  • very good!
  • Too strong for me
  • 4/23/20: Too much Chartreuse for me.
  • Yet to Try
  • At first a bit too Campari forward, but opens up and tastes great over time

Comments

Also works well with 1/4 chartreuse for those who aren't fans. I added the remaining bsp of fernet and it gave the expected minty oomph that was also a nice variation
