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.
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.
