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

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.

Great suggestion. Yes Benedictine's always good in everything I've tried it with. Have you tried Boomsma Claerkampster Cloosterbitter? It's a stand up substitute for the Chartreuse if you can get it.

No, we haven't tried the Boomsma but notice that it is available here downunder. It seems to us that one of the problems with all potential substitutes is that none of them get anywhere near the ABV of Green Chartreuse and that this has inevitable consequences for flavour comparisons.
