As ‘love and murder’ is on my favourite list I was fairly sure we’d like this, and we did! Similar to my comments for that, this has the last word gin, lime and chartreuse with a lovely balancing dose of bitter. Being a mezcal fan we also took Simon’s advice and after tasting added some mezcal for an extra dimension of flavour.

We thought that the Gin on its own doesn't offer a solid enough grounding here. So we added 15ml Mezcal. Much better for us.

I thought the two Chartreuse would balance the Campari and lime but nope! Bitter is the word!

Absolutely not strange but delicious with an astonishing strong lime note. Made it with Boomsma and Chartreuse jaune, maybe Chartreuse vert would be an even better choice.
