I found this recipe on liquor.com.
gin, sweet vermouth, Chartreuse, Campari
This is a pre-Prohibition era drink that largely disappeared after Prohibition. It was invented by the “father of professional bartending”, Harry Johnson.
The name is very cute. “Bijou” means “jewel” in French. Harry named it bijou because it combined the colors of three jewels: gin for diamond, vermouth for ruby, and chartreuse for emerald. Love it.
It is a yummy drink, with a lot of flavor. To my palette, you can put a drink like Lemon Drop at one end of the “pow flavor” spectrum (tasteless, aside from tart and sweet), and drinks like this at the other end (a little sweet, a little bitter, a little herby, bit of gin bite coming through). “Complex”, I think is the right word.
I bought the necklace in this photo at a store called Bijou, which made me think of using it in the Bijou cocktail photo, naturally.
