It also imparts a brown color which is interesting that there's the Brown Lady to add to the (White) Lady series.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-75217177977134529702011-04-11T12:41:28.135-04:002011-04-11T12:41:28.135-04:00I read that VDH has some spice notes. is it distin...I read that VDH has some spice notes. is it distinct enough from other orange-flavored liqueurs? I typically use Luxardo or Mathilde Orange XO, but I'm always up for new and interesting things.<br /><br />I did end up using my homemade grapefruit liqueur (a recipe I found on line to try to recreate Forbidden Fruit), which is pretty sweet. I liked it in this drink, but it didn't have a lot of depth. Maybe something spicier would help.<br /><br />Kummel is an interesting product. I bought some a few years ago at a store in NJ - I think I was taken in by the penguin wearing a Pickelhelm on the label - and I've been slowly working my way through. It seems incongruous at first, but mixes pretty well.<br /><br />I'm excited for real Swedish Punsch! I've held off on trying to make it because I'd heard it's commercial release was imminent.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574437059524532626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-91090759895760721142011-04-09T21:18:01.859-04:002011-04-09T21:18:01.859-04:00Yeah, I had held off using and writing about Van d...Yeah, I had held off using and writing about Van der Hum (like I often do other hard to find ingredients) but (a) reading a recipe that Wondrich promoted and (b) informing people that it exists here in Massachusetts pushed me over the edge.<br /><br />I was that way with Kümmel but it can be found in NYC and is used in some great classic cocktails. Hopefully creating a buzz about certain spirits can help bring them back to the market (like Swedish Punsch which might be coming in the next 4 months or so).frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-75317297081184734292011-04-09T10:42:01.315-04:002011-04-09T10:42:01.315-04:00I've no Van der Hum nor any grapefruits; howev...I've no Van der Hum nor any grapefruits; however I do have some oranges and homemade grapefruit liquor...
