Review:

The flavour of Chartreuse shines through in this slightly sweet, spirituous cocktail. Historically served straight-up but we prefer on-the-rocks in an old-fashioned glass.

This was great for before dinner drinks. Good balance. Did serve over the rocks. Didn't last that long to get watery.
