Bijou

Three jewels, stirred

Glass Cocktail
Method Stirred
Garnish lemon twist

Equal parts gin, green Chartreuse, and sweet vermouth, stirred over ice with a dash of orange bitters. Three loud bottles in equilibrium — herbal, spirit-forward, sweet. The Negroni's herbier, weirder predecessor.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Gin
  • 1 oz Green Chartreuse
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 dash Orange Bitters

Method

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or a brandied cherry.
