Accompani Flora Green is a green herbal liqueur from Straightaway Cocktails in Portland, Oregon, bottled at 40% ABV.
It is a verdant homage to the alpine character of the great green monastery liqueurs, yet distinctly its own, with hyssop, lemon balm and chamomile among its key botanicals.
Bartenders use it as a stand-in for green Chartreuse in classics such as the Bijou and the Last Word, where it adds a slightly sweeter note.
In the glass it is bright and herbaceous, with fresh herbs, citrusy lemon balm and soft floral chamomile over a warming, full-strength body.
Its colourful label makes it a fun bottle for the home bartender.

How to Enjoy It
Use Flora Green in a Bijou, stirred in equal parts with gin and sweet vermouth with a dash of orange bitters, or in a Last Word shaken with gin, maraschino and lime. It adds herbal brightness to a gin sour, a Swizzle or a Daiquiri variation, and makes a refreshing highball with tonic or soda water and a lemon twist. On its own, sip it chilled after dinner. Pair it with herbed cheeses, olives and roast chicken. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
