Green Dragon

The Green Dragon is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that combines the unique flavors of Kummel, Green Creme de Menthe, gin, lemon juice, and orange bitters. This drink is a harmonious blend of herbal, citrus, and slightly sweet notes, thanks to the herbal caraway and anise flavors of Kummel, the minty freshness of Green Creme de Menthe, and the botanical complexity of gin. The addition of fresh lemon juice adds a zesty brightness, while the orange bitters provide a subtle aromatic depth, rounding out the cocktail with a bittersweet finish.

The origins of the Green Dragon are somewhat obscure, but it reflects the classic cocktail era's penchant for inventive and colorful drinks. The use of Green Creme de Menthe gives the cocktail its striking hue and minty profile, a popular flavor in mid-20th-century cocktails. The Green Dragon stands out as a delightful and lively drink, perfect for those who enjoy a mix of herbal and citrus elements in their cocktails. Its balanced combination of flavors makes it a refreshing choice for any occasion, from casual gatherings to more sophisticated soirées.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!
