When it came to green chartreuse, I absolutely hated it when I first started working at Günter Hans. The flavors were all wrong and unfamiliar to my whiskey and beer-loving self. If I were to drink a cocktail, it would have only been an old-fashioned or a whiskey sour.

Then, one of the other bartenders, Misa, who taught me everything I know, made a whiskey sour that had 0.25 ounces of green chartreuse added in. That one drink opened the door to what green chartreuse could be to me.

But its sweet, spicy and incredibly smooth flavor profile should not be hidden behind whiskey. The Green Chartreuse Sour puts it on the first- place podium it deserves.
