I'm working on that. I think that if you are in Yountville and see Sean, and make a joke about skiing at Hunter, he will be happy to throw a few back with you

I have a Chartreuse question. Theoretically, if I were to stumble upon some by chance, what is the difference between the green and yellow? Also are they pretty much interchangeable for recipes that call for the stuff?

Quick and dirty explanation in my opinion... Green is bigger, bolder, comes in at 55%. Yellow is softer, sweeter, 40%.

So is it ultimately just dealer's choice as to which one you use for a recipe? Wish I could do a taste test, but I'd be lucky if I can even FIND a bottle of either kind. Maybe I can find a nice bartender at a fine establishment that would let me sample the wares before committing to a $60-70 bottle.

No absolutely not. Its not like different bitter liqueurs that can be sometimes mixed and matched and replaced etc.
A recipe calling for 1/2oz yellow chartreuse and having it replaced with 1/2oz green will be completely overpowered, and vice versa.
As mentioned above, green is a heavy drinker, for me borderline unsippable (especially more than 1oz), yellow is just nice, sweet, soft with herbacious notes.

I see! That makes the entire Chartreuse shortage all the more frustrating. Also kind of spendy to properly stock ye old bar with both kinds.

Last Word cocktail calls for Green. I like to do a mezcal version but I found the green is too much for that particular cocktail so I use yellow. Just gotta get both! They'll last you a long time.

Working on a clarified lime cordial right now. Going to make a clarified mezcal “margarita” should be fun

Not spirit-related, but this cold snap is a nice opportunity to make clear ice outside. It saves having to clear a hole for a cooler in the bottom of my chest freezer.

Nice! I should do that too! I'm a sucker for some good quality clear ice.

Bout to get my egg nog on. I always love the flavor of a good nog but it's too sweet and rich so I normally like to mix with a hefty amount of bourbon. That said, I want some tips on how to kick it up a notch this year. I read about doing it with Amaro? Anybody here done that? Go 1/2 bourbon, 1/2 Amaro, or just straight Amaro?
Also, read about using things like Amaretto, Kahlua, Peppermint Schnapps, and a couple other misc spirits. What sayeth ye masters of the nog?

No way. Wife made a batch tonight. She makes the best! Just finished chilling it on the back deck and I'm ready to get to mixing.

1st attempt. 3/4 oz Amaro, 3/4 oz bourbon (Wild Turkey 101 in this case), and maybe around 4 oz of nog. Really freaking good!
