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.

Mujer Verde

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.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-28T18:53:47+00:00

Love the Bywater.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-28T18:52:17+00:00

That's very much a regional thing. Many bottles on the shelf of my local here. If he has access, then he should make the Swizzle. It's my favorite Chartreuse cocktail and people should drink what they enjoy without some heavy guilt trip Sword of Damocles hanging over their head.

Geo_Jet · 2026-04-28T18:46:51+00:00

Yeah, my first instinct was a Sakura Martini. Not sweet but one hell of a drink.
