Story
When the conversation pushed further toward a neater and even more booze-forward direction, the vermouth from the Bijou disappeared entirely. This drink became a focused Old Fashioned-style expression of gin and Chartreuse, designed to keep the alpine herbs front and center.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with cubed ice.
- Stir until cold and slightly diluted.
- Strain into a rocks glass over a large cube.
- Express a lemon twist over the surface and garnish.
Notes
- The optional rich simple syrup smooths out the sharper herbal edges without turning the drink sweet.
