After a nice long 15 hours at the winery I had a serious hankering for a good cocktail. With my favorite 'tails in town being too far off the route home, I headed straight to my apartment for a little mixology experiment.
Chartreuse is the most magical and mysterious liquor---it's gorgeous,
tastes incredible on it's own, and can add complexity to just about any
drink with nary a dash. I knew that was going into my shaker, so I made my own take on the Alaska; I call it The Duchess:
3 parts Small's Gin (or any bold flavored gin)
1/2 parts Chartreuse
dash of Angostura Bitters
Shake with ice, serve straight up garnished with a twist of lemon peel. Totally hits the spot.
