Green Dragon Cocktail
The Green Dragon cocktail’s got substantial bite, and you gotta love its mystical green glow.
2 measures vodka
1 measure green Chartreuse
Yep that’s it! Shake with ice and strain before serving.
The special thing about the Green Dragon is the Chartreuse. Consisting of an aromatic grape brandy base flavored with over 130 herbs and plants, it happens to be made by a silent order of Monks near Grenoble, France. Chartreuse is typically aged in casks for up to 5 years and comes in both a yellow and green variety, the green being quite intense compared to its sweeter sibling.
