Bippo,

RE: Clement Liqueur Creole Shrubb

It's good stuff.

Not really too sweet, lightly spiced, and the time in oak mellows both the 
rhum agricole and orange.  I think Gran Torres orange liqueur might be as 
close as you can get with a brandy based equivalent.

I first discovered it when I tried Dale DeGroff's Big Spender, a cocktail 
which I can recommend heartily, even in a cheapskate version with reposado and 
somewhat plonky champagne.  Though, I do recommend you try to get Moro or 
Sanguinello blood oranges.  I've tried it with Tarocco, and don't care for 
that combination as much.

Big Spender
1 oz Gran Centenario Anejo tequila
1 oz Liqueur Creole
1/2 oz Blood orange juice
Cristal Rose champagne (NOTE: For cheaper big spender use Billecart Salmon 
Brut Rose)

Assemble the first three ingredients in a bar glass with ice and stir to 
chill. Strain into a chilled champagne flute and garnish with spiral mof 
orange peel and a flamed orange zest.
