How to Mix a French Green Dragon Cocktail

The key to an authentic french green dragon lies in the use of cognac. As the name suggests, this drink will appear green when you are done mixing it. A green substance called chartreuse will give the drink a green coloring. You can serve this drink in a martini, cocktail or shot glass. Dressing up the drink with a cherry, lime slice or twist of lemon will give an added touch of sophistication. If you serve this drink with ice, do not serve it in a shot glass. As with all alcoholic beverages, drink responsibly.
