We all need a fun, easy new cocktail recipe in our repertoire. Next time you entertain friends, try the Chartreuse Swizzle from the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai  restaurant, ‘ULU. This cocktail is refreshing and sure to be a conversation piece.  Head Bartender of ‘ULU, Doug Shulman, prepares this drink for guests sitting at the bar overlooking the restaurant’s oceanside view.

SERVES: 1

INGREDIENTS

1 ounce Green Chartreuse

.5 ounce John Taylor’s Velvet Falernum*

2 ounces fresh pineapple juice

.5 ounces fresh lime juice

DIRECTIONS

Add all ingredients to highball glass with crushed ice.

Swizzle until well chilled.

Add more ice and repeat until glass is well frosted on the outside.

PRESENTATION

Use a highball glass and garnish with  fresh pineapple leaf.

* Doug swears the secret to this drink is the John Taylor’s Velvet Falernum, which quite frankly was an unfamiliar liquor to me. In a pinch, you can substitute orgeat, but better to see if your favorite liquor store stocks the John Taylor.
