ALASKA COCKTAIL Recipe

Top Chartreuse Cocktails Best Chartreuse Drinks Best Men's Cocktails Epic Women's Drinks How to make the Alaska Cocktail STORY The Alaska cocktail is first mentioned in Jacques Straub's 1914 book "Drinks". At the time, this described a drink made from Old Tom Gin, Yellow Chartreuse and Orange Bitters. An Alaska cocktail is a twist on a classic martini cocktail. That's why it's often colloquially referred to as the "Alaska Martini". Like many cocktails of its time, the Alaska Martini is now almost a “forgotten” classic, but it is slowly creeping back into people's consciousness. INGREDIENTS 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. Gin (Old Tom) 15 ml/ ½ oz. Yellow Chartreuse 1 dash of Orange bitters METHOD 1. Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes. 2. Stil well until well-chilled. 3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. 4. Garnish with a lemon peel. NOTES Green Chartreuse (55% alcohol) is the original 1737 green liqueur, made from the 1605 recipe by Chartreuse Monks even today. The colour chartreuse is named after this liqueur. Yellow Chartreuse (40% alcohol) was introduced in the 1800’s and is a milder, sweeter flavour and aroma than it’s older brother.
