Green Swizzle

Description

Originally the Chartreuse Swizzle now often referred to as the Green Swizzle since… Well, no one can get Green Chartreuse these days. We recommend Harloon Genepe or Cloosterbitter instead. It makes a refreshing, herbal summer drink.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 parts Green Chartreuse
  • 1 part Pineapple Juice
  • 0.75 parts Lime Juice
  • 0.5 parts Velvet Falernum
  • 0.5 parts Grapefruit Juice
  • 2–3 dashes Angostura Bitters (float) · garnish
  • As needed Mint Sprig · garnish
  • As needed Grated Nutmeg · garnish

Directions

Shaken

Shake the mixing ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker.

Additional steps & variations

Shake only Chartreuse, pineapple juice, lime juice, velvet falernum and grapefruit juice. Shake and strain into highball glass. In a small shot cup shake 2-3 dashes of angostura bitters, then slowly pour these bitters over the backside of a bar spoon placed over your drink to create a “Float” meaning the dark angostura bitters sit on top of the green drink below. Finally, add a sprig of mint, and grated nutmeg on top. It's a lot of garnish work, but it adds to the aromatic, taste and visual sensation of the drink.
