Amazing...

I just mixed up one of these w/ Sazerac rye and Punt e Mes -- but I used 1/4 oz yellow Chartreuse in place of the Benedictine. The result is incredible; the Chartreuse takes just a bit of edge off of the drink, totally ups the spiciness quotient, and makes it twice as tasty as a result. Highly, highly recommended!
