Alaska

1.5 Oz (45ML) Gin (typically London dry or New American)
0.5 Oz (15 ML) Yellow Chartreuse
1 dash Orange bitters

Combine all three and stir in a mixing glass. Strain up into a cocktail glass. I’d suggest a Nick and Nora glass or a coupe.

The Earliest we can find the Alaska mentioned in a published setting came from the Savoy cocktail book back in 1930. A bartender isn’t credited in the book for creating it with the book in a very odd way tries to say that the drink was probably created in South Carolina. Frankly it seems with the lack of clues they show the author of the Savoy probably was clued in that the drink was created in South Carolina but didn’t give credit or frankly didn’t know exactly who made it.
