Glassware Stir and measure

From the Bartender

An American classic from the early 1900s, usually printed with a bar spoon of green crème de menthe alongside the Chartreuse. Dropping the crème de menthe removes the sweetness and the novelty-green colour and leaves a genuinely good aperitif.

Cocktails like this one

Irish Whiskey

Tipperary

Rich and spirit-forward, with waves of herbal complexity from the Chartreuse, mellow malt warmth from the Irish whiskey, and a velvety sweetness from the vermouth. A sophisticated, aromatic sipper with a long, bittersweet finish.

Gin

Martini

Crisp and spirit-forward with botanical juniper notes from the gin, softened by the herbal, subtly bitter embrace of dry vermouth. The finish is clean and bone-dry, with either a briny olive whisper or a bright citrus lift depending on your garnish.

Irish Whiskey

Emerald

Green apple and light grain where a rye Manhattan would give you pepper, the vermouth's bitterness much more exposed with no spice to hide behind.

Gin

Bijou

A jewel-toned marvel that mingles botanical gin with honeyed sweet vermouth and the intensely complex herbal power of green Chartreuse, building layers of sweet spice, alpine herbs, and citrus. The finish is long, warming, and spirit-forward, with lingering notes of anise, honey, and a whisper of orange bitters adding aromatic brilliance.
