Cocktail: Alaska

Ingredients: 2 ounces of Gin, 1 ounce of yellow Chartreuse, 2 dashes of orange bitters

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe.

Bartender Reaction: This is a gin-forward cocktail. If gin doesn’t rank as your favorite spirit, this drink might not be for you. While the yellow Chartreuse and orange bitters do mask the flavor of juniper berries somewhat, there is no hiding the base of this drink. For me, an avid lover of gin, this is a perfect cocktail. I can imagine this mixture beginning a perfect evening in a blackened jazz club before the main act starts owning the stage.

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
