Ingredients

  • 1 oz Green Chartreuse
  • 0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
  • 0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz Orgeat
  • 0.25 oz Falernum — Optional
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters

Story

After asking for a bolder twist on the Chartreuse Army & Navy, the conversation moved fully into swizzle territory. Falernum, crushed ice, and bitters transformed the original sour into something more tropical, colder, and much more chaotic in the best way.

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a Collins glass or tiki mug.
  2. Fill halfway with crushed ice.
  3. Swizzle until the outside of the glass frosts.
  4. Add additional crushed ice to mound above the rim.
  5. Garnish with a mint bouquet and lemon wheel.

Notes

  • Falernum adds spice and depth but can be omitted for a cleaner herbal profile.
