Bijou
A gem of a cocktail: the Bijou is a fragrant and sweet drink named after three jewels represented by the main ingredients: gin for diamond, vermouth for ruby, and chartreuse for emerald.
Servings: 1 serve
Ingredients
- 30 mL gin

- Maraschino cherry for garnish
- Lemon peel
Instructions
- Add gin, green chartreuse, vermouth and bitters to a mixing glass.
