Squid Mixes: Golden Dragon


A golden dragon combines brandy and yellow Chartreuse with a lemon twist for garnish.  I got my recipe from The New York Bartender's Guide.  The brandy brings out an anise flavor in the ever-surprising Chartreuse.

The drink is intensely yellow.  Actually, it's the Chartreuse that is.  I wish the green Chartreuse held its color so well but alas no.

    1. Brandy - it all depends on whether or not you like your drinks sweet. If so, it's worth trying. If not, skip it.
