Golden Citrus Fizz

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 oz tequila

0.75 oz yellow Chartreuse

1 oz lemon-grapefruit sour mix

Club soda

Ice cubes

Lemon peel, for garnish

Leaf wrap, for garnish (optional)

PREPARATION:

Start by combining 1.5 oz of tequila, 0.75 oz of yellow Chartreuse, and 1 oz of lemon-grapefruit sour mix in a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and properly mixed.

Strain the mixture into an old, ornate vintage tumbler filled with a large ice cube. Top off the drink with a splash of club soda to add a refreshing fizz.

For the garnish, twist a lemon peel over the glass to release its oils, then drop it into the drink. Optionally, wrap a green leaf around the glass to enhance the presentation.

Serve the Golden Citrus Fizz immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of tequila's smoothness, yellow Chartreuse's herbal complexity, and the bright, tangy flavors of the lemon-grapefruit sour mix. The soda adds a delightful effervescence, making this cocktail perfect for a refreshing and sophisticated experience.
