3/4 oz sweet vermouth
3/4 oz gin
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse®
1 dash orange bitters
1 cherry

Shake all ingredients (except the cherry) with ice and strain into a
cocktail glass. Add the cherry on top and serve.

Had to go to the huge liquor store for the green Chartreuse. Expensive
stuff at 60 bucks a bottle but well worth the price. It doesn't spoil so
what the heck.

I like it. It's intense for sure and makes a great cocktail. Vive la
France!

Try the cocktail. It's delightful.

My father had a FIT many years ago when he served a thimbleful to his SIL and she left it on the end table. He took umbrage, but I notice he never touched it again himself. Is it good for anything?
