A classic from 1930's "The Savoy Cocktail Book." Superficially similar to a
sidecar, this one kicks up the exotic flavors by using Chartreuse. See the
note on using green versus yellow varieties of this French liqueur below.
I stumbled across this one while browsing the PDT app on my iPhone, and I
find that the recipes out there mostly follow the same ratios with some
variations for sweetness. The recipe below seems to turn out a cocktail
that is just right for my palette.
2 ounces Cognac
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce Green (or Yellow) Chartreuse
1/4 ounce simple syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters
Place all of the components in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously.
Strain into a coupe. Garnish with lemon, if desired.
Note: Every recipe I looked at recommended Green Chartreuse. The PDT app
says they use green because the prefer the flavor. Craddock's book doesn't
have a recommendation, so it's mostly a matter of taste. If you have both
varieties on hand, try it both ways. The yellow version you may find a
little sweeter and the green version more herb forward.
