Alaska
The Alaska is the most reserved member of the Martini family: no citrus, no sugar, just gin's juniper frame folded gently into the herbal honey of yellow Chartreuse, tightened by two dashes of orange bitters. Stirred, strained into a chilled martini glass and finished with a lemon twist - cold, herbal and long.
