Cocktail No 9 Chartreuse Temptation

Well this is a first, as I rarely have Chartreuse in the cocktail cabinet, but since the champagne was already uncorked and I had stock, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

This one is hard to describe if you don'tknow what Chartreuse tastes like. Its a unique taste of herbal wonderfulness - you either love it or hate it. 

The Chartreuse is by far the dominant flavour. The lemon spike is important and subtle. The champagne does not seem to dilute the flavours but brings extra interest from the bubbles.

Freshness is the best way to describe this one. Freshness with a sock to the back of the head!

Recipe

Pour 1 measure of Green Chartreuse into a champagne glass. Add an ice cube and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Top up with sparkling wine / champagne / cava.
