I found this cocktail recipe on F&W – it called for yellow Chartreuse, which I did not have so I used green Chartreuse instead. The perfect cocktail for the first day of spring.
Ingredients:
1/4 oz agave nectar
Ice
Combine in a cocktails shaker. Shake. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a cherry.
Serves 1
