Spotted this at Sainsbury's this weekend and decided to give it a go. It's got that classic orange taste followed by a clean but very assertive chili finish. I tried this in a Lady's Sidecar (following the specs on here but adding a dash of Regan's orange bitters) and it turned out nicely, with the chili spice present. Be mindful when using this since it's pretty spicy!

Really excited to try these fat washes - is it known when these will be available to purchase in the UK?

Tried this in a rum and coke - probably the smoothest version of that I've ever had. I got a bottle of it and had a small sip, and it has no bite to it but has a wonderful rich flavour. Really looking forward to using this one

It's not complicated, but you can't really go wrong with this one. I like cognac and ginger ale and they pair nicely together

Not bad but not my favourite - I can't fault it too much since I like all of the ingredients. It's a bit too sweet (though I definitely feel the distinct warming sensation of the Chartreuse)

I tried this due to its simplicity as I'm just getting started mixing drinks at home - it's nice and creamy, very easy to drink but it does feel like it's missing something. Perhaps it's my love of mint choc chip ice cream but I do think a chocolate element would benefit - plan to make a Grasshopper soon to see if that does the trick.

The same producer also makes a delicious liqueur out of the cherries blended with their apple eau-de-vie (assuming it's basically this product but in liquid form)

I got a bottle of this today after seeing it listed as a digestif on the menu of nearly every restaurant I visited during my recent trip to the French Alps. It's really refreshing and sweet, goes down super easy with no bite at all. Love the minty flavour.

I'll confess this is my first creme de menthe so I can't compare this to other brands but I enjoy this one and I'll check out the others!
