One of the employees at Hi-Times talked me into buying a bottle of Herbsaint cuz they were outta Green Chartreuse. My plan was to fix up a couple of “Last Words” as a nightcap. I did a side by side using the Chartreuse vs. the Herbsaint. Not even close. You get a totally different and not very good drink using the Hertbsaint. Another bottle taking up space in the SharkBite Bar.

Herbsaint tastes a lot like absinthe. One time I was telling a bartender (at a not-very-good bar) how to make a Last Word, and since I'd already had a couple cocktails at that point, I accidentally said absinthe instead of chartreuse. Of course it wasn't good. However, I think if you just cut the absinthe in half, it might actually be really interesting. Herbsaint should work the same. I haven't actually tried it yet, but since you have that extra bottle in your bar, maybe give it a try sometime when you're feeling experimental.
