History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Konstantinos Kollias at Armyra By Papaioannou, Messinia, Greece.

Review

Konstantinos' original recipe called for dushi buttons in place of sugar syrup. Sadly, while commonplace in his local market in Messinia , Greece, dushi buttons are a rarity in South London, England, hence our substitution.

The link to the product page for Izarra Green Liqueur
https://www.diffordsguide.com/beer-wine-spirits/5240/izarra-green
seems to be broken.
Sadly, I don't have this particular Liqueur. Can I approximate its flavour by using, say, 15ml of Green creme de Menthe and 7.5ml of Green Chartreuse or is there some other substitution you could suggest?

Thanks for bringing to my attention, James. I have fixed the link on the Izarra Green page.
