The Puritan Cocktail lies somewhere between the Martini and the Alaska, using both dry vermouth and a bit of yellow Chartreuse. The Brooklyn bar Tooker Alley serves a fine version. This is their recipe.

Ingredients

2 ounces Plymouth gin

1 ounce Dolin dry vermouth

2 teaspoons yellow Chartreuse

1 dash orange bitters

Lemon twist

Preparation

Combine the liquid ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express a lemon twist over the surface of the drink and drop it into the glass.
