That's goooood, nicely boozy and bitter sweet, love how the lemon and lime juices play together, the Maraschino is just right for my taste, I might use the 50:50 citrus mix in some Last Word riffs to see how they are affected by this.

I agree with the other comments on reducing the Luxardo. Instead of misting I dipped the rosemary sprig into green chartreuse and then flamed it, really enhanced the smell and the cocktail.

Four different liqueurs, two juices, and an exotic garnish? How very tiki. I did find the maraschino to be a bit too much for me, and cutting it in half was much better.

For those on the US side of the pond, I would recommend these proportions:
1 oz Rittenhouse Rye
0.5 oz Suze
0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
0.5 oz Luxardo Maraschino
0.5 oz lemon juice
0.5 oz lime juice
1 tsp Benedictine

And I went with a green chartreuse rinse, as misting it seemed a bit much for home mixing.

Liked this a lot, lots going on, citrusy floral and herbal with a lovely touch of bitter suze.

I am the known Luxardo skeptic, so the next time I would reduce Luxardo by a half. But this is anyway a really special cocktail worth to make it! I eased the preparation by rinsing the cooled glasses with Chartreuse vert instead of spraying the ready cocktail.
