JoJo and Jordan's Holiday Cocktails | Engaged

Is there fuzz on my lip? There is zero fuzz on your lip. I'm feeling fuzzy. So happy to have you back, babe. What is that? For week two of Holidays with Kin. Obviously last week I tackled decor with my mother. Let's see who's so bad at arts and crafts now. Oh shoot. Okay, it's okay. That's decor. Look! That's what they're calling it these days. It's us! That's cute. Where's Soraya's? Oh my goodness. Hold on, I actually gotta tell Mom. That's Mom! It's actually pretty cool. Oh, that's great. It's a little more festive than yours. Whose is better? No, I didn't say better. I said festive. Well, whose is better? Yours? Yes! I knew it. What are we doing? We're gonna make our favorite holiday drinks. I'm getting a little innovative with mine. First with decor, now... Is that it? Not feeling that. Real bad. Weird. It's a slippery slope. Also, I'd like to address and just get this off my chest. I broke my nail about 30 minutes before doing this. Yeah, it was a thing. How hard is that to see, right? If she hadn't have told you that, you would never have known. That's why I kept telling her. Have you ever had a Kentucky Mule? I've just had a Moscow Mule. Yeah, I'm gonna go get the mugs, which I frosted. Oh, you did? That's so smart. The normal Moscow Mule has vodka, that the Kentucky Mule has bourbon. So, dealer's choice on the bourbon. I'm gonna go with the bullet today, because it's one of my favorites. The frosted mugs is a... It's a game changer. And also just having a copper mug. Let's get serious for a second. Okay, serious. You cannot have a Moscow Mule or a Kentucky Mule without a copper mug. I'm making you one, too. Oh, yeah, please. I like to start with the bourbon. Ooh, I don't know if I like bourbon. You wanna smell it? Yeah. Is that a good idea? Probably not. Is bourbon like a whiz? What is a bourbon? It's a very complex question. Is it a whiskey? It's gonna be argued for a very long time. So, what's the answer? I don't really know the answer. Ready? That's smooth. It's really good. We're just gonna go, one little pour. What's like the normal ratio? Well, it depends, you know. If it's an ugly Christmas sweater party, you're really trying to turn up, you might start a little stronger. Staple of any mule is a good ginger beer. And I'm just doing this by sight. This is, you can taste it and kind of start to figure out your levels of what you like. Do people drink this just on their own? You can, but it's more of a mixer. No? Wasn't it, huh? Wasn't it. Well, that's why you mix it up. I wanted to mix it up a little bit and do something that was a little more holiday, so I'm gonna add some cranberry to it. Have you tried this yet? We're trying it right now. Can you find real cranberries in the store? This is my time to make drinks. This is where you're gonna kind of taste it as you go. Yeah, you want just a little subtle. Just a little subtle. There we go. You gave me a little extra. I appreciate that. I gave you a little extra, I did. Now, you can do real limes, obviously, or a little splash of lime juice. This is fresh squeezed. Fresh squeezed? Fresh. I'm hammered already. And then, can you give me something to, like, stir it up a little? Yeah, stir it up. This is optional, but something I like to do. A little bit of mint. Not only does it look great as a garnish, whether it's just right there in your ear, which is one way to do it, or around the glass, but also... Can I smell? Yeah, it smells good. Also, it balances out the drink a little bit. Do we need to wash that? That's a good question. You know, with the whole romaine thing going around, you just don't want to take any risks. It says rinse before use. Oh, there you go, wow. I want you to rinse that one. Got it. Be careful with it and bring it back in all one piece. It smells amazing. It does, right? So, question. Yes, answer. Question. Is this just garnish, or is this going to add flavor? It's a little bit of both, so that's why I said I'd put a little bit there, because I want to push it down. Like, muddle a little bit? Muddle. Muddle? And then here's where the garnish comes, and this is where... How are you going to get that? You just kind of put it right there on the edge. Nice, cute. Do I try it? And then there... She cheers it? ...is your Kentucky Mules with a little bit of holiday spin and cranberry. Perfect. Okay. Cheers. Mmm. See, I think it's good. Come on. Wow. Come on. Right? That is good. It's good. So, the cranberry, like, really mellows it out. You can't even taste the bourbon. I mean, I can taste it. So, you can make it a little stronger if you want to, but... Yep. My red lipstick's going to get everywhere. Yeah. That's okay. Do you look at me like I'm more of a man now? It was sexy. It was, like, sexy. You were, like, a mixologist. Mmm. Love it. My turn. It's my turn. You know me. I'm not a huge, like, liquor drinker. Nope. But I do love a good champagne mixture. So, what I'm going to do, since I'm so creative, as you can see behind me, I'm going to do my own concoction. Let's go. But what we're going to do is... Why is there five glasses? Because we're getting hammered. Just kidding. I have a few of my mixtures. I want you to guess what they are, and then we'll decide which one's the best. So that's what the tie's for. Because I'm going to blindfold you. That's good. But I don't know if it's going to stay. I've never done this before. Oh, God, can you breathe? Yeah, I'm good. Okay. So... Woo! Okay. I'm going to show y'all what I'm doing first. In the first glass. Okay, go ahead. What am I guessing? The flavor. Okay. Is it really good? Okay, my God. I'm going to guess apple. You're wrong. It was pomegranate juice. Oh! I'm 0 for 1. It's okay. You can bounce back. Guys, this is mixer number two. This is hard. The suspense. Does it taste good? Yeah. Well, I'm nailing these. Hold on. Grapefruit. Let me try it. That does not even taste like grapefruit. No, it doesn't. No. I panicked. You're wrong. It is a blueberry basil... Blueberry? Kombucha. Oh, I love kombucha. Which I thought you were going to get. I know. This is actually really hard. Are you finishing that off? No. Oh, gosh. I'm going to break another nail. Don't break another nail. You would think I get dipping powder and supposed to be strong as rock. Not today. All right, babe. You have three more. I'm 0 for 2. Plenty of time for a comeback. Everyone likes a good underdog, you know, babe? Mixer number three, guys. Hey, hey, the hair. Love you. Got it? Oh, it's coming in. Oh. That was sweet. That was coming in for it. That was sweet. Go ahead. Try again. What? Next mixture. Okay. Cool. All right. This is fun. You barely got my butt. Again. The whole not seeing thing. I need, like, something to reset the palate. Why are you laughing? I'm not. No. Oh, this smells florally. Oh. Call me an ambulance. There's Dr. Pepper and champagne in that. Cherry cola. Wait, what? Cherry cola? Are you switching it up? That's cherry. That's, that's, that's cherry. You nailed it. Yes! High five. You got it! So it was cherry syrup. Okay, perfect. It is actually just like cherry cola. He likes it. I'm feeling good. I'm back. That was a good one. I can't believe I missed the blueberry kombucha. I don't even know what this is, guys. Wait, you don't know what this one is? Don't worry about it. Oh, gosh. I saw this in the store and it just kind of spoke to me. Ew. Good luck. What did you do? I'm taking it all in. Good? No. Bad. Not, it's not my favorite. That is... pickle juice. Hey. What a bad guess. What is it? No, no, that's wrong. What is it? It's called grapefruit shrub. Grapefruit shrub? Do y'all know what this is? Grapefruit shrub? Grapefruit shrub offers a great combination of sweet red grapefruit and complex acidity. If y'all know what this is or if there's something I should be using this for, please let me know. Comment. Because we're confused. It tasted like pickle juice. Feet. Like feet. Like your feet. Oh, great. Yeah, just keep putting it in. Oh, the trust I have right now. It's a strong aroma already. I'm kind of into it. There's a lemon hint in there. It's very lemony. I'm getting hints of rhubarb. Nailed it. It's not terrible. What is that? I don't know. Can I get a hint? It comes in a can. I feel like it's... Let me try this. That's kind of good. It's not bad. Hey! I can't see anything. It's all blurry. Alright, you don't know. Take your blindfold off. What is that? It's a workout energy drink. It tastes like an upper and a downer and I don't recommend that. Now that we did all this, I've got to perfect it. Definitely not the grapefruit shrub because I was not feeling that. Real bad. Real, real bad. What was your favorite? Actually, it's weird. Oh my god, your eyes! Let's do this. What were your two favorites, you think? The pomegranate juice? Yes. This was the kombucha. You know, it was almost a little too subtle. Why don't we do this? Why don't we do a mixture of the cherry syrup and the pomegranate and see what that comes up with? I like that because the cherry was good. Good. Perfect. I would do just a little more of this. Okay. Just like a heap. Oh, it's been five glasses, guys. Okay, I'm going to do a splash. Bam. That's good. That coloring. And it's festive. It matches your shirt. Oh, it is. So should I try that? Yeah. Cheers. Cheers to hopefully perfecting a champagne sort of... We need a name for it. Let's see if we like it first before we name it. Okay. I like that. I really like it. I say we call it Santa's suit because it's red. And magical. Santa's suit. My freaking nail. Cheers to that. You want some punch? You want to eat some punch? You ready to party? What you want? You ready to party? You want some ice? He wants to... Oh, okay. Now that we've made our own little holiday drinks, we decided to do one of your recommendations. Fan favorite. A lot of you guys submitted a bunch of different drinks, holiday drinks that you like to make. There was one that really stood out though. Our girl Alyssa Lynn 14 threw us this... Interesting, intriguing... Thing. It's called a white Christmas margarita punch. White Christmas margarita... I mean... Take it in. I love everything in the title. Girlfriend, thanks for the rec. We're going to try this here at home today. I googled it. I have the ingredients. 10 ounces of silver tequila. Silver tequila? What's 10 ounces? Wait, wait, wait. You sure it's a good idea? Yeah. What does 10 ounces even look like? One, two, three. Looks good to me. It's like a big glass. Alcohol. Probably 10 ounces. Tequila. Check. We don't... These are all in ounces. Grand Marnier. Okay. 8 ounces of Grand Marnier? Well, eyeball 8 ounces. This is what you do. I mean, when you're making a good punch, you know a normal glass is about 8 ounces. Is that accurate? Yeah, it's accurate. Is this... I'm... I do not believe it. 4 or 5 ounces. Perfect. What's a liqueur? I don't know anything about this. It's what you put in margaritas. When you make good margaritas. Check. 8 ounces of lime juice. I like lime juice. Can't go wrong with that. 8 ounces. This is... 10 ounces? Where does it say that? Did you just make that up? You just made that up, Jordan. I just guessed. Oh, 16 ounces. So we need half the bottle. Perfect. I don't know. So maybe the tequila might have been right then. Yeah, absolutely. Party! Smell. You can never have too little tequila. Oh, no. Now it gets a little interesting. Yeah, 8 ounces of coconut water. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, eyeball. Jordan! That's what the cool people do when you do like... Okay, that's enough. We're gonna mess... We're gonna butcher this. You didn't follow directions to school, did you? No. Never. We all were at those college parties with some jungle juice. What is jungle juice? This. It's a big punch. I don't think I... It's just a mixture of a bunch of stuff and it's like, you know, ends up being really good. Alright, here we go. And we're moving on. Okay. It's starting to get weirder. 8 ounces of coconut milk. Milk in a cocktail punch? With tequila? We are branching out. We're trying new things. See, that just... You just don't think that would go in... Oh, it kind of smells like a pina colada. Okay. See, Alyssa, I'm with you, girl. Okay. We got this. Is that where we're going? What else? 6 ounces of coconut rum. Coconut rum. Oh, this is kind of like... This is kind of our... Tropical. Like I said, we're ballparking over here. Wait, that is it. Okay, so we need to stir. We need to stir this up a little bit. Oh, wait, wait. I have something good. Two glasses. Oh. Ladle. Oh, we don't have the fresh cranberries. I already called you out for that. Yep, we do have some cranberry juice. Little cranberry. It's right there. We didn't have the fresh cranberries, so we're kind of doing a little bit of an audible here, Alyssa. We're just going to... Oh, cute. You need the garnish. You know what? I think we have rosemary. Hold on, let me check. Score. Alyssa, it's pretty good. It's like a jalapeno. I don't see it. Keep looking. It's right here. Are you sure? Where's the rosemary? Oh, I found it. Stupid. You put more cranberry in that? Nope. Okay, so let's just do some like... Oh, that's nice. Literally already changed how it looks. It looks way cuter now. That's cute. You know, I think I said garnish to lighten. Yeah, that's a little more than garnish. Okay, I want to try this. All right, Alyssa. And everyone else watching. So this is... What was it called? A white Christmas... It's the white Christmas margarita... Punch? Punch. That's it? I can dig it. I think it's good. I think I got a little buzz too. You want to ask me anything right? Why do I like this? Weird. Okay, Alyssa. I feel you, girl. It was weird. It got a little weird with the coconut milk and a little bit. But I'm going to give it a solid 9 out of 10. Like if it's a punch and it's... What are you doing here? I'm just checking to make sure there's no lipstick on my teeth. Well, if you came to our holiday party, you're probably a little tipsy by now. A little tipsy. Hey, Lou. Guys, go to the Holiday Kin playlist and there's a bunch of stuff there for you guys.
