Exceptional cocktail, definitely try it with other rums, it makes for lovely variations. A Jamaican white took the prize for me.
Just tried this and I found the chartreuse kind of drowned in the coconut and pineapple. Would either up the chartreuse next time or maybe reduce the lime, cream of coconut and pineapple juice.
Just tried this with Strega instead of Yellow Chartreuse, that worked really well.
Made this with Yellow Chartreuse and Lemon instead of Green and Lime... a piña amarilla if you will. Like it better than the piña colada.

Very nice, drinking it Collins style in the summer is a perfect summer drink
Pear eau-de-vie is delicious, but the pairing with orange juice is not spectacular. My personal favorite is to *pear* it with a flavored syrup that compliments the pear. To keep the pear in focus, I use a reduced white wine syrup.
Used pisco over gin for some prominent grape flavors since I don't have fresh grapes.. A great substitution.
I went with difford's proportions, but served it over ice in an Old Fashion glass. Definitely enjoyed it more this way than in a coupe. The cocktail benefits from the added dilution too.
Cocktail really depends on the apple brandy - mine has a very cidery flavor, so I went down to 3/4 and it balanced better with 1 oz dry gin and 1 oz apricot liqueur
This is very bitter and grapefruit-forward with 1:1 syrup and lemon. I tried it with a bit of Elderflower Liqueur and ½ simple ½ grapefruit syrup, that gave me a better more reined in grapefruit flavor.
