Green Lizard is a two-ingredient shooter built from equal measures of Vodka and Green Chartreuse. The vodka provides a neutral frame while Chartreuse contributes the drink's sweetness, high proof, and dense herbal character.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

  • Vodka - clean spirit base.
  • Green Chartreuse - high-proof herbal sweetness and spice.

Equipment

  • Shaker
  • Strainer
  • Shot Glass

Equal Parts, High Intensity

The measured three-quarter-ounce pours create a clear 1:1 shot. Chilling and dilution matter because Green Chartreuse is both strongly flavored and high proof.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Use Yellow Chartreuse for a softer, sweeter version.
  • Replace Vodka with Gin for extra botanicals.
  • Serve over a large cube as a short sipper instead of a shot.

Helpful Tips

  • Chill the Shot Glass.
  • Shake with plenty of ice.
  • Strain cleanly to avoid ice shards.
  • No flame is needed; serve it cold and straightforward.
