Monk’s Respite

Part 2 of a weekend tiki Smuggler’s Cove double shot that is more of a refreshing, herbal cooler with tropical accents
The botanical notes in the gin are echoed by the herbal sweetness of the Yellow Chartreuse and honey syrup while the coconut water takes things in a more tropical direction with some lemony citrus and soda water to lighten things
1.5 oz Gin
.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
.25 oz Honey Syrup (2 parts honey: 1 part warm water)
.25 oz Yellow Chartreuse (lower ABV, sweeter herbal liqueur than it’s more famous sibling Green Chartreuse)
3 oz Coconut Water
1 dash Orange Bitters (Regan’s, Fee Bros, Angostura or a preferred mix of any of the above)
Shake with ice and strain into a footed pilsner with a few ice cubes (or a hollowed out coconut if present). Top with 1 oz of Club Soda. No garnish. #weekendtiki
