Definitely in martiniville. I'm a little torn. I found this enjoyable, but I lost the lemon flavor, which I was reallylooking forward to. May have been my gin choice (Farmer's, very botanical). Will have to try again with a straight up London dry.

I'm adjusting my rating upwards, as this definitely evolves in the glass. It might have been the ethanol, but by drink’s end, I was thoroughly enjoying. Thanks, Difford’s!

Excellent drink. Notwithstanding some comments that the Green Chartreuse may not be needed, I would argue that while subtle at only 5ml, it adds an herbal element essential to help balance the Limoncello which otherwise might overpower this cocktail.

It's amazing, I thought the limoncello will overpower the gin, but it's really balanced. You can appreciate all the flavours.

Like a martini like a limoncello hmm

Love the layers of this cocktail, somehow the dry and sweet elements dance around each other perfectly.

I used Roku Gin (on my last bottle of Crown Jewel and cannot find another source !) and served in a narrow mouthed sherry glass which helped to direct the flavours and smells.
I used 1/4 Chartreuse and I found it just about perfect with the lemon and sweetness of the limoncello.
Really really loved this drink

I made this three ways (in order): no Chartreuse, called for measure, double that measure. There is a definite difference between the first two. The Chartreuse is weak in the recipe above, but it shows up in the aftertaste, which makes that the most interesting of the three takes. The doubled measure just makes the drink more sweet and doesn't necessarily enhance the character of the Chartreuse. I would recommend that Adjournment variation.

It seems amazing to me that diffords doesn’t have some version of this without the chartreuse. I have been drinking one with about this amount of gin, but reversing the amounts of vermouth and Lemoncello and it’s wonderful. Now all it needs is a name.
