Who knew the ABC website let you just search avaibility! Do you guys think a better gin should be used than Bombay?
Anyways:
An ounce each of gin, chartreuse, Luxardo cherry liqueur, and lime juice. Garnished with a store bought cherry.
I’m not really a sour or citrus juice guy (can hurt my gums) but this drink is very good. Very refreshing. Fruity and herbal. Will be trying the Naked and Famous as well as a chartreuse Manhattan soon.
Chartreuse has such a lovely flavor. I like it in home fermented ginger beer. Have tried adding vodka, tequila, and gin (I don’t remember which) to booze it up and each of them work. I DO like citrus so added a squeeze but sure it would work fine without. Personally think store bought soda would make it too sweet but if you like Negroni you like sweeter-stronger stuff than I do. Try your Bombay, the Chartreuse, ginger beer, 1-1-2.
Also (not kidding) try it with Coca Cola. Not quite like a highball, maybe 3/1 coke to Chartreuse. Interesting in a good way. It didn’t work with diet coke, but nothing really does.
I guess I like the Chartreuse in fizzy things, because it also is good in a spritz.
A lot of ideas to consider here.
I had heard Fernet and coke was good (which still sounds almost unbelievable) but I think chartreuse in anything bubbly sounds promising.
