This appropriately named boozy cocktail is a cross between a Last Word and a Paper Plane

Drinking this now. WT 101, Rhapsody, Campari. Definitely upped the volumes to 3/4 oz. Delicious.

I tried it with the Wild Turkey 101 that Simon has listed in his notes. I prefer it in this cocktail to some more expensive bourbons I had tried. Surprising how well the Chartreuse and Aperol work together. Dolin Genepy works fine if you have a limited supply of chartreuse.

Woodinville 90° bourbon, green Chartreuse, Aperol etc. First sip rather sour, the very smooth high rye bourbon opened the door to an interesting interplay between the extreme opposites Aperol and Chartreuse; and play well they did, center stage!

Ah, what the heck. Made it this time with Old Forester, Dolin Génépy and Campari, and it still works fabulously! Made a double and it was just as good as it warmed up in the glass.

When we can't lay our hands on a bottle of Green Chartreuse we go 50:50 Genepy and Benedictine. Not the same, of course, but works very nicely for us.

Very tasty with green chartreuse, Aperol, and 100 proof bourbon.

Je l'ai découvert il y a peu, une merveille ! Je n'avais pas de bourbon sous la main, j'ai donc utilisé du Bulleit Rye. Cela fonctionne parfaitement, plus qu'à essayer avec du bourbon pour comparer

This is delicious! We do not currently have any Green Chartreuse but tried broVo Uncharted Rhapsody and it definitely works. Also used .75 oz each as someone suggested in an earlier comment.

Faccia Brutto Centerbe is another worthy substitution.

This cocktail seems to be polarising. Although I'm a fan of both bourbon and chartreuse, this flavour combination did not work for me at all.

Wow. Used Meyer lemon which are not as sour as other varieties. You could do 1.5 x the ingredients as another commenter suggested.

Too sour for my tastes, at least with the Eureka lemon juice that I used. I would probably dial it back to 10mL if I made it again.

Made this today. Unfortunately not to my liking.

Delicious - we made it with Lillet Blanc as we had no Aperol.

Sublime. The ingredients compliment each other perfectly, creating a moreish drink that tastes far greater than the sum of it's parts. I upped the bourbon and Chartreuse to 0.75oz as others have done. Off to make my second now...

Wonderful. Of the two Chartreuses, I like the green best as it does not seem to be as sweet and has more herbal notes. Very smooth cocktail, but could be dangerous as it drinks very easily.
11th February 2022 at 23:18
I used Yellow Chartreuse and a higher proof bourbon (53% Makers Select) and like someone else did 0.75 oz each, highly recommend.

How did you get the bamboo skewers to take that form for the garnish?
1st November 2021 at 07:55
The bamboo skewers were already in that shape - not something we shaped.

Very balanced, everything can be tasted. Excellent addition to the repertoire of a Bourbon lover. A tiny amount of sugar water added for a hint of sweetness
2nd April 2021 at 21:05
I wasn't sure that I'd like this, but it really works. Not easy to describe, almost sweet and sour but still balanced. Did 1.5 the volume of all ingredients so it wasn't quite so tiny.
19th March 2021 at 03:43
This is one of my top favs! I would have thought to combine Chartreuse and Aperol, so good.
