This is a great Chartreuse drink. It is well balanced, but I found it a little on the sweet side. I may consider holding back a little on the yellow Chartreuse for late night sipping, and use as is for after dinner.
If you like Chartreuse, this is as good as it gets. Straight Green is too hot and a bit too herbal. Straight Yellow is sippable as a liqueur, but a bit too sweet for me. This is a great combination with alcohol, herbs, and sweetness all in perfect balance, helped by a bit of dilution from the stir. Santé!
I’d have to admit I’m a chartreuse lover and this is the best it can be for this liqueur. Gets sweeter with age on the rocks. Deliciously herbaceous. I typically have enjoy chartreuse in cocktails, but this is a nice sipping treat. I wouldn’t change the proportions at all: green forward, sweetness last.
