Ingredients

  • 3/4 ounce gin
  • 3/4 ounce Maraschino liqueur
  • 3/4 ounce Green Chartreuse
  • 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1 Brandied cherry garnish

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients into a Boston shaker with plenty of ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
  • Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.

Notes

Chill your glasses ahead of time in the freezer to keep your drinks cooler for longer. This is one of my favorite tricks in the summer.
This cocktail is best served in a small coupe glass. It makes for a fantastic presentation given the drink's history and age.
Always double-strain shaken cocktails through a fine mesh strainer. This removes tiny ice chips that will dilute the cocktail as it warms.
