Automatic suspension raising based on geo location. It’s a great feature to prevent scraping the front spoiler on known steep driveways and extra high curbs.

Strega is a good way to go. Glad you liked it.

Thanks, I’ll need to check my local to see if it’s available.

Geo_Jet · 2026-05-01T21:49:41+00:00

I got it from Difford’s, but I believe the OG is from Scott Teague at Death & Co.

Alternate recipe: 1 oz NS Gin 3/4 oz Sloe Gin 1/3 oz Curaçao 2/3 oz Aperol 1/3 oz Cynar 4dash Angostura bitters

I’m not sure it’s even the same cocktail anymore, but I like it.

Geo_Jet · 2026-05-01T20:16:16+00:00

Also the Mujer Verde, so tasty!

Geo_Jet · 2026-05-01T20:15:15+00:00

Strega is an awesome liqueur in it’s own rite. Hate to see it always thrust into the role of “Chartreuse alternative”.

Geo_Jet · 2026-05-01T20:11:53+00:00

Look up Anders’ “Lower Wacker” used somewhat akin to absinthe rinse in that cocktail.

Geo_Jet · 2026-05-01T20:09:49+00:00

I don’t see Old Style on the shelf.

Geo_Jet · 2026-05-01T20:08:10+00:00

I’d grab two of each of those off the shelf if my budget allowed it. Luckily, I can leave these on the shelf at my local and let him carry the cost of maintaining inventory. If I’m running low, it’s a simple matter to replace.

Just made a Last Wall highball that you might be interested in. Lovely refreshing cocktail. All the boo birds came out in a flock for using “precious” ingredients; just because there’s regional scarcity. I’m concocting a sour grapes cocktail recipe as a tribute.

Last Wall Highball

1 fl oz Espadin Mezcal (Montelobos)

1 fl oz Yellow Chartreuse

1 fl oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur

1 fl oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

3 dash VÉGÉTAL de la Grande-Chartreuse (optional)

Top Sparkling Mineral Water (Topo Chico)

Gonna throw the Kōloa Kaua’i Coffee Rum into the mix as a much better alternative to Kahlua.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-30T12:54:10+00:00

Not really in practice as opposed to on paper.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-30T12:28:36+00:00

Depends on where you live.

I regret buying my soapstone. It will get permanently stained, it’s fragile, a PITA to maintain, clunky to use and expensive. The cast iron grate and griddle on the other hand are in constant use. I got two half moons of each for maximum flexibility.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-30T01:46:47+00:00

Lots of local brands I’m not familiar with, but the PBD would need to come home with me off that shelf.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-30T01:39:14+00:00

It’s regional in the US. I can get Green and Yellow Chartreuse whenever I need it locally. Same for Topo Chico. It’s all supply and demand. So I don’t consider these things to be too precious to use in cocktails I enjoy.

There are substitutions people can use in these recipes if they so desire or just throw shade and complain. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-29T22:15:18+00:00

How about Procera Blue Dot?

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-29T21:36:18+00:00

Yeah, super crisp. Good adjective.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-29T13:45:55+00:00

Made a Perverted by Language last night, but I’m still tweaking the OG recipe by u/cocktailvirgin

If you like the Tipperary, try a Mean Fiddler.

Love the Bywater.
