“High-octane, low character drinks” – gotta love vodka.

I’ve never put an old fashioned in an old fashioned glass, always in a rock.

@pgrimmi The text’s got it backwards. Odd mistake to make, I think.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:49 am
cool. do you have the rest of the cocktail episode?
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:42 am
@pgrimmi Actually, they’re completely backwards… The tall one is the highball glass, the small one the old-fashioned.

Probably one of the best Good Eats I’ve watched.

though I would never question AB, I have noticed an error. When he talks about the highball and old-fashioned glasses, he calls the highball glass a collins but the graphic says different!

That bar looks cool.

@khesed omg that looked so fun

Actually, I’ve used this recipe of Alton’s for a while and always found that since the drink changes character a bit toward the end – it was more interesting. I like green olives so getting toward the end where that olive (or two, or three) start to join the party made it enjoyable. Perhaps swap the olive out in favor of a slice of orange or lemon? It’s not quite the same but the sweetness would do nicely throughout.

… Remind me to never let Alton near an ice pick.

You might want to put a tooth pick in the olive so you can pull it out and eat it before you get done with the drink, or if you really don’t like the olive brine taste make a gibson same recipe with a small onion instead of a olive.
I personally like the brine taste of a dirty martini but you are the bar tender and make what your taste buds like.

Sean Cunnery style Bond. Excellent. *^_^*

I tried his martini recipe. Good, but it got nasty toward the end, with the brined olive being at the bottom of the glass. I think I did something wrong…

Trying mixing Alton’s blueberry syrup with hard lemonade and gin.

this is a very useful episode, i’ve made the daiquiri and martini. i recommend making your simple syrup with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:15 pm
yeah is subed both of them
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Im 11 and i think this episode rocks

“Sharon Stone Style” LOL

I love the jazz theme throughout.
That’s a niiice vibe.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:51 pm
it looks like fun chiping the ice…
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I imagine it must work well – it’s called an “ice pick.”
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:23 pm
i don’t drink (family history of alcoholism, don’t feel like taking the chance), but this is still a really cool episode.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Works better than a butter knife. Don’t ask me how I know.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:46 pm
when he is hacking at the ice, does that tool actually work that well? it seems too…effective at breaking the ice.
