Hints

  1. A whip shake refers to shaking with a single big cube of ice, or with a small amount of crushed or pebble ice. The technique looks to bring aeration while limiting the dilution as much as possible.

  2. Green Chartreuse has a very particular flavor, so we’d be hard pressed to offer a substitution for it. While we haven’t tried it ourselves, Truffles on the Rocks has a video on a DIY version: Homemade Exotic Chartreuse Recipe - DIY Green herbal liqueur

  3. The use of a mint sprig here further pushes the herbaceous nature of this drink, make sure you add a proper mint bouquet and that you express the oils by slapping it prior to adding it as a garnish.
