Loving this one. Good to the last drop. Like Simon Sedgley says: 'a beautifully balanced cocktail'. The Midori asserts itself and the gènèpi is supurb.

Made another one, this time substituted Boomsma Cloosterbitter for the gènèpi. It has a wintergreen note. Reduced the lemon a tad. Liked it better, right out of the gate; was a small serve and was gone before it had a chance to temper... May get to five.

This is one of our favourite Summer Sunday afternoon cocktails to offer friends at a party. It's so simple to make and a pretty green. If you run out of Gin, as we recently did because everybody wanted a Last Word or Gin and Tonic, then just substitute for the Gin a Tequila and Mezcal mix (we did a 15ml to 10ml ratio). Pushes it towards a Japanese Slipper Margarita but who's complaining?

Also, why are there so few recipes here that incorporate Genepi? Is it because it is considered a poor man's version of Chartreuse? For all sorts of reasons, this would be absurd.

We think this is a beautifully balanced cocktail. Perfect fun for a sunny Sunday afternoon BBQ. We experimented with two variants: substituting Italicus and then Acqua Bianca for the Genepy. We kept to the proportional measure in both cases: 22.5ml. Both we enjoyed, although the one with Italicus being perhaps slightly less complex than the original and the one with Acqua Bianca slightly less balanced.

Big agree, looking forward to trying the mezcal/tequila split.
