I think he must've had something to do with my early tendencies towards a precocious vocabulary. Maybe I can use the syrup from this recipe in a R'lyeh Sour.<br /><br />A Buddha's hand crème brûlée sounds fantastic. I would hop all over that. And you're right about imparting citrus tones without the sort of brashness of lemon — the effect is familiar, but somehow slightly exotic. Agreed about the jazzman notes to it, but I'm also reminded of bergamot, especially after I dosed some hot black tea with it yesterday morning and was instantly reminded of Earl Grey.Matthew Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613982533349459637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-19778739326639702642011-11-14T10:52:26.455-08:002011-11-14T10:52:26.455-08:00and I also like redundancy too.and I also like redundancy too.randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-76874856843031650162011-11-14T10:51:27.924-08:002011-11-14T10:51:27.924-08:00Love your HP Lovecraft references.

It has a sweet spiciness (kind of jasmine topnotes and some kind of fruitcake spice undertones) that blends really well -- I use it where I want the brightness of citrus without the overt character of lemon.Winleade | JoySpiritshttp://www.joyspirits.comnoreply@blogger.com
