White and Yellow
A soft, floral gin-and-blanc-vermouth cocktail lifted by Yellow Chartreuse and citrus bitters in a lighter riff on a Bijou.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Gin
- 0.75 oz Blanc vermouth
- 0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
- 1 dash Orange bitters — Peychaud's bitters also work
Story
After you asked for interesting cocktails using blanc vermouth, we narrowed the focus toward Yellow Chartreuse or mezcal. This was the first Yellow Chartreuse-forward drink that emerged from that pivot: a lighter, floral riff on a Bijou that kept blanc vermouth central instead of treating it as background support.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with cubed ice.
- Stir until thoroughly chilled and lightly diluted.
- Strain into a chilled coupe.
- Express a lemon twist over the surface and garnish.
Notes
-
- Orange bitters and Peychaud’s were both suggested during development; orange bitters used as default here.
