Diamonds Are Forever

2 oz Gin, Beefeater
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Grapefruit
Instructions

Stir over ice, strain into coupe, no garnish.

Notes

2 dashes of bitters makes it a little more spicy, can dial back to 1 if desired.

History

I had an open bottle of Cocchi Americano and wanted to make something fun with it. I started by swapping out the specs for a Dale Degroff Bijou (green chartreuse for yellow, red vermouth for Cocchi) and thereafter upped the quantity of gin + Cocchi to give a bit more balance.
