Ingredients
Ingredients
- ¾ ounce gin
- ¾ ounce green chartreuse
- ¾ ounce maraschino liqueur
- ¾ ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 Luxardo cherry (or brandied cherry) for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the gin, green chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes.
- Shake: Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is thoroughly chilled and slightly diluted, achieving a perfect icy cold temperature.
- Strain: Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer into a pre-chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth, clear drink without ice shards.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with a Luxardo cherry, brandied cherry, or a twist of lime peel for an aromatic and elegant finish.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled lime juice will affect the brightness of the drink.
- Chilling the coupe glass beforehand helps maintain the cocktail’s cool temperature longer.
- Luxardo cherries add an authentic, rich flavor compared to standard maraschino cherries.
- This cocktail is traditionally equal parts, making it easy to scale up for multiple servings.
