Smokescreen

Scotch can be so fantastic in cocktails, and this drink by Alex Day is such a good example of that. What we like extra much here is the tiny addition of Green Chartreuse and of course the fresh mint. Very refreshing indeed.⁠ Smokescreen Recipe by Alex Day Ingredients: 4 mint leaves⁠ 0,75 oz simple syrup⁠ 1 oz scotch⁠ 0,5 oz really smoky scotch (like Laphroaig)⁠ 0,25 oz Green Chartreuse⁠ 0,75 oz fresh lime juice⁠ Mixing: Muddle the mint with the simple syrup.

Transcendence

When Matthias [https://www.instagram.com/servedbysoberon/] posted this drink some time ago we just immediately felt the urge to re-shake it. We love that the cocktail contains both mezcal as well as an amaro and on top of that our all time favourite green bottle - Chartreuse.⁠ ⁠ And as always when Matthias is behind the specs, the drink tastes phenomenal! Cheers and enjoy your Sunday!⁠ Transcendence Recipe by Matthias Soberon Ingredients: 1,5 oz mezcal⁠ 0,5 oz amaro Nonino⁠ 0,75 oz lime juice⁠

THAT’LL TAKE THE EDGE OFF

⁠ A drink to drink by the fire place. This one is boozy, and it's a play on the much appreciated classic Sazerac cocktail.⁠ ⁠ We're using Naked Grouse scotch, which works fantastic in high ABV-drinks like this one, where the whisky is in focus. The absinth rinse is brilliant, just a tiny amount goes a very long way and you might actually wanna use less than the suggested 0,25 oz if your'e not used to absinth.⁠ That'll take the edge off Recipe from “Be your own Bartender”⁠ Ingredients: 2 oz sco

The Witches

We thought the mix of green Chartreuse and akvavit was interesting. And it worked out really well. The slightly bitter akvavit paired with the sweet and herbal Chartreuse was perfect, and the sherry balances everything nicely and also helps taking down the alcohol by volume a bit.⁠ The Witches Recipe by Chantal Tseng Ingredients: 1,25 oz akvavit⁠ 1 oz manzanilla sherry⁠ 0,5 oz green Chartreuse Mixing: Stir all ingredients with fresh ice and strain into a coupe.

Franco-Italian Swizzle

Green Chartreuse is something we've always enjoyed, more than often in a Last Word cocktail. But as proven in this recipe Chartreuse is also a great ingredient in highballs. And even if there's just half an ounce in this mix, you can immediately tell it's there. The colour gives it a way, and the iconic and much recognisable taste as well of course.⁠ ⁠ And swizzles are fun. After adding all that crushed ice give the hole thing a good swizzle. It blends everything together, makes the ice do some

Post Shift

This is a really elegant cocktail featuring two of our favourite liqueurs, Maraschino and green Chartreuse. Both of them blend smoothly with the equally elegant Cognac and it creates a rather high ABV drink, that you'd want to sip slowly.⁠ ⁠ The golden glowing colour is so vibrant, and we think it signals autumn in the best of ways. Cheers!⁠ Post Shift Recipe by Ryan Thacker Ingredients: 1,5 oz Cognac⁠ 0,5 oz green Chartreuse⁠ 0,5 oz Maraschino liqueur⁠ 0,5 oz sweet vermouth⁠ 1 barspoon demera

Comanche Club

Described as a 4 parts Negroni and 3 parts The Last Word cocktail we could do nothing but to capitulate and instantly shake up this drink. It basically mixes our two all time favorite cocktails into one.⁣ ⁣ What's interesting is how the rather small amount of green Chartreuse shines through and still somehow defines the drink - it even manages to mellow the Campari quite a bit. ⁣ ⁣ The Carpano Antica Formula is definitely our go to bottle when recipes call for sweet vermouth. It's of high qual
