Description

The Love & Murder is a modern cocktail that was created by bartender Nick Bennett at Porchlight in New York City, New York. It uniquely combines Campari and Green Chartreuse, which are two of the most divisive liqueurs in the world, as the base in equal parts, and it pairs them with sour citrus, simple syrup, and salt to create a savory and sweet recipe. Although it could be interpreted as a nod to the ingredients, the drink was named for the broadway play The Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder because Bennett knew the Broadway actors who frequent the bar would enjoy the reference.
