Tonight marks the 2nd time I’ve made this drink. I find it necessary to remark on how GENIUS it is. I think I’m in love!

Thanks Marleigh! And I remember seeing quite a few bottles on Junipero at the Pasadena store, as well as a few in Torrance if you’re out more this way.. You can always check their website too, just change where it says “Ship to: CA” to “Pick Up At” and select the store to see if they have it in stock.

Scott,

I was in the BevMo on Santa Monica looking in vain for a bottle of Junipero gin (in case you’re wondering, they are out of stock indefinitely) and spotted a lone bottle of St. Elizabeth behind the Clear Creek Apple Brandy. Every BevMo stocks different items, so I’d try that one first.

Where did you manage to find allspice dram around here?

I have heard such magical things about Clement Creole Shrubb. I found a bottle during my last outing but I was already ten bottles deep in shopping and needed to cut myself off. Next time, though, next time…

You should try this with the CCS and let me know how it is!

Wow, great drink. Oh, and brilliant writing, as usual. I try to do my sprinkler drinking on Saturdays…

I don’t know if I can make this though, having sworn never to buy Cointreau again while I could find Clement Creole Shrub…

Bill,

Send me a list of what you’ve got and next time we’re up (to see your swanky new digs) I’ll have something for you to do with them.

This is all well and good Marleigh but when are you going to give us a recipe for all the leftover crap in out liquor cabinet. Oh and it’s has to be a shot, and not a foo-foo shot. I know it’s below your standards but it was just be a brief foray for the unwashed.

Jacob,

While I don’t use Galliano often, it adds a little “something” when mixed correctly that’s hard to beat.

Dinah,

My distraction problem runs deep—the number of things I mean to buy and never do seems endless. How do you like the St. George? I found a bottle but passed it up because I haven’t tasted it and didn’t want to get saddled with a very expensive bottle of undrinkable absinthe.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one with the distraction problem re: purchasing cognac.

Now that I have the bottle of allspice dram and of St. George absinthe, maybe next time…
