About The Bijou:
The Bijou is a cocktail with a punch! This bright and bold delight has origins in France and is known for its unique blend of gin, green chartreuse, sweet vermouth and a dash of orange bitters. The drink is then dressed up with a fancy olive and a twist of lemon zest.
A Bijou is a flavor explosion! It’s bold and vibrant, with different notes combining to create a strong, sweet, and slightly herbal taste.
Bijou is pronounced as “bee-zhoo”
