[Old Fezziwig]

Screaming Viking
8 oz apple cider
8 oz sweet mead
4-6 juniper berries, lightly crushed
PInch of whole caraway seeds

Combine all ingredients in a small non-metallic saucepan. Heat gently until it begins to boil, then pour slowly over a viking.

I thought a Screaming Viking had a cucumber garnish...

Is there any way to emulsify pineapple juice so that it won't settle out so fast? I made Blue Hawaiians for a party and I had to keep going back and stirring it

What was your recipe?

Ah, check out the recipes that have cream of coconut or coconut milk in it. That’ll probably fix the problem.

No cucumber? Bruised OR unbruised? Clearly that's not a Screaming Viking.

Although TBF there are multiple contenders.

Well, about a year and a half ago I was able to pick up a bottle of Chartreuse which has become exceedingly rare to find, and today was my last Last Word cocktail for awhile until I find another bottle.

It is a classic. I just introduced another friend to it and she loved it.

Some of my favorites are built on the four equal parts template of the Last Word. The Corpse Reviver #2 and the Naked and Famous, for example.

The Final Ward (sub rye for the gin and lemon juice for the lime) is a great variant of the Last Word.

I’m hoping someday to find myself a bottle of the Yellow Chartreuse and try a bunch of others. Also I may just try Genepy which is supposed to be similar enough to produce a decent version of the cocktail.

Genepy is what I use to sub for Green Chartreuse. Allorino (bay leaf liqueur) isn't a bad option either. For Yellow Chartreuse, I use Strega.

The Chartreuse shortage is a bummer. I don't see it changing anytime soon, so there are going to be all these cocktails that just don't taste the way they were intended to.

Luckily, I can find it but sometimes it's a bit of a drive. The nice thing is where I live they don't markup the price. It's expensive to begin with, but I've heard in some states, they're charging north of $100 a bottle.

How does the Genepy work for you in those cocktails? Reasonable substitution?
