I was in the mood for something bourbony after work, and on Internet Cocktail Database I came across something called the Chartreuse Cocktail: 1 oz bourbon, 3/4 oz each dry vermouth and yellow chartreuse. Shake over ice etc.
I was rather suspicious of the recipe; I don't tend to like bourbon drinks, like the Perfect Manhattan, that call for dry vermouth. This isn't bad though. The flavor is very herbal, sweet, and reminiscent of Benedictine. For bourbon, I used Four Roses' Single Barrel. Surprisingly, not a bad cocktail.
