History:

Created by yours truly and named after the Greek for "elixir of life, the food of the Gods." However, here in the UK, "Ambrosia" is a brand of custard, so advocaat seemed an appropriate ingredient. And if there is a God, he/she/it surely drinks Chartreuse.

Alcohol content:

1.6 standard drinks
20.33% alc./vol. (20.33° proof)
21.9 grams of pure alcohol

Lots of vanilla - some of the charteuse and cognac initially, but really overwhelmed by the vanilla and creamy Advocaat. Too much for me to enjoy.

This was quite tasty made with Rompope as I can't find Advocaat locally. Since Rompope is rum based l'll try this again with rum in place of cognac...

Very nice, creamy dessert cocktail. The vanilla of the Licor 43 and the herbal notes of the Yellow Chartreuse are well balanced, and the grated nutmeg is a nice kick-off for the olfactory senses.

Very smooth drink but I felt like it was missing something so I added 5ml swedish punsch to it. Quite pleased with the result.

Would the chartreuse verte be too herbaceous?

Sorry, it took me so long to revisit an old creation. Green Chartreuse is delicious but both the strong flavour and alc./vol. overwhelm what is intended to resemble alcoholic custard.
