A striking emerald drink topped with a pillowy white foam, the Green Velvet channels alpine herbaceousness through a refreshing lens. The gin's botanicals merge with the complex, slightly mystical intensity of Green Chartreuse, while crème de menthe adds a clean, cooling mint note that brightens rather than overwhelms. Fresh lime cuts through the sweetness and the egg white delivers a silky, frothy texture that softens the herbal edges into something approachable and elegant.
