- Are we drinking cocktails?
- [Cameraman] Yes.
- Are we actually?
- Yay!
- Oh, I've been waiting for this.
- Just two girls drinking cocktails, shooting the shit.
(upbeat music)
- You mean fest, it's like, festive holidays,
like the holiday season.
- The winter holidays.
- Yes, yes.
Sorry, sorry, yes, yes.
- So, cranberry.
- Yes, of course.
- Peppermint.
- Cinnamon.
- Chocolate trauma.
- Yeah, Yas, Yas!
- Okay, I'm feeling festive.
- I'm so excited. - Is there a little bit of red
in these earrings, or are they more brown toned?
- Well, I mean, it's like a, yes!
Yes!
- I'm gonna assume.
(upbeat music)
- What do we got here?
- It's a holiday cup.
- Oh, it's a holiday.
Oh, we're doing the video now?
Oh, I see, okay.
- Oh, there's cloves in this one.
- Ooh.
- Okay, okay.
- How exciting.
- I'm curious.
- Eye of the beholder?
- Oh my God.
- Ooh.
- It smells gingery.
- Okay, what's your theory?
Hit me.
- I think there's whiskey in it.
But I think there's whiskey in everything.
- [Cameraman] This is a Hanukkah cocktail.
- Oh!
- Eye of the beholder?
I hardly know her.
- Eye of the beholder?
I hardly know her.
Ah, that's fine.
(Dr. Sarina laughing)
- You'll make a great dad one day.
- Thank you so much!
- Merry holiday.
- Happy Hanukkah.
- Yes.
(both slurping)
- Oh my God, it's delicious.
- That is lovely.
- It's lovely, refreshing.
It's very summery.
- I think there's ginger, ginger ale, ginger beer.
It's lovely!
- Is there apple?
- There's cider, I think, yeah.
- Oh, that's what it is.
- Yeah.
- It's a little bit summery.
It's quite refreshing.
Yeah, yeah.
- This is dangerous, right.
Because it's so smooth.
The alcohol is so inoffensive.
You could come home and be like
"Oh, I want a glass of lemonade."
and then just gun this instead.
- [Cameraman] Potato vodka, ginger beer,
apple cider, bitters, clove, and lemon.
- Really?
There's a vodka in there.
Wow.
- That's a beautiful drink.
- Yum.
- That really sounds like so pleasant.
- Like a little potato bellini or something.
- The cloves are interesting.
Oh!
- Refreshed is like,
is what I wanna be like after the holidays.
During the holidays I wanna be sleepy most of the time.
- Yes.
- I mean, vodka isn't really a very strong flavor
in any drink that it's ever in.
That's kinda the point of vodka.
- If you whack like one of those
thick milkshake straws into this,
I would just be like,
(Lena slurping)
Gone.
- It's a good thing there's ice.
- [Cameraman] The 'Eye of the Beholder'
pays homage to classic potato latkes.
A traditional Hanukkah dish
served with cream and apple sauce.
There ya go.
- Wow, okay yum.
- I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
- No, it isn't.
- You're ruining the holidays.
- It's what the holidays are for.
We're gonna fight about this, okay?
- I'm trying to finish mine.
- Yeah, she's trying to finish hers.
- Why is it called the Eye of the Beholder?
Is it because it's not a particularly beautiful drink?
Is it because if drink enough of these,
you'll think everybody is beautiful?
- [Cameraman] Serena, are you ready for Hanukkah?
- Yeah.
- It's too refreshing.
So we'll give it a nine out of 10 then.
- I mean, I thought it was,
- Do you want to give it a 10 out of 10?
We're just gonna go full on gold on this?
- I mean, come on, it's the holidays.
- It's the holidays.
- 10 outta 10.
Happy Hanukkah everyone.
(upbeat music)
This is for St. Patrick's day,
obviously I guess.
- A holiday cocktails St. Patrick's day.
- This is fun.
- Wow!
- It looks like my daddy, the grinch.
- [Cameraman] This is for Kwanza.
- Ah, Kwanza.
- [Cameraman] And it's called 'The Stinger'.
- The Stinger.
Oh boy.
- A stinger.
- Oh my god, okay.
I'm just like.
- Do we think that it's gonna be spicy?
- I think it's gonna be like,
- Sour?
- Oh, wowzers, wowzers.
- It's like petrol.
Look at the hue.
- Super mutant juice.
- It's like Shrek's piss.
- That's all I ever wanted.
- Kwanza.
Oh my god, the taste of that.
Not even in my mouth yet.
Like, you can taste it before you drink it.
- Whoa.
- Ah, very medicinal,
that's mouth drying.
- It's brilliant!
- If you make that sound, I'm nervous.
- It's so minty!
- Oh boy! Should it be this big a glass?
- [Cameraman] Idea is, the brandy will warm you up,
and the minty flavor is reminiscent of crisp, fresh snow.
- I kinda get it.
I'd only get it because of that cool,
you know like cool mint.
- Wow!
- Okay, this is festive.
- This is so pepperminty!
- See, I wasn't expecting a velvety taste.
'Cause I've never left behind a velvet rope.
So what I will do is, how dare you, sir?
and lick the rope,
and that's what it kinda tastes like.
But then I'm like how, how dare you sir, oh!
- It's really strong tasting.
And there's definitely a bit of a kick
to the creme de menthe,
but you don't really taste the brandy.
- [Cameraman] Invented in the early 1900's
by African American Tom Bullock,
it's a great way to pay tribute
to the unity of African-American culture in the states.
- Look, and we got the green and red,
it's like the bells of holly!
- Which is a Christmas thing,
this is the Kwanza thing.
- Sorry, sorry guys.
- All respect to Kwanza.
But we have to be the try channel tryers,
and we wouldn't be the try channel tryers
if we weren't being honest.
And so we have to come at this critically,
and this is garbage.
- I'll tell you one thing though.
Much more of a holiday feel to it though.
- And you can feel it in your cheeks.
It's like a warm sensation.
- It's like here.
And it's at the back of the top of my mouth.
This does remind me of my dad's liquor cabinet.
- Yeah, you just fucking mix things together.
You're like, "okay, this should get us drunk."
- The last one was just a very tasty drink
that you could knock back without even thinking.
This one has a purpose.
You're making it for a purpose.
- I didn't think these were that dangerous,
but I am giggly, and my face feels warm.
My top is askew.
My hair is down.
I'm ready to be stung.
- I'm about to make some bad decision.
(upbeat music)
This looks delicious.
- This looks so good.
It reminds me of bailey's.
- Oh, oh!
- Mama.
- Wow!
- Garry, or eggy, or something.
- There's definitely like ginger in this.
- [Cameraman] This, this is called a gingerbread fix.
- Yum.
- It looks lovely.
That looks wintery.
- I don't know,
should a cocktail ever have a crust?
- Probably a gingerbread cookie I'd imagine,
something like that?
Would it be?
- Oh, maybe.
- Are you thinking? Can we get a fire going?
- That's a nice little snowy drink.
- Yeah, it is.
It's a lovely little snowy drink.
- This smells lovely.
I'm gonna guess there's some baileys in there.
- Are you into building gingerbread houses?
- I did it once before,
and these marks are from doing it.
I won't go back there.
I can't watch that video.
(everyone slurping)
- Oh!
- It's lovely.
It's wonderful.
- I was mid sip, and I could feel my cheek
going red from me blushing
as I made eye contact with the camera.
- Definitely baileys,
with a little bit of ginger sprinkled on.
- Good night, and good luck.
- Good night, and good luck boys.
- As this guy would say. - Oh boys.
- Oh boys.
- It's actually really nice.
The gingerbread works,
or whatever that is
works with the baileys!
- Bailey's, gingerbread syrup, vodka,
and crumbled gingerbread garnish.
- Vodka.
- I love this.
- That's it?
- It's bailey's and vodka?
- Do you get vodka from this?
Not until you said it,
but I suppose it tastes a bit stronger
than a regular bailey's.
- And the great thing is, I'm sure at the end of it
you've got some soggy biscuit that you can enjoy.
- I'd prefer just a plain old bailey's.
I'm sorry.
I don't get any of the ginger syrup.
- Like bailey's is not a drink that you're like,
"Oh, I'm going out,
let me get a bottle of bailey's,
and lets like have a scream."
- Bailey's is very much a Christmas drink.
You have to have some bailey's on Christmas.
- I think it's very Christmasy.
I like it.
- I think it's very Christmasy, and I like it.
- Happy holiday, this is great. I'm very blah.
I'm making this at Christmas.
Are you making this at Christmas?
- This is great!
- This is yum.
It's easy to drink.
I know that I'm getting plastered
when I have like that little bit of red in the cheeks.
And the gingerbread, like, this is what I'm saying.
You got the nice little biscuit at the end.
You probably get a little sweet kick.
When it's all melted down, all the alcohol is gone.
- I think that the vodka gives it an extra little bit of
(foreign language)
But I don't.
It's very Italian, I was like.

- [Cameraman] This is a Yule Martin.
- No, no, Yule.
- Shut up and take my money.
- I don't know what's in this pool, but I wanna swim in it.
- [Cameraman] Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice.
Also known as Yule.
Yes, Yule grinch baby.
- I really like martinis.
I'm a huge fan,
- You'll be happy when you're drinking this martini.
Collin I feel like
that's a bit of a you energy doing a porn.
I'm really bad at this.
- This seems more like an "I'll" martini,
and that's more of a "Yule" martini.
Huh, huh?
(both slurping)
- I really like that.
It's a really weird flavor profile,
but it's really nice.
- Bit of a whoa, at the end there isn't it?
- Wow.
Okay bitch, you like sneaking up on me like that.
- I'm not surprised some pagans came up with this,
to be honest.
There's a little bit of bitterness in it.
- Yeah.
- I think pagans are a little bitter
that all the other religions kinda got big.
- My cinnamon stick has a little break in the middle.
- Collin I'm so sorry.
- I have to work (indistinguishable)
- I'm not sorry at all!
- All right, the martini was coming from inside the house.
- That is exactly what it is!
- Following bailey's is a bit of a tough sell.
You know what I mean?
- It kind of felt like the last one was Christmas;
and this is like January 1st.
- Oh boys.
- What a gorgeous drink.
- Yeah, this is beautiful.
Also these glass's.
- I know they just make you feel like reckless.
- [Cameraman] Winter Solstice, also known as Yule,
is one of the oldest,
- No Yule!
(Dr. Sarina laughing)
- That one had a biscuit, the other one had creme de menthe.
This is just, - We got a cinnamon stick!
- I know, but,
- It looks like a Yule log.
- Yes.
- That's something.
- Something about this that you're just like,
"Ooh, is she gonna spill, is she not?"
It's just so fun.
- Feels a little dangerous.
- It does feel dangerous.
I think you're a woman
who likes a little danger to be honest.
I'm sensing this vibe.
- It's not comparable to a normal martini.
Because this is a martini
in the same way that an appletini,
or an espresso martini is a martini.
As in, not at all.
- It needs to slap you in the dick, straight off.
Otherwise you're just gonna focus on your Kwanza,
and your Hanukkah, and your Christmas treats.
- Yeah, exactly. - Do you know what I mean?
- What is Santa Claus?
Who is Father Christmas?
- I do like when a big man comes down by chimney.
(both laughing)
- I like experiencing other cultures,
especially through alcohol.
- Yes, yes, yes.
We were here for a cultural experience
and we got it.
- I'm feeling happy.
I'm feeling weirdly energetic.
I'm into it.
Bring on the festivities.
- Absolutely.
I felt like we went on like a little cultural tour.
- I think we could be drunker, but we're nicely buzzed.
- You know what I think we are? I think we're married.
- Aw!
Yup.
- Yes.
