Cocktail Description
A splash of golden Chartreuse transforms the classic Vodka-Gin Martini into a garden of aromatic complexity with subtle herbal sweetness.
The Fandango delivers a sophisticated balance of botanical gin, clean vodka, and the distinctive honey-herb character of yellow Chartreuse. This golden-hued cocktail begins with a gentle mint fragrance that gives way to a silky, medium-dry sip with notes of saffron, citrus peel, and anise lingering elegantly on the finish. Perfect for spring and summer evenings or as an aperitif before a special dinner, it's an impressive yet approachable cocktail that feels both classic and contemporary. Surprisingly simple to prepare despite its complex flavor profile, even novice home bartenders can master this stirred drink with basic techniques. The herbal qualities make it an excellent companion to Mediterranean dishes featuring fresh herbs, grilled fish with lemon, or creamy goat cheese appetizers.
