"Chatreuse is like going to the doctors office, if your doctor is Gandalf" Never before has such an exact description been uttered in a human language.
Oh what Doc Arnold could have learned if he would have only deigned to have spoken to any foraging village woman within a stone’s throw of his medical school 🤣
CW....you are very passionate and full of knowledge about your subject and it shows... You have too a rich voice and have had me captivated with your videography skills. Keep up the good work.
You need to try and look up Buckfast, a tonic wine made by monks in the south of England, but drank by teenagers in Scotland and N. Ireland. It's definitely an aquired taste. I personally love it, but it definitely has a crazy reputation.
Wow, this is a great channel! Only thing I'd like to see in the future would be some additional info on the recipes, and the process for making the cocktail. Mostly looking for your measurements. Great editing & audio, and you've earned a sub from me.
One of my favourites. Got a bit over a bottle left so might have to get another one soon 😅 And I know it's absolute sacrilege, but chartreuse goes really well with red bull, definitely better than jagermeister.
@@CometoCheesus it is rare to find, I have a bottle at home, I believe last I looked up, there was a store in California, and a store in Dallas Tx that sold it, but unsure if they still do. (I know the name of the Tx store however)
As someone who's suffered 30 years of legislated disclosure, and monitored best-practice, and general workplace rule-following, I admire the robed order's studied 'screw you'. Disclosure of ingredients, government regulation, consumer protections? Not their style, thank you very much~! That being said, you'd think those pricks would make it easier to discern if you're buying the high $ green stuff or the slightly cheaper yellow stuff.
Chartreuse is a funny word to say, but PLEASE say it right! Also, the original élixir is not green chartreuse, it is a different drink called élixir végétal and is even stronger (69%). The green chartreuse was only created later, not as a medicine, but the monks noticed that people drank it for pleasure and as a digestif. That is why they decided to water it down to 55%.
great video! had a little bit of a jumpscare seeing you display Rose's Lime Juice (a cordial) with the ingredients in a Last Word. it should be fresh lime!
It’s still hard to find unless you’re buying online. I haven’t seen a bottle on shelves at any liquor store in Texas and had to go to 5 stores in Manhattan, where chartreuse is much more common, before one had some bottles in the back.
