I've actually spent a long time trying to recreate Captain Morgan's Tattoo Rum. The Chambord is a key ingredient, followed up with Jagermeifter. Use Captain Morgan's Black Spiced Rum if you can find it, if not the regular Spiced Rum will suffice. Gets you about 80% of the way there to what the original used to be. If I could find like a solid currant or a more citrus exotic syrup likely be better than the original or that much closer.

In an alternate Greek history where Sisyphus is replaced with Greg: One of the cursed cocktails is so bad that it threatens to take Greg's very life! He quickly whips up a piña colada with extra cream to stave off the effects. He'd heard that the cream might line his stomach, and afford him another layer of protection. It works! But it's not very good. Death, furious at his unclaimed soul, curses Greg for all eternity. The task, to make his extra creamy piña colada actually taste good, but using no measurements of any kind, and never making any forward progress no matter what he does; yet vehemently convinced he CAN fix it! Alas, poor Greg. Doomed to drink and taste and add to this sub-par, substandard, blasé thing unto the end of time.

I could bet money on the fact that the customer meant pineapple chunks instead of juice and coconut cream instead of cream of coconut (coconut-flavoured syrup).

i think the person who ordered it doesn't know how they're made and think the foam is from a cream and not from just...whatever it really is lol. they wanted more of that cream so maybe more coconut added? thats just how interpret that persons request anyways.
I used to work at a bar where the piña colada had heavy cream in. The big boss didn’t want to buy coconut cream, so we’d just use whatever cream the kitchen didn’t need. It worked really well tbh, but it did mean we’d have to ask about lactose intolerance when somebody ordered it, which got some very strange reactions

I once worked with a bartender who was really clever but also really lazy. It was a little nine seat bar in a fine dining restaurant, so there wasn't much space back there but people still expected him to be able to make whatever they had their heart set on. He got sick of having to muddle the occasional jalapeño for spicy margaritas (we didn't stock Ancho Reyes), so he had a brainwave: we had a bunch of little glass spritzer bottles we'd used for hand sanitizer mid pandemic, and a bottle of Everclear, both gathering dust. He infused some jalapeños into the Everclear and put it in one of the spray bottles, creating a literal pepper spray he referred to as "Evilclear". When someone would order a spicy marg, or any spicy cocktail, he'd just put a few sprays of that stuff in the glass or shaker to instantly add that pepper heat without having to muddle anything. He also had spray bottles of vermouth and Herbsaint for "rinses"

As a former barista the way I would make (and have made!) the spicy espresso martini is by brewing a shot of espresso into some cocoa with a bit of chipotle pepper and cinnamon. Pour slowly over an ice cube to chill it. Add vodka to a martini glass and stir it with the espresso mixture. Chocolate tends to bridge the flavor of coffee and spicy really well

I can't wait for Greg making a video showing what happens when you substitute syrups with Liqueres. I wonder what a Bee's Knees would taste like if you sub the Honey with something like Meed or Honey Jack.
Part of me wonders whether or not the Mimosa was supposed to be a dash of beet juice in an already orange juice mimosa? and I am happy to watch this descent into chaos. I've always wondered with these episodes if instead of replacing the base drink the 'alterations' are made to replace the modifier (like a while back there was a Midori something something where Greg replaced the main spirit and now I'm wondering about replacing the modifiers instead... I also wonder what circle of hell Greg would place the Disarono Dr Pepper w/ a dash of Ango and an orange twist?
About the extra-creamy piña colada: In Brazil (at least, probably in other tropical countries as well) there is something called "coconut milk", which is just that: extra-fatty coconut flesh blended until homogenized. The consistency is similar to heavy cream. It is very coconut-y, and adds a lot of creaminess to boot (it whips well due to the fat content). I think it would work in an "extra-creamy". Not only that, but if you use fresh pineapple, blended, instead of canned juice, the fruit itself becomes foamy/creamy, especially if it is a little bit underripe. Add something very high proof, like everclear so there is less drink-watering water in it.
@0Clewi0

For me that I don't drink alcohol so I just have it virgin style freezing the ingredients also helps to keep the foamy in it and the extra ice out. (also fruit not juice used on it) But yeah, that cream looks super watery.

Two things about Chambord, from my experience: 1) It often tastes slightly off, precisely because most people who buy it don't find much use for it, so it sits on the shelf (often in sub-par storage conditions) oxidising and ends up getting a musty, almost sulphuretted taste, sort of like old grapeskins or stale raisins. Like vermouth, it should be used quickly or stored in the fridge to prolong its life. And 2) It's one of those liqueurs that evolves in the glass; it really benefits from getting thinned out by the melting ice. I say this as someone whose favoured after-dinner drink was a Chambord on ice. So if you have a Chambord-heavy drink it's best if diluted with some water or give it time to settle, that'll help with the sickly sweetness and brings out the other flavours (which is another reason to consider point 1, because one of those flavours will be the old oxidised flavour).

I hate printers but I honestly find the older serial printers far less troublesome. Receipt printers are basically just rolling dice though...
When I used to bartend (at a Red Robin restaurant) we had a soft serve ice cream machine for the milkshakes so I used to throw a quick half second pull of ice cream into the blender when making piña coladas. It definitely wasn’t the way I was supposed to make them (and the RR company was not cool with going off recipe) but everybody LOVED the way I made them. I even had a few customers who’d only order them when I was bartending. When I used to make them according to recipe I’d get them sent back all of the time. It wasn’t a bad recipe but most of the time when people order them at restaurants they expect a more desserty slushy drink.
I don't swing by the channel very often, but it still crazy to me that you now have over a million subs! I remember stumbling across your channel a handful of years ago when you had less than a thousand! Well done!
I've made a spiced coffee with cayenne in the mix. It's easy to both under and over-spice it, but when you get that nice warmth it's fantastic! Not sure how it would be in a martini, so I may have to try it.
Greg's rapid descent into madness over the pina colada has got to be one of the most wholesomely hilarious things I've ever seen on this channel. I love this channel.
I would LOVE to see a spin-the-wheel episode where you try to make old fashioned cocktails with a random sweet liqouer. Like swapping the sweetener with peppermint schnapps or italicus
I love how every ice cube is excessively cinematic.
I love how the videos where multiple drinks are had are like an avalanche, starts slow and speeds up like crazy by the end. Awesome content! Keep it up!
Best episode in a long time! Love the that he tried to improve the last drink by simply adding more in the same ratio without realizing it.
I want to see an old fashion video where you substitute the sweeteners with various liquors now, would be a cool experiment.
hey there mr drink, i know i watch these videos disproportionately to the number of videos you put out, but your videos on actual mixology are very good also, it's just that these are so funny. thank you for making them (but don't stop making the others)
This format of video is next level stuff!
After that first drink I think we need an episode where you sub out simple syrup for sweet liqueurs and maybe you hit into something spectacular or maybe its just a train wreck but either way it could be fun.
I usually think of Greg as being the driving force behind this show, but the slight echo on Meredith's laugh at 13:05 makes her seem like an evil genius orchestrating this whole thing. She truly is Mer, the Great and Powerful.
Greg I love your show. You're legit the Bob Ross of late night bartending tv shows. ❤ genuinely love all of your content.
I'd love to see more episodes where you make up 'new' cocktails following a formula - this one or others - and give us the scoop on if they work well! Thanks, this is one of my favorite H2D episodes.
This is the most unhinged drunkenness we’ve seen from Greg in a loooong time. As much as I love it, I feel bad for what he felt afterwards lol

I'm just picturing his wife watch him stumble into the living room going "I made a creamy peeny and it didn't taste good so I made more and it still wasn't good so I made more again and then I added mint which was bad but then I added more everything else and it was good again"
Something about watching Greg lose it with the pina colada brought me so much joy.
I really just enjoy your content man, you are just pleasant to listen to. Keep it up!!!!
My thoughts went to baking spices for the "extra spicy" espresso martini. Things like cinnamon or nutmeg. It's not uncommon to have cinnamon as an add-on for an espresso at a cafe.
Capturing the spirit of the whole creamy colada receipt was a sight to behold. 10/10 Greg; serve that up at your next fancy dinner and watch the whole room descend into madness.
The last drink reminded me of a local drive-thru daiquiri shop. They told me that they make their Pina Colada Daquiri with vanilla ice cream instead of just freezing it like normal. It honestly is wonderful

Came here to mention this. There was a restaurant around here that used to make piña coladas with vanilla ice cream instead of ice and it was delightful.

You never fail to entertain greg. Keep up the quality work.
For the last one the customer probably meant more coconut cream and not actual heavy cream. i am still gonna try out what you made at the end tho just cus it sounded wonderful.

I’ve seen that receipt floating around in memes and they definitely meant extra coconut cream. The waiter seemed like a young person who didn’t know what’s in a pina colada. It doesn’t seem like that big of a jump to ask for more coconut cream.

Yeah I came down to the comments to say that. If I were the kind of person to modify a drinks order, I'd make it that way. Or certainly would over coconut it when making it at home because I enjoy them

But Pina coladas don't use coconut cream, they use cream of coconut, which is essentially a coconut syrup. It would make the drink far too sweet

Of all the things I expected from this vid, a piña colada breaking his mind and sending him into full agent of chaos were not among them, lol.
Noticing a slighty different ediiting approach in this video, I'm a fan this was a great episode, love you guys!
That spiral into insanity over the last drink was something straight out of Lovecraft.
God, I love the custom "yes you read that right" instruction on the beet juice mimosa ticket. Back when I was a server I used to do that all the time. Customer would ask for something insane and to save the bartender/chef from having to track me down and ask me "what I meant" I would just write "yes, really" or something similar

The ending is one of my new favorite things I’ve seen on the internet. Thoroughly enjoyed the drunken creation of the drink and ending with “Yea sure do that! Whatever the hell that was.”
Absolute perfection 💜💜
Good episode I thoroughly laughed. Really reminds me of my collage days where we just went off the walls and started making crazy stuff just to get drunk.
The evolution into a drunken mad mixologist with the Xxtra Creamy Peeny had me in 😂. I will try to recreate this over the weekend.

I would have interpreted the Chambord Old Fashioned as still using whiskey, but subbing the Chambord for the simple. I have subbed liqueurs for simple in my O.F. many times, just to switch it up.
I have no idea what he was doing towards the end there, but I love that he just gets more and more totally unhinged!
What i love is your inspiration and you try something and dig deeper, the tinmight say 7 types of wine but i know crazy greg is in there whipping up something ive never thought of
On the subject of replacing the sweetener in your old fashioned with a sweet liqueur - I do this a lot when making cocktails for myself and it's great. Using sweet nut liqueurs is always interesting and, if you're willing to totally desecrate the meaning of "Old fashioned," use gin for the spirits, a quarter ounce of velvet falernum for the sweetener, and your preferred citrus bitters. It's the rough balance of an old fashioned but with bright, clear flavors instead of brown flavors and the drink itself is glass-clear if you use a less strongly colored citrus bitters.

Another good trick is, when you get to the last little bit of jelly or jam, to make a cocktail in the jar using the last of it as the sweetener. Then, you just close the lid and shake.
Love how you can see the buzz slowly kicking in! Haha
Love watching the spirits take hold of this guy as the videos go on 😂
The main problem with letting liqueurs like Chambord or even Schnapps sit around for years is that they eventually take on a rancid quality that resembles nail polish in aroma, and is quite vomit-inducing in flavor. I feel for you, Greg.

The other problem with such cloyingly sweet liqueurs is that it takes so little of them for any one cocktail and you are left with a hugely expensive one trick pony. The only salvation I’ve found for Chambord is champagne or Prosecco. It can save a really rotten bottle. Although ice cream or pancakes might not be horrible. I have a “holy hand grenade” left over from New Years. Perhaps some experimentation is in order.

Love the progression in this video, from odd but salvageable to why? to actively bad to pure insanity. Great stuff!
This descended into madness at the exact right time
Yes mate, wonderfully done and thats that, Tell us the hose power of that blender Love it don't stop
Speaking of replacing your sweetener with Liqueur. I highly recommend a revolver. Bulleit Bourbon or Rye. ( your preferred bourbon works as well) 3 dashes Angostura bitters, 2 dashes Orange bitters, and 1oz of coffee Liqueur
The whole pina colada section was completely unhinged, and therefore by far the best thing I've seen in a long time.
8:17 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for quoting will it blend
Yeah, I'd LOVE to watch/listen to your podcast... You know exactly where a bit of humor could help, and every time you put in a joke that doesn't fumble very well. I like the idea.
I can only in vision being the extra creamy guy and wondering why everyone but he has their drink, as I look over to the bar and see the see the bartender slowly descending into pure unadulterated madness. What hell have I wrought upon a fellow man, deserved or otherwise. Then I get my drink and it's ok. 😢
The spicy espresso martini is so interesting to me. I can immediately imagine a version of it that is incredibly interesting and delicious but the process of how to actually create it is not obvious. I knew some bartenders in New Mexico who worked with some homemade Red Chile simple syrup for spicy Old Fashioneds and I think that might be a option
I love how he starts vs how he ends... great to watch the journey.
"Old fashioned with a sweet liqueur instead of the syrup" was my immediate thought upon hearing the words "chambord old fashioned", and I was sitting there going, "why is that insane? I think it would add depth" only to realize it was interpreted as "sub whiskey for liqueur". I'd love to see an episode of similar replacements. As for Pina colada guy, maybe he was asking for extra cream of coconut? Honestly I'm surprised the pineapple + cream combination worked at all; I half expected it to curdle. I got nothing on the beet juice mimosa though.
I was saying the whole time during the espresso martini “MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE!” Bless you Meredith for that!
As somebody who has made chambord old fashioneds for myself many times in the past, I would definitely say bourbon works best (Four Roses is my go to) in the drink. Would love to see your takes on the different sweet liquors used instead of syrup!
This episode still makes me smile inside and cackle on the outside.
Went a bit off his rocker there at the end and I loved it.
