@schamspeare @LilPecan Yum. That’s this evening’s cocktail sorted.

@JamesK @LilPecan Nice. You keep chartreuse on hand? Wow. I’ve basically only seen it in bars — in my whole life. I’d never bought it myself either, until this week. Love the flavor, though. The first thing you taste (or smell).

@schamspeare @LilPecan Yes, I am lucky enough to have some from before it became unobtainable in my area. I don’t make many drinks that require more than 1/4 oz, so it lasts. This drink will be an outlier. Fortunately for me 😁 my partner doesn’t like much citrus in her drinks, so I can make this exception.

@JamesK @LilPecan It's not unobtainable here, other than that the price is forbiddingly high. I decided to treat myself as I'm currently on a bit of a tour through all the cocktails I've never tried.

@schamspeare You are fortunate. It’s apparently obtainable in @LilPecan ‘s region, as well. We have state-run liquor stores here, and whenever I check there’s no stock anywhere and the clerks pretty consistently tell me that they can’t get it. On the other hand, I do still see it on back bars, so perhaps I am just not making the right friends.
Have fun with your exploration!

@JamesK @LilPecan Thanks.

I’m in Canada. Yellow is not available for some reason. Nor is orange bitters, I’ve noticed, while regular Angostura is. There are a lot of things that seem hit and miss. The ins and outs of the trade situation are labyrinthine.

@schamspeare @LilPecan Yes, one never knows which direction commerce will take, even under normal circumstances.

@schamspeare @LilPecan I am consuming one now, and I pronounce it lovely.

@JamesK Then I must stop and make one, too, so I can drink along with you. @schamspeare

@LilPecan @schamspeare That was dang rude of me! I thought with the time difference you’d have been into them already!
Show threadPiggleston PecanpantsMar 2
@JamesK @schamspeare Not rude at all. I was working so I'm late bellying up to the bar.
It IS lovely. Quite refreshing. The chartreuse and saline keep the citrus from being overwhelming.

@LilPecan This makes me immensely happy. Enjoy. If we were still a boozy house Husband would also join in.

@Heidiknits Feel free to join in any time. You don't need to drink what we're drinking to be a participant in our party. 🙂

@JamesK @LilPecan Thanks. *Hugs*

@JamesK @schamspeare I have green, yellow and Végétal chartreuse. Wanted to make that cocktail when it came into my feed last night but wisely decided I'd had enough. Will have to try it tonight.

@LilPecan @schamspeare What control!

@LilPecan @JamesK @schamspeare I am excited for this as well although we may not have enough chartreuse on hand (since we did a tasting with small bottles recently and drank them up)
