Funky Monkey
🥃 Serve in: Highball Glass
A herbal, citrus-spiked highball that shakes green Chartreuse and Galliano with lime and orange juice, then tops it off with ginger beer for a spicy fizz. Unlike the tropical, banana-and-rum Funky Monkey found on most cocktail sites, this version leans on two very different liqueurs — Chartreuse's dense, 130-herb complexity and Galliano's sweet vanilla-anise warmth — rather than chasing a poolside vibe. No documented inventor or origin turned up for this build; it mostly circulates as a home-bar recipe. What it lacks in pedigree it makes up for in contrast: bittersweet herbal liqueurs against bright citrus and ginger beer's bite, more digestif-adjacent than dessert-in-a-glass.
