Adapted from the insert in the VÉGÉTAL de la Grande-Chartreuse tube.

4 oz. Overproof gin (The Botanist Distiller’s Strength 50% abv)

3/4 oz. Dry vermouth

5 dashes VÉGÉTAL de la Grande-Chartreuse

2 drops 4:1 Saline sol’n.

Stir all ingredients with plenty of ice until frost forms on outside of mixing glass. Strain into a pre-chilled Martini glass. Garnish with 3 Tipsy Onions.

I don’t usually use that much dry vermouth in my Gibson, but I wanted to stay somewhat close to the intent of the OG recipe. The VdlG-C adds a really intriguing twist of minty ginger root and anise that plays surprisingly well with the sweetish onion. The saline helps the vermouth express itself in a good way.
