You get a totally different and not very good drink using the Hertbsaint. Another bottle taking up space in the SharkBite Bar. Cheers They suggested Herbsaint as a substitute for Green Chartreuse? Were they kidding? Herbsaint is anise flavored for crying out loud. It's a substitute for absinthe (and who needs a substitute for absinthe since it's now been legal since 2007 and there's dozens of brands on the shelves)! Green Chartreuse is not anise flavored. It's unique and not flavored like anything else. There is no substitute for Green Chartreuse.
