It’s time for a chartreuse cocktail! Summer is always a welcome arrival for bartenders with cocktail ingredients like gin and green chartreuse taking the reins. During this time, calls for Manhattans start to slacken, and cocktail menus brighten up, flooded with floral gins and white rum, citrus and sparkling wine, and oodles of fresh herbs and berries perfect in in cocktails for the summer season.
Origins of the Gypsy Eyes, Green Chartreuse Cocktail
Chris McClain found one such cocktail on a visit to famed NYC cocktail bar Death & Co. McClain and his wife ordered the Gypsy Eyes, and it was love at first sip. “The tang of the grapefruit against the pungent herbs of gin and chartreuse create a perfectly balanced cocktail,” he explains. McClain’s version uses Gin Foundry Europa, a London dry gin that counts grapefruit among its ten botanicals.
