Stir in mixing glass with ice and strain
Bijou is a rare and intensely flavored cocktail that brings together equal parts gin, Green Chartreuse, and sweet vermouth, with a dash of orange bitters — a combination that creates one of the most complex and herbaceous drinks in the classic cocktail canon. At 28.49% ABV, it is a powerful and demanding cocktail with the herbal firepower of Chartreuse at its center. The name means 'jewel' in French, a reference to the three gem-like ingredients.
History & Origins
The Bijou was created in the late 19th century by Harry Johnson, and appears in his 1900 Bartenders' Manual. The cocktail's three main ingredients — gin, Green Chartreuse, and sweet vermouth — were said to represent the three precious stones: diamond (gin), emerald (Chartreuse), and ruby (vermouth). It is one of the great forgotten classics that has been rediscovered by the modern cocktail revival.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Intensely herbal and complex; the 130-herb character of Green Chartreuse dominates, layered with the botanicals of gin and the sweet wine-fruit notes of vermouth and orange bitters. Palate: A dense, complex, and powerful spirit-forward cocktail; the Chartreuse provides herbal-sweetness, the gin botanical sharpness, and the vermouth a binding fruit-wine richness. Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, with lingering herbal complexity.
Pro Tip
Use a room-temperature mixing glass and large, slow-melting ice to stir this high-proof cocktail to perfect dilution without watering down its powerful flavors.
