Green Eyes

Andrew and Brianna Volk | Portland, Maine

At Portland Hunt + Alpine Club, the Green Eyes has been the best seller since Day One. This riff on the Last Word is a straightforward combination of gin, green Chartreuse, lime, simple syrup and an egg white, resulting in a frothy, herbaceous drink and “a true representation of Hunt + Alpine,” according to co-owner Brianna Volk.
