Bijou (by Jamie Gordon)
This bittersweet digestivo is one of those drinks that becomes easier and gets better as dilution, from the melting ice, opens and softens

My brother delievered a couple of bottles (green and yellow) Chartreuse yesterday, and since I've never had a Bijou before it's my birthday today I thought to myself "If not me, who? If not now, when?" Now, I obviously didn't exactly what to expect, but O-M-to the G. The result was something along the likes of a bitter, butterscotchy kind of a cocktail. Absolutely delicious. Maybe because I used an Old Tom gin (Hernö) and yellow Chartreuse..? Anyways, the result was absolutely amazing.

...how has it taken me this long to try this? I love a negroni, I adore a boulevardier, and this tops both of them.

(for reference: I used Tanqueray and Punt e Mes and did not have any feeling of too bitter)

I only had yellow Chartreuse, but this drink was still good!

Love the melt down. Very nice after dinner cocktail.

Love most with Green Chartreuse, and this is right on the mark. Great digestive with the added zing of the Green Chartreuse.

Fabulous cocktail, exemplary of the complexity that green chartreuse can add.

The green chartreuse takes this Negroni style drink to new dimensions. Herbal qualities and light Campari bitter are distinct are heightened with the gin.

Reminiscent of a Negroni, but much more balanced. Green Chartreuse is always a winner.
