Had this again and it was just a wonderful as before. The Chartreuse adds wonderful herbal hints along with the gin. Highly recommend.

I really like the subtle chartreuse in this. It can overwhelm drinks for me but this is about perfect.

My mix was 1.5/.5/.5 (Like green chartreuse and dry vermouth) with .3 water. Next time I’ll skip the water as the ice melts enough. A very nice drink for a “puritan”.

I love Chartreuse. When tasted it neat, it has you think "Naah, flavours are too strong, it will spoil any cocktail". But then, once mixed, it becomes extremely gentle. I definitely recommend this "improved" Martini recipe.

Certainly agree with Mr. Hinojos. This got even better as it warmed up a bit.

The Green Chartreuse sends this over the top. Great cocktail.
