Bel-ami

1⁄2 oz Suze
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse (MOF* 45%)
1 1⁄2 oz Dry apricot brandy (Apricot eau de vie)
Instructions

Stir in rock glass, serve.
Maybe a lemon peel if you are in the mood for.

Notes

I use Abricotine for the eau de vie.
Strong fresh apricot in taste.
Just bought today.
Very nice.

History

Chartreuse Mof is amongst the different upgraded versions of the liqueur.
Less proof but accordingly made by the usual monks and "top" french sommeliers.
MOF refers to meilleurs ouvriers de france.
Best worker/craftsmen of France...
A highly award amongst workers (hyper technic, skills, taste).
These craftsmen are awarded because they are able to masterpiece everything.

This chartreuse in consequence is not bad.
But not overly good as well.

It's not like Elixir, it's like classic Chartreuse, but very Intense and complex.

flickerdart commented on 6/22/2024:

Made with Blume Marillen, and Elixir Combier instead of the Chartreuse. Was a bit sweet so I added a touch more Suze and threw the proportions way out of whack. The 1:1 ratio is good and opens up nicely as you drink. I can only imagine this would be better with the real deal Chartreuse instead of the substitute.

4th and Clyde

1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
1 oz Bourbon, Maker's Mark
1 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1 bsp Honey (Recipe calls for honey from CT)
1 pn Chili pepper (flakes)
Instructions

Stir (to dissolve the honey), add ice, shake, double strain.

Notes

I'd let the chili peppers mingle in one of the liquids for a while to give this a bit more of a kick or add some jalapeno? Or use a honey infused with chili peppers.

  • #1 See the potential and quite smooth, but too sweet w/Tanqueray & 4 roses and a teaspoon honey syrup. Try it again someday. 3 stars #2 with 0.5 tsp of ginger honey, only half of which got dissolved *chef’s kiss* 5 stars
  • Delicious, simple, subtle heat, garnish with fresh jalapeno slice.
  • Needs a bit of pepper to balance this, but very good. — ★★★★★

Dungeoness commented on 5/03/2021:

Prepared this with Hendrick's Lunar, 2 barspoons homemade honey syrup, else as written.

Garnished with fresh jalapeno slice (since I had it). Placed the chili flake in the shaker first, and was leisurely with my ingredient additions so that it had good contact with the liquids. Has a nice, subtle heat on the finish. Pleasant, delicious, new favorite!
