Ryan Reynolds hilariously reveals the very real secret process behind his gin
Watch Next

Ryan Reynolds is a man of many talents. He acts, he posts comical tweets, and he even has his own brand of gin called Aviation Gin.

How the heck does a man so busy have time to make gin? Well, in a new video Reynolds lets us all in on the gin-making process, even disclosing his secret ingredient: tears.

According to Reynolds, the distillers begin the process at 4:00 a.m. with four full hours of silent mediation followed by some bizarre citrus fruit maintenance. They individually apologize to each berry before "beating the living hell out of them" to create a smooth, refined finish. And finally, Sarah McLachlan serenades the crate of gin before they ship off.

Wow, man. Who knew making alcohol was such a process?
