Green & Bitter Harmony Cocktail

HarvestPasta5970

This Green & Bitter Harmony cocktail is a creative fusion inspired by the Naked & Famous, Last Word, and Paper Plane classics. By marrying the herbal punch of Green Chartreuse, the bittersweet complexity of Amaro, and the bracing citrus acidity, it strikes a perfect balance of bitter, sour, and aromatic notes. Campari adds assertive bitterness, or swap for Aperol to mellow the edge. This cocktail is sophisticated yet approachable—ideal for those who crave a lively, intrigue-filled sip.
