About
The Alaska cocktail is a classic gin drink with the distinctive herbal flavor of Yellow Chartreuse. It's a simple but strong cocktail, often served as an aperitif. The drink's name is said to have been inspired by the frosty, crisp nature of Alaska, fitting for its herbal and citrusy profile. This cocktail is favored by those who enjoy herbal and slightly bitter notes combined with the smoothness of gin.
