Maybe I'll get a small bottle and give it a try. ;) I have had Tuaca before, but I don’t keep any as I haven’t had much call for it in the drinks I make at home.

I'm going to have to look for this and get a bottle for myself, for sure. Have you heard of Tuaca? It's an Italian vanilla-citrus liquer that's very popular in my home town (Portland, OR) and didn't see it on your site... Just thought I'd suggest it if you hadn't heard of it! :) That looks lovely!

If only I had a bottle of Créme Yvette! I dare not hope for such things, but if I had a bottle I'd have mentioned it immediately. And I would've gloated. Just a little.

Huh? Creme Yvette?! Did I miss something?! Scuh-REW the Violette!'. But alas, it turns out you are just an extremely fortunate lady who hangs in far more refined company than I dare dream. Congrats, on both the Creme de Violette AND the Creme Yvette. I agree on the Creme de Violette's nose, it's pretty damned lacking and, to me, medicinal. But the flavor is very nice and welcome even if a bit one-dimensional. Speaking of which, I really must dust off and finish my Rothman & Winter post I started a couple of months ago. Soooooo derelict am I. I did the exact same thing, ‘Wuh? Huh? Creme Yvette?! Did I miss something?! Scuh-REW the Violette!’.

I was trying to be subtle and not sound like I was rubbing it in. You are correct that it is no longer available, but Dr. Cocktail kindly let me sample some of his stock of Créme Yvette and Forbidden Fruit. Both were just as amazing as I'd hoped—which is, of course, exceptionally disappointing after the fact when reality hits you. Jay,
