This luminous libation captures the yearning at the heart of Gatsby’s dream. Green Chartreuse evokes the glow of that distant light across the bay, while vodka, elderflower, and lime pirouette gracefully beneath a cascade of champagne. Garnished with a twist of lime, it’s elegant, ephemeral, and just out of reach.
