History

A combination of two very similar drinks, that both originally called for thyme infused gin. The first I discovered at The Lobby Bar (One Aldwych, London) and the other came from Tony Conigliaro at Isola, London, England.

Review

A wonderfully fresh herbal Martini with the distinctive taste of Chartreuse. You'll either love it or hate it.

Love. Used Conniption Navy gin and triple lemon thyme. Amazing. SO happy to have Chartreuse in US again.

Un très bon cocktail dominé autant au nez qu’en bouche par les herbes aromatiques. En même temps, il n’y a que des produits issus de plantes.
Attention, bien que toutes ces plantes possèdent des vertus médicinales, à consommer avec modération!

This is achieved by double straining through a fine strainer when pouring from the shaker.
