Attended a convention in St Louis this weekend and while there I Googled “St Louis Cocktails” and Kilgore’s Purgatory was among the first results. I went to the hotel bar and was pleased to see both Benedictine and Green Chartreuse on the back bar, so I ordered a Purgatory. The bartender said he’d be happy to make it if I’d tell him the build. What a delightful concoction this is! Sweet, boozy, peppery, herbal… Absolutely loved it.
