I have a litre bottle of Metaxa I've been meaning to finish up so I made this today. It's pretty good and the chartreuse and ouzo are battling it out for the flavours. I think they complement each other quite well! Thank you Simon.

Revisiting with laird’s 86, Plymouth gin and dopo teatro. Multilayered and so many beautiful flavours here. Be sure to balance plus/minus millilitres for your ingredients. I find Chartreuse quite strong so relatively increased the others, especially gin and applejack. Top stuff!!

I agree with this on the chartreuse front! But still a great cocktail.

Huh. Not quite what I'd expected. Not as sweet, and more earthy and bitter. Immediately thought I needed something spicy to eat with this. Tacos or Indian food. I don't know why, but this is calling for coriander and smoky chicken to join it.

Got a Patron Silver on offer today and this seemed like the perfect recipe to try it with. Very nice, just the right level of sweet. I can see why it would be good at the beach.

Thanks for this one Simon. Before I try to make it, would regular rosso vermouth work here also or is there a significant impact to the flavour?
