Alaska Cocktail


Day 19

I picked out an 'Alaska Cocktail'  (page 28 in our 1985 bartender's guide)

Olga's sister and husband just took a cruise to Alaska - I wonder if they tried one of these? --nah.

Recipe:

2 dashes orange bitters
1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz yellow Chartreuse

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass (I shook gently, instead).

The taste of Chartreuse was reminiscent of  Suze that I tried in France years ago.

Encore pour la bonne route!
