Hey Greg this is related to the livestream of the editing of this video and I heard you said you were considering moving to the Maritimes. I'm not saying do or don't but if you do move to the Maritimes (I live in NB) be ready to pay much much more for alcohol, a 750 ml bottle of Wild Turkey for example is like a little over 40 dollars here. Also there's no variety. Most liquor stores in Canada are government regulated or something so every liquor store in a province is basically the same and drawing from the same pool of products and they are definitely not the best, for example I can't find old grand dad Bourbon, four roses, Maraschino Liqueur, I think we have a single bottle of mezcal, the only vermouth we have is Martini basically, etc. Also unless you go through like a bunch of stuff you will not be able to have alcohol delivered or shipped from other countries or even other provinces unless you get a friend to send something (from within Canada) and just as an extra fuck you liquor stores will not do special orders or even have product moved from another store in the province to yours. Just wanted to say that since you are into alcohol haha

Okay, question. Without consulting a book or the internet, from your memory, what do you know of as a "Gin Blossom?" Follow-up: Same question, but for "Orange Blossom?" I feel like I crossed over from a parallel universe, because when I looked up the "Gin Blossom" to double check the proportions, I was looking at a drink I *never* had heard of before. "Orange blossom" was closer, but is still adding some ingredients I never used in it myself. I'm so lost! Do you have the "Bearenstain Bears" in this universe too?

of course he is wrong in his over simplification. Claiming "Wild West" is a myth and citing city ordinances ignores why those ordinances were in place in the first place. Vigilantism, wars between factions, and civil disorders were common in those days. Claiming that attempts to keep city life safe and maintain order shows that the Wild West is a myth is silly as shit.

@KageMinowara 3 года назад

@@MrChickennugget360 There's also the fact that the decision to control guns in a particular town was made because all the residents of the town got together decided that they wanted anyone entering the town to disarm. It was a decision made by the people who lived in the area, not handed down on high by some politician who lived 1000 miles away and who wasn't familiar with the particular situation of the particular town and who would never be effected by negative consequences if that law ended up making things worse for the townspeople.

@mightystu49 3 года назад

A thing to note, is that while many towns had strict gun control, much of the frontier wasn't in towns, and people did (as you alluded) a lot of bad shit outside of city limits. In much the same way most lynching happened outside city limits, fighting and heavy gun carrying/use was much more prevalent outside of towns. Posting signs to check guns at your city limits lets you know that lots of people would be showing up to town packing heat, and so they needed to have a law about it.

@pennyforyourthots 2 года назад

This is true, but considering the low population density across the frontier, that gun ownership likely wasn't for personal protection, but rather hunting or pest control. Crime rates tend to be fairly low when you can go weeks without human contact. It's a bit like Jim Bob rolling up into town with his squirrel gun rather than telling a bunch of crips to leave their weapons on the table ya know?

Even in the most remote desert towns, it got cold enough in the winter for pads and lakes to freeze. People would often cut the ice and store them in really cold caves in the mountains. 5th or 6th generation Nevadan here, I don't have historical proof, but thats what I was always told my family did. I even know the name of the mountain they stored ice in!

@aidanfarnan4683 3 года назад

On the point of the Gunfight at the OK Corral: it wasn't even that they refused to hand over their guns: they were on their way to a hotel to hand them over then Wyatt, who thought they had already booked into another hotel, confronted them about why they still had their guns, and as the other Earp brothers were trying to calm him down Wyatt shot first when everyone was looking at him, claiming after the fact that he was responding to someone drawing on him while no-one could see to confirm it. It was a confused panicked shooting that happened over a misunderstanding, in a tiny back alley, lasting only moments, and Wyatt was probably in the wrong, but that's not very romantic or cinematic.

bit of info concerning ice and drinks. In the 1860's goldrush in Australia, Ballarat as an example.Bars had ice (at extra cost) for drinks. It was imported from EAST coast USA. Ice was taken from frozen freshwater lakes on the east coast, in winter, railed, packed in straw to 'frisco, then shipped to Melbourne Australia, THEN a coach trip to the gold fields. Our summer being their winter.

You can literally carry several gallons of gin and tonic in your inventory, but Arthur cant figure out how to mix things in cups. The closest you can do to an old fashioned is chug an entire bottle of bitters before chugging the entire bottle of whiskey and then jump up and down to mix it in your stomach.

Dunno if you'll get mileage out of the rest of the series, but I figured I'd request: In Jurassic Park 3, Alan Grant orders a "Ice Pick, Catfish." and his young ward says "Two please." At first I thought he was specifying the vodka, but there's a vodka called CatHEAD not fish. And there's a Catfish drink, so did they order two drinks each? For a business lunch? Regardless, I think you could probably make something a little more elevated out of what's basically a boozy Arnold Palmer and/or peach schnapps in whiskey.

Honestly, I agree that a lot of bartenders would 100% have been using some kind of syrup back then instead of granulated sugar. For one, granulated sugar's ability to dissolve is entirely dependant on the temperature of the liquid. So back then it would just be a waste of time, and frankly a waste of sugar, to put it in a cold drink because it would barely dissolve (As we even saw in the video). And syrup in it's most basic form is literally just sugar dissolved in hot water that is then reduced until it's at the desired thickness/concentrate. It wouldn't have been that difficult to make or procure.

Thought the black cowboy thing was interesting, so I looked it up. 25-33% of cowboys were black, but specifically from 1870-1890 after slaves were freed (Red Dead Redemption is set in 1911), and their population quickly dissipated as they found better paying work (ex: homestead farming). Apparently, being a cowboy was like working McDonalds in that it was low paying work that kids found as a first job, and it was too physically demanding for anyone to do for long. Also, the percentage of black cowboys depended on where you were, but I didn't immediately see anything about where the largest populations would have been.

"Mint grows like a weed." Tell me about it. I planted a variety of herbs a few years ago but didn't really work to maintain them. Everything else died off, but the mint would gladly take over my backyard if I didn't keep mowing it back.

I wonder, would Bitter Truth Creole Bitters go well with a Sazerac?

behind the bar's video on the sazerac claims that the cognac sazerac is a myth, and that it was always a rye cocktail. id be interested to see which is true
