Strength & taste guide:


Review:

This orange coloured drink combines sweet and sour flavours in a most interesting and grown up way.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2001 by Tony Conigliaro at Isola in Knightsbridge, London, England. The original recipe calls for 22.5ml of the now-defunct Monasterium liqueur so I've replaced with Chartreuse (50/50ish Green & Yellow), which I suspect was the inspiration for Monasterium.
