I avoided getting a bottle of Strega because it looked expensive, but if you only use a 1\/4 ounce or a 1\/2 ounce at a time, it’s not that big a deal, right? Anyway, so the other day I just got a bottle and tried hard not to do the math (it wasn’t bad, actually: $35 or something). [Edit: this was from March 25 at 12:47 a.m.; meaningless gibberish deleted.]<\/p>\n
Been using it a lot lately [writing this as of 5\/12\/16] and I can’t remember a whole lot about it other than someone someplace suggested substituting it for Yellow Chartreuse, which I definitely did because Yellow Chartreuse is definitely more expensive.<\/p>\n
Tonight I happened upon this cocktail<\/a> in the course of trying to figure out what we were served at Flatbush Farm last Monday; I’m pretty sure it was sort of like a The Last Word but with mezcal instead of gin or whatever they normally use (a recipe is here<\/a> but we didn’t have a pepper in it).<\/p>\n Anyway, this cocktail has two parts mezcal, one part Yellow Chartreuse, one part dry vermouth and two dashes grapefruit bitters. I replaced the chartreuse with Strega. This was a good drink. I also want to try the The Last Word soon, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I avoided getting a bottle of Strega because it looked expensive, but if you only use a 1\/4 ounce or a 1\/2 ounce at a time, it’s not that big a deal, right?
