Hey, guys. Today, by popular demand, we're gonna be doing another Simpsons recreation.
Thanks to everyone who voted on the recent poll in my Community tab.
The "Forget Me Shot" from The Simpsons was the far-away winner.
But first, I want to quickly thank SquareSpace for sponsoring this video.
I built my website using SquareSpace, it's super easy to use, and I made some cool updates I'll talk about at the end of this video.
And now, the Forget Me Shot.
Moe: "Ya start with a splash of Jägermeister, then add sloe gin,"
Homer: "Got that."
Moe: "Triple sec,"
Homer: "Right."
Moe: "Quadruple sec,"
Homer: "Yeah."
Moe: "Gunk from a dog's eye, Absolut Pickle,"
Homer: "Mm, pickle."
Moe: "The red stripe from Aquafresh,"
Moe: "And the funniest ingredient, the venom of the Louisiana Lobotomoth."
Moe: "Come on, sweetie."
Moe: "You stir it with a home pregnancy test 'til it turns positive..."
Moe: "And presto, the Forget Me Shot!"
Moe: "The point is, this drink is the ultimate brain bleacher."
Moe: "One swig wipes out the last day of your life."
All right, let's recreate this step-by-step.
We're gonna start with some Jägermeister, which is actually a decent herbal liqueur
though most people just associate it with Jägerbombs from college.
Since the Forget Me Shot has a lot of components, we're just gonna add a 1/4 oz. (7.5 mL) of Jägermeister.
Next up, we need a sloe gin, which confuses a lot of people with the name thinking it's some kind of slow distillation process
when in fact sloe gin is just gin infused with a sour stone fruit called sloe,
and then some sugar is typically added.
Again, we're gonna add a 1/4 oz. (7.5 mL).
Moe then adds some triple sec, which is an orange-flavored liqueur.
Here I'm using Cointreau.
And there's actually still some debate as to why it's called triple sec.
Some say that refers to the triple distillation process, others say it's a marketing term to make it sound three times as "orangey" as the competition.
Either way, another 1/4 oz. (7.5 mL) into the glass.
So then, Moe adds "quadruple sec", which isn't a thing.
But we're gonna interpret that to mean, we're gonna take some triple sec and amp up the orange flavor.
So take another 1/4 oz. (7.5 mL) of triple sec, and to this we're gonna add a couple drops of orange flower water
as well as a few drops of orange bitters.
1/4 oz. (7.5 mL) of the "quadruple sec" into the glass.
Next up is "gunk from a dog's eye."
Now, I don't own a dog, and I spent way too much time doing research on Pets WebMD to learn what the hell this stuff was.
Uh, so in the end I just decided to try some of my own.
Well, turns out it doesn't really taste like anything, maybe a little bit salty.
So we'll just sprinkle a little bit of that into the drink.
You can also add just a pinch of salt.
All right, "Absolut Pickle."
Now, this isn't a real liquor, so we're gonna make our own.
We're gonna start by combining just 1 bar spoon of vodka,
with another bar spoon of pickle brine.
This is gonna create about a 1/4 oz. (7.5 mL) of pickle-flavored vodka.
And in the glass it goes.
Now we need the red stripe from Aquafresh.
Look at that big red stripe there, should be pretty easy to slice off, right?
Well, it turns out the red part is more of a thin vein on the toothpaste, so I had to take a metal pick and try to carve it out.
This took way longer than I expected.
I probably spent over five minutes just trying to get that red toothpaste out of there,
and at some point I kinda felt like Bob Ross trying to build out his palette with some crimson red to paint the sunset.
All right, I finally had enough to work with here, so I scraped it up and dropped it into the shot glass.
Finally, "venom from the Louisiana Lobotomoth."
...Which doesn't exist.
Fortunately, we have some Scorpion right here.
This is some of my favorite hot sauce, and one drop should do the trick.
And we now have a leading contender for "weirdest thing I'm gonna do on this channel"
which is stirring this up with a home pregnancy test until it turns positive.
And now we wait.
This was the longest two minutes of my life.
If it's negative, I don't actually have to do this, right?
Okay, time's up, and...
We're having a shot.
*sigh*
Cue Nick's inner monologue: This won't be so bad, you got this, and-
Oh, that is SWEET from that triple sec...
And oh, here comes the toothpaste, as well as the Jäger coming together can only be described as...
*shudder of regret*
The Forget Me Shot.
Huh, that wasn't too...
Hm.
I could go for a coffee right about now.
Glad I got this burr grinder.
*coffee beans clattering into a grinder*
*coffee beans being ground*
Didn't I have a burrito in here?
Ah, yessss.
Where did my phone go?
What is it doing right here?
Is it... Is it recording?
Where did these studio lights come from?!
