From the Bartender

A mid-century American classic that survives largely because bartenders needed something to do with the yellow Chartreuse bottle. Gentler and sweeter than its green-Chartreuse cousins like the Last Word or the Final Ward.

Maiden's Prayer
London Dry Gin

Maiden's Prayer

Double-citrus and unapologetic about it — orange sweetness carried by the liqueur, lemon keeping it dry, botanicals surfacing late.

Army & Navy
London Dry Gin

Army & Navy

Marzipan sweetness draped over juniper, lemon keeping it upright, and a faint baking-spice bitterness from the Angostura on the finish.

Fine and Dandy
London Dry Gin

Fine and Dandy

Bright orange-peel sweetness over a firm juniper spine, lemon doing the cutting, and a whisper of clove and bark from the single dash of bitters.

Corpse Reviver No. 2
Gin

Corpse Reviver No. 2

Bright and citrusy with a silky floral backbone from the Lillet, balanced by the herbal warmth of gin and a seductive whisper of anise from the absinthe rinse. Bracingly refreshing with a clean, dry finish.
