Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, listeners, thank you for tuning in, and his time
for another episode of the Cocktails and Mixology Podcast. It
is five o'clock somewhere and it's happy hour. What is
your pleasure? Last week we dove into a whole bunch

(00:22):
of cocktails, classic modern. We're going to continue on with
that list. If you didn't check out last week's episode,
it's worth going back. Although not critical, it's just that
you missed a lot of delicious cocktails. We got into

(00:46):
a list of somewhat ridiculous cocktails. Here's another one. The
Clive's Cocktail was served at Clive's Classic Lounge in Victoria, Canada.
This cocktail contains a rare vintage realm that's over one

(01:08):
hundred years old, along with some other fresh ingredients. The
cocktail can cost a few thousand dollars. This is thanks
to the age and rarity of the realm used. Next

(01:33):
on the list, and this is no particular order. By
the way, folks Ley Bella Epoch is known for its grandeur.
This cocktail includes ingredients like Louis Roder crystal Champagne, Grand

(01:57):
Monnier and high end fruit and edible gold. The sheer
beauty and sophistication of this drink come with a hefty
price tag though, up to ten thousand dollars. Maybe you'd

(02:26):
like the Diamond is Forever Martini. This extravagant martini comes
with a diamond studded garnish. It uses high quality vodka
or jen if you'd like, and the highlight is the

(02:47):
addition of a flawless diamond that customers keep after the drink.
It's a flashy and expensive indulgence. The Waldorf Astoria's Sultan's Martini,

(03:13):
a lavish martini for sure, is made with a rare
combination of the finest vodka and gold leaf. It's served
with a custom designed glass and gold plated stir. It

(03:33):
often has a price tag of about three thousand dollars.
So those were just for fun folks. Maybe you get
to drink those every night. Good for you. If you do,
you may be rich, but you're still an alcoholic. I'm

(03:56):
not judging. How about some of the most bizarre or
unconventional cocktails Some may surprise or even intrigue You ever
heard of the Prairie oyster. This cocktail is made with

(04:21):
a raw egg yolk representing the oyster Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce,
a dash of salt. You might as well sprinkle in
some black pepper. The Prairie oyster is often consumed as

(04:44):
a hangover cure, but it's more of a quirky drinking
experience than a traditional cocktail. How about a cement mixer.
See if your bartender knows how to make one of those.

(05:05):
It's more of a party trick cocktail. It's made by
combining Bailey's Irish cream and lime juice. When you drink it,
the acid from the lime causes the cream to curdle
in your mouth. This creates a strange texture and taste

(05:27):
that's definitely unusual. Sound good? Well? What about the pickle Martini?
A twist on the classic martini, This drink substitutes the

(05:48):
usual olives with pickles. The briny, salty pickled juice combined
with the vodka creates a tangy and savory flavor pro
file that may be an acquired taste. How about a

(06:09):
fish bowl cocktail? It is often served in an actual
fish bowl. This oversized cocktail is filled with various types
of alcohol, juices, even candy fruit, maybe even gummies. It's colorful,

(06:35):
definitely overwhelming, and a sugary concoction that's more about visual
impact than taste. Shock and awe comes to mind. This
next one, I don't think is unusual at all. It's
actually very delicious, maybe even trendy, depending on where you're at.

(07:01):
If you haven't had one, I will highly recommend these.
The smoked Old Fashioned. While the Old Fashion is a classic,
this bizarre version involves infusing the drink with smoke from
wood chips or even dry ice. The smoky aroma and
flavor can be unsettling for some, but it's a fun

(07:25):
and experimental take on the traditional drink. Have you ever
heard of the unicorn cocktail? This drink is often a
mix of bright neon colored syrups, glitter, cotton, candy, and

(07:48):
sometimes even lollipops. It's a visually stunning but intensely sweet concoction.
It is often designed to appeal to social media enthusiasts
more than traditional cocktail drinkers. You had me at hot Dog? Yes,

(08:14):
the hot dog cocktail is made with a hot dog.
One version involves a vodka, pickled juice and the juice
from a hot dog jar, often served with a mini
hot dog skewer as garnish. It's definitely a bizarre and

(08:40):
savory experiment in modern cocktail culture. What about the Absinthe Sassarak?
This cocktail includes absinthe, a notoriously strong and bitter spirit. However,
the bizarre part comes from the ritual of adding the

(09:02):
absentthe to the glass, followed by the sugar cube and
the bitters, which is then stirred with ice. It's not
for the faint of heart. The super drink That's s
o U p e R is a cocktail made by

(09:26):
blending actual soup like tomato soup or spicy broth, with
vodka or other spirits. It's a savory liquid meal and
a glass, and may come garnished with herbs or even
chunks of bread. It's perfect for the person looking for
something hearty but strange, A daring drink for those who

(09:52):
love a bit of spice. This martini combines vodka with wasabi.
That's Friday with Savvy Martini and a cucumber. The result
is a surprising kick of heat that's not something you'll
find in a typical cocktail. And you had me at Bacon.

(10:17):
Perhaps a strange variation of the classic bloody Mary swap
these celery stick for a crispy piece of bacon, sometimes
even using bacon and infused with vodka. It's a savory
meat twist on the typical brunch drink, blending salty, smoky,
and spicy flavors. Folks, I hope you've enjoyed this episode
