Alaska
Description
A variation of the classic martini, the Alaska cocktail combines gin with the herbal complexity of Yellow Chartreuse. This Prohibition-era drink remains a sophisticated choice for those who enjoy a strong yet balanced flavour.
It is believed to have been first recorded in Jacques Straubs 1913 book "Drinks," making it an enduring classic among spirit-forward cocktails.
