About
This cocktail was created in 2015 by Darren Crawford at Bourbon & Branch. Thanks to Frederic Yarm (@fredericyarm) for digging up an old post from the bar featuring this one. The name makes sense pretty quickly, since the rye, overproof Jamaican rum, and Green Chartreuse are all over 100 proof. It is bold, boozy, and herbal, with the sweet vermouth and brown sugar cinnamon syrup adding the richness needed to balance the heavy artillery.Cheers y'all!
