Had as an aperitif and it was perfect. Did find it a bit sweet for our tastes, so we added 3 drops of orange bitters (since the garnish was orange zest). Bitters lessened the sweetness. Both versions were wonderful.

Agreed. It's delicious, but I also find it a bit too sweet. Thanks for the tip!

My brother delievered a couple of bottles (green and yellow) Chartreuse yesterday, and since I've never had a Bijou before it's my birthday today I thought to myself "If not me, who? If not now, when?" Now, I obviously didn't exactly what to expect, but O-M-to the G. The result was something along the likes of a bitter, butterscotchy kind of a cocktail. Absolutely delicious. Maybe because I used an Old Tom gin (Hernö) and yellow Chartreuse..? Anyways, the result was absolutely amazing.
