aphkrasia: Club soda instead of water and now we’re talking!
a_calder: The bowl suddenly changed when ice got added in recipe #1
Roino: Hmm, ill stick to the 2 handles of fleishmanns mixed with 5-6 bottles of Hawaiian punch and sunny D
gghggg: Man I love this guy’s videos!
Recipe # 2 is the one I prefer.
PuppetOfFate: This seems so unnecessary.
ThroatpunchCustomers: I’d probably try these out even if they don’t look all that good but goddamn does he not know how to pour stuff into glasses?
He was like let’s make this tutorial and in the end of each one just goes fuck it, I’ll just spill it everywhere!
jaba_dabadoo: Sit for four hours…. ya… no ..
img_of_a_hero: So sugar. Much headache.
classy_stegasaurus: This almost makes me feel bad about me refusal to drink from punch bowls
renoops: The swap from oz to cups infuriates me for some reason.
Fatburg: I wonder how much (serious) experimentation has been done of the years to determine what types of alcoholic beverages mix well together?
wokedrinks: You’re making no punch without acid tho, where’s your lemon juice?
Metabyte2: You forgot the 2nd 500 mL aliquot of brandy in the first one.
LordNelson27: So this one is basically just Brandy and port with so much sugar. No thanks
Sunshine_Cutie: Nutmeg? Really? In trying to get drunk off something delicious, I’m not making a fancy cake
themaxviwe: As somebody who’s a teatotaller, what could I use as replacement for the liquors mentioned in this recipe.
doubleblax: These recipes look fucking awful.
Sorry, just my opinion.
At least everyone will be fucking trashed
Edit: sorry y’all, “awful” was the wrong word. I should have been more descriptive in that heavy, alcohol-laden punches bring memories of full stomachs, vomit, headaches, and chaos. (Not my own)
lexicaloracle: Wow, this looks gross. It’s a bowl of Brandy and Port. Nasty.
Sunlightshift: I was almost expecting you to actually punch the contents of the bowl at some point.
Cervidantidus: or buy punch from the store since it’s 2017 and not 1802 and we can just go do that
