Trying Other Green Chartreuse Cocktails: Tailspin and Espiritu de Caracas
The Tailspin was boozy. I feel like the vermouth really takes over and not only do you lose the gin but any of the enjoyment out of the drink. I think next time I’ll half the vermouth.
The Espiritu de Caracas is pretty fantastic.
Recipes:
Tailspin
Campari rinse
1.5oz Gin
1oz sweet vermouth
1oz Green Chartreuse
.5oz Maraschino Liqueur
1 dash orange bitters
Lemon twist (I only had a lime)
Rinse glass with Campari and stir remaining ingredients over ice. Strain into coupe and serve with lemon twist.
