This is an outstanding cocktail, filled with layers of flavor. I finally got a bottle Green Charteuse recently and it adds an important element to this drink. Just a lovely celebration of celery, sweet, sour and vegetal. Many thanks for this one - new favorite.

Does it make sense to use absinthe as the alternate herbal liqueur?

No. There are a growing number of alternatives to Chartreuse, with many new products coming to market: https://www.diffordsguide.com/beer-wine-spirits/category/1184/green-chartreuse-and-alternative-liqueurs

Pretty good, but I'd dial down on the sugar syrup, bit too sweet

I ended up completely omitting the sugar syrup & liked the drink much better
