Ingredients
- 30 ml Gin
- 30 ml Green Chartreuse
- 30 ml Sweet vermouth e.g. Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torino
- 1 dash Orange bitters
- Garnish Cherry, lemon peel
Preparation
- Stir all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a Nick & Nora glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with cherry, lemon peel. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
Origin Story
The Bijou cocktail dates back to the late 19th century, with its name meaning 'jewel' in French. It combines gin, green Chartreuse, and sweet vermouth, reflecting the opulence of the era.
