How to make:

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

Garnish:

Dust with grated nutmeg

Comment:

Easy-drinking but complex with a herbal edge.

Origin:

Created by yours truly (Simon Difford) and named after the Greek for 'elixir of life, the food of the Gods.' However, in Britain, Ambrosia is a brand of custard, so advocaat seemed appropriate. And if there is a God, he/she/it surely drinks Chartreuse.
