Chartreuse Martini

The Chartreuse in this Martini adds a subtle touch of herbs that brightens up the palate. It ends up being a light, transparent green and a nice switch from a Martini. You can make it dirty if you want, but I prefer to add the essence of olives by garnishing with three olives instead, olive brine tends to battle the herbs of the Chartreuse.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 oz Chartreuse Green
• 1 oz gin
• 1/2 oz dry vermouth

Preparation:

1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake well.
