0:00
- [Woman] So it's y'all's lucky day again,
0:02
you hear my voice, but you're looking at Eddie.
0:07
And do you know why you're looking at Eddie?
0:10
'Cause I don't know too much about alcohol drinks.
0:14
- Holiday inns friendly bartender. (woman chuckles)
0:17
- And Eddie, from what I understand,
0:20
they say he makes wonderful cocktails.
0:23
So he is gonna share with us a recipe
0:26
for New Year's Eve, Eddie?
0:29
- Yeah, New Year's Eve.
0:30
if you're having a party, - [Woman] Okay, uh-huh.
0:32
- New Year's Eve punch, champagne punch.
0:36
- [Woman] Uh-huh, oh good.
0:37
You know, I have drank champagne before
0:39
and it's really good.
0:41
- Yeah, and you can sweeten it.
0:43
- [Woman] Yeah. - Different ways, so,
0:46
anyways we are gonna have...
0:47
- [Woman] So you've got some pretty garnishes right there.
0:50
- Yeah, we've made nice little ice block.
0:54
- [Woman] Mm-hmm, so pretty.
0:57
- [Eddie] You can make, you know, depending on what size,
1:01
- I mean, this punch, what you can do
1:03
if you don't wanna have a punch bowl,
1:05
you can go on and make it in a large pitcher.
1:10
- But if you have a punch bowl,
1:12
go on and make yourself a nice...
1:14
- [Woman] And we have a punch bowl, but look where it is.
1:19
And we ain't taking that thing down
1:23
- Yeah. (woman laughs)
1:25
- [Woman] We're gonna use a pretty glass bowl.
1:28
- Yeah, we're going simple.
1:31
- [Woman] Yes. - We're going simple.
1:33
- [Eddie] So, and this, I mean, you can just float
1:37
some nice fresh mint.
1:41
- Pluck some leaves off, I skewered some cranberries
1:45
and some rosemary. - [Woman] Mm-hmm.
1:48
- Go on and set it right inside the bowl.
1:54
if you do a drink and a pitcher,
1:58
you can do the same thing with some ice cube...
2:01
and freeze the cranberries. - [Woman] Now that's great.
2:04
- [Eddie] Some little garnishes.
2:05
- So you can put these in individual glasses.
2:12
- [Woman] I love that.
2:15
Now see, I wouldn't have thought about that, Eddie.
2:18
- Just a little extra.
2:20
And you can probably freeze,
2:24
this drink has some pomegranate juice,
2:26
so you can probably do the ice cubes out of that as well.
2:30
So that you have 100%...
2:31
- [Woman] The pomegranate, it would be beautiful in there,
2:34
In the frozen ice cubes.
2:37
So we're gonna start with one bottle of champagne.
2:41
- Listen for the pop. (bottle pop)
2:43
- [Woman] Oh my gosh.
2:44
No, I'm not nervous. (woman laughs)
2:46
Did y'all just see the camera jump?
2:51
So you're going to use a whole bottle of champagne?
2:54
- One whole bottle of champagne. (glass clink)
3:04
- [Woman] And what kind of champagne are you using?
3:06
- Well, you know, this is actually,
3:08
Theresa got me a Prosecco, so...
3:11
- [Woman] Is that pretty good?
3:12
Is that a pretty good brand? - Yeah.
3:15
It's a good, you know, brunch.
3:17
- [Woman] Mm-hmm. - Its like,
3:18
a lot of people like Prosecco.
3:21
- Okay, then we are going to add
3:25
a cup and a half of white rum.
3:29
- [Woman] Wow! That's a lot of alcohol now
3:33
that's straight alcohol
3:34
in that bowl. - Yes. (woman laughs)
3:35
Have you ever had chatham artillery punch?
3:38
- [Woman] Who? - Chatham artillery punch,
3:41
that they serve downtown
3:43
- [Woman] No, but I've had something similar.
3:47
My mother and daddy made hunch punch.
3:51
- [Woman] Yes. (woman laughs)
3:54
Artillery punch, sounds a lot better
3:57
- It has everything in it, but it goes
3:59
all the way back to the 18th century.
4:01
- [Woman] Yeah. - In Savannah,
4:03
with George Washington visiting,
4:05
it was a special punch. - [Woman] Special drink.
4:09
- And I think they just threw whatever they had in a bowl.
4:11
- [Woman] Uh- huh, right.
4:13
- [Woman] I bet it punched you too.
4:15
- We have a cup and one quarter of pomegranate juice.
4:22
- Give it that nice holiday look.
4:32
let's see, we're going to do
4:37
just some syrup water.
4:41
- And what you do, this was one cup of water.
4:45
- [Woman] To one cup of sugar. - One cup of sugar.
4:48
and just boil it down. - Go on and simmer it
4:49
for about five minutes, and then let it completely cool.
4:54
- [Woman] Well, good, something is going
4:55
in there besides alcohol, y'all.
4:57
- Yes, finally. (woman laughs)
5:00
And then we're going to add some lemons, float it.
5:05
And this is, we didn't do a huge amount.
5:09
I'm just doing, you know, like a one...
5:11
- [Woman] Just enough for you and me tonight. (woman laughs)
5:13
- You and I to put straws
5:14
in there (both laughs) - [Woman] Yes.
5:18
And then you can go on and float some mints.
5:26
- [Woman] Now you're just gonna serve that
5:29
- Yeah, we'll just do a glass like this here.
5:32
- [Woman] Mm- hmm. I love that you...
5:34
- And then you can go on and add some pomegranates seeds.
5:39
Oh, that's so pretty Eddie.
5:42
One day we'll have to do the artillery punch.
5:46
- Yes, you know, I almost did that for those,
5:51
but it really does call for a lot of alcohol.
5:55
So you've got to be careful.
5:56
- [Woman] Well, that's got a good bit of alcohol in it too.
6:02
So do you wanna try it?
6:03
- Oh yes, I wanna try it. - Okay, this is yours.
6:07
- [Woman] I just had a cup of coffee.
6:09
I know that it's gonna be good with coffee.
6:14
- [Woman] Oh, it does smell delicious,
6:16
the rosemary. - The rosemary and the mint...
6:18
- [Woman] Mmm, the first thing you smell
6:21
is that wonderful, aromatic rosemary.
6:26
- [Woman] So, cheers.
6:28
You wanna make a toast?
6:33
let's have the best 2022 ever.
6:38
- And as well for all your followers.
6:40
I hope it's a great year. - [Woman] Yes.
6:45
- Happy New Year. - I'm drinking some.
6:50
- Not bad. - [Woman] Oh Eddie.
6:52
- [Woman] That's really good. (both laughs) (woman grunts)
6:56
And you know how much you take to make me tipsy?
7:00
- Those will go down very, very easy. (woman laughs)
7:02
So you gotta watch yourself on those.
7:07
- Anyway, y'all have a very happy and safe new year
7:15
in the new year. - [Woman] In 2022!
7:19
Love and best wishes.
