Review:
Lovers of Scotch whisky and Chartreuse should only consider this spirit-forward, herbal cocktail. (It's more approachable when served in an old-fashioned glass over ice.)

Next cocktail
Gherky Martini
Bellini Margarita
As the name suggests, a peachy Margarita. (I prefer straight-up, but this fruity Margarita is arguably 'peachier' when strained over ice.)
Brandy Boulevardier
Choose your brandy well (perhaps reach for your finest cognac) and you'll experience a refined Boulevardier/Negroni
Saramago
Elderflower liqueur tones and adds floral notes to this Tequila Martini variation
21st & ¼ Century
A coconut rum and gentian charged riff on the 20th Century Cocktail
S & M (Smoke & Mulberry)
Best made with a smoky mezcal to intertwine with sloe gin's berry fruitiness, subtle layers of herbal vanilla vermouth and delicate bitter chocolate

I used Whyte & MacKay blended Scotch which I tend to use for cocktails.
I tried both up and on the rocks and preferred up, though I shook a bit longer than usual
The Orange bitters elevate it…I used The Bitter Truth.
