I multiply the proportions by 1.5 when I make this: it makes it easier to measure, and gives me more delicious drink to enjoy! :)

I like it better all equal parts, 3/4 ounce each.

I have a Bardinet Maraschino and I feel it’s overpowering in this cocktail. Anybody have any experience with it? I want to know if it’s worth picking up some Luxardo or if maybe I just don’t like maraschino.

I mixed it with Bardinet, then I enjoyed it with Luxardo in The Pharmacy, Málaga. The difference is enormous in favour of Luxardo. This must be one of the best cocktails I've ever tasted.

Luxardo is worth the investment! Out of interest, I just tried with both 10ml (1/3oz) and 15ml (1/2oz) of maraschino (both versions without the addition of sugar). With 10ml I found thin and far from being a last word. The 15ml version was OK but I much prefer it with 20ml.

absolute masterpiece

I tried this with Sipsmith VJOP and thought it more balanced, attenuating the sharpness of the lime.

I made this with Tanqueray dry gin, Green Chartreuse, Lazzaroni Maraschino liqueur, and Lime juice. Garnished with Amarena Fabbri mini amarena cherries.

If you don't have Chartreuse, St. Germain works very nicely in this cocktail also.

If you use VEP Charteuse, Maraschino Perla dry, and perhaps Nolets reserve gin would you do equal parts or still stick with your recipe? I have tried it both ways and equal parts the chartreuse VEP comes through better it is entirely a different and outstanding cocktail. Curious on your thoughts? I like your recipe better with regular chartreuse but am torn between the two when using the VEP and Perla Dry Luxardo.

Sadly, I don't have VEP Chartreuse or Nolet's reserve to experiment with. Take a lot to move me from my tried and tested formulation for 'standard issue' products.
