Bijou
The Bijou is a classic cocktail that beautifully balances the herbal notes of gin with the rich sweetness of green Chartreuse and the bittersweet depth of sweet vermouth. Its name, meaning "jewel" in French, reflects the vibrant green hue of the drink, often garnished with a twist of lemon or an orange peel to enhance its aromatic profile. This elegant concoction offers a sophisticated taste experience that has captivated cocktail enthusiasts since the late 19th century.
