A refreshing and herbaceous gin cocktail featuring green chartreuse, homemade juniper simple syrup, lemon juice, and bitters for a balanced, complex drink with citrus brightness and botanical depth.

Ingredients

  • Juniper Simple Syrup:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp juniper berries
  • The Green Man Cocktail:
  • 1½ oz gin
  • ½ oz green chartreuse
  • 1 oz juniper simple syrup
  • ½ oz lemon juice
  • 5–6 drops orange & juniper bitters

Instructions

  1. Make the syrup: Combine sugar, water, and juniper berries in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool, then strain and store.
  2. Fill a shaker with ice and add gin, green chartreuse, juniper simple syrup, lemon juice, and bitters.
  3. Shake vigorously until chilled.
  4. Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
  5. Garnish with a lemon twist or juniper sprig.

Notes

  • Swap lemon juice for lime juice for a sharper citrus twist.
  • Top with soda water for a sparkling version.
  • Infuse simple syrup with lavender for floral notes.
  • Use dried juniper berries if fresh aren’t available.
  • Batch ahead by mixing gin, chartreuse, and syrup; add lemon and bitters just before serving.
