We continue with « Cocktail of Anecdotes » with Julien Escot (Aperture Montpellier). In this edition, we discover the Botanical Swizzle cocktail.
The cocktail by Julien Escot, based on green chartreuse, works its way to please the palate as he subtles the flavors of the French liqueur and brings out the freshness in this drink.
Botanical Swizzle Cocktail, an anecdote by Julien Escot
« A Swizzle that would not displease Quentin Tarantino, a true lover of Chartreuse. I created it on 16/05 on the occasion of Chartreuse Day. I have tried to harmonize the monastic liqueur as best I could by bringing it as much freshness as possible.«
