ナイルの宝石はジンとグリーンとイエローのシャルトリューズを等量組み合わせたスティードなスピリッツフォワードカクテルで、カクテルの正典の中で最もハーバルでボタニカルに複雑な飲み物のひとつを作り出します。2つのシャルトリューズの表現——一方は燃えるようにハーバルで、もう一方は蜂蜜のように甘くマイルド——がお互いを補完しながらジンがそれらをまとめます。強い芳香の高いABVのシッピングカクテルです。

History & Origins

The Jewel of the Nile is a mid-20th century American cocktail that exploits the unique properties of Chartreuse, the French herbal liqueur produced by Carthusian monks since 1737 using 130 secret plant ingredients. Using both expressions simultaneously was a device to balance the Green Chartreuse's intensity with the Yellow's gentleness. Its exact origin is disputed, but it appears in several classic American cocktail books.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: An extraordinary herbal complexity — mint, tarragon, angelica, and saffron from the Chartreuse expressions, with gin's juniper and citrus beneath. Palate: Bold and intensely herbal, the Green Chartreuse's heat and complexity is softened by the Yellow's honey sweetness, while gin provides a botanical framework. Finish: Extremely long and warming, with herbs, honey, and juniper lingering for minutes.

Pro Tip

Stir well over ice and strain cold — this drink rewards contemplation; sip slowly to appreciate the extraordinary herbal complexity of the two Chartreuse expressions.
