Nevertheless, they might be a good way to perk up yellow chartreuse, which I find to be underwhelming (and the green can be overwhelming...) <br /><br />Essentially, I'd like to get something to approximate the flavor of green but stay in the yellow color family. Brown rye + green chart. can get a little muddy looking.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574437059524532626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-49526303196569213722009-05-15T22:27:00.000-04:002009-05-15T22:27:00.000-04:00It would be similar.

Considering the drink he mimicked used yellow Chartreuse (the Green Point), it would not be a bad substitution but it would be closer to the original. <br /><br />I remember Strega having a bit sharper of a flavor than yellow but not as much as green Chartreuse. I'm not sure I could pick out the saffron notes that well (but it's a flavor I don't pick up on easily).frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-10505309766343269932009-05-15T13:17:00.000-04:002009-05-15T13:17:00.000-04:00I've heard Strega is made with saffron, and I&...I've heard Strega is made with saffron, and I'm curious to know how strong the safforn flavor comes through? I wonder if I could approximate this closely by using yellow chart. and some Sunshine bitters (saffron & cardamom)? Oh what the hell, I'll just try it.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574437059524532626noreply@blogger.com
