Chartreuse Green Vep Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.

2. 2

   Muddle the Mint

   In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the leaves to release their essential oils. Do this carefully to avoid tearing the leaves too much.

3. 3

   Add Ingredients

   To the muddled mint in the shaker, add the Chartreuse Green Liqueur, gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

4. 4

   Shake the Cocktail

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

5. 5

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice from the highball glass and strain the cocktail mixture into it, using a fine mesh strainer if desired to catch any mint bits.

6. 6

   Top with Club Soda

   Gently pour the club soda over the cocktail to top it off. This will add a refreshing fizz.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
