Birth of a Cocktail: Chartreuse Swizzle

You can order many wonderful tiki drinks, both classic and newish, at San Francisco’s famed Smuggler’s Cove drinking den. But its longest-serving bartender, Marcovaldo Dionysos, has a few classics up his Hawaiian short-sleeve. Most notable is the Chartreuse Swizzle, a long, iced drink he invented in 2002. Since then, it has been served in bars across the globe. But at this place you can get it mixed up by its maker.
