A beautiful hue of earthy pastel green, this gin-based cocktail is from the Prohibition era and boasts a complex yet balanced flavour profile that has endured for over a century.
Originating in early 1900s Detroit, this drink is composed of just four ingredients expertly blended together: gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and a squeeze of lime.
One of the earliest mentions of the cocktail can be traced back to 1951 to Ted Saucier’s Bottoms Up, in its notes section.
Ingredients: 22 ml gin (opt for Tanqueray or Gordon’s), 22 ml Green Chartreuse, 22 ml Maraschino Luxardo, 22 ml fresh lime juice
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour all ingredients one by one into the cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, preferably a champagne coupe glass.
