@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!

@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. 🙂
