Agree on less Chartreuse. 0.75 worked nicely. Preferred with a spicier style Anejo ( I used Herradura). (4 Stars)

Can-Can Martini

2 oz Gin
1 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1 twst Lemon peel (or orange, as garnish)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with lemon or orange twist.

Notes

A fragrant, easy to love variation on the classic martini! The bracing, dry flavors of gin and the sweet, floral-fruity flavors of elderflower liqueur balance each other beautifully. Play with the proportions of St. Germain and dry vermouth according to personal preference. I like a good dose of vermouth, but some may prefer to substitute a dry white wine.

  • A sweet floral martini, very tasty and not harsh. The lemon twist and the elderberry play nice together, but it might have just a bit too much St. Germain. Consider reducing the St. Germain to see what it tastes like.

  • Great, interesting, easy drink! Funky with a light sweetness.
  • Unique bitter herbal balance, but a bit too sweet for me. I added 3/4 oz. squeezed pink grapefruit and that worked well for me.
  • Challenging! Brilliant! Maybe a little sweet.

  • Completely decadent! Use super fresh blackberries for more taste. I'd personally skip double straining because I like the texture.

  • Barely a cocktail in the sense of Pink Gin. If you use good gin, and if you like gin, this one is great.

MOJO1229 commented on 8/03/2022:

For gin lovers, the Napoleon is a complex and boozy drink worth making. But it's not an easy drink to make because it's difficult to measure 2 dashes. For the Fernet Branca (FB) I rinsed the Old Fashioned glass but left a very small puddle in the glass. For the others, I poured a VERY small amount in the cap and then to the mixing glass. Next time I will use a dropper for consistency and ease of adjusting the amount. But the FB dash should be less because it can easily overwhelm other ingredients. Because it is difficult to precisely measure two dashes, the resulting taste is likely to vary from batch to batch. Sometimes a diamond, sometimes a stone. Good luck!
I rated my effort as 4.0--this time.
