Comments

Cutting the gin to 1.5 oz. and adding 1/2 oz of lime juice balances this drink out and makes it more palatable.

via cocktailvirgin:  the Hawthorne bar bible has this at 3/4 Cocchi and 1/4 Chartreuse. This pushes it towards a more balanced Martini variant & it may not need the acid others have added with larger quantities of Chartreuse.
