It’s also the name of tonight’s cocktail, taken from Tito’s official website and designed by mixologist Damon Boelte.

Paris, TX

• 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
• 1 oz dry vermouth
• 1 oz yellow chartreuse

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice.

Drinks like this make me think of relaxing in large, leather wingback chair while puffing on a pipe.

Sophisticated, low-key but also delicious.
