Yellow Jacket
Ingredients:
2oz Reposado Tequila
1oz St. Germain
.75oz Yellow Chartreuse
1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
Lemon Twist
Instructions:
Add the tequila, St. Germain, yellow Chartreuse and bitters to a chilled mixing glass. Add ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with the lemon twist.
Notes:
Floral honey nose. The elderflower laden St. Germain and herbal honey yellow Chartreuse pair well with reposado tequila. This trio tastes like they were meant to be together, playing together seamlessly with a hint of bitter at the finish.
History:
This great cocktail comes from Employee’s Only in NYC and is featured in their book Speakeasy. I highly recommend this book as it also has a great recipe for a “white” Martinez among many others. Check out New Martinez for more on this.
