How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Comment:

Fantastically herbal with hints of apple, mint and eucalyptus. This classic is also often made with green Chartreuse but we prefer with half yellow and half green. It's controversial but try this combo shaken rather than stirred.
