It's available from BevMo (and elsewhere): http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?sku=00000001171 Torani Amer actually makes a better Picon Punch than Amer Picon because Amer Picon has been bastardized over the years and has a lower alcohol content than when it was first introduced. The Torani Amer is a higher proof than Amer Picon and actually tastes more like the original Amer Picon than the current Amer Picon. Thus yielding a Picon Punch that tastes more like what a Picon Punch is supposed to taste like. Hopefully that makes some sort of sense.
