BEHIND THE DRINK
The story & background
The IBA version is an equal-parts recipe: gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and lime. Its appeal comes from the contrast between herbal liqueur, cherry character and citrus rather than from one dominant ingredient.
Measure the citrus and sweetener before mixing. Fresh juice varies in acidity, so start with the recipe and make small adjustments only after tasting the finished drink.
