17 Oct 2022: Alaska Cocktail

The Alaska Cocktail recently crossed my radar as I was looking for a cocktail that would use Yellow Chartreuse. White Negroni’s can’t be the only drink using this delicious liqueur from France and, as it turned out, it was not.

Just 3 ingredients and a quick stir, and this beauty hits the glass. While some of the resources I checked call for Old Tom Gin, I prefer the junipery flavor of a London Dry.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 oz. gin (Used Bombay London Dry)

• 1/2 oz. Yellow Chartreuse (accept no substitutes)

• Dash of Orange bitters

Put all of the ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir for about 30 seconds until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled favorite cocktail glass and garnish with lemon peel.
