Bijou Cocktail
The Bijou cocktail, which means 'jewel' in French, is a timeless gin-based drink that dazzles with its vibrant flavors and elegant presentation. This delightful concoction, combining gin, sweet vermouth, and green chartreuse, was first created in the late 1800s and has been beloved by cocktail enthusiasts ever since. The herbal notes of the chartreuse complement the botanicals in the gin, while the sweetness of the vermouth rounds out the drink, making each sip a sophisticated experience. Perfect for a classy evening or a celebratory toast, the Bijou is a true classic that never goes out of style.
