[Movie Clips Begin] You know the secret to a really good julep?
No, sir.
Well...
You crush the mint down onto the ice with your thumb
you grind it in
*Glasses ting, pestle thumping*
*Muffled* Mm, mm
ah
Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet, shake it over ice and then add a thin slice of lemon peel.
We all try. You succeed. I can't get over you two.
She was asking about you earlier Rick in a way that made me extremely jealous.
I'm sorry if your stepmother is a nympho, but you know I don't see what this has to do with, uh...
You have any Kahlua? [Movie Clips End]
Hey, what's up guys and welcome back to Binging with Babish where this week
I'd like to propose a toast - we're coming up on 1 million subscribers, something
I'm very excited about and I'd like to make a few cocktails to mark the occasion.
Let's start with the signature drink of the dude: a white russian.
In an old-fashioned glass with ice combine two ounces of vodka,
one and 1/2 ounces of Kahlua or other coffee flavored liqueur, one ounce of heavy cream
and there you have it, the preferred libation of his dude-ness.
Cocktails are easy so we're going to do a whole lot of them today.
You can optionally mix this before imbibing two sips if you're lactose intolerant like me
before leaving and giving it to your roommate.
Next up has gotta be the easiest one from one my favorite movies,
Groundhog Day. Sweet Vermouth rocks with a twist.
Peel a twist of lemon, rub it around the rim of the glass, add sweet Vermouth.
And that's about all there is to it. The very first step on the long road to seducing Andie MacDowell.
Next up has gotta be the easiest one from one of my favorite movies,
Groundhog Day. Sweet Vermouth rocks with a twist.
Peel a twist of lemon, rub it around the rim of the glass, add sweet Vermouth.
Uh, sorry I'm just messing around. Next up we have Ryan Gosling's
Shirtless cocktail of choice: the old-fashioned.
Start by soaking a sugar cube with a little bit of aromatic bitters muddling them together.
Measuring out or just pouring in about two ounces of good Kentucky bourbon, adding ice with a cocktail spoon for some reason.
Maybe just because it looks cool.
Not that it looks cool because it doesn't. A nice wide orange peel that we're going to
twist to release some of its natural essential oils or something.
Mix together to make sure that that sugar is absorbed and drink the whole thing all at once.
I would drink two, just like Emma Stone did, but I have a lot of cocktails to make tonight, and I'm already feeling not so sober.
But luckily it's time for one of my favorite drinks: the mint Julep.
Grind the mint into your palm with your thumb even though
it's going to make no difference because we're just going to muddle it with a cube of sugar anyway.
But if Robert Duvall tells me to do it I'm going to do it.
Mint juleps require crushed ice- something that you normally use the crushed ice function
in your refrigerator for but when you have to buy your ice at a bodega you have to make do with the tools on hand.
Hwhack the ice until it is about the size of M&Ms
Make your downstairs neighbors wonder what the hell you're doing and fill the cup three quarters the way full with ice before adding two ounces
of bourbon, a little splash of seltzer, topping up with as much ice as the cup can hold and
garnishing with a sprig of mint. Make sure you're drinking this with either a red straw or a metal straw.
Want to keep everything as cold as possible
and also looks pretty friggin classy.
Speaking of classy, it's time for the vesper from Casino Royale.
We're starting with three measures of Gordon's gin. He specifies Gordon's which is odd?
It's pretty cheap gin, but whatever. One ounce of vodka once ounce of Kina Lillet
Kina lee-lay. Kina lil-et. Killa- kina lee-lay.
We're obviously going to shake this over ice - insert James Bond Joke here
And prepare a chilled Martini glass into which we're going to double strain our Martini.
We don't want little shards of ice in there.
Prepare a thin slice of lemon, give it a good twist to release the essential oils, rub it around the rim
to sort of imbue the entire cocktail with its flavor and enjoy.
I'm able to drink this without spilling it, so I must be good for one more cocktail.
It's time for the preferred drink at Rick's Café American,
The French 75. Start with one ounce of gin.
The juice of half a lemon - about half an ounce. A little tiny squirt of simple syrup,
maybe 1/4 ounce. Stomp down your cocktail shaker.
Shake it over ice.
Strain into a champagne coupe glass
and top off with about 2 ounces of real champagne.
Real champagne can only come from... Champagne.
Or seriously just use some sparkling white wine.
Especially in a cocktail. But since this is a special occasion we're doing the real thing.
Garnish with a lemon twist if desired and it's time for drink number six of the evening.
Now sure I've been mixing all different kinds of liqueurs
and sure I just spilled much of my drink all over the table, but this ain't my first rodeo.
And I'm sure I'm going to be just fine tomorrow.
I feel better.
Over the years, each of us would discover that Barney's elixir actually worked.
Like way better!
[Sounding tired] Hey, what's up guys welcome back to...
...Binging with Babish where this uh
to- today, we're going to be making Barney Stinson's hangover fixer elixir which starts with some funyuns
then uh- along with some freshly
peeled ginger - ginger root that we're added in there with some bacon grease
and Tantrum Soda which I think is them making fun of the old nineties energy drink Surge.
We're gonna put all those in, well, the stand mixer.
I mean uh, the blender.
Blend them up good. I'm sure this is going to be really tasty.
Pour into some kind of glass.
I don't really care just pour it into a glass.
And I am potentially allergic to bananas. Last time I had a banana
I went into anaphylactic shock - long story, but anyway.
We're going to have that at the ready.
And this tastes really super gross - big surprise. It tastes like lemon lime...
...funyuns,
banana,
ginger
Bacon... juice, but I figured I need to drink the whole thing.
But I was wrong it just made me feel worse, and it made me go get sick.
