St-Germain, Fernet, Chartreuse; oh my.
Still thinking about St-Germain this week, with impeccable timing I got a text from Steve Shur, bartender extraordinaire at the Boston College Club, with a new cocktail. Well, kind of new meets old, and he’s used many of my favorite ingredients. Unlikely and strange as they sound together, instead of being a random jumble of flavors, the combination works, the sign of a great bartender. Sweet, sour, bitter, refreshing- a take on the Last Word cocktail, this week it’s Steve’s shift drink, and mine too, for Shur.
.75 oz St-Germain, .75 oz Fernet Branca, .75 oz Green Chartreuse, .75 oz fresh lime juice. Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a pre-chilled rocks “down” glass.My Word is Gold
