Chizzlemere Icebreaker

Chizzlemere Icebreaker

  • 2.0 oz. London Dry gin
  • 0.5 oz. Yellow Chartreuse
  • 0.25 oz. lemon juice
  • 3.0 oz. tonic water

Shake first three ingredients with ice, then strain over glass with ice (highball with cubes is fine). Top with 3 ounces of tonic, the a star anise for garnish.

This is the last of my Gentleman’s Guide cocktails, named for the resort town with the ice skating where the D’Ysquith junior fell through to his untimely death. Simple in ingredients, being a G&T enhanced with Chartreuse and lemon. Nice and cold. Just watch the ice.
