The very first old-timey cocktail I ever tried, way back in the mid- 2010s. Return to it every few years and still find it surprisingly delicious and an improvement over a Southside. I’d like to eventually do some research to find its provenance.
Always found this product works well in shaken cocktails, better than the Rothman & Winter and regular Giffard, for sure. Doesn't get much love, but for the price it's solid
Excellent and unusual Flip. One that would be a good accompaniment to a nod by the tree on Christmas Eve.
An interesting historical note: this drink was created the year after the only other (classic) drink I know that contains both Chartreuse and Benedictine: the Widow's Kiss. Can't help but wonder if it was inspired by the recent creation of that most "evocative" concoction.
