A bracing mix of gin and Chartreuse, this drink is a great choice for winter.
Bartenders all over the country use the Alaska cocktail to warm their customers when it gets cold. It is a classic martini made from Old Tom gin mixed with yellow Chartreuse.
This drink's unique golden colour is a reference of the Alaska Gold Rush. The drink's name is also a nod to the wild beauty of Alaska, which evokes images of glacier-covered peaks and wild flowers and pine trees.
This drink can be made in many ways, but most people use London Dry Gins like Bombay Sapphire or Beefeater. Jim Kearns, the owner of Slowly Shirley in Greenwich Village, says he prefers to use Old Tom gin for its "softer harmony and complexity."
This dark sour will be used to make this warming drink. The addition of a touch of butter will add another layer of warmth to the drink as mountaineers on expedition often use it to help their bodies' metabolisms burn more calories at night.
Heat is an important part of cabin comfort. Also, it is crucial to keep passengers warm. This is especially true when traveling on Alaska Airlines, which has partnered with Portland-based Straightaway Cocktails to bring two of their best-selling cocktails to the air.
Alaskan travelers who travel more than 350 miles on Alaska can now buy a new 100-milliliter Straightaway's Oregon Old Fashioned and Margarita cans in the air. The cost is $12 for passengers in the main cabin and free for those in first class.
This drink is great for people who don't like strong gin but still want a gin-based cocktail. This drink has a refreshing, fruity, but not too sweet flavor due to the Old Tom Gin's sweetness and the herbaceous Chartreuse.
For an even more complex drink, try making it with a dry gin like Junipero or Death's Door. Chartreuse is a great pairing for both gins.
This Alaska can be made with a combination of gin bitters, Chartreuse and gin if you are looking for a more complex cocktail. For extra depth, you could add some sherry, but it is not necessary.
This is the perfect drink for a quiet evening with friends and loved ones.
Mix together a mixture of gin and a jigger yellow Chartreuse in a mixing bowl with ice. Strain into an ice-cold coupe or glass, and garnish the drink with a lemon slice.
