Wow, this one got even better as it warmed up a bit and it was already excellent. Those last several sips were so perfect! Will still give this a long ice cold stir when I make it again and make it again I will...Dolin Génépy, Greenall's London Dry, Dolin Blanc, Mephisto Absinthe.

Closest Alpine liqueur to hand was suze. Pleasant but not outstanding, and rather too sweet to count as a Martini for my palate. Other genepi liqueurs may give different conclusions- I shall continue the search.

We don't drink many Martinis but we enjoyed this one. And it's good to see a recipe incorporating Genepi...there are so few here (13 only). There seems to be a 'thing' that Genepi is only worth considering as a poor man's Chartreuse. This is seriously wrong in our view. A bit like recommending Braulio as a substitute for Nonino Quintessentia.

When I see Bigallet Genepi Grand Tetras in the recipe, I move on. This is like a theoretical recipe. I’ll never be ever to find ingredients like that, expect at Difford’s headquarters. I don’t live in London, like most readers. Next…

Other brands of génépi liqueur are widely available internationally and are now often used in place of Chartreuse.

JOHN GRAHAM 25w

Oddly enough, I have Chartreuse. If I’d seen Chartreuse in the recipe, I would have given it a close look. Now, I will look at it again. Thank you.

Hi Simon. I love your website. Is it possible for you to post more information about substitutions for liqueurs not easily available in the USA? I am in the second largest metro area in the USA,and I still have trouble finding products such as the green or yellow chartreuse,some gins,and liqueurs.
I know it is possible to substitute,but I am not sure which is the best substitute for the flavor profile you suggest. Thank you
