Love the layers of this cocktail, somehow the dry and sweet elements dance around each other perfectly.

I used Roku Gin (on my last bottle of Crown Jewel and cannot find another source !) and served in a narrow mouthed sherry glass which helped to direct the flavours and smells.
I used 1/4 Chartreuse and I found it just about perfect with the lemon and sweetness of the limoncello.
Really really loved this drink

I made this three ways (in order): no Chartreuse, called for measure, double that measure. There is a definite difference between the first two. The Chartreuse is weak in the recipe above, but it shows up in the aftertaste, which makes that the most interesting of the three takes. The doubled measure just makes the drink more sweet and doesn't necessarily enhance the character of the Chartreuse. I would recommend that Adjournment variation.

It seems amazing to me that diffords doesn’t have some version of this without the chartreuse. I have been drinking one with about this amount of gin, but reversing the amounts of vermouth and Lemoncello and it’s wonderful. Now all it needs is a name.

Great idea. Many thanks, David. I'm on the case with the work-in-progress name, the Adjournment.

Really like this one. Used a homemade 100 proof vodka limoncello, might try it with the 190 proof next time.

This is a wonderful wet martini. The Chartreuse adds more herbal hints. The lemon hints are wonderful. Love it.

Having run out of Rutte, I made this cocktail with Tanqueray Rangpur Lime gin. Interestingly herbal and refreshing.

I must confess I was skeptical because I thought the Limoncello would have made the mix too sweet and lemony and spoilt it. Instead, I found it correctly balanced in terms of sweetness and flavour. The gin still manages to stand out. Recommended.
