1 oz cognac

1 oz bourbon

1/2 oz Green Chartreuse

1/2 oz vanilla syrup

1/2 oz lemon juice (I used 3/4 oz because when I testing before shaking way too sweet)

Cardamom bitters (I don't have this but put a shake of cardamom, and wished I had pods instead)

Shake all, pour into chilled coupe.

This is good but I wouldn't say great. If doing again without the cardamom bitters I would absinthe rinse the glass instead. In fact, I think I would absinthe rinse anyway. And less syrup, though it's hard to measure smaller than half an ounce.

Shut up about green chartreuse! Shut up about green chartreuse!

I'm just butthurt because I can't get it.

Cardamom bitters are the best. I put them in lots of drinks, and sometimes just sparkling or tonic water lol

But yeah, looking at the ingredients the vanilla seems a little out of place. Do you think it would be better with simple syrup?

I might just try it with no sweetener next time, instead of putting more lime. Chartreuse is probably sweet enough to carry it, bourbon and cognac are both kind of sweet but I do think as a mixed base they sound good together.

And if cardamom bitters are great, maybe that is the missing piece.

I’m interested in this one. The bourbon plus vanilla syrup sounds like it might tend sweet?

I just need to find a way to get chartreuse without taking out a loan.

This sounds really intriguing. I’m putting it on my list!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
