Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Hawthorne strainer and/ or fine meshed sieve
Ingredients
- 40 ml Plymouth Gin
- 20 ml Green Chartreuse
- 20 ml Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Add a large handful of ice to a cocktail shaker.
- Pour in the gin, Green Chartreuse and lemon juice - use a jigger or digital scales to measure the ingredients in.
- Secure the lid and shake hard for 30-30 seconds until the shaker feels ice cold.
- Strain the drink into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon zest and serve immediately - double straining (using a Hawthorne strainer and a sieve) is ideal.
Notes
- Chill your serving glass to ensure the drink is served ice-cold. Alternatively, place a few ice cubes in it while you make the drink (discard them when ready to serve).
- Measure ingredients accurately: Use a cocktail jigger to get accurate measurements as it is very easy to upset the balance of flavours by mis-measuring ingredients.
- Taste & adjust before serving: If it is too sour add a dash of sugar syrup.
- Double strain: To ensure your cocktail is smooth it's a good idea to double strain it or pass the lemon juice through a fine-meshed sieve prior to adding it to the cocktail shaker.
- Serve it in a small coupe glass, a small cocktail glass or a Nick and Nora glass.
