- Definitely interesting! The salt is important; don't be timid with the pinch.
- This is a nice sour.
- I used watermelon syrup instead of pineapple syrup. Quite delicious! I used smoked salt for the salt.

Interesting, the fernet/pineapple combo reminds me of this:

But Chartreuse with a bit of salt to match the fernet bitterness sounds more appealing than S&C, which I thought dominated the drink. I'll have to give this a shot...
Did you use canned pineapple or fresh pressed?

Fresh pressed, but I've found that cloudy, not-from-concentrate pineapple juice from a carton works perfectly well too. I like Trader Joe's: http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=39
Give it a shot. Curious to know what you think.

Don't let the unappealing color dissuade you. This drink may look like murky pond water, but it tastes fantastic!

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it's a shame about the color; it's probably best to serve it in a mug or some other opaque container to keep it appetizing. (Maybe Tiki bars are onto something.)

Pretty good. I can't help but compare it to the Industry Sour and Fernetaboutit, which I feel both work better because of the lime juice. Maybe this one could use some acid, too.

Still haven't tried the Industry Sour, might give that one a go tonight. Curious about how well Chartreuse and Fernet play together without the pineapple juice to smooth things over.
Awesomely!

Based on the recipe, I made one of these with Liber's Pineapple Gum Syrup, rather than the pineapple juice discussed in several of the comments. I thought I was a very nice after-dinner drink, with the Fernet herbals winning out over the Chartreuse.

Little late to the party on this one, but I'm guessing the recipe has been updated, since the comments reference a lack of lime juice--now listed at 3/4oz--and using pineapple juice instead of the now listed pineapple syrup. Made too much of a caramelized sous vide pineapple syrup recently (juiced caramelized pineapple chunks, and cooked that with equal parts demerara sugar and the pineapple rinds for 2 hours at 135 degrees) and was searching for recipes to use it up. Made this for myself and 3 other jaded bartenders, and we all loved it. Very balanced given the ingredients list, with both the Fernet menthol, minty goodness and Green Chartreuse herbal elements peaking through but not dominating. 5 stars.
