Rounding the rye up to 4:1:1 proportions is still plenty sweet and still has plenty of yellow Chartreuse in it. And McIlroy is right, the yellow Chartreuse works better with a lemon twist. Next time I'm going to try replacing the orange bitters with a dash of lemon bitters. A distinctive Brooklyn/Manhattan variation.

Made per spec only swapping Regan's orange bitters for Ango orange. (In recipes that call for both Ango Aromatic and orange bitters, I think Regan's works better). I chose Rittenhouse Rye, which is a favorite. This is an outstanding drink, one of my favorite Manhattan variations.. I don’t find this overly sweet but that’s likely down to individual taste preferences. I highly recommend the Cocchi di Torino. Antica formula brings too much vanilla to the drink and upsets the balance.

This is also great with Strega substituting for the Yellow Chartreuse. If the Italian Dandy cocktail is too sweet for you, try this instead.

Drink this one annually when the air starts to get cool & crisp. I usually use Punt e Mes in place of sweet vermouth

Tried first time as per recipe and second as per your version. I think I prefer it with Punt e Mes!

Very nice and not as sweet as I anticipated, which is a good thing. Complex and dangerously drinkable, actually. Whistlepig Piggyback 96.5 proof rye, Dolin Rouge and Dolin Genepy le Chamois (as I'm out of Yellow Chartreuse).

I liked this cocktail and could imagine, that a dash of Chartreuse Elixir instead of Angostura could it improve even more.

Made this today, on our extended World Cocktail Day, totally belongs to our club of favourite cocktails. Made up today for lack of ice cubes yesterday lol

Lovely flavors but found it to be really cloyingly sweet. I did use a particularly rich vermouth - La Quintyne Rouge. Would be interested to try this with 1/3 or 1/4 each of vermouth and chartreuse.

We tried one in a coupe glass neat and one in a rocks glass with one big honkin’ ice cube. Both enjoyable to the end but the one on ice got less sweet with the bitterness and complexity coming through with dilution. Either way, it’s a mighty tasty cocktail.

Packs a punch, but very good. Going on David M. suggestion we used green Chartreuse. Great Chartreuse flavour coming through.

This has long been one of my favorite things to drink. If you love Chartreuse, try swapping in the Green for a more intense, but equally delicious drink.
