Fabulous. I used Tanqueray and leaned in on the honey and mint. Plus that newfound elusive bottle of Chartreuse. Shout out to Donovan!

I made this with St. George Valley Gin and Strega. The mint in my garden had medium-small leaves, so I used 7 not 2. Still not enough mint flavor. I did very much enjoy the drink, but a fruity gin is NOT the way to go. I will revisit this.

I tried to rebuild this cocktail, sorrily without the special Monkey gin. A mint and lemon zest decoration and the use of pure honey made a really good and not to sweet cocktail.

Just tried and quite different and also a tad sweeter with Strega - I'd cut the sugar back a tad. Also quite different when made with regular Monkey 74 verses Experiementum 2y06.
