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