Californie Palace
Vermouth-based and wonderfully aromatic with maraschino and monastic herbal complexity. Delicious as an aperitivo, digestive or nightcap

Decided to have a go at this tonight but no Daiquiri Bitters, sorry Simon - I need to pop up and get some but for whatever reason the Peychaud's kept looking up at me and I'll be, two dashes later - it married up pretty damn well with the Chartreuse.

Didn't have the bitters so used 50/50 London dry gin and Skin gin (moroccan mint). Lovely. Herbaly and well balanced for mine and SO's palate.

Delicious, rich, layered, semisweet. Tried with a tiny amount of lemon juice, which was no improvement.
Drink it as it is, bit sweet, what's not to like.

This is a power house of flavours. I used MARTINI & ROSSI Riserva Speciale Ambrato. A real sipper and rather more of a digestif for my taste. I can recommend the Crown Gin as it needs the extra strength to bring the gin forward.

M. Saucier’s recipe adds up to four and one-half thirds. How is that possible?

I assume Saucier means 1/3 of a measure not 33% of the cocktail's volume.

Made as specified (incl. Mr. D’s bitters). A bit too sweet for me.

Based on this comment I wonder if I should reduce the Maraschino slightly

Really nice aperitif. Don't have the bitters or pineapple so don't know what I'm missing, but nonetheless it's a keeper.

If only I could get my hands on a bottle of Chartreuse these days. (Insert sad face)

Indeed.
