  • If neither the Licor 43 nor the Navan is available, Dr. MacGillicuddy's Vanilla Schnapps is another way to go. (It's a great addition to blueberry margaritas, in particular.) Or, just take a bottle of inexpensive triple sec and infuse it for a week or two with a split vanilla bean.

    For a pitcher or punch bowl presentation, I could see using frozen pineapple and fresh lime slices in place at least part of the ice.-COLLAPSE

  • SnackHappy, I haven't had licor 43, but i'm going to make this with Navan

  • I made a pitcher of this for a holiday party. They were fantastic, but I suggest pouring this over ice (or floating ice in the pitcher) so it is slighlty diluted by melting ice and thus less strong.

  • Anyone?

  • What's a good substitute for Licor 43? It's not available in Quebec.
