The sense of smell plays an important role with this cocktail. Gin is the prominent element here, with the herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse giving it its aromatic character.

He also introduces changing the Grand Marnier to Curacao and calling it “curled” Satan’s Whisker’s. I prefer the straight, so I will introduce this […]
