Champs Élysées

Today we share with you a classic cocktail from Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book (1930).  Made with a base of Cognac it is similar in makeup to the Sidecar but with the addition of green Chartreuse which adds a lovely herbal accent to the drink.

  • ¾ Ounce of Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • ½ Ounce of Green Chartreuse
