The Story
A modern tiki-adjacent classic, widely credited to San Francisco bartender Marco Dionysos. It takes the swizzle format of the Caribbean and fills it with Green Chartreuse, the monastic French liqueur, then rounds it out with pineapple, lime, and spiced falernum. The Chartreuse does the work a rum usually would.
