Over here in the states, the price for either Green or Yellow Chartreuse ranges from $60 - 140 / 750 ml if you can find it. (Some moron keeps slapping tariffs on the best things from Europe.) I’ll save my precious bottle of Green for the Last Word. Invented right here in Detroit MI.
this Susan says Yummy!
I’d love to try this, any recommendations for a comparable American apple juice?
Would love to try this but can’t justify purchasing a real pink grapefruit at the exorbitant price today. Has anyone tried cheating with a pink grapefruit mixer (Fever Tree, eg) instead of juice + club soda?
I love this cocktail. Requires a good thick Grenadine like Portland Syrups (created with American bartender/youtuber Anders Erickson). Recently tried adding just a splash of Mezcal to the mix which cuts some of the sweetness. Muy bueno!
My first Italicus cocktail, after my bartender daughter highly recommended we stock a bottle. Delicious! And I may have found a flavor solution to the MIA mixer Bitter Lemon by Schweppes (only by Schweppes), my go-to for G&”T” Can’t wait to try more concoctions with Italicus!
The full 1/2 oz of lime was too sour for my taste. Next time I’ll cut that by half. I like the bourbon - allspice - angostura blend.
Twist the Lion’s Tail: 2 oz Bourbon, 1/2 oz Allspice Dram, 1/2 oz Averna Amaro, 1/2 oz Lemon Juice. Shaken with ice. Added a dried Orange slice. Spicy, autumnal, not as sour and didn’t need the sugar syrup.

I’m not a big Campari fan so I subbed Nonnino Amaro and it was fantastic. I would guess the flavor profile changes a lot with the bitter Campari.
Would it be a travesty to sub Averna for the Nonino ?
We love making it with Averna. Not as prettily orange, but very delicious and a bit more robust.
