28 Feb 2023: The Alaska Cocktail

No one seems certain as to how this cocktail got its name, but that should not stop anyone from giving it a try. Harry Craddock records the Alaska Cocktail’s proportions in his Savoy Cocktail Book 2:1 gin to Yellow Chartreuse. Most modern version of the cocktail add a dash of orange bitters, which I did as well. Shake, serve in a chilled cocktail glass and add a twist of orange. Delightful!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz. gin (I used our current London Dry favorite, Bombay Dry)

• 3/4 Yellow Chartreuse

  Dash Orange Bitters
