- I know that you've seen our beautiful kitchen
on the set many times,
but I actually wanted to take you guys backstage.
You wanna come?
Come on, it'll be the first time.
We actually have this killer prep kitchen
tucked right behind the wall.
And my friend Todd is back there waiting for me.
So Todd is someone that I've celebrated
many, many important moments of life with.
There he is. - Hey.
- There's Todd. (audience claps)
- Hey Drew, how are you?
- I'm good Todd, how are you?
- Oh my goodness, it is so great to be here.
- Well, Todd, you and I have worked together for many years.
We met through Jill Kargman.
And Todd is an amazing mixologist.
- I'm actually gonna teach you today
how to make some drinks.
- That's gonna be nice,
because usually I'm just accepting them from you.
- Or you try to make a drink, which is a total disaster.
(audience laughs)
- I've tried to whip up drinks for people,
and they taste bad!
- Well, we're gonna teach you how to make a good one.
What we're gonna do today is,
we're gonna make you this really amazing
Halloween themed drink that I came up with.
It's called a Ghostly Pumpkin Punch.
- And I really love like a festive food or beverage
that gets us in the Halloween spirit, pun intended.
And that's why we're also so excited to team up with LG,
a company I absolutely love,
who outfitted our backstage test kitchen
with all these gorgeous appliances
to help us make some spooky drinks and snacks.
And you're gonna be able to actually go on our website
and get Todd's recipe for the Ghostly Pumpkin Punch.
- And it's delicious.
So the first thing is just kinda
like kiss the rim of the glass with some honey.
- Todd, I have never thought of putting honey
as an adhesive on the rim of a glass.
- Well, you're gonna see why it's so amazing.
So then we're gonna switch over to the cinnamon sugar.
All right, and then you should have something
that looks pretty beautiful.
What do you think?
Yeah, there you go.
(audience claps) You did it, crushed it.
- Oh, it doesn't look as nice as yours, but it's good.
- We're gonna take our shaker, and we're just gonna
start building the drink a little bit.
- Okay.
- So I'm gonna be using, this right here is a whiskey rye,
but we're gonna make a mocktail for you.
So that right there is an apple cider.
- Perfect.
- [Todd] And just put it all in.
- This is also good training
for what I'll make Olive and Frankie later tonight.
- Oh my goodness, yes.
So then we're gonna squeeze
all of our lemons, all three of 'em.
- Squeeze of the lemon.
- Yes, so now we're gonna do,
this is like the real secret to this beautiful drink.
So yeah, you're just gonna take the whole pumpkin puree,
and you're just gonna kind of pop it right in there.
- Pumpkin puree! - Pumpkin puree.
So you can get it in a store canned, if you want.
But we got fancy and I roasted,
yes I did, I roasted just for today, for you.
- Todd, you're so amazing, you're such a unicorn.
Are you kidding, you roasted and pureed a pumpkin?
- Yeah, I did it just for you, Drew.
So then we're gonna take our spoonful of some ginger,
which is just some minced up ginger,
and just put it right in there.
- I love ginger.
- And then we got some honey.
Just kinda scoop up a nice
little healthy spoonful of some honey.
Yep, you got it.
And then last thing, a little bit of cinnamon
- That smells so good.
Okay, so ground cinnamon, like what do you say?
Like half a teaspoon?
- Yeah, exactly.
Now, this is a drink that must be shaken, don't stir it up.
Get it, and this is gonna be a key.
So you really gotta learn how to shake it.
- Shaken not stirred.
- Oh. - Very nice, right?
- That's really gratifying, Todd.
- Very nice, okay, so what we wanna do now
is we wanna pour it over ice.
But check this out The LG InstaView Refrigerator
automatically makes these amazing craft ice spheres.
Check it out.
- No way. - Yes.
And they are the perfect size
for cocktails and they're slow melting.
So your drink is never going to get watered down.
So now what we're gonna do is we're gonna take our drink,
and you're just gonna pour it over.
- Okay. - As is, yeah.
So leave a little bit of space,
because we're gonna top it off right here
with a little bit of ginger beer.
Non-alcoholic, just call it ginger beer.
- Wow, this looks so beautiful, Todd.
- Then we're gonna garnish it with a little cinnamon stick.
- [Drew] Like, Oh my God.
- [Todd] Goodness, yeah.
- Oh my god, it's so good!
(audience claps)
- May I ask, I mean this a mocktail,
is there anything else for like kids
that they can interact with?
- Yes, absolutely, so I also put together
a really great age-appropriate mocktail.
That's called a Goblin Gauntlet
- A Goblin Gauntlet?
- So what you're gonna do is you're gonna start off by,
this is an apple soda, it's green apple soda.
You're gonna pour that all in.
And then what you're gonna do.
- Oh my gosh, it smells really fresh, like green apple.
- Green apple, yeah, it's real deal.
We're gonna put a little bit of water in,
because it's gonna get a little sweet,
and I always like to cut it with just a drop or two of water
because our next step is we're gonna
pour some spooky lime syrup.
- Spooky! (audience laughs)
- And then the topper is this cranberry juice.
And what you're gonna do is,
you're gonna try to aim like right
for on top of that ice cube.
- Oh my gosh, look at that.
Oh that's really cool. (audience claps)
Todd, did you bring us a snack as well?
- Yes, so guess what?
We used the LG InstaView Range that allows you
to air fry your food without the guilt.
So what you could do with your countertop air fryer,
you can now do with the oven.
(audience claps)
So what we got is two your favorites.
So we have sweet potato tots.
And we also have cauliflower bites.
So you can just like dig in.
- All right, here we go, ready?
All right.
- Cheers, let's do it. - Cheers, Todd.
- The whole thing.
(audience claps)
- That is so good.
Well Todd, thank you so much.
And I wanna thank LG for helping us
set up this kitchen so beautifully.
(upbeat music)
