Named for the French mining engineer who first proposed building a tunnel beneath the English channel connecting France and England. Sounds a little sweet as written—maybe up the gin and add a dash of gentian liqueur?

I dialed back the chartreuse to 1/2 ounce and expressed the orange peel over the drink. Sweet but not cloying; fresh pleasant taste. If you like a drier cocktail, do follow others’ advice for a little more gin and/or gentian liqueur.

The drink was created in 2008 not 2009, for the bartender exchange between Eastern Standard and PDT occurred in September 2008. Kevin served this at PDT (whatever else was on his menu didn't seem to get recorded in the PDT Cocktail Book nor did he share it back in Boston), and we got Daniel Eun at Eastern Standard. Daniel's menu included the Dewey D, a variation on the Number 8, and the Mariner for his 3 night stint in Boston (there was more but we didn't record what we didn't sample as we were caught up in the moment).
