34:22,500
of your drink as a garnish which 
would be beautiful as well you know  

341
00:34:23,580 –> 00:34:27,840
and a little bit of orange bitters that’s right 
a little more a little bit of orange bitters to  

342
00:34:27,840 –> 00:34:32,880
round out the holiday flavorings and again 
taste it before you put the bitters in taste  

343
00:34:32,880 –> 00:34:35,700
it after you put the bitters in especially 
if you guys have orange bitters I’m sorry if  

344
00:34:35,700 –> 00:34:41,400
any of you don’t have any at home again but 
it does really make quite a big difference  

345
00:34:42,540 –> 00:34:46,200
um to kind of have it and if you don’t have 
orange bitters at home but you have an orange  

346
00:34:46,200 –> 00:34:50,400
just do a little orange zest maybe over it you 
know or Express a little more detail actually  

347
00:34:50,400 –> 00:34:56,580
is what I mean I’m more excessive yeah take 
a take a potato peeler and hold the potato  

348
00:34:56,580 –> 00:35:03,000
peeler steady and turn the orange and peel off 
just a little layer of the zest size yeah I put  

349
00:35:03,000 –> 00:35:07,380
the orange side facing away over your glass and 
just kind of squeeze it right in half and drop it  

350
00:35:07,380 –> 00:35:16,200
in watch the oils blast out of there and kind of 
bring this to life in yet another way yeah cheers

351
00:35:18,720 –> 00:35:20,760
I love Jay’s wonder if it just makes me do the one

352
00:35:24,840 –> 00:35:25,080
whenever

353
00:35:27,780 –> 00:35:31,320
so this is a little stronger you’ll 
notice it’s kind of stepping it up a  

354
00:35:31,320 –> 00:35:37,080
little bit from our appetizers pre-drink 
right um but this is really lovely again  

355
00:35:37,080 –> 00:35:40,860
a little bit of that tartness a little bit of 
that you know with some of the rich foods and  

356
00:35:41,640 –> 00:35:48,060
appetizers and deliciousness definitely yeah 
this is one that uh what might be might be  

357
00:35:48,060 –> 00:35:52,380
good for the cocktail hour is the previous 
one would be good while you’re cooking

358
00:35:54,780 –> 00:35:59,400
sitting on the fireplace it’s important to have 
drinks for every every stage of the mean okay  

359
00:35:59,400 –> 00:36:06,420
which Christmas Carol does this one though yes 
I would say The Holly And The Ivy that’s mine

360
00:36:08,700 –> 00:36:16,260
you know why it’s a bad greedy a fan there’s great 
the red and the green the red and the green yes  

361
00:36:16,260 –> 00:36:18,660
what do you guys think of this one

362
00:36:26,580 –> 00:36:32,160
resounding endorsements around don’t 
be shy on us we’re all friends here

363
00:36:34,320 –> 00:36:41,160
um this one almost makes me think of like almost 
like a holiday old-fashioned you know I mean like  

364
00:36:41,160 –> 00:36:45,480
I know like an old-fashioned is you know whiskey 
and Bitters and sugar but like especially with a  

365
00:36:45,480 –> 00:36:50,160
little bit of sugar rim and it’s just like instead 
it’s just the Apple Brandy instead of the whiskey  

366
00:36:50,160 –> 00:36:55,980
and then a little bit because I feel like brandy 
was a common use case in early old fashioned  

367
00:36:55,980 –> 00:37:02,220
and you’ve got the bittering component of the 
pomegranate yeah and while the bitters as well

368
00:37:05,160 –> 00:37:05,160
um

369
00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:14,880
yeah I like that it’s a little bit more Spirit 
heavy yeah yeah and um I just put a little bit  

370
00:37:14,880 –> 00:37:20,880
of uh just just a tiny little dash of vanilla 
extract in it too just to put a little uh  

371
00:37:21,780 –> 00:37:26,100
uh holiday cheering to it a little 
bit more than what’s already there

372
00:37:28,200 –> 00:37:32,580
yeah but I love I love the color 
I love the color and I love the  

373
00:37:33,540 –> 00:37:39,300
um just the the presentation of this I mean this 
will be this is a great you know Christmas sort  

374
00:37:39,300 –> 00:37:43,980
of drink yeah and like how do they how do 
they get the sugar to be green like this

375
00:37:43,980 –> 00:37:58,320
yeah now this one is this this one we found 
is an all-natural one it is uh I’m not sure  

376
00:37:58,320 –> 00:38:02,220
where the green color comes from I mean 
that makes more common I would say that  

377
00:38:02,220 –> 00:38:07,740
green is more commonly found in nature than 
like blue yeah hard to make blue for me yeah  

378
00:38:08,940 –> 00:38:14,520
but yeah um yeah you get all these running sugars 
they have on Amazon they have all different colors  

379
00:38:14,520 –> 00:38:18,240
of running sugars they also have something that’s 
really cool that I have not looked into how they  

380
00:38:18,240 –> 00:38:22,560
do this or what the actual ingredients are yet 
but there’s things you can drop in your drink so  

381
00:38:22,560 –> 00:38:28,080
we basically get a red one for this and you drop 
it in your drink and it makes it like iridescent  

382
00:38:28,080 –> 00:38:35,880
and like almost like a lava lampy like wow and 
it looks just beautiful but I have to imagine  

383
00:38:35,880 –> 00:38:39,780
it’s like chemicals up the onesie to be able 
to make that sparkly goodness happen in there  

384
00:38:41,160 –> 00:38:46,680
what’s that what do you got there we do have a 
little pot of pomegranate juice oh yeah we have  

385
00:38:46,680 –> 00:38:54,840
a neighbor who has a pomegranate tree and he I 
don’t know if he gifted us or if he offloaded yeah  

386
00:38:54,840 –> 00:39:00,360
I kind of feel like he was like funny I don’t know 
what to do with all these I have too many yeah so  

387
00:39:00,360 –> 00:39:06,900
we got like two shopping bags full of pomegranates 
and we were like excited but also like oh man  

388
00:39:06,900 –> 00:39:11,280
that’s a lot of freaking work what are we supposed 
to do with all these psalmers and Evans because  

389
00:39:11,280 –> 00:39:18,780
Evan’s like the the um what’s the word when you’re 
very focused on like small details he he like he  

390
00:39:18,780 –> 00:39:23,580
likes projects like that and so one day he just 
like put a movie on and he just sat in front in  

391
00:39:23,580 –> 00:39:28,680
our living room with pomegranates mind you I trust 
him a lot and he sat at the coffee table and just  

392
00:39:28,680 –> 00:39:33,840
opened all the pomegranates and got all the seeds 
out and it took him like three hours yeah it was  

393
00:39:33,840 –> 00:39:39,240
a little bit of an involved project but then we 
put the pomegranate seeds in a blender and if  

394
00:39:39,240 –> 00:39:43,560
you wore them up with a little water or no just 
that’s right and if you were them up you can make  

395
00:39:43,560 –> 00:39:47,640
your own pomegranate juice it just turns into 
like you strain it afterwards but it makes like  

396
00:39:47,640 –> 00:39:52,860
really fresh pomegranages and then you understand 
why pomegranate juice is expensive because it’s a  

397
00:39:52,860 –> 00:40:00,540
real pain in the butt but that’s right I’m glad 
you remembered we had that oh that’s pretty nice

398
00:40:02,580 –> 00:40:05,760
and as the pomegranate juice sits in 
your fridge it will start to kind of  

399
00:40:05,760 –> 00:40:10,500
self-ferment a little bit pineapple juice 
does as well anything really well I mean I  

400
00:40:10,500 –> 00:40:14,040
feel like apple juice I guess because those 
are all pasteurized and like flash whatever  

401
00:40:14,040 –> 00:40:18,480
but pineapple juice and pomegranate juice in 
particular if you kind of leave it in your  

402
00:40:18,480 –> 00:40:22,260
fridge for a while and you open the thing 
you’ll like kind of pop and it starts to

403
00:40:27,360 –> 00:40:27,840
cool

404
00:40:33,000 –> 00:40:40,860
all right what holiday movie should we be watching 
does anyone want I’ve been kind of binging these a  

405
00:40:40,860 –> 00:40:44,580
little bit but I’ve been binging the crap ones 
the like Netflix and Hulu like brand new ones  

406
00:40:45,120 –> 00:40:51,480
what are the classics that we vote for uh I 
think one of the new Classics is a one called  

407
00:40:51,480 –> 00:40:57,480
uh Claws and it’s actually a Netflix produced 
one and it came out I want to say two years ago  

408
00:40:58,200 –> 00:41:06,000
but I think it’s probably the best Christmas movie 
in the last two decades and I say that because it  

409
00:41:06,000 –> 00:41:15,720
captures that like innocent magic of the Christmas 
season without being sort of like uh sarcastic or  

410
00:41:15,720 –> 00:41:23,340
cynical and so it’s just like it’s old-timey so 
and it’s a cartoonist it’s also made by an Italian  

411
00:41:23,340 –> 00:41:28,500
company that also has some other stuff that 
they’ve done but it’s absolutely awesome is this  

412
00:41:28,500 –> 00:41:33,840
the one about the postal station like up in the 
North Pole I saw that it was really good at first  

413
00:41:33,840 –> 00:41:37,860
I was a little like this feels a little dark but 
it really it was really quite nice you’re right  

414
00:41:38,880 –> 00:41:50,700
speaking of dark oh we’ve fallen into watching 
two Christmas movies that um we’re not really  

415
00:41:50,700 –> 00:41:54,600
sure what it was about the description that 
caused us to start watching them and after  

416
00:41:54,600 –> 00:42:00,660
having watched them for about 15 minutes we were 
like really sure what was going on but we knew we  

417
00:42:00,660 –> 00:42:05,820
needed to keep watching it um why we watch them 
is because I feel like Evan indulges me in my I  

418
00:42:05,820 –> 00:42:11,400
am a Christmas crazy like I love Christmas and I 
live like want Christmas all the time and because  

419
00:42:11,400 –> 00:42:16,860
he’s a Christmas Eve baby he does not feel the 
same and so he indulges me a little bit by like  

420
00:42:16,860 –> 00:42:20,940
turning on Christmas movies and so I feel a little 
bad because I know I’m crazy about it and so I try  

421
00:42:20,940 –> 00:42:26,040
to indulge him by being open to like die hard 
which is not a Christmas movie and like crap  

422
00:42:26,040 –> 00:42:33,000
like that and so Wendy but so when these came up 
and they were like kind of weird I was just like  

423
00:42:33,900 –> 00:42:41,100
okay it’s a Christmas movie I guess let’s try it 
out and then go ahead thank you oh well yeah they  

424
00:42:41,100 –> 00:42:46,260
I mean that’s you they definitely are a little 
uh on the dark side but fascinating intriguing  

425
00:42:46,920 –> 00:42:52,620
um one from like a cultural perspective because 
one was Scandinavian yes uh I believe Finnish  

426
00:42:52,620 –> 00:42:56,160
and we don’t honestly watch International 
movies that much because we’re in front of  

427
00:42:56,160 –> 00:43:01,080
our computer all day and I’m like I don’t want to 
read when I’m relaxing but so yes it is subtitled  

428
00:43:01,620 –> 00:43:06,660
oh yeah I’m gonna make one of those days oh yeah 
I’m definitely making one that’s the Die Hard  

429
00:43:06,660 –> 00:43:13,020
that’s the coolest idea ever I really love that 
yeah um but what was that one called uh that one  

430
00:43:13,020 –> 00:43:21,720
was called rare exports and it’s about the Santa 
that doesn’t doesn’t bring uh Toys to good kids  

431
00:43:21,720 –> 00:43:27,600
he like snatches the bad kids in the night and 
like eats them you know and it’s not like like  

432
00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:31,800
it’s not him eating kids it’s not about that 
but it’s that the version of Santa that they’re  

433
00:43:31,800 –> 00:43:38,700
kind of portraying in this and um it’s pretty 
fascinating but it’s also not a horror movie  

434
00:43:38,700 –> 00:43:44,280
either like it’s kind of like leans that way yeah 
it’s Brusque and raw but it’s not like yeah it’s  

435
00:43:44,280 –> 00:43:48,060
not a horror movie it was honestly like one of 
those movies it’s a Christmas movie but one of  

436
00:43:48,060 –> 00:43:51,360
those movies that like we were both like sitting 
forward the whole time and like after 20 minutes  

437
00:43:51,360 –> 00:43:56,820
oh we need to take a break for a minute like this 
is intense it was really good it was very good uh  

438
00:43:56,820 –> 00:44:01,920
and then the other one was called fat man and 
that’s with Mel Gibson I think his first foray  

439
00:44:01,920 –> 00:44:07,680
back into acting in a while quite a while yeah 
and he and he was amazing it took me almost an  

440
00:44:07,680 –> 00:44:12,240
hour and all of a sudden I was like is that 
Mel Gibson like it’s like he’s very good yeah  

441
00:44:13,380 –> 00:44:18,540
um but that’s a fun one too that’s more about like 
the exploitation of Christmas and like you know  

442
00:44:18,540 –> 00:44:24,000
almost like Santa and his elves are kind of like 
almost like like commercial slaves and like you  

443
00:44:24,000 –> 00:44:31,800
know like so um those are not my top movies but 
those were very interesting fascinating portrayals  

444
00:44:31,800 –> 00:44:40,260
of the Christmas time this is the second spirited 
have you seen that one spirited I feel like I’ve  

445
00:44:40,260 –> 00:44:45,360
heard of it I’m not sure if I’ve seen it we 
should work that into oh yeah it is yeah we  

446
00:44:45,360 –> 00:44:54,960
should make a spirited Christmas that’s right 
yeah cheers yes cheers what’s that Jay silent  

447
00:44:54,960 –> 00:45:02,580
night is that what it says it’s it’s the sequel 
to uh Silent Night deadly night but it’s part two

448
00:45:05,640 –> 00:45:12,120
it’s a low budget 80s Christmas movie 
and it’s full of cheese but it’s  

449
00:45:12,720 –> 00:45:19,380
the great thing about a good cheesy movie is they 
do it in a sincere way and it ends up flopping on  

450
00:45:19,380 –> 00:45:26,460
its face and you laugh at its uh foibles and 
and that’s what this movie is that’s great  

451
00:45:26,460 –> 00:45:31,800
it’s an interesting sub-genre the Christmas 
terror movie I didn’t even know it existed  

452
00:45:31,800 –> 00:45:35,400
until this year and actually it’s either Hulu 
or Netflix I forget which one but they have a  

453
00:45:35,400 –> 00:45:44,820
whole row of Christmas horror so weird one 
of them is uh violent night violent night

454
00:45:46,860 –> 00:45:54,840
it stars the guy that was in the uh um uh 
the uh the series with the the young girl  

455
00:45:55,920 –> 00:46:01,860
um and it’s it’s pretty violent 
and the title would suggest yeah  

456
00:46:02,820 –> 00:46:07,920
it’s funny because I was I’m very anti like 
the movie Bad Santa I like hated because like  

457
00:46:07,920 –> 00:46:13,980
I love Christmas and Bad Santa was just like 
grossness and negativity around Christmas but  

458
00:46:13,980 –> 00:46:18,780
the horror Christmas ones I’m kind 
of okay with they’re kind of weird  

459
00:46:18,780 –> 00:46:24,600
yeah I mean it is interesting like the finished 
one in particular that that is the Santa that they  

460
00:46:24,600 –> 00:46:33,660
no not in here culturally for many many years he’s 
called Krampus I believe yes yeah I think Krampus  

461
00:46:33,660 –> 00:46:38,400
is the term for this yeah you’re getting some 
knots people know crap evil Saint Nicholas yeah  

462
00:46:39,060 –> 00:46:46,740
that means you were holding out all day yeah yeah 
Krampus you should have won for Sound Engineering  

463
00:46:46,740 –> 00:46:52,860
for at the Academy Awards but like for whatever 
reason horror movies are always passed over for  

464
00:46:52,860 –> 00:46:57,060
like the technical stuff even though that 
technically they do things probably better  

465
00:46:57,060 –> 00:47:05,100
than the winners yeah and so if you watch Krampus 
again watch it in 7.1 and just listen for that  

466
00:47:05,100 –> 00:47:10,860
that that’s that hurricane of chaos that’s around 
it okay okay cool you know honestly I didn’t even  

467
00:47:10,860 –> 00:47:16,080
realize that there was a movie of that name 
uh I just know that like the Scandinavian  

468
00:47:16,920 –> 00:47:23,100
Saint Nick is this evil version called 
Krampus I’m definitely intrigued now yeah

469
00:47:25,620 –> 00:47:33,240
what’s that oh that looks like exactly who you’re 
talking about that’s Krampus that’s Krampus he’s  

470
00:47:33,240 –> 00:47:38,940
got the kids laughing he’s got the cat the 
kids in handcuffs wait Hold On Together stay  

471
00:47:38,940 –> 00:47:42,900
there for a second I’m just gonna Spotlight 
because that’s a cool visual that’s Krampus

472
00:47:44,100 –> 00:47:56,460
to be it so yeah that was given to us 
as a Christmas card Merry Christmas

473
00:47:58,620 –> 00:48:06,600
from a Scandinavian individual not 
really a neighbor oh that’s right

474
00:48:08,640 –> 00:48:13,440
are you ready to get creative with our 
third drink yeah take it up a notch now  

475
00:48:13,440 –> 00:48:16,260
that now that you have some alcohol in you 
we’re gonna make you do this slightly harder  

476
00:48:16,260 –> 00:48:25,080
one we’re going to test your motor skills now 
so this one is a has a few steps involved and  

477
00:48:25,980 –> 00:48:33,660
um I would encourage you to follow 
along um but to not get ahead yeah  

478
00:48:35,400 –> 00:48:39,840
um although I will say just we’re building this up 
a little bit because the speed foamer this little  

479
00:48:39,840 –> 00:48:43,800
blue bottle is one of the things you’re going to 
use in here normally this replaces an egg white  

480
00:48:43,800 –> 00:48:48,960
essentially so if you have an exit home and you 
want to do this with an egg white feel free we  

481
00:48:48,960 –> 00:48:54,540
can talk about that definitely um but that makes 
it more involved is the egg white is a big part of  

482
00:48:54,540 –> 00:48:59,880
it that certainly we’ve made it a little easier 
for yeah and this is something that would make  

483
00:48:59,880 –> 00:49:05,400
it easier if you were planning on making these 
through the course of the holidays as well as you  

484
00:49:05,400 –> 00:49:12,420
know as opposed to egg white each time um we’ll 
show you what the bottle is you can actually buy  

485
00:49:12,420 –> 00:49:16,440
this on Amazon so you can use an egg white in 
this cocktail or you can use something called  

486
00:49:16,440 –> 00:49:21,840
aquafaba which is the liquid that’s left over at 
the bottom of a can of chickpeas so instead of  

487
00:49:21,840 –> 00:49:26,520
dumping that down the drain we would recommend 
pouring that juice in an ice tray freezing it  

488
00:49:26,520 –> 00:49:30,120
into a little aquafaba ice cubes and then when 
you want to make drinks you just thaw one of  

489
00:49:30,120 –> 00:49:36,600
those out and that’s essentially the same as using 
one egg white or a drink um and then they’re this  

490
00:49:36,600 –> 00:49:41,880
other approach which is what’s in your little blue 
bottle it’s called fifoamer it’s by fee Brothers  

491
00:49:42,720 –> 00:49:45,840
um and they have other you know other brands 
of this as well the few Brothers is a very  

492
00:49:45,840 –> 00:49:52,680
well-known reputable brand and it’s basically 
a synthetic yeah um version of a foaming agent  

493
00:49:52,680 –> 00:50:02,340
it’s um Listerine or yeah propylene glycol right 
glycol so it’s basically an alcohol sugar that  

494
00:50:02,340 –> 00:50:07,860
creates this viscosity of surface tension that 
allows you to have foam without really without  

495
00:50:07,860 –> 00:50:13,260
egg whites without having to eat without chickpea 
juice without having to work um so it’s kind of  

496
00:50:13,260 –> 00:50:17,640
it’s kind of cool because it’s foam drinks are 
very fun yeah indeed they look pretty too and  

497
00:50:17,640 –> 00:50:25,020
we’re going to make this one look even prettier 
yeah you may have noticed in your box uh a stencil

498
00:50:25,680 –> 00:50:35,280
as well as yeah and actually you should prep that 
first this little guy yeah yeah this dusting wand  

499
00:50:35,280 –> 00:50:42,960
uh is also included in there and then there should 
be a packet of cinnamon sugar cinnamon sugar um  

500
00:50:42,960 –> 00:50:48,180
right there where the green reaming sugar from the 
previous cocktail is located and so basically you  

501
00:50:48,180 –> 00:50:54,420
just want to push the bottom of your thing open 
up your sifter or the cinnamon sugar in there and  

502
00:50:54,420 –> 00:50:58,740
then set it aside until you’re ready for that step 
we’re going to channel your inner Barista tonight  

503
00:50:58,740 –> 00:51:07,860
yes um may I uh trouble you for the glassware oh 
sure I mean I can’t drink it straight over Seafood

504
00:51:12,840 –> 00:51:18,120
no all right if I also if you don’t Bob Christmas  

505
00:51:18,120 –> 00:51:22,860
you don’t have that if you have one of 
these Bob and Kristen one of these um

506
00:51:26,700 –> 00:51:32,340
yeah you can use that to dust some cinnamon over 
on top of your cocktail when you’re done too  

507
00:51:34,200 –> 00:51:41,220
sure no I don’t think so that’s true um okay 
let’s get started with the recipe itself  

508
00:51:42,120 –> 00:51:49,020
um we are going to add the ingredients to this 
uh Shaker tin and just to make sure that this is  

509
00:51:49,020 –> 00:51:56,160
clear there should not be any ice in your cocktail 
shaker right now um and that’s true whenever  

510
00:51:56,160 –> 00:52:00,000
you’re making any cocktail you don’t want to put 
the ice pie first and then make the cocktail on  

511
00:52:00,000 –> 00:52:04,500
top of the ice because the whole time it’s melting 
and it’s watering down your cocktails you always  

512
00:52:04,500 –> 00:52:08,760
put the ice in last right but for this it’s 
particularly important yeah so the ice is meant  

513
00:52:08,760 –> 00:52:12,660
to cool the cocktail down as we were discussing 
earlier as well as dilute it but you want to be  

514
00:52:12,660 –> 00:52:17,580
in control of the dilution so if everything is in 
there uh if the ice isn’t it from the beginning  

515
00:52:17,580 –> 00:52:22,440
the ice begins to melt and then as you’re slowly 
measuring and adding things the ice is melting and  

516
00:52:22,440 –> 00:52:27,480
the ice is melting until you finally get around 
to the stage where you’re going to shake it and  

517
00:52:27,480 –> 00:52:33,540
uh Stir It um and then it’s already probably 
past the point of the dilution that you might  

518
00:52:33,540 –> 00:52:38,400
be looking for which generally is about a quarter 
of an ounce so it’s not a whole lot of dilution  

519
00:52:38,400 –> 00:52:43,560
you don’t want to have to melt a lot but if it’s 
filled with ice from the beginning it’s going  

520
00:52:43,560 –> 00:52:47,580
to melt more than you want basically you want to 
be in control of the deletion you don’t want the  

521
00:52:47,580 –> 00:52:54,900
deletion potential so we’re going to add an ounce 
of lemon juice to get started this is up to zoom

522
00:52:57,000 –> 00:52:57,780
mm-hmm

523
00:53:02,580 –> 00:53:08,640
I want us to do a whole a hole out of this and 
out of the lemon juice yeah and then two ounces  

524
00:53:08,640 –> 00:53:18,240
of the brown sugar bread but yeah you you have uh 
twice as much as you need to make one cocktail so  

525
00:53:19,080 –> 00:53:20,820
um with what you have there that’s enough to make  

526
00:53:20,820 –> 00:53:24,060
two cocktails in case in case 
you’re inclined to be doing it

527
00:53:32,880 –> 00:53:36,540
um and then if you are making just one cocktail  

528
00:53:38,220 –> 00:53:46,140
um what did they put in somebody else right 
now what you have in there is two ounces of  

529
00:53:46,140 –> 00:53:50,940
the brown sugar bourbon and one ounce of 
lemon juice for one cocktail you’re making  

530
00:53:50,940 –> 00:53:54,600
two double baths so you’d have four ounces of 
brown sugar Bourbon and two ounces of lemon  

531
00:53:54,600 –> 00:53:59,280
juice which is the entire brown sugar bourbon 
container and the entire lemon juice container

532
00:54:03,720 –> 00:54:05,580
yeah you want to talk about brown sugar bourbon  

533
00:54:05,580 –> 00:54:11,640
yeah brown sugar bourbon so honestly when 
they first Centos brown sugar bourbon way  

534
00:54:11,640 –> 00:54:16,860
back when to try to put in one of our 
boxes we were like brown sugar bourbon

535
00:54:19,200 –> 00:54:24,900
put stuff in my bourbon so we were very snobby 
about it and then we tasted it we’ve all seen  

536
00:54:24,900 –> 00:54:30,900
the whipped cream vodkas we’ve all seen the 
artificially delicious we’ve got a fireball  

537
00:54:30,900 –> 00:54:35,340
right they’re gross artificially delicious 
birds are gross brown sugar bourbon is  

538
00:54:35,340 –> 00:54:39,480
amazing they actually use real brown sugar 
real cinnamon they chew it lightly with a  

539
00:54:39,480 –> 00:54:44,340
light touch we love it especially this time of 
year you just add it to some hot cider add it  

540
00:54:44,340 –> 00:54:49,320
to some cold cider add it to your teeth 
take your hot toddy it’s really particle  

541
00:54:49,980 –> 00:54:56,100
um Jamie Foxx just purchased them so we’re 
fingers crossed but they stay as good as they  

542
00:54:56,100 –> 00:55:01,020
have been and that doesn’t change things but if 
you like Jamie Foxx Jamie Foxx likes brown sugar

543
00:55:03,420 –> 00:55:10,080
um and then last but not least there uh go ahead 
and grab the little blue vial that says foamer  

544
00:55:10,080 –> 00:55:16,500
on it and if you’re making one cocktail um you’re 
going to want to basically dash out about half of  

545
00:55:16,500 –> 00:55:20,880
it so the easiest way to do that I found is 
to hold it upside down and just kind of get  

546
00:55:20,880 –> 00:55:26,760
a little finger Spanx and you kind of have 
to smack it a little bit to get it to come  

547
00:55:26,760 –> 00:55:32,040
out you can’t do too much you know like it’ll 
just be just be a topic deal you don’t have the

548
00:55:35,100 –> 00:55:38,760
can put one egg white in for one cocktail 
or two egg whites in particularly

549
00:55:44,520 –> 00:55:45,120
let me give you that

550
00:55:48,360 –> 00:55:53,280
so as far as the egg whites do you do that in 
a separate container do you add it to it yeah  

551
00:55:53,280 –> 00:55:57,960
I would do it in a separate container just just 
in case any shell gets in there any yolk gets in  

552
00:55:57,960 –> 00:56:01,080
there then you’re not ruining the rest of your 
cocktail you would just throw that egg white out  

553
00:56:01,080 –> 00:56:06,240
and start over because if you do get any yolk 
in there at all it will not froth and foam that  

554
00:56:06,240 –> 00:56:10,860
will mess up the frothing and foaming so you can’t 
get any egg yolk in there Evan likes to just put  

555
00:56:10,860 –> 00:56:15,120
it over his open fingers on a hand and keep the 
yolk in his hand and let the whites kind of drip  

556
00:56:15,120 –> 00:56:20,100
through his hand I prefer to do the shell back 
and forth but the wrist with the shell is that  

557
00:56:20,100 –> 00:56:26,280
you might pierce the yolk and then get yolk 
in there okay but uh but I I want to put the  

558
00:56:26,280 –> 00:56:32,160
yolk in the drink you want to put the white in the 
drink you do that right right I’m sorry I’m saying  

559
00:56:32,160 –> 00:56:38,760
you’re right I want to put the whites in the 
drink right now okay yeah and Jay alternatively  

560
00:56:39,480 –> 00:56:48,180
um especially if you’re making two cocktails and 
you have a smaller Shaker tin you can put it both  

561
00:56:48,180 –> 00:56:54,180
of the whites in the in the vial by themselves 
without any of the other ingredients and do a  

562
00:56:54,180 –> 00:57:00,600
dry shake with just the white and then add the 
other ingredients and then shake it again but  

563
00:57:00,600 –> 00:57:07,740
we feel like it doesn’t add that much more 
foam um it’s just easier to go straight to  

564
00:57:07,740 –> 00:57:15,960
all ingredients the uh ice as mentioned and 
stands The Cider if you’re if you are looking  

565
00:57:15,960 –> 00:57:21,660
at the recipe with the sips account report 
um don’t include the signer in the Shaker  

566
00:57:21,660 –> 00:57:26,280
tin for the next track so the next don’t ever 
put carbonated drinks in a Shaker if you’re  

567
00:57:26,280 –> 00:57:35,460
going to shake it like like shake it shake it 
you can um so FYI yeah disaster um and then

568
00:57:36,000 –> 00:57:48,000
and maybe you’re doing a couple of drinks at 
once or you’re trying to like what you can do  

569
00:57:48,000 –> 00:57:53,700
is if you have one of these strainers that goes 
to your cocktail kit you can take that spring off  

570
00:57:54,960 –> 00:58:00,840
and put that spring inside your cocktail shaker 
while you’re shaking the egg whites so if you’ve  

571
00:58:00,840 –> 00:58:05,520
ever made like a protein shake and they have those 
little agitated balls in there to make the whey  

572
00:58:05,520 –> 00:58:12,000
protein in this would function the same way in 
your Shaker tin you don’t need to do it certainly  

573
00:58:12,000 –> 00:58:17,940
you know if you’re a good shaker like Evan is he 
doesn’t typically do this I’m gonna do it it’s off  

574
00:58:17,940 –> 00:58:21,660
there but it will just make it even frothier and 
firmer it’s kind of like a whisk being in there  

575
00:58:21,660 –> 00:58:29,100
so what you saw me there just do is important 
give it a nice little hit on the bottom make  

576
00:58:29,100 –> 00:58:35,280
sure it’s sealed and then take a look around look 
at your surroundings make sure that you’re not  

577
00:58:35,280 –> 00:58:41,880
near anything breakable not near any loved ones 
and I would say more often than not it’s easiest  

578
00:58:41,880 –> 00:58:47,760
stand up yeah um engage your core we’re 
teaching you how to shake like a pro here  

579
00:58:47,760 –> 00:58:52,800
people repetitive injuries repetitive motion 
injuries are a real thing so if you’re mixing  

580
00:58:52,800 –> 00:58:56,880
up cocktails all holiday season you want to make 
sure that you don’t hurt yourself what’s that  

581
00:58:57,540 –> 00:59:02,640
cocktail over your shoulder and get after 
it you’re going to want to shave here for  

582
00:59:02,640 –> 00:59:07,080
about 45 seconds and put your fingers but you 
could just try to get it as slowly as you can

583
00:59:09,000 –> 00:59:13,980
Suzanne help us out what all’s in the shaker  

584
00:59:15,420 –> 00:59:19,620
so in the Shaker for two drinks are 
you making two drinks or one yep  

585
00:59:21,360 –> 00:59:28,200
two drinks so you if you’re making two drinks then 
you’re gonna need four ounces of the brown sugar  

586
00:59:28,200 –> 00:59:33,360
bourbon the whole container and two ounces 
of lemon juice the whole container and then  

587
00:59:34,380 –> 00:59:39,780
um probably about six dashes 
of the feet foamer okay thanks

588
00:59:44,460 –> 00:59:48,660
I thought you’ll see he’s doing with two 
hands he’s also creating chaos there he’s  

589
00:59:48,660 –> 00:59:54,360
again just like if you stir in a circle it 
just goes in a circle if you just shake back  

590
00:59:54,360 –> 00:59:57,180
and forth It’s just hitting the top of the 
bottom he’s really kind of moving it around

591
01:00:07,500 –> 01:00:17,160
um so now that it’s foamed up I’m gonna let 
Suzanne put the oh yeah I hope so I don’t  

592
01:00:17,160 –> 01:00:24,840
know if I do start with one end already yeah 
there you go I’m learning guys I’m learning  

593
01:00:24,840 –> 01:00:31,740
something new oh I see I see yeah yeah 
I’m all sticky if it’s mixed in and then  

594
01:00:32,580 –> 01:00:39,780
grab a nice big scoop of ice fortunately 
this cocktail has already been very well  

595
01:00:39,780 –> 01:00:45,240
Incorporated with regard to the ingredients 
in the Shaker so you don’t have to worry about  

596
01:00:45,240 –> 01:00:50,700
shaking this heavily with the ice because you’ve 
already shaken it for quite a while without ice  

597
01:00:51,720 –> 01:00:54,360
this is just to cool it off this 
is just to cool it off exactly  

598
01:00:55,200 –> 01:01:03,600
remember again you’re gonna tell you and that’s 
10 quarts of quick Shades is going to be enough  

599
01:01:04,440 –> 01:01:15,660
it looks like somebody got ahead who’s getting 
ahead they’re Pros I know so with the ice cream  

600
01:01:15,660 –> 01:01:21,180
at this point you want to go ahead and strain 
it into your waiting glass if you have a fine  

601
01:01:21,180 –> 01:01:26,100
mesh strainer that’s a very helpful thing 
to use at this step got a little strain it  

602
01:01:26,700 –> 01:01:34,500
um the reason I say that is because that will 
help to uh remove any ice shards from shaking  

603
01:01:34,500 –> 01:01:40,920
it that will then cause the foam that you’d 
work so hard to create to kind of fall apart so

604
01:01:48,720 –> 01:01:54,480
and now you’re going to use the cider 
to give a little rinse to your Shaker  

605
01:01:54,480 –> 01:01:58,680
and get all of the last little bits of that 
delicious foam you worked so hard to create

606
01:02:01,200 –> 01:02:05,820
so add a couple of ounces of cider 
to your glass if you made both your  

607
01:02:05,820 –> 01:02:09,540
cocktails tonight probably just 
what’s left in here in your cider

608
01:02:12,780 –> 01:02:17,400
been strain it once over the other side 
maybe back and forth a couple of times  

609
01:02:18,600 –> 01:02:26,040
and then straight in the second time some more 
of that foamy goodness and add some apple cider  

610
01:02:26,040 –> 01:02:31,380
deliciousness yeah and the carbonation of The 
Cider also is going to help to really push that  

611
01:02:31,380 –> 01:02:38,400
bone to the max yeah now if you stop if you would 
have stopped before you added the apple cider or  

612
01:02:38,400 –> 01:02:43,920
you could use soda water or a ginger beer or 
anything you stopped before that this would  

613
01:02:43,920 –> 01:02:49,560
still be this would be a whiskey sour once you add 
a carbonated kind of rinse to it an ounce or two  

614
01:02:49,560 –> 01:02:56,280
of carbonation to it it’s now instead of a whiskey 
sour it’s called a Fizz no yeah but whiskey fizz

615
01:02:59,760 –> 01:03:09,900
wow then pretty tasty huh yeah yeah we’re gonna 
put some cinnamon on the top and then you know  

616
01:03:09,900 –> 01:03:13,560
the cinnamon on top you know we’re being a little 
cutesy and we’re doing a Christmas stencil and  

617
01:03:13,560 –> 01:03:18,300
it’s like all fun but even if you didn’t use 
the Christmas stencil you would still say shake  

618
01:03:18,300 –> 01:03:23,580
a little bit of cinnamon on top because most of 
what you taste in your mouth is coming from your  

619
01:03:23,580 –> 01:03:28,560
nose and what you’re smelling as it’s approaching 
your mouth and so this is again where people say  

620
01:03:28,560 –> 01:03:33,600
man when I have drinks at bars they’re so like 
amazing and when I have it at home I’m not it’s  

621
01:03:33,600 –> 01:03:38,580
because they’re skipping this garnishing stuff 
and so the smell of cinnamon as you’re bringing  

622
01:03:38,580 –> 01:03:43,920
it to your face and enhances the cinnamon that’s 
in this brown sugar bourbon it makes you kind of  

623
01:03:43,920 –> 01:03:48,600
taste that cinnamon in the drink more so even if 
you weren’t doing the cutesy stencil and kind of  

624
01:03:48,600 –> 01:03:56,340
going all out oh wait should I I’m gonna highlight 
you so Evan’s doing his stencil be careful with  

625
01:03:56,340 –> 01:04:04,260
these these stencil um balls or the dusting balls 
because they really do tap out quite a bit fast so  

626
01:04:04,260 –> 01:04:11,040
you want to kind of gently go and go from a little 
bit more of a height whoa we like that reaction

627
01:04:13,920 –> 01:04:15,900
exactly what we’re going for here

628
01:04:19,440 –> 01:04:24,300
now the real reveal will be when you take the 
stencil off sometimes it sometimes they don’t  

629
01:04:24,300 –> 01:04:33,300
turn on as well as we hope to make that print 
oh look at that those are beautiful wow wow  

630
01:04:34,080 –> 01:04:40,920
bring them to the camera this way yeah Christmas 
miracle that’s kind of what you’re doing Christmas  

631
01:04:40,920 –> 01:04:49,920
miracle yes yeah that’s kind of what you’re 
going for that nice foam layer yeah beautiful

632
01:04:53,700 –> 01:04:58,260
how did everyone’s turn out to get 
some nice foamy goodness on the top  

633
01:04:59,280 –> 01:05:03,600
we flunked I see some foam there yeah

634
01:05:05,700 –> 01:05:11,640
damn little [Laughter] they’re 
shaking like shaking like you mean it

635
01:05:15,420 –> 01:05:18,720
yeah it is often shaking a lot longer 
and harder than you think you need to  

636
01:05:18,720 –> 01:05:22,740
at least that first dry Shake yeah that’s 
why we joke you’re getting your workout in  

637
01:05:23,580 –> 01:05:26,580
um but you really need to get 
those proteins to kind of unfold

638
01:05:28,800 –> 01:05:34,080
this will be a practice makes perfect 
exactly yeah first attempt you’re not  

639
01:05:34,080 –> 01:05:41,460
meant to knock it out of the park yeah and now 
once you taste this you know you could decide  

640
01:05:42,480 –> 01:05:46,200
I want a little sweeter I want a little sweeter 
I’m going to pull back on the lemon juice I’m  

641
01:05:46,200 –> 01:05:51,900
going to add a little bit more sugar and so you 
could actually add some sweetener to this if you  

642
01:05:51,900 –> 01:05:56,340
wanted to you could sure well most of usually 
with these sours do have a simple syrup in them  

643
01:05:56,340 –> 01:06:00,840
we don’t put a simple syrup in this simply 
because the brown sugar is eat on its own  

644
01:06:01,440 –> 01:06:05,220
um but you certainly could add you could 
make brown sugar simple syrup just equal  

645
01:06:05,220 –> 01:06:09,900
parts brown sugar equal parts water you could 
add a little cinnamon to that reason and then  

646
01:06:09,900 –> 01:06:17,580
add you know a quarter ounce a half an ounce 
of that for this if you wanted to delicious um

647
01:06:17,580 –> 01:06:22,740
despite the lack of foam yeah  

648
01:06:23,400 –> 01:06:30,600
yeah tastes like the holidays right well hard 
to go wrong with brown sugar bourbon that’s true  

649
01:06:31,620 –> 01:06:38,280
that’s true that’s a good starting point yeah 
I’ll put um I’ll link in the chat here because  

650
01:06:38,280 –> 01:06:44,340
we actually most of the spirits that we use in 
our kits we have a site with our vendor where  

651
01:06:44,340 –> 01:06:48,240
you can actually go buy full-size bottles online 
so if you like the brown sugar bourbon if you like  

652
01:06:48,780 –> 01:06:53,040
the patapa um you know things like that 
you can get that through them online

653
01:06:56,400 –> 01:07:02,580
and then while I’m doing a PSA you also 
can gift SipScout for the holidays oh  

654
01:07:02,580 –> 01:07:07,020
that’s right yeah I’ve been there yeah 
I will we just we just set up recently  

655
01:07:07,020 –> 01:07:10,320
um you know because this just launched 
in September so it’s a new our new baby  

656
01:07:11,220 –> 01:07:15,060
um but we just launched gift cards and so you 
can actually get a gift card for someone and  

657
01:07:15,060 –> 01:07:19,260
you can buy them one month of membership three 
months of membership or six months of membership  

658
01:07:20,160 –> 01:07:24,660
um and they get to choose when they start their 
membership so you get to give them the gift card  

659
01:07:24,660 –> 01:07:29,460
and then they get to look at the calendar and 
say I’m gonna wait until the margarita class in  

660
01:07:29,460 –> 01:07:35,760
May and then from then I want to kind of be a 
member or the Irish beer event in March for St  

661
01:07:35,760 –> 01:07:43,440
Patrick’s Day or whatever yeah so it’s a nice 
way to help someone explore and try new things  

662
01:07:43,440 –> 01:07:48,600
and support small businesses while you do over 
there there it is all right so this is the link  

663
01:07:48,600 –> 01:07:56,340
to buy full bottles of spirits and then here’s 
the link to become to give the gift of scout

664
01:08:02,640 –> 01:08:06,600
