This classic is called the Bijou in the Savoy bar book - a great drink. It dates back at least as far as Harry Johnson (1882). The Club Cocktail, with Yellow Chartreuse, is also well worth a try!

I must be old-school because I loved this! Bold but balanced flavor.

This really feels like it needs something. Added a few dashes of Wormwood Bitters and Absinthe myself.
