Fantastic! Balance and synergy in pure forms... I felt coconut notes! :-).. Used this Chartreuse brazilian clone, Abadia, and Jerez brandy instead of Cognac...

Really well balanced. Slight chocolate notes to this cocktail. Definitely great after dinner.

By chance came across this cocktail again having forgotten to follow up as noted in comment below on trial with saline. I can report 2 drops of 20% saline definitely enhanced this cocktail for me. Curiously, while expecting it to decrease bitterness (Note: I didn't find this drink overly bitter), what I found was it really brightens the drink I believe by enhancing what ever citrus there is in the Yellow Chartreuse. Not having a particularly refined nose, I may be completely off base. Thoughts?

Agreed, a general flavour enhancer! I've added 2 drops of saline.

Retrying with a spicier cognac and Bitter truth bitters for both orange and aromatic, which seemed to emphasise the herbal qualities of the drink, pleasingly so. Curious to try Strega in place of the yellow chartreuse and see the result.

This was borderline stellar with Dolin Genepy replacing the Chartreuse Jaune. Near ideal texture and back-end, herbal-tonic treble.

I was wondering if this might finally convert me to yellow chartreuse, but regrettably not. I added a generous splash of Cocchi Americano to freshen it up a a bit more.

My second Cynar cocktail in as many nights. Really enjoyed this as others have. I am curious to try with a drop of 2% saline; will try and remember to report back!

An abundance of herbal bittersweet flavours which if you swirl it around your mouth almost explode in intensity.
