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.
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.
