A classic early 20th-century cocktail made with gin, sweet vermouth, and green or yellow Chartreuse, stirred and served as an aperitif.
Yellow Chartreuse and green Chartreuse are interchangeable (yellow is slightly sweeter). For a similar herbal profile, try Bénédictine or Drambuie, though the flavor will shift.
Stir with ice for 20–30 seconds to chill without over-dilution, then strain into a coupe or cocktail glass.
Use a London Dry-style gin with assertive botanicals; its juniper and spice will complement the vermouth and Chartreuse without being overpowered.
