On this episode of How to Drink, I’m going to be showing you how to make the best brunch cocktail on earth, the Gordon’s Breakfast. This is a Gin and Cucumber drink courtesy of Milk+Honey, and it is one of my absolute favorites! Now, the Gordon’s Breakfast is a variation of the Gordon’s Cup, so I will be making this drink both ways but either way both are sublime brunch drinks. Hope you enjoy, cheers!
This drink was originally invented and served at the world famous Milk + Honey in the Lower East Side of NYC. That bar that really kicked off the modern speakeasy scene with it's complete lack of a sign, no reservations, no menu, and clever list of rules for patrons to abide by. It's also the place that set me on the path that lead to How to Drink, so it's near and dear to my heart. Sadly it's gone (though the bartenders who worked they opened a new bar in the same place called Attaboy: tremendously fantastic) but the recipes and concoctions that made it famous are available in the book: Regarding Cocktails by Sasha Petraske. Tragically Sasha passed much before his time, far too young, and left a very long shadow over the world of mixology, he is deeply missed.
Gordon's Cup Ingredients:
- 8 Lime Wedges
- 4 Cucumber Wheels
- .75 oz or 21 ml of Simple Syrup
- 2 oz or 60 ml London Dry Gin
- Garnish with Cucumbers & Limes
- Add Pinch of Salt & Pepper
Gordon's Breakfast Ingredients:
- 6 Lime Wedges
- 3 Cucumber Wheels
- .75 oz or 21 ml of Simple Syrup
- 2 oz or 60 ml of London Dry Gin
- 2 Barspoons of Cholula Hot Sauce
- 1 Barspoon of Worcestershire Sauce
- Garnish with Cucumber & Limes
- Add a Pinch of Salt & Pepper

Get this man on Hot Ones

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I’m available and willing!

@yegplayegpla8904 6 лет назад

Serge Harboian I was just thinking this! Great idea

@Joel-hn5vg 5 лет назад

Or have Sean Evens come over to How To Drink and try out some of the hottest drinks from around the world.

@FranklintheTMNT 5 лет назад

Get that slow motion shot on the last dab

@paok3131999 5 лет назад

Oh my god yes, we need to know more about him

@boarderking133 6 лет назад

Also... Never change. You, your production, your style, this format, everything going on here...is perfection.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@ryanaugust 4 года назад

One year later, he’s only gotten better!

@jasoncown 6 лет назад

The importance of this format is in its informality - the connection between the viewer and the host, a 'real person' is huge.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

😍thank you!

@jasoncown 6 лет назад

No, thank YOU! And the whole production team!

@jeaves812 6 лет назад

After making both of these (...a handful of times) I was unhappy with the cucumber seeds left floating in my glass after shaking. So, I did a cucumber infused simple and replaced the .75oz Simple with the infused syrup. Also, I cut the cucumber garnish into spears instead of wheels, and it made the glass a little less crowded. This is the drink you bust out when someone says "I've never really liked gin"

@lars_4916 6 лет назад

Tried it today to impress a girl. Welp, it worked. She was sceptical about the pepper but she loved it. Thanks!!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

That’s what I like to hear!

@tomkenning5482 5 лет назад

I can get fired up about anything if there's someone who is passionate about it, and you get me fired up about cocktails. I went from casually liking them to loving them with your channel, your knowledge and passion is amazing

@metronommie 6 лет назад

I love everything about these videos! from the HQ production, slo-mo shots, familiar background music, and best of all how I can enjoy those snazzy looking cocktails vicariously through you, Greg! Keep up the good work guys

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@boland73 6 лет назад

I love the slow-mo in this!! It’s always done at great moments like pouring

@sinnison23 6 лет назад

I feel like if you're going to garnish with lime wedges and cucumber wheels anyway, just go ahead and do the open pour.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I agree actually, it’s a concession towards presentation I wouldn’t make at home or in a darkened bar, but under 20,000 watts of light I do

@realisticnoodles8542 6 лет назад

God it's so nice being able to watch new videos again! Re sparking my love for drinks, thanks Greg!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Happy to help!

@nmarrs8539 4 года назад

I’m an alcoholic, sober for a year and some change. I love your show. It does make me go, “man I could’ve been drinking with some class.” Instead of the cheap vodka and orange juice. Ah sai la vie

@ricardocarrasco4903 5 лет назад

I love how you actually react to the drink like any other person would. It's true and authentic.

@elemopinata 6 лет назад

I never knew this had an official name! This is absolutely my favorite drink. I've also had it with a little elderflower in place of simple and it's soooooo good. The cucumber and elderflower combined with the gin botanicals just feels so springy and bright.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I could see a dash or two of elderflower being lovely here!

@Khamis1203 6 лет назад

YES more videos :D I love watching this channel grow, really great content.

@BazDap 6 лет назад

Really good to see you back and making videos man, your channel is one of my absolute favorites. These drinks look fantastic too.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@conorbryant5103 6 лет назад

I can't wait for the rest of this season with the new recipes, chasers and bar tips, cheers Greg!

@BlueSeaOtter 6 лет назад

amazing drinks, I'm so happy you are back you have inspired me to make cocktails. My friends love coming over due to the forever expanding drink options. Thank you Greg

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Glad to help!

@Irishringo 6 лет назад

That deer is staring into my soul

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Yeah, that's what it does.

@fuchigama 6 лет назад

Great to see you back. Even though I can't drink yet, it's entertaining to see all the unique drinks and the pours and slow motion is fantastic.

@lumberjackmagnum7416 3 года назад

I firmly believe that this episode is the beginning of the modern "How to Drink" formula. It is a longer episode, containing many of the absurd, hilarious, and entertaining aspects of Greg's character as he recreates a beautiful cocktail.

@rdizzleoriginal 6 лет назад

Just in time for summer cocktail parties! Keep the lineup coming

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

They're coming!

@KayinAngel 6 лет назад

Just made a Gordon’s breakfast. Nice mild heat balanced with sweet and sour. I dig it. Love the show. Keep at it.

@thomasjennings2585 4 года назад

This is the only cocktail channel you need to see, only discovered Greg a month ago and he’s great!

@TheMattwasherein1992 5 лет назад

Keep coming back to this one greg. Having a gordons breakfast right now. Easily one of my favouite cocktails

@DaPurge 6 лет назад

Greg you can't drop these in the morning. Woke up and now I'm already craving a drink - definitely making these

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

But I GOTS to drop them in the morning... because that's when they perform well...

@loppyhoney 6 лет назад

so glad your back

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thanks Shaun!

@matthewgrizzly7808 5 лет назад

@joeparker6774 5 лет назад

just wanted to let you know that you are my inspiration for getting into mixology, I've only been bartending for a few months. your content is great and the production quality is amazing. thanks to you I am experimenting every chance I get with new flavours and combinations.

@Happretender 6 лет назад

Im loving the stories before he start making the drink. Feel more connect. Keep it up!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@CraftComputing 6 лет назад

Greg, that looks amazing! Definitely going to try a Gordon's Cup tonight.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Hope you enjoy!

@CraftComputing 6 лет назад

It was so good it called for a shout out in my post roll: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pJC5mdAvGTo.htmlm53s

Holy shit hey Jeff, I didn't expect to see you here.

@bigfatidiot 5 лет назад

As someone who always wanted to make cocktails I just love watching these

@gnarlucci 6 лет назад

I made these all weekend for family and friends. No one could get enough. I also tried adding a couple dashes of celery bitters, and I have to say it's not a bad addition. Thanks Greg!

@evanfuller8258 6 лет назад

Hosting a party for the girlfriends college graduation this weekend. This channel is going to help me stay afloat and keep everyone light and lit

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Glad to help!!!

@Adam-ob8em 6 лет назад

I'm dedicated now. Every video, a comment about you liking basically all the comments. I'm as dedicated as you are.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Let's do this thing.

@jacobday7779 5 лет назад

Your channel is by far my favorite channel for cocktails. You’re always bringing nice quality videos with a unique style. Plus the drinks are amazing. I work in a country club in north LA and have started using your videos for inspiration for our “drink of the week” and my guest love it. Thanks my guy!

@LazyWhiteK1d 5 лет назад

I made this drink for myself and a friend of mine and it’s now our favorite cocktail. Cheers. 🍸

@vgel 6 лет назад

audio balance is much better, thanks! love your show :)

@jong2563 6 лет назад

I’m so happy you’re back

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you! I'm happy to be back!

@Captain-Jack 6 лет назад

Had a long week at work, saw you uploaded this, ran to the store, just made one. Incredible. You are THE man, love your videos.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Wow! I can’t believe you made one of these that fast! Glad you enjoyed!

@coolshortguy 6 лет назад

This show is really awesome. it's entertaining and I love learning about new drinks I've never heard of before and seeing them in action

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thanks Sean!

@PhloodGate 6 лет назад

Great episode Greg, very informative. I'm not a gin drinker so I've had a bottle sitting at home forever and no idea what to do with it. Now I know, thanks!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Glad to help!

@addours 6 лет назад

I was just trying to figure out what drink to make the wife for Mother's day breakfast (last year I did your Ramos Gin Fizz)! This year I wanted to do something a bit more savory and this is perfect! Thanks!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Oh man, so happy to help!

@blizzard03 6 лет назад

You can't even imagine how happy I am about my favorite YT show coming back and kicking it! Great drink, great Greg, great production - awesome episode. MOAAAAR!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Moar to come! Thank you!

@onemanwulfpack5954 6 лет назад

Lovin' the content! Great persona, great set, and the recipes deliver every time. Thank you for sharing🙏🏼

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing! 😏

@colina1330 6 лет назад

Tried it. It's awesome. I wound up replacing the simple syrup and hot sauce with a few squirts of a chili-infused honey that I had in my cabinet after remembering that I don't have any simple syrup. It's a-niiiiice!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

That sounds pretty awesome! Glad you enjoyed!

@aaaaaaaaaaa5820 6 лет назад

More how to drink yes please

@TheDrunkenTenor 3 года назад

I made a Gordon's Breakfast today. It was SO freakin good. I had one YEARS ago while in NYC and fell in love with it. My friend and I could never truly recreate it, so thank you for the breakdown. It was a great drink to make while I can't go out for a proper brunch.

@isaklovland 6 лет назад

I always watch your new videos instantly, you are by far my favorite cocktail guy!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@JAMMStudioss 6 лет назад

Hey man, great content as always, I’m always super impressed by your production value and the cinematography of your videos, as well as the cocktails! Keep up the good work, and tell the crew to do the same!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@maxfrench7888 6 лет назад

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Pristine!

@NinjaKai34 6 лет назад

Had a bartender who I know, make a me a Gordon's cup the other night. So deliciously refreshing. I'm trying new stuff thanks to your channel. Thanks!

@gregoriush.q.s9625 6 лет назад

As always.. fantastic! And i am always early

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Good morning!

@bloodgain 6 лет назад

Sounds like a pretty good soup, but what drink should I pair with it? ;-)

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I’d pair it with a shaken tomato bisque

@mypal1990 6 лет назад

Made my start of the weekend. Thanks for the upload!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you Emmanuel!

@austinbedolla1299 6 лет назад

I love that you spent so long rambling/storytelling at the beginning. Great video.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I'm glad you liked that!

@slade13PKT 6 лет назад

Awesome episode! Doesn't get better than gin cocktails for brunch. Please consider doing a Gin de Provence! Obscured but awesome!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I need to learn that one!

@R3fug333 6 лет назад

Nice, little anecdote. I'd like to hear more about your cocktail experiences. Maybe your first cocktail ever or first alcoholic drink ever. If you remember that is.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I do recall the first time I drank a beer... I can't quite recall my first cocktail

@cornchipcharlie9370 5 лет назад

Majesticly simple

@Jonathan-qx5yj 6 лет назад

You knocked it out of the park on this one. I love both variations, and I think Gordon's breakfast might be one of my favorites!

@irondash 6 лет назад

Your confidence in this season really shows, and it is a good thing. Keep it up, it is getting better and better. But please don't change the style, it is still the foundation.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you! I’m confused though, have I changed the style?

@mistermaky01 6 лет назад

I agree man, I like it a lot, really feel-good mood going on

@irondash 6 лет назад

No you have not, and for that I am glad. Just tried to make you aware that I hope it does not change. It often does for some channels when it comes to food and drink, but if it's good it doesn't need to. You could become chef john of cocktails for that matter.

@jonathanleiman925 6 лет назад

Man, gotta try a Gordon’s Breakfast next time I’d ordinarily order a Bloody Mary.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Bring the recipe, it's not one that's commonly known to be honest

@MuteMax 6 лет назад

I love that light you have built into the bar to light up your drinks. Really clever.

@scottt2012 4 года назад

Getting these into my bar. Thanks for sharing.

@that1monkey 6 лет назад

Awesome! Also you should totally do a drink with that Plantation OFTD you have on your shelf there. I just bought a bottle of it and it's easily the best overproof rum I've had.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

It’s good stuff! Hasn’t replaced my Wray and Nephew but I have made some mai tais with it!

@Lordpeppe 6 лет назад

Another video!? Oh my god yeeeees!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Every Friday and also inbetween!

@Lordpeppe 6 лет назад

Just finished the video. I gotta say you have really sparked my interest in cocktails! I have a fun little one for you. Try a cuba libre but substitute the lime with ice cold limoncello. I think it makes for a refreshing drink with a little quirkieness ;)

@jakubmjartan 6 лет назад

this is quickly becoming my favorite channel on youtube to follow. great job!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

It better be!

@KenTaylorish 6 лет назад

Made this over the weekend for some people, it was very popular. Good job Greg! Keep the vids coming!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

This one is usually a crowd pleaser! Thank you!

@bigmclargehuge8219 6 лет назад

I don’t drink often (because I can’t stand the taste of alcohol like a wuss), but this video was fantastic and I’m 100% subbed because damn if I don’t hope to one day find the magic thing I can drink without looking like I ate a moldy lemon.

@bigbud6842 4 года назад

As you get older and continue to try new alchohol you will eventually find at least one good liqour you can enjoy even straight

@najahbrah 6 лет назад

THUMBS UP FOR BEING BACK! ... I havnt had a drink in months.. I.. I have to go tell my wife things are going back to the way they were now... it's ... at least your back, right!?

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I’m back! But uh, please don’t leave your wife for me, I’m taken.

@sirhandelno3 6 лет назад

Fantastic as always, Greg. Keep it coming man.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I plan to, thank you!

@joshuajordan5700 3 года назад

Any time I restock my bar I find myself looking through your channel to find good cocktails I’ve never tried. All I can say is HOLY MOLY this is a good drink!!

@PhatTrumpet2 6 лет назад

I know this is a cocktail channel, but is there anything in particular you enjoy drinking straight? A lot of worthy candidates on that shelf behind you.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Oh my yes. Blanton’s pleass

@ivarvuori503 6 лет назад

What cocktails would you recommend for watching the Eurovision (I know it's not a thing in the US but imagine a huge yearly song contest with European nations competing with their own artist)? Gonna try this one tomorrow as well, sounds right up my alley!

@MarkRovelli 5 лет назад

made this drink tonight... 2 thumbs up... the salt/pepper add-ons at the end made the drink perfect... thx!

@nicholaspham6234 6 лет назад

I love the added blurb about Milk + Honey.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you. Still miss that place, the second location was just coming into its own.

@MihaiViteazul100 6 лет назад

I think some crushed mint leaves would also be a fantastic addition.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

It might be, but there's also already so much going on in here, it might just add noise. I'll have to try it.

@MihaiViteazul100 6 лет назад

Maybe as as a simple addition to the Cup, not so much the Breakfast. I can definitely see it conflicting with the hot sauce in that one.

@Mrs.NewmansHusband 6 лет назад

FIRED UP!! Love it! ✌️

@bboybrumley 5 лет назад

What a great watch. I enjoyed it.

@coreydow5171 6 лет назад

Hey if you want to try a Canadian twist on the Bloody Mary look up a Caesar.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I’m gonna get on that. Is that the one that’s made with Clamato?

@coreydow5171 6 лет назад

How To Drink yeah! Invented in Calgary Alberta, every bar has their own spin on it. Bacon, maple, salmon, pickled, Montreal smoke spice. I just made the Gordon's Breakfast and I cant tell if I like it or not. It's so weird.

@errdale 6 лет назад

Great drink, Spring in glass! Swap black pepper for white pepper to get the speckles out.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

That’s true! You can do the white pepper, I learned that from a Thomas Keller video actually

@HumanTurnip 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story and insight into your life! Brilliant video as always!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you Ben!

@the_kaiii 5 лет назад

I've just started watching your channel, and damn I gotta say your show is LOVELY. Somebody needs to give you a medal! Maybe because of the background jazz that I love so much, and the way you just naturally talk through the show. It just never gets boring.

@drkirk6553 6 лет назад

Greg, Two things. First, wearable items like a tee-shirt or sweatshirt would be something I would purchase in support of your work. Second, a sign off may be, "Here's to drinking with you, on How to Drink". Plain and simple.

@theOriginalEamou 6 лет назад

Greetings from England Greg, love the show! Just a tip - "Worcestershire" is pronounced "wuss-ter-sher", rather than "wuss-ter-shy-er"!

@kr1886 5 лет назад

As a fellow Brit, I feel like punching a baby koala in the neck when I come across this pedantic bullshine.....credit to Tawny Evelyn for the koala quote!

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Thank you! Have a good one!

@LasstUnsSpielen 6 лет назад

Please don’t stop! World give these guys millions of dollars to do this for living. Please! (And please don’t die from alcohol addiction 👌 You’re too nice people to miss)

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

1 million dollars would be nice! No worries on the addiction side, I actually drink a LOT less than this show probably implies. It’s something I’m planning to talk about in the future.

@LasstUnsSpielen 6 лет назад

Yes but.... Its kind of a video addiction on our side. soooo please, you'd better watch out!. *written with a drink next to me*

@tawnyevelyn6117 6 лет назад

For never being a bartender, you actually don't have many cringy moments. EXCEPT every time you cut a lime, I want to punch a baby koala in the neck.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

What’s wrong with my knife skills???

@jramirezphoto 6 лет назад

Cut off the butt of the lime where it hangs from the tree and slice it the opposite way you did. It’s more for esthetics

@KyloB 6 лет назад

Punch a baby koala in the neck hahahahaha

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

Always appreciate learning how to up my game. Thanks!

@jramirezphoto 6 лет назад

How To Drink just a little detail. But as a bartender it bugs me when a bartender cuts it that way. Love your channel dude. Been watching for a while! 🥃🍹🍸
