Anna - It tastes better chilled than room temp, trust me. You are right on about the chartreuse. Not only is it VERY herbal, it’s 55% alcohol level is strong. It’s a powerful drink. Hard to make and not easy to drink in the middle. I enjoyed it but given the level of difficulty combined with not being used to chartreuse, doesn’t make it a regular beverage.

Asha - Thanks. I used a large spoon after the first layer to buffer the liqueurs from one another. Physics took care of the rest. You just have to be very careful and pour slow.

but how does it taste? i can handle the cognac and the blue curacao, but the chatreuse is pushing it. so herbal.

what’s your verdict on the overall flavours? was your description of “distinctive” meant to be positive, fence sitting or negative? ;p
