Tried with 2 oz White grappa 100abv,  3/4 for other ingredients (Yellow Chartreuse).

Supposed to be birds is the Word #2 without chocolate bitters and was very chocolaty and delicious. Will do again !

Really enjoy this version. Especially with my favourite gin (a black gin with mushrooms, Antidote Gin from Port Alberni BC- too bad for any US folks haha)
