Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Navy-strength gin
  • 0.5 oz Vodka
  • 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse

Story

The final riff in the Chartreuse Vesper sequence shifted presentation and texture rather than ingredients alone. Instead of serving up, the cocktail moved onto a large clear cube and incorporated cold smoke for a glacial, dramatic presentation.

Method

  1. Cold-smoke a double rocks glass with pine wood or rosemary.
  2. Add all liquid ingredients to a mixing glass with cubed ice.
  3. Stir until intensely cold.
  4. Place a large clear cube in the smoked glass.
  5. Strain the cocktail over the cube.

Notes

  • Pine or rosemary smoke are both effective; pick whichever you can source cleanly.
