Daisy de Santiago Cocktail Story

First appearing in Charles H. Baker’s 1939 publication of The Gentleman’s Companion, the rustic daisy specifically calls for the 40 proof yellow expression of Chartreuse, meant to be drizzled over cracked ice just before the cocktail is served. The author hailed the Daisy de Santiago as one of the best original classics to come out of the Bacardí house—we tend to agree.
