One of the new owners of Musso & Frank Grill, an old time restaurant on Hollywood Blvd. had bought a bottle of Chartreuse and didn't know what to make of it. I did some reading in my bar book library and found this old recipe. We made this last night in the restaurant and everyone who tried it loved it... yeah... I know it is not tiki but a very good old fashioned cocktail.
