ABV’s Piña Verde

“We’ve tried génépy in all kinds of cocktails where we’d normally use green Chartreuse,” says ABV’s Ryan Fitzgerald, of the herbal, pine-scented liqueur. In this cocktail—”a sort of tribute to [San Francisco bartender] Marcovaldo Dionysos, creator of the Chartreuse Swizzle and lover of tequila”—génépy meets blanco tequila, lime and pineapple, for a summer sipper that’s refreshing and ever-so-slightly bitter.
