@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 @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 @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)
