I requested this thread, but was on vacation in Paris so forgot to follow. I was able to get some Chartreuse, but even the bottle shops in Paris were saying Chartreuse was getting harder to find in France these days. With that said, here’s a recipe I made.
The Centenary:
2 oz Gin
1 oz Yellow Chartreuse
.5 oz Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino
2 dashes citrus bitters of your choice
Stirred, strained, served in a Coup or Nick and Nora. This is kind of a play on a Bijou.
The above was made by me misreading/misremembering the ingredients for a cocktail from a New Orleans restaurant called La Petite Grocery. Their cocktail was a white negroni riff called the “100 Year Cocktail.” I mixed up their Cocchi American with Cocchi Vermouth. So when trying to make their cocktail I think it is something like:
1.5 oz gin
.75 oz Yellow Chartreuse
.75 oz Cocchi Americano
For substitution of chartruse during the shortage consider:
Faccio Brutto Centerbe. It is green, but taste is closer to yellow chartreuse.
Dolin Genepy is a decent sub for green.
Strega. Yellow in color, but maybe a bit more herbal.
