Straightaway Cocktails Accompani Flora Green Liqueur

Embark on an alpine escape with Straightaway Cocktails Accompani Flora Green Liqueur. Crafted in Portland, Oregon, by Straightaway Cocktails, this 80-proof (40% ABV) herbal liqueur is a verdant homage to the alpine character of Green Chartreuse, yet distinctly its own. Infused with key botanicals like hyssop, lemon balm, and chamomile through a meticulous maceration process, it’s a vibrant, non-chill filtered pour that balances herbaceous intensity with a candied sweetness. Sip it neat as a digestif, mix it in a Last Word cocktail (.75 oz Flora Green, .75 oz gin, .75 oz maraschino liqueur, .75 oz lime juice, shaken and strained), or pair with tonic for a refreshing highball.

Nose: Herbes-de-Provence and candy sugar lead, with grassy notes and a whisper of cinnamon. It’s a bright, alpine meadow tease.

Palate: An initial blast of alpine herbal and floral notes—hyssop and chamomile shine—followed by a long, candied finish with a touch of lemon balm freshness.

Finish: Minty and floral, with lingering herbs and a sweet, sugary glow that invites another sip.

Pair this liqueur with smoked trout—the herbs love the briny char. Want a bite? Try aged goat cheese; it lifts the chamomile notes. For dessert, a lemon tart echoes the palate’s freshness. Feeling bold? Grilled chicken with a sage rub ties the finish into a Pacific Northwest feast.
