Tailspin Cocktail

 Today was a cool day in Louisiana, high 40's this morning getting up to the low 70's in the afternoon at best; not my kind of weather. Other than that (no rain!) it was a decent day.

Tonight I fixed a 'Tailspin Cocktail' a gin-based cocktail that was very good.

The recipe (page no. 168 in the Bartender's Guide):

3/4 oz. Gin (Booth's)
3/4 oz. Sweet Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
3/4 oz. Chartreuse (green)
1 dash Orange Bitters

 Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Add a twist of lemon peel and a cherry or olive.

We have found that drinks with sweet vermouth and Chartreuse seem to come out very tasty!
