Ingredients

1 oz Green Chartreuse
0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
0.5 oz Orgeat
0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
1 dash Orange bitters
0.25 oz Dry curaçao — Optional

Story

The request for a non-swizzle orgeat-and-Chartreuse drink led away from tiki textures and toward a more elegant sour. The result became a coupe-served herbal sour with almond richness, bright lemon, and optional curaçao for extra floral lift.

Method

Add all ingredients to a shaker with cubed ice.
Shake until thoroughly chilled.
Fine strain into a chilled coupe.
Garnish with a lemon twist or rosemary sprig.

Notes

The curaçao is optional but pushes the drink toward a more floral and perfumed profile.
