This is a cocktail, not a recipe for meal planning, and the stated two-minute total time ignores the work of sourcing three premium liqueurs that Charlotte grocery stores do not stock—you'll need to visit a specialty liquor shop for Benedictine and green Chartreuse, a real errand for a weeknight drink. The cost per serving runs $8–12 in spirits alone before the egg and spices, placing it well beyond casual home-bar territory. The drink itself is technically sound and makes sense as an occasional evening project for someone already interested in craft cocktails, but it belongs in a bartender's notebook, not a grocery meal planner's rotation.
