Story

After exploring spirit-forward Yellow Chartreuse combinations, the conversation briefly pivoted toward lower-proof territory. This highball came from the idea of stretching blanc vermouth and Yellow Chartreuse into something refreshing and sessionable without losing the herbal complexity.

Method

Fill a Collins glass with cubed ice.
Add blanc vermouth, Yellow Chartreuse, and honey syrup if using.
Top with sparkling water.
Stir briefly to combine.
Garnish with a lemon wheel and thyme.

Notes

- The original concept allowed dry soda, tonic, or sparkling water; sparkling water used as default specification.
