Whew! It was a stressful week, I am ready for the weekend! Let the eating begin....
Friday night means cocktail night. Last night's performance was Bijou.
11/2 oz gin
3/4 oz Chartreuse
1 oz sweet vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
garnish with orange peel
You know how I always complain the wash line is too low on cocktails? Well, someone came up with a solution, make it a double! Brilliant. Which is exactly what I did here. 
Let's just say Bijous should not be filled to the top of the glass, unless you're ready for a nap. It's strong and spirit-forward but I really enjoyed it. Went down smooth as silk. I'm loving sweet vermouth much more than I thought I would.
