Review:

The original recipe, and indeed our old recipe, called for equal parts of the three main ingredients to create a powerful cocktail in both alcohol and flavour. Upping the gin but knocking back the Chartreuse rebalances this classic cocktail.

Variant:

Extensively the same as a Bijou Cocktail
Club Cocktail

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide.
