Apple brandy with complex botanical influences from both gin and Chartreuse mellowed by botanically enriched fortified wine. If you like spirit-forward...
Revisiting with laird’s 86, Plymouth gin and dopo teatro. Multilayered and so many beautiful flavours here. Be sure to balance plus/minus millilitres for your ingredients. I find Chartreuse quite strong so relatively increased the others, especially gin and applejack. Top stuff!!
Like an apple brandy-laced Martinez, with the orange influences exchanged for the complex herbs of Chartreuse. Wonderful as a nightcap; though only a bar spoon, the liqueur adds a lot.
Solid five! May add a plus to that with the right vermouth. Made mine with Antica Formula. Looking forward to alternatives. Will try it without the Chartreuse. Maybe.
This recipe is incorrectly listed in "1967 Cocktails and Mixed Drinks" by Charles Tuck, as a "Waldorf" cocktail.
Cheers!
