No Chartreuse so used Suze. Really good!

I’m always on the lookout for vintage tipples made with Chartreuse, and had found a reference to this drink some time ago. Alas, the lack of that essential ingredient, but genepy is doing OK as the understudy. I couldn’t find this the first time I searched within Difford’s Guide, because I didn’t review the 81 additional search returns beyond the first page. But an Internet search for the name of this drink and its ingredients led right back here, with the key parenthetical about Craddock.

This cocktail clearly descends from the Fourth Degree, with the (insert available alpine liqueur here) replacing the absinthe. It’s as the scale above indicates. Very drinkable.

Works very good with an amarena cherry on a rosemary branch

This is a little bit too sweet. Works far better served perfect.
