The Daisy Mae is March 23rd Drink of the Day!!

Here’s one that is as important for its aroma as it is its flavor, hence the reason for the glass you serve it in. A nice bouquet of herbs and mint are a great combination to the overall beverage. As you know, half of what you taste comes from the aroma of the beverage.

A gin based beverage, this uses a liqueur that hardly comes into play in today’s cocktails: green chartreuse. This will give it the aroma that will take this drink to new levels of enjoyment. Add some lime juice to round it out and you have yourself a nice aperitif to enjoy before you break bread with your family or friends.
