| 2 1⁄4 | oz | Gin |
| 3⁄4 | oz | Yellow Chartreuse |
Instructions
Stir, strain, straight up, cocktail glass.
Notes
The ratios suggest for this cocktail vary from 2:1 to 8:1. I've selected a relatively dry 6:1. Serve very cold to avoid excess sweetness. Alternatively, use more Chartreuse and balance with lemon, dry sherry, or top with dry sparkling wine.
From other users
- Make with another recipe calling for 1 oz of chartreuse, which required lemon to balance it. Next time try this recipe with 3/8 oz lemon juice.
- Used Haymans OT & a splash of Ransoms, to the amt of 2.25 gin, .75 Chartreuse, & 2 big dashes orange bitters...
- Made with Haymans, Strega, and Regan’s. Good Strega feature.
- Class:drink like a monk
- Made with 1.5 Sin Liquor's Hedgetrimmer gin and .75 chartreuse
- An excellent cocktail. Simple but solid.
- Maintained 6:1 with Vitae Gin
- A bit sweet

Curated this - in the Savoy (cited at the link), it's a 3/4 gin, 1/4 Yellow Chartreuse drink with no bitters. Variations abound.... Thanks, Zachary
