Alaska Cocktail
A sophisticated pre-Prohibition classic that offers a herbal twist on the traditional Martini. By substituting dry vermouth with Yellow Chartreuse, this golden-hued cocktail delivers a complex profile featuring notes of honey, saffron, and botanicals, perfectly balanced by the crispness of dry gin and a hint of citrus.
