I’d wanted to try it -out of curiosity- but didn’t see it anywhere - and I wasn’t about to risk a case of glass bottles from Amazon. (Glass and Amazon is a recipe for heartbreak, with the emphasis on break). I saw some on Instacart Thursday and ordered a carton with the rest of my order.
Very interesting. Spicy, herbal, citrus-y - almost bitter. Reminded me a bit of Italian bitter sodas… definitely not a Coke - Pepsi - RC sweet cola. I can’t try it as a mixer b/c of my recent hospital discharge instructions (sad I can’t wash down a fistful of NSAIDS with a nice adult bev ) but in my mind it would work as a nonalcoholic appero. No thirst-guzzling. Be civilized .
An OGD old fashioned with some white cheddar Cheez-its. I wonder. If I followed with a cheeseburger with burger sauce, onion, lettuce, and tomato, would I have a complete diet?
Anybody ever tried Citronge lime liqueur? I would think a lime liqueur might be a little more bracing than lemon. I would think a little lime liqueur and Pellegrino might be refreshing. Anyone have any thoughts?
The Grable, from TCM’s book Eddie Muller’s Noir Bar:
1 1/2 oz. bourbon
3/4 oz. Grand Marnier
Splash club soda
Maraschino cherry
Build the drink in an ice-filled rocks or Old-Fashioned glass, then garnish with the cherry.
(Note: the book recommends using an old-school bar cherry in keeping with Betty Grable’s All-American-ness, rather than a fancy Luxardo cherry.)
