A tasty trinity of Cognac, spiced rum, and green Chartreuse.

The Holy Water cocktail—a longtime favorite at New Orleans’ Seaworthy where it’s served in a votive candle glass and set aflame—balances out spiced rum’s sweetness with bright citrus and oak-aged Cognac, while a barspoon of green Chartreuse lends herbal depth.

Ingredients

¾ oz. Cognac
¾ oz. spiced rum
¾ oz. orgeat
½ oz. fresh lime juice
½ oz. fresh lemon juice
1 barspoon green Chartreuse

Tools:swizzle
Glass:Collins or hurricane
Garnish:hollowed-out lime, sugar cube, green chartreuse, fire

Preparation

Pour all of the ingredients into a glass. Add crushed ice to fill and swizzle the drink until well mixed and chilled. Add a half hollowed-out lime, place a sugar cube inside, cover it with green Chartreuse, carefully light the Chartreuse on fire, then and serve.
