I just wanted a vodka cocktail that wasn't a straight-up Martini or doused with cranberry and this sounded good! I took John Hinjos advice below and added three or so dashes of orange bitters, and I think that gave a little extra punch to a cocktail that has a surprisingly mellow quality, despite the quantity of vodka. I used Effen vodka and Luxardo's Del Santo for the green charteuse-alike. Very easy to sip.

Didn’t have decent ice, but this definitely has potential, and could be just the thing, eg for those who like booze but not gin. I went with a couple of dashes of absinthe for the liqueur and it was very nice 😊

I was really hoping this would suck. But if some company bottled a vodka that tasted like this, it would be my house vodka... I'm testing drinks while finishing off a bottle of Callieres triple sec, but I'm not wasting one drop of my Chartreuse verte on this, so I went with Dolin Genepy... Like Alexandre said - unexpectedly good.

Unexpectingly good, Cointreau Gives a lot of relief to the Vodka

Such a pleasant drink. Satisfying with a breezy coolness. A perfect drink for a sunny winter day. I love the way GC hits from behind. Perfect.

This is a very pleasant drink. The Cointreau does a nice job of taking the edge off the Vodka. I didn't have an orange to zest so I added a drop of orange bitters but for me this was not an improvement. Might try this again with orange flavored Vodka.

I liked this drink. It is, slightly for me, sweeter than I was expecting. Nice spice and orange notes.

Disappointing
