Hey, Beijing air: My cocktail is 400 *thousand* booze parts per million
Oops.
After posting about the Titanic II cocktail created by Paul Mathew at Flamme last night, I decided it would be unfair to not mention a drink he created earlier that evening. Let me first say that rare is the bartender one can approach, ask “Since this pollution sucks, how about inventing a drink called The Green Lung?” and watch create a tasty and original concoction in a matter of minutes. Some bartenders would refuse to do it; others would be incapable; only a few would be both willing and able to see thought such a project.
Here’s Mathew’s recipe for The Green Lung: gin, grapefruit bitters, Chartreuse elixir vegetal and Benedictine, with a lemon twist.
The Green Lung checks in at ~400,000 booze parts per million compared to a measly high of 460 parts for Beijing air pollution yesterday. I suggest you order three at a time. Sometimes two Green Lungs aren’t enough in this city…
