Great theme for a cocktail!
You deserve an academy award for the acting in this one, and the drink sounds pretty good too!

Thanks, Ann!! Yes, definitely one of my favorite shows ever, it was a blast end to end making this send-up of A.D. By complete coincidence of course, I made a drink with chartreuse, no idea it was chartreuse-week! But hey, I'll take it! This was a fun one! Cheers!
Great intro!!!! This was def a funny show!!! I need to get that Whiskey for sure!!! This sounds soooo tasty!!! CHEERS!!!

Tim!! Yiss, I love Ardbeg in general, but Wee Beastie is a fun extra-peated 5 year aged that is super reasonably priced. Def recommend! Cheers, buddy!1
This is the most dangerous video I've ever watched, where I have to reevaluate my life... I'm sometimes thinking, it's not going to ever get better than this, so I can just leave now... This was the greatest video I've seen and if I retire from youtube, it's because of this video... Bravo to the both of you! I'll start a final countdown until I have this cocktail...

Hah! Thank you Matt for the immense compliment. As you can probably see, this is probably the most fun we ever had producing an episode. I had previewed the ep for some other A.D. fans, and thank goodness they gave me the idea to tack on the "On the NExt.." at the end.. I had to find a way to shoehorn in a [ footage not found ] moment. Also, i like that Final Countdown reference, hopefully this drink makes you go: "oh COME on!!"

Is this a new format? Something about this felt like a really fun flow. Can’t wait to try this.

Thanks, Vino!! It's basically an attempt to do faithful parody of how Arrested Development looks, with the white-backdrop snappy transitions, and that nasal voiceover. But, it's funny, it DOES make the show look better! hah. Thanks for watching, my friend!

This looks pretty good, I'd like to see if Mescal could be swapped for the Scotch. Great production value, please keep up.

Thanks so much for watching! I bet Mezcal would go perfectly in this cocktail! It would add that same punch of smokiness, perhaps even more-so depending on the mezcal! I may have to try it, it would pair very well with the banana!
This looks great! I need to see if I cn find everything but the Allspice. Everyone has that already right? RIGHT? The book you opened was Smuggler's Cove, wasn't it?

Haha. Apparently chartreuse is hard to find these days, but ya, can’t forget that allspice! That book at the end was Minimalist Tiki 😅

always so much fun watching your vids. Lots of videos with Chartreuse this week, I am lucky enough to have some green thanks to Matt, @icemancantcook. but the week has been a yellow Chartreuse week. cheers.

Thanks so much, Doc. Ya, I loove chartreuse, it always adds such a nice herbaceous aroma and flavor, with Yellow being a bit more sweet, but still very effective. Cheers, buddy!!

When that Matt guy is 100% sure of something he is 100% wrong... Thought Green was the better and more popular one... I still don't get why everyone is showing off their chartreuse when you just can't find it... It's like they want us to use up our stash...
