Bijou

A sophisticated pre-Prohibition classic named after the French word for 'jewel.' This cocktail is famous for the visual representation of its three main ingredients, said to represent diamonds (gin), rubies (sweet vermouth), and emeralds (Green Chartreuse). It delivers a complex, herbal, and full-bodied flavor profile perfect for lovers of strong, stirred drinks.
