Really nice, I have joined Difford's simply to be able to say this. My suggestion: I had no Lillet Blanc opened and I was too lazy to go to the cellar for another bottle, so I substituted Cocchi Americano. From Kevin Currie's comment on the sweetness I thought this would work well and it was great! A new favorite to share with friends.

Very nice as is, but a little sweet for us. We tried 5ml less of Chartreuse and triple sec, then added 10 ml vodka.
