I was a bit surprised at how much the apple came through, this was fantastic

Very good drink. I agree with others that the cinnamon syrup needs to be controlled lest it takes over. A bit more restrained than the traditional Zombie, but all the better for it.

Split the base with Rum Bar and rhum agricole… can’t go wrong.

Needs an edge…the rye doesn’t quite get there, and agree with below, the vermouth is a ghost in this drink. Not sad I tried it, won’t be likely to make it again.

As someone who struggled to acquire chartreuse of any color in the past year, this is just showing off!

I understand that reference!

Looking at the combination of ingredients, I did not have to like this. But the positive ratings and comments kept it on my wish list.. Finally made it, and I'm glad I did. Delicious and interesting. Had no Grand Marnier, so I used a triple sec variant. Will try again with Grand Marnier.

And it would be an excellent brunch

"like a tiki drink's European cousin". Excellent description

Made with a great aged pisco instead of the mediocre cognac that I have. Turned out delicious, got into my favourites.

Try Salers instead of Suze

Happy Chartreuse Day! Heres how I celebrated:

1⁄2 fl oz Green Chartreuse

1⁄2 fl oz Yellow Chartreuse

1⁄2 fl oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1⁄4 fl oz Classic Gum Syrup

3 dash Chartreuse Élixir Végétal

3 fl oz Brut champagne/sparkling wine

A light-ish cocktail with a lot of herbal/sour/sweet richness going on with fizzy lifting drinks keeping it frosty. My variant is a little more potent than the OG.

My first mezcal cocktail, no chile liqueur but I put some drops of Tabasco, maybe a drop too much. I like the mezcal (a smoky San Cosme).
This cocktail is a nice mix of flavours by the mezcal and tequila with a sweet note of the vermouth and a fresh orange zest.
Will made it again (one drop of Tabasco will be fine).

Okay. Pretty sweet. A suggestion which made it way better (though still not excellent) is to add chocolate bitters. Reigns in the sweetness and makes it way more biscuit-y to me. Maybe a thing to do is to remake it as an Old Fashioned variation with a split of Bourbon and Cognac, 15ml only each of dark Creme de Cacao and coffee liqueur, finally 2 dashes of chocolate bitters. I think a significantly better drink can come out of that.

The combination of the Rum, dates, chocolate and plum (I used Sling Plum & Rootbeer bitters) is quite unique and odd, might not be welcoming to the traditional palate. But I quite much like this uniqueness. It’s good and bizarre in a good way.
By the way, I did not infuse the dates in the Martini, but instead used half a teaspoon of Silan (dates syrup) mixed into the White Martini (I used Cinzano Bianco instead).
Recommended for those who like dates and stone fruit cocktails in general.

Simple but effective

Enjoyable, especially for the appreciator of mezcal: the mezcal/campari/triple sec combination works well, although we felt that the grapefruit was largely lost. We thought a bit more citrus would improve it, perhaps grapefruit bitters or lime next time.

Better with a dash of simple syrup.

Many thanks, Simon. You assumed correctly! Should be 2.5ml Pimento Dram. Now corrected. I was too hasty when choosing from the options when uploading.

Agree with others about increasing the bitters to your liking but I also suggest adding orange bitters to the mix, at roughly a 2 chocolate : 1 orange ratio. Delicious.

Just noticed this is by Phil Ward. No wonder it’s so bloody delicious!

Steep overnight and this would be extra special.

Really sumptuous and delicious...and the bitters give it a nice sharp edge. Bravo. btw there appears to be a problem with the recipe specifying 2.5ml Allspice ground powder and the review referring to dram. We assumed that the recipe should be read as including 2.5ml Pimento Dram.

Revisiting with actual raspberries (!). Absolutely delicious and love how the acid from the berries cuts the richness of the Campari and sloe gin. Could easily Chuck in several more to taste. I created a little pyramid of raspberry goodness on my Cube. Tanq 10 made this extra special and quite boozy. Could easily add 5-10ml lemon juice and convert this to a shaken version as well.
