waddaya know, i found a bottle of curacao with a few ounces left.

I poured 1 oz each of green chartreuse, roman sambuca, and orange curacao into a 4 oz mixing glass, lit on fire, let the blue flames work for about 20 seconds or so, then poured into a tall skinny glass (then blew it out in the new glass). tasted very aromatic, like a rich man's jagermeister. I can totally see how this would warm somebody up at a ski chalet. it tasted a bit better as an every day drink though when i added some seltzer water.

anyhow, you oughta give this a go Rupe, whether its the accurate drink or not who's to say? I inherited my grandfather's pewter mug that commemorates his 60th birthday, no idea if he ever used it at all, but i like to make mint juleps in it for kentucky derby day, so enjoy your shot glasses, they're pretty cool.
