Review:

Bartending law stipulates that this cocktail be stirred. If law-abiding, stir and serve on the rocks with larger (60ml whisky, 15ml Chartreuse, 10ml sugar, and 2 dashes bitters) measures. However, this digestif is best enjoyed straight-up while still alive and foaming from a good shake.

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention, Jacques. 10ml / 1/3oz Green Chartreuse has been restored to its proper place.

Found this far too sweet. Benefitted from 2 dashes of angostura bitters.

I agree, I got rid of the simple. I used Basil Hayden's Subtle Smoke, Green Chartreuse, and used Watkins Orange Bitters. and stirred a little longer and
