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

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.

Nice and passable
