Fantastic with acid adjusted juice (and a view on the Chartreuse)

I found the Chartreuse to be masked to a surprising extent by the orange juice.

Adding more would make it too sweet.

Not sure the dilemma is solvable.

Deliciously balanced. Didn't go mad on the bitters dashes, more like 2 drops. Not too sweet. Going to try more Chartreuse as advised in the comments below, as feel it needs something more.
