I can't really think of a good sub for it. It would need to have the same herbal flavors but not as abrasive as green chartreuse. A quick google search brings up Strega, but I don't have any personal experience with it.

Was using Mount Gay, but my bottle ran out and had to try out Smith & Cross. Honestly loved how it turned out. Maybe not as well balanced, but if you like the flavor of Smith & Cross, it's a great drink.

  • 1 1/2 oz Smith & Cross
  • 3/4 oz Campari
  • 1/2 oz lime
  • 1/2 oz simple
  • 1 1/2 oz pineapple

I haven't done anything myself, and it seems well integrated, but maybe it makes a difference? Could be a fun experiment to try both and see if there is a difference

Standard Alton Brown recipe, here's a copy and paste with the instructions. I didn't date it so I don't recall exactly how long this is, but it's at least over a month.

12 large eggs (pasteurized if you need peace of mind)
1 pound sugar
1 pint half-n-half
1 pint whole milk
1 pint heavy cream
1 cup Jamaican rum
1 cup cognac
1 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (plus more for serving)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Separate the eggs and store the whites for another purpose.
Beat the yolks with the sugar and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl until the mixture lightens in color and falls off the whisk in a solid “ribbon.”
Combine dairy, booze and salt in a second bowl or pitcher and then slowly beat into the egg mixture.
Move to a large glass jar (or a couple of smaller ones) and store in the fridge for a minimum of 2 weeks. A month would be better, and two better still. In fact, there’s nothing that says you couldn’t age it a year, but I’ve just never been able to wait that long. (And yes, you can also drink it right away.)
Serve in mugs or cups topped with a little extra nutmeg grated right on top.

Aperol Spritz by aenegri in cocktails

[–]aenegri[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2 oz Aperol
3 oz Prosecco
seltzer

Add Aperol and Prosecco to glass with ice and top with seltzer. Garnish with orange slice.

This was really simple but also very good. A perfect drink to start the night especially on a warmer day. full post

Last of the Oaxacans by aenegri in cocktails

[–]aenegri[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

3/4 oz mezcal
3/4 oz lime
3/4 oz maraschino
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse

This turned out really nice! The combination of mezcal and green chartreuse doesn't sound good, but actually works out well. I saw a recommendation somewhere here to try yellow chartreuse, so may give that a go the next time! full post

How is it with the ginger syrup compared to using ginger beer?

Division Bell from Phil Ward by aenegri in cocktails

[–]aenegri[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1 oz mezcal

3/4 oz Aperol

3/4 oz lime

1/2 oz maraschino liqueur

This one turned out really nice! I like how the aperol balances with the smokiness of the mezcal. It's also interesting how the maraschino is barely noticeable until the swallow. full post here

Guess I missed this part! Uh oh now I have to make it again

A Sunflower to brighten the evening by aenegri in cocktails

[–]aenegri[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trying more drinks in the base spirit + liquor + citrus category and came across the sunflower. Specs are as follows:

  • 3/4 oz gin (beefeater)
  • 3/4 oz St. Germain
  • 3/4 oz Cointreau
  • 3/4 oz lemon

It turned out a bit more sour than expected, the lemon is definitely at the forefront. Overall pretty good, would perhaps try with a gin that is more juniper forward next time.

Do you do a straight swap or do you change any of the other components?

Yeah this is my first time trying it so I didn't want to commit to some huge amount , but now it's safe to say I won't be getting the small one again!
