This is a wonderful drink and a fantastic tincture. I modified the tincture a bit (with 3 different kinds of hot peppers, quadrupled the ingredients) and let it sit for over a month. I added a bit of simple syrup after straining. Very happy with the results. The additional quantity allowed me to give some away to friends.

One of these days I’ll have to do taste tests of the various liqueurs you mention in your drink recipes. (Other than Grand Marnier and a few homemade fruit liqueurs, I’m a liqueur neophyte.) This drink sounds like a creative alchemical concoction which I’d love to try!

The mole tincture recipe looks to approximate the Bittermens mole bitters I had at Alembic a few weeks ago. Any relation? If so, I think I’ve just died and gone to heaven.

Mole tincture! That’s all I need. Even those 5 oz. of tequila won’t wreck my diet if I’m just shaking some into filtered water. Wow.
Hats off to Mr. Mole. Mr. Toad would approve!

(ohleavemealone. I know how to pronounce it.)

(1) i had no idea that chartreuse was a beverage as well as a color.

(2) i love the word tincture, using it makes me feel like some kind of dark ages barber-surgeon.

(3) i know i am a dork.

(4) i’ll take 2 of these cocktails.
