Did try this as per your suggestion in the Six Cylinder thread. Will definitely revisit this when I find that elusive bottle of Chartreuse Juane (subbed Dolin Génépy). Subtle and complex, this one demanded tiny sips to unravel the contents. Might have missed the orange had I not known it was there (navel's not the best juicer) and the cherry notes from the maraschino were rather transparent. Definitely juniper from the gin plus all the bitter hearbals from the gin, the génépy, and the barrel aged Peychaud's. Mostly.
I guess our old friend Strega could be an option too? This one also came out well as a 2/3 serving; keep ‘em wanting more..! Double checked that yellow chartreuse contains 130 herbs, so perhaps we should be modest in our tasting ambitions! 😂. Maybe think of this as a White Manhattan?!
O.K. now I'm fully on board. Chartreuse Juane finally landed in my in-box, a noticeable improvement over Dolin Génépy in this cocktail. Also Cara Cara juice and original Paychaud's 30 drops.
