This was excellent. The pineapple was present but stayed out of the way. The Calvados shined with support from the "Cognac." (I used a French V.S.O.P. brandy Darvelle Freres.) The orange/sour team played well (not dominant, left room for the pineapple) and the bones behind all of this had to be Chartreuse Verte.

...'s very tasty! I over poured the Chartreuse, 15ml rather than 7.5. Hence doubled up the rest of the ingredients to make x2. More of a triple really.
