Another excellent cocktail tried a few times now. This last iteration I increased the Yellow Chartreuse to 7.5 ml which for me improved the balance between the Crème de Violette and the other ingredients. I suspect though that this in part is because I may not be using the best of CdV. I would love to try this with Benoit Serres Liqueur de Violette if I ever manage to source it in Canada!

Impulsively bought a bottle of CdV and I'm tired of Aviations. The chartreuse works beautifully and lessons the floral aroma while rounding out an excellent drink.

I've been replacing Yellow Chartreuse with Benedictine D.O.M. and Creme de Violette with Creme Yvette, and I've found it's just as perfect with those modifications

This is a perfect blend of flavours. The cocktail is refreshing, but not too sweet. There are herbals hints. Was perfect as a before dinner cocktail, but would also work in the evening.
