I used germain-robin brandy and la gitana manzanilla sherry, and assumed the chartreuse was green. The sherry doesn't get lost, which I appreciate. It's like a lighter, fresher last word- definitely recommended!

This is just such a beautiful use of manzanilla in a modern cocktail. For lack of celery bitters, I used Ango, with good results. Might try something different next time. Delicious.

This really is a nice combination of Manzanilla sherry and Green Chartreuse--without the Chartreuse overpowering the rest as can so easily happen. The proportions are spot on and every element can be tasted and contributes here (including the pinch of salt.) I rate it a 4.5/5 as a semi-dry cocktail.
