  • Really interesting depth of flavor, but borderline fat for me. Next time I'd also try the recommendation of cutting the chartreuse and/or the heering and upping the rye. Still, a unique sour!
  • Pretty good. The chartreuse and lemon dominate. Rittenhouse gets a little lost. — ★★★★

Good, but the Chartreuse is a little overwhelming.

Upping the rye to 45ml and cutting the Chartreuse in half was a nice improvement.

Made as a frozen drink with a bit of ginger syrup instead of the ginger garnish, a bit of simple syrup, and an little extra splash of rye, good stuff
