History

Adapted from a recipe created circa 2023 by Adam George Fournier, beverage director at Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, USA. Adam's recipe calls for Chartreuse VEP Verte and is preferable to the standard Green Chartreuse if available. It also called for Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino vermouth.

Review

As the name suggests, this late-night sipper is boozy. Yet, its gin-laced herbal flavours make it hard to stop sipping on.

Interesting cocktail. The Elixir brings a lot of pepper which makes the drink almost spicy. The gin interplays with the chartreuse and makes it intense yet drinkable. The vermouth is honestly not taking a lot of place and mostly smoothes the other components with a slight acidity. The orange bitters aren't adding much orange, but I think it's working with the vermouth to smooth the gin and Chartreuse so don't leave it out.

Make sure to use chill-filtrated ingredients though... I used Hernö navy gin — whilst delicious it made a louche effect which gave everything a slight sewage water look.

I liked this idea but subbed Cardamaro 25ml for the sweet vermouth, but then added 5ml Cocchi Di Torino back in for the wine element. No bitters, lavender sprig garnish.
