I don't have Cardamom Bitters, Would it be better to infuse the vodka with some cardamom pods, or use different bitters? I have Angostura, Orange Angostura, Peychauds and Bob's Chocolate.

Use straight from the bottle. Dilution will come from shaking the cocktail with ice.
That's what I suspected. Thank you!
Do you dilute the lime cordial as per the bottle info, or use it straight from the bottle? I've got Rose's Lime Juice Cordial.
This is a straight sets winner! Husband had to check it had alcohol in it. He checked the second one too!
I've got Vivir Anejo, Altos Plata and Don Angel Oro at home. Which one would be best for this cocktail?
I used the Altos. Husband declared it lovely and light and perfect for a warm summer's afternoon. Result!

I made the brandy variation. Very smooth. A fine, dignified toast to our Queen.
I’ll caveat this with I’ve never drunk Green Chartreuse so I don’t know how the drink should have tasted. Used Jagermeister. The colour was a little more oxidised apple than your picture, but we were very happy with the taste. Fresh and fruity, but not in a sweet way. I’d drink one again.
I don't have any Green Chartreuse. I've looked up substitutes and of the suggestions I have Sambuca, Absinthe and Jagermeister. Which would be best in this?
