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.

This classic is called the Bijou in the Savoy bar book - a great drink. It dates back at least as far as Harry Johnson (1882). The Club Cocktail, with Yellow Chartreuse, is also well worth a try!

Many thanks for flagging, Jason. I’ve added a link to the Bijou and Club cocktails above. The Bijou dates back to Harry Johnson’s 1900 Bartender’s Manual and, yes, is the same drink.
