Chartreuse Army & Navy
A herbal reinterpretation of the Army & Navy that layers almond, citrus, gin, and both Chartreuses into a bright but mysterious sour.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Gin
- 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse
- 0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
- 0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 oz Orgeat
Story
The conversation shifted into speculative territory with the question of how an Army & Navy would taste with Chartreuse. Rather than replacing the structure entirely, the resulting drink layered both Chartreuses into the original almond-and-lemon framework for something brighter, stranger, and more aromatic.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a shaker with cubed ice.
- Shake until well chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
- Keeps the classic Army & Navy structure while introducing a strong herbal backbone.
