Ingredients

  • 1 oz Gin
  • 0.75 oz Blanc vermouth
  • 0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
  • 0.75 oz Lemon juice
  • 0.25 oz Honey syrup
  • 1 Egg white — Optional

Story

As the conversation evolved from spirit-forward blanc-vermouth drinks into broader Yellow Chartreuse territory, this sour-style variation emerged as the richer, softer option. The addition of honey and lemon shifted the profile from alpine martini to plush herbal sour while keeping blanc vermouth in the foreground.

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker.
  2. Dry shake if using egg white.
  3. Add ice and shake again until chilled.
  4. Double strain into a chilled coupe.
