How to make:

SHAKE first 3 ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled glass (preferably block of ice). Lastly, FLOAT Chartreuse.

Garnish:

Grapefruit zest twist

Comment:

Perhaps it’s the holier-than-thou Chartreuse that is playing the part of the bad guy in this tasty drink. The cognac (made with Ugni Blanc grapes) play the strong, characterful part.
