For those who missed it, I picked up a bottle of Chartreuse a few days back. Tried it first with just ice water, which gave me the queasies. Since I spent $42 on the bottle, I decided to give it another try.
I used regular ice water . . . ain't got no Seal Clubbin' Soda in the house at the moment and added lime juice. Total dilution about 6:1. Not toooo bad. Then I decided to experiment and added some anisette. Now I have an even SWEETER concoction, within which the Nasty has been Neutralized. Oddly, it smells like SALT. Any other ideas? Even more oddly, I've only consumed about 1/4 of a glass (only about a shot of C and half a shot of A in the glass, the rest being water and lime) and I'm getting a buzz. Maybe I've discovered the appeal of Chartreuse? -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia.

Hmmm . . .
3 cl Absinthe 3 cl Chartreuse 1 cl Green Curacao Milk What did absinthe ever do to me to deserve such treatment? Sounds like a punishment reserved for Hills or Logan Fils . . . Instead of Fox Poison, I'm tempted to call it a Linda Blair!  -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia.

OK, OK, I'll try it with the bubblies.

Yes. Do NOT actually get DRUNK on Chartreuse, or you will be SORRY.

Sounds like a real pisser
I went to my friends' house, they were showing several episodes of AbFab. I'd never seen it. I brought the bottle and picked up some bubbles on the way. It was described by one as "like drinking Hai Karate." I admit, the bubblies made it MUCH better. Drinkable, even. But no buzz. Maybe the anise contributed? -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia.

Send it to me, I love the stuff. Neat, in a grappa glass after dinner.
Don't ever drink too much, or you will, as Peter has said, have the urge to vomit through your nose. |

Like everyone else, I drink it with club soda. Occasionally I'll sip it straight.

Now, THIS is funky . . .
4-count Chartreuse 2-count Anisette 1 ice cube Seal-Clubbin' Soda Within seconds, the bubblies are TRAPPED in the viscous anisette. It all looks so THICK! It STILL smells like salt. Tastes ok, tho. And yes, one drink does equal something of a buzz. Guess it's the anisette. Anethol, isn't it? -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia.

Nope, I know Peter (Papa PV), I've met him, and he did say (maybe a long time ago) that the angelica in Chartreuse makes one want to vomit through the nose. I don't know your name, Perruche, and I didn't see you say that... but I often don't pay a lot of attention. You probably said the same thing. |

I can't imagine ever WANTING to vomit thru the nose, or really any other orifice . . .
Does anyone know what else is IN Chartreuse? I'm not sufficiently herb-educated to know the source of the dominant flavors, much less the recessives. -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia.

Lots of info available here:
Chartreuese web site By the way, Traineraz, it's not really that one WANTS to vomit through one's nose, it's just supposed to be one of the effects of too much anjelica... It was a bad choice of word on my part. |
