It was no longer available through any distributor there in the area. So, to keep making the cocktails true to their recipes, he was having the booze shipped to a friend and brought over the state line to him. That's going the extra mile! Incredible drinks you guys will not get to try now... And they had some nice vintage Lemon Hart bottles from before. Th eLemon Hart just got too hard to find. I sent him a place to order it after we visited last year.
