Wild Bill Turkey Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Lemon-Herbsaint Poppers were a suggestion from a foodie friend of mine who went crazy for them, and she doesn't even like absinthe or Herbsaint-like drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegreenimp Report post Posted December 8, 2009 I saw that recipe, though I won't be using any of my new supply for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakini_painter Report post Posted December 8, 2009 I think this would be a much better lemonade and absinthe (or herbsaint) cocktail. I think the pedigree here is much better. http://www.slashfood.com/2009/07/14/starry...-lenell-it-all/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Francis Report post Posted December 9, 2009 I am wondering where I can order the new Original Herbsaint online? I did a search and didn't find anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakini_painter Report post Posted December 9, 2009 I'm also interested in getting a bottle. Is there any way to know what distributor here in NY might carry it? I could then special order from a local retailer if need be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elfnmagik Report post Posted December 9, 2009 The operative word being "hopefully". The Distributor sent them a bottle of the old stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegreenimp Report post Posted December 9, 2009 New Orleans will have it first around 12-20-09. By the time the holidays are over and the wholesalers get in stock it will likely be mid Feb before it's on the shelves. If I get any more info I'll let every one know.

thegreenimp Report post Posted December 19, 2009 New Orleans will be fully stocked on Monday. (One store reportedly had a few on the 16th) Texas, California, Chicago, Florida, and I believe New York will be next as each gets state label approval. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Report post Posted January 3, 2010 This may be old news to everyone except me, but I just got around to watching All the King's Men and happened to notice a bottle of Herbsaint sitting prominently on the table during a scene with Jude Law and Kate Winslet.

drosstogold Report post Posted January 3, 2010 It's in my SWS December book under the heading of "domestic cordials" amongst Sazerac selections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakini_painter Report post Posted January 3, 2010 If it is, I can get it locally! But make sure it's the new original not the old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegreenimp Report post Posted January 3, 2010 New York should have pretty good distribution. (From what I hear) The Herbsaint Original makes an incredibly smooth Sazerac, and Herbsaint Suissesse (Use Chuck's recipe # 1) http://www.gumbopages.com/food/beverages/suissesse.html * 1-1/2 ounces Herbsaint Original * 1/2 ounce orgeat * White of 1 egg (or 2 tablespoons pasteurized egg white product) * 1 ounce half-and-half (or 1/2 ounce each whole milk and heavy cream) * 4 ounces crushed ice Combine ingredients in a blender, whizz for 5 seconds and pour into a chilled goblet or rocks glass. I'm playing with some of the old recipes out of the 1930s and 1940s Herbsaint recipe booklets.....more on that later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill Turkey Report post Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) So Kamal excitedly posted on Faye's Book today that DUNY has now got the "New Orleans classic" Herbsaint liqueur, and that his supplies are super-limited and that you should order immediately, after which he provided a link... to the same old modern Herbsaint I can get anywhere. Why was this newsworthy? Has he never carried it before? In other news... Orgeat is an almond syrup. Fee Brothers makes a nice one. I have to disagree. Having tried home-made and small-batch commercial orgeat (Small Hands Foods™), I have to say the Torani, Fee Bros. and Monin syrups are as much like orgeat as Sprite is like fresh-squeezed lime juice. Kind of like how you can't buy decent grenadine over the counter for any amount of money. Edited January 12, 2010 by Wild Bill Turkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
