From the Bartender

Created by Marcovaldo Dionysos at Absinthe Brasserie in San Francisco around 2003, this drink is widely credited with bringing Green Chartreuse into the modern cocktail renaissance. Swizzling rather than shaking is essential - it aerates and chills simultaneously while keeping the drink's vivid green colour intact.
