- Footnote
- This Christmas liqueur recipe using the Chimajá root, which grows wild in the southwest, was found in Erna Fergusson’s 1934 cookbook “Mexican Cookbook” a New Mexican cookbook. While Chimajá root can be hard to find in stores the recipe is wide open to other light peppery/cilantro-ish/spicy under-flavor substitutions. "After two weeks the drink is ready, but it improves steadily with age." …we made it and it does!
