Nice herbal flavor, the cucumber and rose water add enough freshness to prevent this from tasting like a salad. The chartreuse adds a nice subtle herbal background without being overpowering.

Comments

Are the cucumber and rosewater mentioned in the notes part of the flavor profile of the drink, or should they be in the ingredients?

What's going on here? The cucumber and rose water aren't listed in the ingredients but are in the comments and notes? There's no reference or link?
