        <content>Does anyone know where to get Amer Picon or Torani Amer in New York City?   I've looked all over manhattan and most shopkeeps give me a stare of "I haven't seen that since 1945".  Any advice would be great.  Unfortunately NY shipping laws prevent spirits from being shipped in so Its got to be somewhere local (or at least relatevely nearby)

Thanks</content>

      <content>I have not found it either.  I can't find Amer Picon at all.  Even in San Francisco, where Picon Punch was a staple.  Now I order Torani from...elsewhere.</content>

      <content>Try Lenell's, they might have Torani.  They can also tell you the best way to try to find Amer Picon, which I don't think is made any longer.

      <content>I spoke to LeNell and indeed Amer Picon is no longer available in its "true form".  Similarly, Torani is distributed exclusively in CA and given NY spirit shipping laws thats a no go either. 

Nevertheless, I did find a recipe, which i got all the ingredients for last night.  I'll be sure to let you know how it goes!
