History

Adapted from a recipe created by Fred Charlet at La Cabane, Strasbourg, France. Fred says, "With this cocktail, I wanted to remember playing in grandpa's garden hut as a child while my family was sat in the garden enjoying an aperitif. This cocktail is an anthem to our childhood."

Review

This bittersweet aperitif-style drink's light green hue and garnish befits its name and uses the tried and tested combo of gentian, gin and lemon juice.

Very nice, the gentian comes through clearly and the Chartreuse adds some nice background complexity. I am thinking of trying it with some thyme liqueur to contribute to the colour and theme of the drink.

I liked this as per the recipe given, but just got a bottle of Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal so thought I add some; 3-4 drops really elevated the cocktail and would highly recommend trying!
