History
Rooted in the refreshing structure of a Gin Daisy, this cocktail elevates the classic formula by introducing a split citrus base of lemon and orange, complementing the gin's botanicals. Green Chartreuse steps in as a unique, herbal 'liqueur' component, adding layers of complexity rarely found in a traditional Daisy, making for a truly memorable sip.
