Very tasty. A little sweet for me, but the green chartreuse/pineapple resonance that is so tasty in the Pina Verda works here, too. Will try with a float of overproof rum next time.

That’s good.

With this, we like to float 5ml of over-proof, pot still, aged Jamaican Rum...in our case Worthy Park 109. For us, both Green and Yellow Chartreuse dance very seductively with Rum and Tequila.

Excellent idea. Will try that next time.

Wow. New summer fave.

I made this using Jägermeister instead of Chartreuse, and I used my homemade falernum. Oh my was it good, it is definitely one of my top favorite cocktails

This is mean green animal - the Grinch among the cocktails.
For a smoother variant, do consult the Emerald swizzle ; )

Even people who claimed they don’t like chartreuse loved it! It was the hit of the party.

Beware: This will drain your bottle!

Can't believe I waited so long to make this (was coveting my Chartreuse). Falernum is a beautiful bridge between the pineapple and Chartreuse. Really a wonderful cocktail.
