I had Green Chartreuse in the correct possition on the chart, but it is not 
1.110 it should have read Green Chartreuse Specific Gravity 1.010.  Also you 
are correct, the higher the proof the higher it floats.  If it didn't, there 
would be no drinks called Flaming Dr. Peppers, etcetera.  Zyedgo - thanks for 
the info.

Also you are correct, you only have to look at the bottle to see the proof, 
however if a person wanted to create a layered drink, and didn't have the 
liqueurs, a chart might be a lot easier to use than to have to check every 
bottle at a liqueur store.
    

I posted this recipe on the forum a while back.  This recipe at this web site 
is incorrect according to the specific gravity chart.

Pousse Cafe 

Ingredients

.5 fl oz Grenadine
.5 fl oz Creme de cassis
.5 fl oz Green chartreuse
.5 fl oz Yellow chartreuse
.5 fl oz White creme de menthe
.5 fl oz Brandy
 
Method

Float each in order over an inverted spoon into a pousse cafe glass. The 
different specific gravity keeps liqueurs separate, so YOU MUST pour in the 
order given.

It should be according to the gravity chart:
