History

The name, which literally translates as "And me, I'd tell you... Maud," but should be read as "That's Maud for ya," celebrates a French comedienne, Maud Loty. Nicknamed "La Maud," she starred in dozens of hit vaudeville plays throughout the 1920s and '30s.

This cocktail appears in Georges Gabriel Thenon's 1929 book Cocktails de Paris followed by Maud Loty's signature and the notation, "Grand Prize of Honor at the Champonnal de Cocktail des Artistes de Paris, June 21, 1929. This cocktail was presented by Mile Maud Loty, surrounded by Miles Betty Spelle and Yama and Mr. Dorly."

Review

An armagnac-laced after-dinner/late-night, spirit-forward sipper that harnesses herbal and maraschino liqueurs. Apologies if you are reading this recipe in ounces, 5/12oz is between 1/3oz (too little) and 15oz (too much).

I used the Benedictine/Yellow Chartreuse mix as per Simon’s suggestion.
I would say more sweet than dry, definitely on the herbal side with a bit of Armagnac getting through. I would up the Armagnac by another 10ml.

Howard Griffin 2y

Made with yellow Chartreuse instead of Izarra, it was a decadent delight. Measuring 12.5 ml was a challenge even with the Bonzer. I settled on a scant half ounce.

Any suggested substitutions for the izarra? Reading online descriptions maybe yellow chartreuse and Benedictine?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 2y

I'd suggest a 50/50 blend of yellow Chartreuse and Benedictine. Funny as many are now using Izarra as an alternative to Chartreuse.
