Got this one wrong, missed the "crunch part" (the pre-kamikaze might play a roll)
Turned out ok, boozy as ..

Wow, this is a good example of how even a little bit yellow chartreuse can completely be front and center in a drink. Tasty but you've got to enjoy yellow chartreuse (I do). Be sure to use a gin that can hold its own. I'd also like to try doubling the grenadine and lemon for a different experience.

I liked this one a lot. I upped both the Chartreuse and lemon just a little. Reminiscent of both a Last Word and a very herbal Sidecar.
