  • Tart and balanced with a little bitterness, sweetness. Almost too drinkable. Like a more complex Cloister. I'd like to try upping the herbalness in that direction.
  • Nicole likes it
  • Have subbed in Cointreau when out of Chartreuse, not the same, but it worked.
  • Love the tang of grapefruit against the pungent herbs of gin and Chartreuse. Try also with Muse Verte
  • Tasty and well balanced. — ★★★★★

Rafa,

Got it. As an aside, this is why it's so important to properly cite the creator, year and location a drink was first made. Imagine if people took good notes back pre-Prohibition. We'd know a lot more about cocktails today than we do.  Thanks,  Zachary

This is a really good drink.  Balance is right; it's one garnish or substitution or bitters away from being a classic.
