I had to hit up three LCBOs to get the Pernod and the Lillet - "odd" though they may be, it was highly worth it. This is a favourite and goes down well with drinkers of both genders and all ages.
Lillet isn't something I have around. Oddly enough I do have Pernod from a 40s style party I had years ago.
My point is that 2 odd ingredients is too much for one recipe.
