Equal parts gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and lime juice. Invented at the Detroit Athletic Club during Prohibition. Rediscovered by Murray Stenson at the Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle in 2004. The green Chartreuse is made by Carthusian monks from 130 botanicals. Perfect balance through equal proportions.
