OK, I just looked back at the Swampwater recipe, and it sounds pretty good! We had Mai Tais tonight, which we've been having since we were in Kauai last month, but the swampwater looks like an interesting variation (not in the Mason jars though).

QUOTE(Spoon @ Oct 20 2006, 10:36 PM)  OK, I just looked back at the Swampwater recipe, and it sounds pretty good! The year, 1973. The place, Dirty Dick's Saloon on the Northwest side of Chicago. I was a Junior at UICC, out with a friend on a Wed. night. I just learned about "Swampwater"; probably from an article by Jean Sheperd in Car & Driver. The bar was dead and, besides the bartender, we were the only ones there. I mentioned "Swampwater" and found out the bartender had heard of it, but didn't have any pineapple juice. My friend ran across the street to a convenience store and came back with a six-pack of little Dole cans. "Swampwater" all around (on the house) until we ran out of pineapple juice. That's when the bartender introduced us to "Salty Dogs" and I can't remember how I got home. Been in love with Chartreuse ever since. -------------------- Sesenta y ocho grados de alcohol perfumado de anís se deslizan por mi garganta, me abrasan el esófago y caen incendiarios en el estómago.

Well Spoon, I have a whole, unopened bottle of Chartreuse (yet another gift) and good lord, I wish that I lived close enough to you so that I could post it to you without the expense rendering the whole exercise moot...

Send it book rate and label it "Disposable Douches" (to explain the sloshing).

They don't allow sending douches book rate.

But will the USPS allow you to ship a douchebag that's full of shit?

Maybe I am a bit late for that contribution but hopefully it will be useful to some of you.
The range for Chartreuse goes in such a way: (in mg/l) Chartreuse jaune:  : - anethole: 31.68Chartreuse verte: : 3.6 anethole: 5.28Chartreuse blanche: : 4.83 anethole: -Here I am referring not to modern versions which have been changed. The ingredients that have been finding their way in all three recipes (as proposed by De Brevans <pgs 114-115> and various French sites): star anise (rarely aniseed), angelica, caraway, coriander, sage, saffron (for colouration of the jaune), myrhh, hyssop (in most of the them the predominant one along with angelica what many have admitted of), melissa, tansy (both vulgare and balsamita), cinnamon, nutmeg, arnica, cassia bark, sweet flag, tonka beans, cloves, thyme. Some of these have been discontinued due to their carcinogenity and for other reasons. There exists also Liqueur de Chartreux but I am not so sure if it is/was manufactured. http://perso.orange.fr/hugues.sauvage/tabl....html#chartreux -------------------- Ils buvaient de l'absinthe,

Beware of monks carrying daggers.

These times are gone (but a duel with a monk, cool!).
Take for instance Capucine monks, their "balsam kapucyński" http://www.balsamkapucynski.pl/ (sorry only in Polish) is sold in churches, monasteries and even herboristeries. It is no mystery that on every bottle the ingredients are listed: aloe vera, rhubarb, Cortex Rhamni Frangulae, bee glue, honey, and angelica root. It is bottled at 60 % and is something between Benedictine and Unicum as far as taste is concerned and is not that expensive. -------------------- Ils buvaient de l'absinthe,
