To make a proper KiBa, you pour the banana nectar _first_ and only then the cherry The banana nectar is heavier and more viscous, so when you pour the cherry juice into it, it has to punch through the banana and they stay separate more, balancing the flavours It also makes nice patterns, which makes it look nice The way Uyen made it, with the cherry fist, makes it so the juices mix more, creating a more uniformly red banana slurry with less prominent cherry.
Radler means bike rider, which many Germans do on weekends. We embark on long bike rides, and when you have “pit stops” you don’t want straight up beer. Watering it down with either lemonade makes it less alcoholic. You can ride on with a little tiny buzz, but still traffic able
Lemme clarify: "Bicicle Rider". It is not the "cool Hells Angels Drink" - it is the opposite for some. And Radler is no Beer - as Whisky-Cola is not Whisky. Radler is Radler, and Whisky Cola is Whisky Cola. It is ok if you prefer that. Eitherr, you are more of a physical Guy and prefer to deal with the physical tocxicity of the Alcohol or you are more of a ... mental... nope.... psychic... no.... lets say theoretical Person that rather deals with the emotional toxicity coming with the consumption of it.
Im half German and live in Canada the German side of my family is basically all passed on and I never got to learn to much about German culture except for some of the food my Oma Opa use to make me . i was pretty young when they passed away including my father. Your videos help me to learn more about German culture. Thank you for sharing! 😊
My uncle, his children and their children live now in canada in Alberta and one of the third Generation moved back to Europe cause of the attitude. Just try some things or come and visit us 😅
@@Laleolie don’t worry I can tell when your joking around I’m not that new to German culture, I’ve learned things here and there, I kno when you guys are just playin :3 and I always do some of my own research on the side, to verify things if I ever feel I need to look deeper into things.
@@VioletAutumn- Haha, sorry- didn't mean to imply you don't get our humor. It's just that some of these are so borderline true/hyperbolic. ; ) I hope you're having fun finding out about your family's roots, tho!
It’s funny that you mentioned Spain as an example for a country that wouldn’t understand drinking Cola Rot because I live in Pamplona at the moment, and in the north of Spain this is their favorite drink for going out. 😂They call it Kalimotxo! ❤
Yes, i came to say the fermented cabbage and fermented bread drink can be used to sour soups and all kind of food. Cabbage one can be used when making sausage or other heavy meat to boil in. Also good hangover treat!
I lived in Germany for 3 years and worked mostly as a waitress, but i had forgotten all this drinks, specially Kiba, wich i loved!! So thanks for this fun video, it brought back many good memories
In Spain, there is a drink called "tinto de verano" ("summer red wine") which is made of red wine and a special lemonade, but you can use Sprite or 7up too. At first I thought it would be disgusting but it's actually my favourite drink now. Nice colour too 😊🩷
I'm Danish and lived in Germany. I love all things Scholle(?). Also I think elderflower is popular at least in Denmark because its easy to make at home and elderflower grows in large quantities 🌻
I've been living in Germany for 15 years now and I'm not familiar with about 90% of these drinks. I am, however, going to try ALL of them now! Thanks for the video! 😃
I'm German and didn't know half of them either. I'm no fan of beer or wine. Maybe a psychological thing as my dad was an alcoholic during my childhood and early teens.
Eierlikör and eggnog are very different. Eierlikör is much thicker and tastes mostly like sugar. Eggnog OTOH is usually the consistency of milk, probably because milk is the major ingredient. Eggnog also contains spices: cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
I've only had elderflower flavored things (In a important shop from Europe) a few times but I really liked it so now I'm growing my own elderberry bushes
It's interesting seeing what is the same and what is different between British and German drinks. Lots are really similar but some are really weird to me like the banana nectar and some of the cola mixes. the radler is called shandy in the UK and super popular in summer or if you don't want to get drunk. Fun fact my first ever alcoholic drink in a pub was a half a weak shandy (a half is a small glass, half a pint or about 250ish mls) when I was maybe 12-13 and my grandma bought it me.
That was such fun. I hope you did not get a headache, but you had so many other non-alcoholic mixers, you were probably, fine. I love your videos and I think that German oBy Friend sounds delightful. He;s a keeper!
We also drink Radler and Weißweinschorle in the UK, we call them Shandy and Spritzer. When I was younger I would drink them when we were away on holiday when my parents were drinking, I'm not a fan of Shandy, but even now I love a Sweet White Wine Spritzer.
I just moved to Germany last fall, went on my first Christmas market and I fell IN LOVE with Eierlikor. I am literally crazy about it, I try different Eierlikor sweets all the time (not actually drink it all the time, because alcoholism is no joke, even if the drink tastes nice)
Coca cola with, usually cheap, red wine is calimocho and as you said it is drink in Spain a lot, specially by younger people. And the coke with beer is delicious! I tried it first in a trip to Koln and I was absolutely surprised!
Beer & lemonade makes a Shandy. Copy Paste: What is a Shandy? A traditional British shandy is a mixture of beer and lemon soda, most commonly a 50/50 ratio. If you like more beer, you can add less soda and vice versa. (Thanks to my niece, Chrissie, who worked as a bartender in the UK (amongst other places), and happens to be living in Sweden now, for the details on a British shandy).
In austria we have a beermix its called Goaß (meaning is Goat) u take a dark weat beer, cherry-liqueur (a shot) and coca cola and then give it a good mix with a spoon or smth its the drink of my youth and u can get drunk pretty quick
I fell in love with cider when visiting the UK. Strongbow was one of my favorites. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined when I came back to Germany and realized that the cider or Apfelwein sold in Germany doesn't taste anything like the ones in the UK. And also the same company of the Apfelwein you are drinking sells Apfelwein+Cola (it's the white can). So definitely true and not made up by your BF. And yes, it tastes a bit better than the other German ciders 😂
I think you missed some very statement drinks from Germany: Club-Mate (tastes like old ashtrays I think but many love it) Bionade (the original herb-flavour, a herbal lemonade) a proper Hollerschorle (Elderflower-Schorle) with a high-quality syrup - and while I usually also tend to drink zero sugar softdrinks, elderflower syrup is something where the taste definitely suffers when done without sugar (also, buy it from a local farm or from the Biomarkt, they have pretty good ones!) Vodka-Shot with Ahoi-Brause Ficken (a berry-esque liquor) Sekt-Mate Mead (honey-wine) Federweißer (veeery sweet, almost non-alcoholic fresh wine, only available during the designated season) Paulaner-Spezi (there's a HUGE difference between Mezzo Mix and a proper Spezi, especially the Paulaner one) BUt I really enjoyed the video :)
Like wine, cider comes in sweet and sour versions. Both are made the same, you get some juice, add yeast, the yeast turns sugar into alcohol and for the sweet version you stop the yeast before all the sugar has turned to alcohol and for the sour vesion you just let it run until all sugar has been turned to alcohol. Sadly in germany the cider ('Äppelwoi') ALWAYS is made in the sour version, while nearly everywhere else you can also get the sweet version. In the grocery store you can often get cider from other countries and then you probably can get the sweet version too.
For beere and coke you have to use regular coke with sugar. Thats why we have this mix: for peapole who don't like the bitter taste of beer. And this small Jägermeister is a shot. It is "illegal" to not drink it at once. I knew bars where they kick you out for this.... or they say it and don't let a "no" count until you repeate it at last 10 times ^^
The expectations vs. reality differential on eggnog is pretty intense. Try a sweet cream liqueur like Bailey’s, 1:2 with vanilla rice or oat milk, and add a half shot of Fireball or cinnamon liqueur for flavor. It’s still creamy but less viscous, and the absence of clove and nutmeg makes it taste less like a spice rack or medicine cabinet.
Ich liebe Bananenweizen :D Und Kiba-Weizen, also mit Kirsche und Banane. Ich freu mich, dass du ihm eine 9 gibst :D Cola Rot mag ich auch ganz gern, wir sagen Corea dazu xD
As I can see Brottrunk is similar to Russian kvass, also made of bread. There are two different kinds of kvass: clear or white like this brottrunk and also dark one, which tastes like malz or malt
In the US there's a pre-lemonaded beer called Lienenkugel Summer Shandy. It's really popular in the upper midwest, but I can still find it here in Texas. Also, the sauerkraut juice reminded me of how pickle juice is used for hydration. Some people have some when they're sick but in the summer you can freeze it or put it on shaved ice.
I also prefer cider to wine or beer, but it has to be a sweet cider! I recently started trying fruit ciders and they're usually very sweet, so it's much better. Strongbow is a sort of in between (I can drink that too but that's my threshold), but you can get very bitter ciders that I absolutely cannot drink.
I loved the lemon beers you could buy in Germany. We don't really get them in Ireland (at least in my county). But I'll have to look for some nice lemonade when summer hits and make my own.
A friend of mine once ordered a Bananenweizen in a bar and the bartender called it "Moppelkotze" (translating to podge/pudge/thick vomit :-D) Take that as you like^^
Over here in the UK, beer with lemonade is called shandy. Quite a few people drink lager with lime cordial as well. Jagermeister tastes exactly like Benylin cough syrup with a dash of vodka. Bad memories. I tried Mezzo Mix in Germany during an exchange visit over 30 years ago - never knew it was Coke mixed with Fanta. You missed an opportunity to try an English traditional drink that was very much in line with what you did - beer mixed with English cider (like Strongbow), which we call Snakebite.
Elderflower is pretty popular here in the UK. We also have jager, but it's almost exclusively drunk by students - often as jagerbombs. You need to come to the UK and try proper cider: Strongbow is not considered cider here! You should avoid scrumpy though, it's really strong and sort of farmyardy. I'd recommend a sweet cider or even a rosé one for your tastes - Thatchers make a nice rosé cider and also some flavoured ones like blackcurrant and orange. We definitely don't have that fanta and coke concoction though! It looks like the sort of thing a child would make... 😆 My friend got married in Germany and there was a pre-mixed apfelschorle that was very nice. I'd probably call it appleade in english, but I've never seen anything similar here.
Cider is quite different in different European countries. Strongbow is a British style cider (and quite a mild/weak one), French cidre is more sparkly and winelike. The German one is a bit of an acquired taste.
Jägermeister should be served in very cold temperature. We always store these in freezer.😉 And a lot of german didn't know Sauerkrautsaft. They realize that drink when they bought the wrong drink (most of the time is Beetroot juice)🤣
I mainly drink "radler" alcohol free. I like it as a tart lemonade, but when i drink alcohol, i want a bit more kick in my drink, and when i don't... Well I don't want any. So beer for beer times, and alcohol free Alster for day to day. Oh, also i usually call it Alster, which is short for Alsterwasser - basically hamburgian River water. Used to be the standard name for it in Hamburg and here in it's wider area, but it's lost a lot of ground to the Radler name, mostly due to almost all drinks nowadays being marketed interregionally and thus having "radler" on the bottle.
Lemon elderflower bitters is a very good variation on lemon lime bitters, discovered cos we were making them at home and we had elderflower cordial so went why not swap it with the lime cordial
The Klopfer demonstration was almost perfect, but each small bottle has a number written on the bottom. That number tells each person the number of times they have to knock 🤓 Also Radler is definitely not made with Pilsner neither is it made with Weißbier, it's made only with Helles. If you mix real lemonade with Weißbier, it has a different name.
The cola bier reminded me of a Korean drink called somaekco in the Southeast (Daegu/Busan). This is a boilermaker or a bomb cocktail, mixing beer with a shot each of cola and soju dropped in just before drinking.
Oh noo you only tried the Apple cider with Cola but you really need to try the cider with Lemonade! We hessians call it "süß gespritzter Äppelwoi" ITS THE BEST 😯 and its less sour cuz you didn't like the sourness.
i also think that Eierlikör is disgusting. but that only applies to store-bought Eierlikör. a few years ago i made my own egg liqueur and it tasted extremely good
When I was maried to a guy from Munich I thought it was really strange the mix of coke and fanta in the restaurants menu, WHY?! Weissbeer is sooooooooooo good! It's pure addiction
somehow, i am missing the Goaßmaß xD Dark Beer with Cola and Cherry-liqueur and the Golden Bembel with Care, in my opinion, the one with Quitte is so much better then the Black one.
Bembel is great, but I prefer the Gold one with Quitte (don't know the English name). It is kind of my favorite Festivaldrink, since I can't really drink beer.
Making a drink from bread is very German - crying into my Kwass... If you don't know it, it's a drink also gained from fermenting bread and is common in some Slavic countries and the Baltic.
Woodruff syrup is a strange thing. Atm it's woodruff season, I always make my own syrup. People tasting it for the first time are nearly always surprised that the sirup is neither green nor tastes like that synthetic stuff you can buy in the shop.
Weißbier und Zitronenlimo, das ist ja ein noch größeres Sakrileg als Helles Bier mit Zitronenlimo. Wheat bear and lemonade, that´s a bigger act of sacrilege then normal beer with lemonade.
