  • Made w/ Carpano Antica. Nice if you like vermouth and Chartreuse (who doesn't?). The rum is entirely lost in this one.

There's nothing disobedient about this dirnk. In fact, it's very civil! So much so, I rated it 4.0.

But two cautions: 1) If you're not used to Green Chartreuse, use a "skinny" amount, as it has a strong, somewhat bitter taste; (2) Most importantly, choose your sweet vermouth carefully!. Not all sweet vermouths taste the same. For this drink, I used Dolin sweet vermouth, and it worked well. Cinzano, with its pronounced fruity flavor, might overwhelm even the Green Chartreuse. For this drink, Dolin or Vya, and perhaps Antica Formula are the sweet vermouths I would reach for first.

  • Subbed ginger liqueur (New Deal) for syrup & added 1/8 oz maple syrup, scaled lemon back to a fat half.
  • Very nice and ginger forward — ★★★★★
  • Easy drinking. Summery. Might go a touch lighter with the lemon juice next time. Used rosemary rather than mint and wasn't sorry.
  • A lot going on, almost to the point of being overdone. Nonetheless, a tasty drink.
  • Made with standard proof bourbon, Cointreau, mint. Lots of different flavors; perhaps the ginger syrup was a touch outspoken. Would be worth returning to with rosemary I think. — ★★★★
