(Nick) Hey guys. I get a lot of requests for recreating cocktails from TV shows and movies, and
I wanted to try one out by recreating some cocktails from one of my favorite childhood shows, The Simpsons.
If you'd like to see more videos of me recreating cocktails from movie and TV,
let me know if you have a specific idea. Feel free to comment below. All right, let's get started!
Le Flaming Homer
(Homer) I decided to mix the little bits that were left in every liquor bottle.
In my haste, I had grabbed a bottle of the kids cough syrup.
*blender noises*
It passed the first test.
*clunk*
I didn't go blind.
*woosh*
(Homer) Huh?
I don't know the scientific explanation, but fire made it good.
(Nick) Alright, I did a frame-by-frame tear-down of this Flaming Homer drink.
And as you can see, Homer puts a lot of stuff in this cocktail.
But the only bottles you can actually identify are
this tequila,
this Peppermint Schnapps,
some Creme de Menthe,
and, of course, that cough syrup.
*ding number 4*
So we're going to recreate this using those exact same ingredients.
Start with four ounces of your peppermint schnapps,
Then, add in four ounces of your Creme de Menthe,
then four ounces of your tequila,
and I really wish I was not using such a nice tequila for this drink.
And of course, your "signature ingredient,"
the children's cough syrup.
Just smelling that great flavor brought back a bunch of memories from when I was a kid.
So add in 2 ounces to the blender.
Now Homer blends this in a blender without any ice, but if you don't want to do that,
just pour it into a mixing glass and stir it up with this inanimate carbon rod.
Fire up that blender, and that intense mint smell has already got me dreading what's coming next.
Just like Homer, we're going to pour that straight into a glass without any ice, and let's take our first sip.
This drink is God-awful.
You're punched in the face by this intense, sweet, minty flavor that gives you a gag reflex.
But let's not rush to judgment yet, because as we know, fire makes this drink really come alive.
But get ready to be disappointed because this drink does not catch on fire.
Just doesn't have the alcohol content to do it.
In conclusion, there is no reason to make the Flaming Homer.
Let's see if we can make a better version.
So instead of that purple cough syrup, we're going to be using this Creme de Violette.
Which is a liqueur made from violet flowers and has a floral taste.
So let's add 3/4 of an ounce of the Creme de Violette,
3/4 of an ounce of Cointreau,
3/4 of an ounce of gin,
and 3/4 of an ounce of lime juice.
Equal parts of all.
Next, you know the drill; throw that into a shaker tin with ice, shake it up for about 15 seconds, and here
we're going to double strain it into a coupe glass.
Oh! Leave no drop behind.
Next, we're going to make a
lime boat. So hollow out that lime wedge, drop it on top of the cocktail, and then fill it up with some
151 proof liquor.
This will light on fire and give you a nice flaming effect for your modern Flaming Homer.
If you're feeling fancy, spring for some lemon extracts and use that instead of the 151 rum here.
You'll get a much brighter flame. So just let that burn off, and enjoy.
Skittlebrau
*beep*
(Homer) I'm feelin' kind of low, Apu.
You got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
(Apu) Such a product does not exist, sir.
I think you must have dreamed it.
(Homer) Oh! Well then just get me a six-pack and couple of bags of Skittles.
(Nick) All right, let's make some Skittlebrau. We've got our Duff Beer, I mean a Budweiser. And a pack of Skittles.
This one's going to be pretty straightforward: pour some Skittles into a glass, pour some beer on top of the Skittles,
Here's also a lesson on how NOT to pour beer.
So we can give that a bit of a stir and already see a lot of a color coming off into the beer.
But I got to be honest,
I did not expect the beer to take on as much of the Skittle flavor, but it's very sweet and
certainly tastes like candy. It's actually not bad. I would take this over the Flaming Homer any day of the week.
But, I bet we can do better than that.
So, let's make a ginger shandy using a Hefeweizen beer, some lemon juice, and some ginger beer.
Start by squeezing the juice of half a lemon into a glass. For some reason, I chose this giant brandy snifter.
Pop open your Hefeweizen beer, and this time we're going to do a proper pour, by angling that glass.
Pour the entire contents of the beer in.
Then, we're just going to top with some of that ginger beer to taste. I add in a couple ounces.
Finally, just garnish with a lemon wedge, and enjoy. This drink is awesome on a really hot day.
A Single Plum Floating in Perfume Served in a Man's Hat
(Moe) Hey, Barney! What will it be?
(Barney) I'd like a beer, Moe.
(Fancy Girl Whatever Her Name Is) I'd like a single plum floating in perfume served in a man's hat.
(Moe) Here ya go!
(Nick) All right for our last cocktail,
we're going to be using some Chanel Chance poured into this fancy derby hat, and because it's not plum season,
we're going to be using an apple instead.
All right, now. Let's take our straw and give that as soo-
You're a fucking idiot, Nick.
Why in the world would anybody drink that?
(Nick) Hey guys, I hope you had as much fun
watching that video as I had making it. If you want to see more recreations of cocktails from TV shows or movies,
just let me know. And if you want to support us making more videos, we have a Patreon set up
I'm actually doing a live Q&A for my patrons this weekend, and if you haven't already, please subscribe to the channel.
It really helps. Until next time. Cheers, guys!
