This classic cocktail is called the Bijou. Bijou is the French for jewel and each part of this drink represents a different jewel; the gin for diamonds, the sweet vermouth for rubies, and the green Chartreuse for emeralds. This is a true classic that sparkles.The original recipe calls for equal parts gin, vermouth, and Chartreuse which is not our preference. But since the early 1900s, it's been modernized a bit.

- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- 3/4 oz. green Chartreuse
