00:00So should I, oh I'm standing there now, so should I press it?
00:03It's pressing, is it?
00:05Oh I can't.
00:05It's recording.
00:06I can't see.
00:08Oh my god, yes, see it's going.
00:11It is?
00:11Yes.
00:12Oh my god.
00:14Do we have ice?
00:16Well I'm gonna have to get ice.
00:19It's nice, honey.
00:21I mean really, it takes us five hours to set up the...
00:26Do you have the recipe?
00:28Well yeah, I thought that was my side.
00:32But you always change it every week.
00:34Well, you know, I just try, I change things up.
00:38There's no production value on this program.
00:40I know, there is none.
00:41I have a shoe string, that's what I said.
00:46So, anyway, welcome to Bottoms Up with LBFD.
00:50You chose a drink, I never even heard of.
00:54I did.
00:55But you know what I did hear about this drink?
00:58What's that?
00:59And I was wondering if that's why you chose it.
01:04It might be Taylor Swift's new favorite cocktail.
01:08What?
01:09I just thought it was great because this week was Fat Tuesday and I don't want a body change.
01:14If anyone would have heard that, it would have been you.
01:16You mean, I think that's true, Lauren.
01:19That's incredible.
01:20But what we're gonna make is because of Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday, I went for French Blonde.
01:27Because, you know, French and Blonde.
01:31And that's good.
01:32The French Blonde cocktail.
01:34I like it.
01:35The French Blonde cocktail.
01:37And it has many of my favorite ingredients.
01:39Some grapefruit juice, gin.
01:42I wish we had a nice, big, fresh grapefruit, but this will do.
01:47You gotta work with what you got.
01:48Wish them on hand.
01:51Look at that.
01:52Anyway, okay.
01:53Let's do this.
01:55So, yeah.
01:56So, what's it called again?
01:56The French Blonde.
01:58The French Blonde.
01:58Yeah.
01:59I think it's trending.
02:00I think it's trending?
02:01I had no idea.
02:02After you, it will be.
02:03Okay.
02:03Oh, yeah.
02:04Me, Taylor Swift.
02:05I mean, come on, Taylor.
02:06I think, well, I wonder if Taylor Swift knows what a French 75 is.
02:10The classic.
02:10She does.
02:11Oh, she does?
02:12I bet she does.
02:13I'm sure she does.
02:14She has 75.
02:15Doesn't she know everything?
02:16Because, you know, like a French 75, this has gin.
02:21This has lemon.
02:23Instead of like simple syrup, we're using these fancy kind of drinks.
02:28Which, by the way, we had because we have so much food in this house.
02:32It's insane.
02:33And there's such random foods like elder power.
02:36And you could top this drink off.
02:39With champagne.
02:40Make it a bubbly French Blonde.
02:42Like me.
02:44Like a French 75.
02:45I'm a bubbly blonde.
02:46So, we're doing this.
02:47We're going to do this.
02:48We're going to do this.
02:49Okay, let's do it.
02:49We're going to do it.
02:50Okay.
02:51The French Blonde.
02:52So, it is only one ounce of gin.
02:54Too bad.
02:55Unfortunately.
02:55I know.
02:57How kind of drink is this?
03:01Already.
03:03So, one ounce of gin.
03:06You like the blue?
03:07The Bombay Sapphire?
03:09You like the Bombay Sapphire?
03:10I did.
03:11That's really cool.
03:12Yeah.
03:12I don't like that drinks as much.
03:13So, we're going to do two ounces of Lilit.
03:16Lilit.
03:16What does Lilit take?
03:17French.
03:19French.
03:20It's a French.
03:21Isn't it French wine?
03:22If I remember correctly, it's a wine based French.
03:27How much are we doing?
03:28Two?
03:29Liqueur.
03:30Is that two ounces?
03:31That's sweet.
03:31That's a sweet drink.
03:33Well, listen.
03:34I only follow the instructions.
03:36I'm not doubting you.
03:37I just was like, you know, kind of being surprised.
03:40Like I haven't been known to make a mistake.
03:41Yeah.
03:43The elderflower.
03:44Easy on the elderflower.
03:45Yeah.
03:46It is easy.
03:47Let's do the grapefruit first.
03:48So, normally we would like squeeze a fresh grapefruit, but this is also the two.
03:52Hard to find, by the way, white grapefruit.
03:54So, by the way, the acidic and sort of bitterness of the grapefruit is going to balance out the sweetness
04:02of the sweetness.
04:03It's all about balance.
04:04There's all the theme of bitter and sweet in these cocktails, and I feel like that's
04:09the way it's going.
04:09That's life.
04:10That's life.
04:10Yeah.
04:12Oh, this one's stuck.
04:14We have another one.
04:16Nope.
04:16Got it.
04:16Okay.
04:17And we can do a half ounce of that.
04:18Want to smell?
04:18Mm-hmm.
04:21And...
04:22It's floral.
04:23This drink does call for...
04:26Yeah.
04:27This is a...
04:28A floral drink.
04:29It's very fruity.
04:30Floral and fruity.
04:31Yes.
04:32Floral and fruity.
04:33Yeah.
04:33And this...
04:35There you go.
04:35This drink does call for lemon bitters, but we're going to use orange bitters.
04:40Did you make those?
04:41I didn't make them, but I did put them in this cool dropper bottle, because why not?
04:47He's a scientist.
04:48Our voice is a scientist.
04:49Our voice is a scientist.
04:50And we're going to do a few dashes of the orange bitters.
04:55And then we're ready to shake this up.
04:57Lauren, we're going to use our Nick and Nora glass.
04:59Okay.
05:00Which has been chilling.
05:01Yep.
05:01We can use that ice.
05:02Yep.
05:03And...
05:05Nice glass.
05:07What's your favorite Taylor Swift song?
05:10On the new album?
05:12No, just any album.
05:14I don't know.
05:15I used to have one, but...
05:17Oh, you like the Stay, Stay, Stay song.
05:19No, no, you didn't.
05:20That was a different Stay song.
05:22Nobody cares what Taylor Swift song I like.
05:25They do.
05:26One time, when we were at a family dinner, we all went around and told them my favorite Taylor
05:29Swift song.
05:30Yeah.
05:30It was a real bonding moment.
05:32It was a bonding moment.
05:32I do like it.
05:33I think the new album is pretty good, though.
05:35I like that song.
05:36The one you like, Wishlist.
05:37Yes, I like Wishlist.
05:38Good one.
05:38Do you want to shake?
05:39No.
05:40You don't want to shake?
05:41Shake it off.
05:42Shake it off.
05:43It says to...
05:44See?
05:45See what I did there?
05:46It's a whole theme.
05:47It says to shake vigorously.
05:49Okay.
05:53Do it.
05:56Uh-oh.
06:01That's a good song.
06:06And that has what's-her-name on it, right?
06:08Sabrina Haberich.

06:37it
06:37down get involved let's settle a little it's not the right color it must be with the grapefruit
06:44right color because like so it can be pink if you use pink right which is usually what you can

06:55yellow
06:56grapefruit hue a little color and uh it's not blonde you want to garnish it with you know what we
07:02should

07:34like
07:34oh isn't that so nice
07:38you think it was all special you know what my favorite part about this is is not 22 dollars yeah
07:45that's why you should be making drinks at home everybody and listening to these cocktail recipes
07:49because it's way cheaper to drink at home it's also safer there's a lot of benefits a lot of benefits
07:58just nice smells nice tastes nice it tastes nice it tastes a lot like grapefruit juice well
