  • Used new ratios. Never had a tequila/vermouth mix; balances nicely with the chartreuse. Will try a reposado next time. (Much prefer to the Bijou.)

Craig E commented on 5/15/2022:

Sother Teague’s cited book does indeed have this as equal parts (1 oz each), while the more recent Imbibe page citing him moves the balance away from Chartreuse which I agree does seem sensible. If I had to guess, perhaps early on he borrowed the ratio from the Bijou (which the book cites as inspiration), and more recently decided to adjust the spec. I’ve curated the recipe to conform to what appears to be the latest version.
