(groans)
- Oh my God, there's like a bit of like--
(warm festive music)
- What is Christmas like at your house?
Like, do you drink a lot of cocktails?
- We drink a lot, but we don't have cocktails,
we're more alcohol purists, so it's just like the Bailey's.
- I feel like the elderly members of your family
always like crack out a sherry at Christmas.
- Ah, my grandma loves to give me a shot of sherry.
- Does she?
- As soon as I go to her house at Christmas.
- What is sherry?
- Oh, liqueur? - Okay.
- A liqueur?
I don't know.
It's mingin', but--
- Like, I don't know what egg nog is,
but I know it's one of the things,
and I feel like Christmas cocktails are quite milky?
- Yeah, I think Christmas is all about the warm
sort of like the mulled wines, the mulled ciders,
those like give you the nice, good feeling.
- Yeah, the cosiness. - Yes.
- Egg nog is the one, like,
it's a mythical beast that I can't wait to tackle.
(laughing)
(rustling) (laughing)
- Okay.
- Oh, and I broke it!
- Okay, it's fine, but you know what?
Use this one.
- No, it's okay.
- No, no, no, because I can fashion it.
Producer, what do you think?
- [Producer] Fantastic.
- Thank you very much, darling.
(warm holiday music)
- Oh dear. (laughing)
- A sherry cream flip,
so there is sherry in this?
- Yes.
- Yes!
Okay, I've never had sherry either.
- Have you not?
- Oh.
Bits in it.
- It's got a lot of bits. - A lot of bits.
- I don't like the, the thickness that this seems to have.
(grunts) (rustling)
- Smells like eggy bread.
- I really don't wanna drink this.
- Come on, Steph.
(clink)
Mm, mm! (laughing)
That's a bit of egg white.
- Yuck, yuck.
- Now I got a little egg white. (laughs)
- Ooh.
Oh, I can see it! (laughs)
- Ugh!
- I'm gonna have a proper drink, 'cause that was,
I actually, I actually--
- And I can't believe I'm doing this
that egg white was so gross!
- Zoom in!
That is egg!
- Yeah, this is wrong.
- I can't believe that we drank that!
That's (bleep) disgusting.
- No, who, who drinks this?
Like really, honestly now, honest question.
Who drinks this?
- No.
Is the, my answer to this.
- Yeah. - Absolutely not.
Of all the things you could put in a drink, why egg?
- Yeah.
- I would not drink this again.
I, no.
(warm holiday music)
- Oh, this looks like a blancmange.
- Yeah, it really does.
This looks like cake batter
before you've fully whipped it up and then--
- Yeah, it does. - Put it in the oven.
- It's the "wet ingredients."
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Why does it look like custard?
- Why do I have so much more than Pip?
- You deserve it, that's why.
- Oh my God, it smells really weird.
- I can imagine, it looks really sweet as well.
- Okay. - So let's get this over
and done with because-- (clink)
Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Why?
- It is like a lemon drizzle cake.
That is, that is it, right?
- It's sort of like a, you know, a Coke float?
- Yeah!
- It's sort of like that.
- I agree with you.
- I don't know, I'm not, like,
I'm not gifted.
- For the comedy value, I would drink this again.
- Yeah.
- I think it's quite funny.
- Yeah, get the Snowballs in.
- I'm not offended by this.
- I'm offended by this.
Who did this?
Is this bored 1950s housewives who are like,
ooh, this is just, ooh?
- I think if I didn't know it was egg,
and it didn't taste as eggy,
I might be down with it.
But it is weird knowing that I'm just drinking egg.
(warm holiday music)
- Controversial opinion. - Oh dear.
- Mint chocolate, no.
Mint ice cream, no.
- Huh?
- Mint should only be in chewing gum, mints, and toothpaste.
- I quite, you know, like an After Eight.
That's very Christmassy.
- Yeah, ooh, it smells really good.
It smells really nice.
- Yeah, I feel like a bougie (bleep)
comin' down the stairs in my, you know,
my robe with the feather trim.
(clink)
- Hmm.
(smacks lips)
I actually quite like that, it's like an ice cream.
- No.
- Oh, that is thick.
That is viscous.
(coughs)
(laughing) - I will say,
if I liked minty chocolate things,
I would actually quite like this.
But I don't, so I don't.
- Ooh. - Oh.
Toothpastey.
(laughing)
- Hmm.
That is good.
I think they're quite mean,
maybe I'll make up the Grasshopper this festive season.
It's unique, it's outrageous.
I think creme de menthe is due a bit of a renaissance.
(laughing)
- Can we see the bottle a bit?
Oh my God. - Oh.
- You know what that looks like?
Have you seen the aftershave called Brut?
- Yeah. (laughing)
Brut. (sniffs)
The strong man's aftershave.
- Smells like Brut. (laughs)
- Bawl's as well, like, Bawl's looks just sort of like,
that's a bloke's drink, that.
I dunno, but then creme de menthe sounds like a bit more--
- A bit creme de menthe. - Yeah! (laughing)
(warm holiday music)
- Smells a bit like rum. (duck quacks)
Smells a bit rummy.
- Mm, ooh, oh God.
- It's definitely like nearly a solid.
- You see how the nutmeg is on the top?
- Yeah, yeah.
- When I turn the glass, it takes a little while--
- It does and-- (laughing)
The inside of this is just like jelly.
- Oh, I don't even want to--
- Oh my God, it smells so bad!
- Oh, and it goes so close to it.
(groans) Actually, I can't--
What the (bleep) is that?
- It smells like alcohol and yeast!
- Pepper flakes?
- I do like the way you've put chocolate batter on,
to make it a little bit more premium.
Thanks for the advertising.
- Oh, that's actually.
That's actually so grim.
That's right, it's burning.
- Ooh.
That is like drinking an old yogurt
inside you, oh God. (laughing)
- Ay, no.
- I'm rethinking my choices to participate in this now.
- Eggs are a food, I'm just gonna say it, okay?
- Yeah.
- It's what we're all thinking.
- [Ben] Yep.
- Overall summary, don't like it.
If you like and you like bourbon,
then go for it, but--
- I actually do quite like milk.
- Okay. (laughing)
(warm holiday music)
- [Producer] What does it smell like?
- It smells like nutmeg.
And a bit like wine.
- Is there egg white in this drink?
- [Producer] Yes.
- [Both] Is there egg yolk in this drink?
- [Producer] Yes.
- Is there meant to be egg yolk in this drink?
- [Producer] Yes.
- Throw the whole cocktail away!
- Oh, that smells. - Hmm, ooh.
- That smells like olden times!
- That smells-- - Doesn't it smell?
- That smells like an old musty ship.
- Oh.
That is so bad.
(laughing)
- Well, you know what it looks like?
You know in art when you mix your brushes together?
You know? (laughing)
- Every single one of these drinks
do have a sort of, either way,
if you put it in the oven,
it would turn into like, it would rise.
(laughing)
- Oh, that experience was not tasty.
- I feel it all repeating on me right now.
- Yeah, the burps.
- I just burped and while you were talking, come on.
- Yeah, did you taste it?
- Yeah! (laughs)
- I think you're gonna be the only one that likes them.
- Do you think so?
- There's a reason they're called gross cocktails.
- I'm into them. - Yeah.
- [Producer] Ed liked them.
- Oh, of course he did.
- Of course he did.
I can imagine him, he's got his cocktail trolley at home,
and it's full of (bleep) like that.
- I'm also going to get ape on the creme de menthe
and start mixing up some creme de menthe base drinks.
I'll need a 12-pack of eggs.
(laughing)
And you know what?
I reckon I could create some pretty good stuff.
