Bijou Cocktails
Today we share on our blog Federico's original recipe for making the Bijou cocktail.
The Bijou is a cocktail created in the late 1900s by Harry Jhonson, one of the founding fathers of modern mixology.
Harry decided to call it Bijou (from the French “jewel”) for the color tones of the products used to make the cocktail, white, red and green like the three most precious jewels: gin for the diamond, vermouth for the ruby and chartreuse for the emerald.
Here is the recipe for the version of the Bijou Cocktail created by Cremasco Federico.
Ingredients and doses Cocktail Bijou:
¾ oz VERMOUTH25 SAGRESTAN
¾ oz GIN43
¾ oz Green Chartreuse
How to make the Bijou cocktail
The cocktail is simple to prepare: mix the ingredients with ice to combine Gin, Vermouth and Chartreuse and pour into a Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with bitter orange and a cherry.
