Wow!! This has been on my Must Try list for a while and is now on my favourites. So simple, yet so elegantly balanced. I didn’t think there was too much orgeat, but after looking at the comments, I might try a second one (even though that immediately qualifies as binge drinking these days!!) with a bit less orgeat - but be ready to top it back up if need be.

Maybe a bit heavy on the Green Chartreuse for me? Fine if you like that, or a Last Word. The alternative is just to have a Last Word on the rocks.

The guests have gone; there’s champagne open; what shall I make? THIS!!!

Darn!!! As I age, I am trying to cut down my rarely-used bottles, but it looks like I will be investing in another bottle of Applejack - just for this cocktail ! Delicious!
