Notes

I've seen this variation in a few different places and am not sure where it originates. Most likely several people came up with it independently,as it's a Bijou with two simple substitutions (or a Bijou en route to Alaska, if you prefer).

  • Agreed. Clean is a good adjective here. A touch sweet perhaps.
  • Clean and tasty. I used Holi Gin - which is made with chai spices to give this a bit extra herbal flavor.
