Ritz Bijou This drink was apparently created by Frank Meier, who was the bartender of the Ritz Hotel in Paris. The lack of Chartreuse makes this a significantly different cocktail than the normal Bijou, but it is still excellent. Ritz Bijou 1 1/2 ounces gin 3/4 ounce dry vermouth 3/4 ounce orange curaçao 1 dash orange bitters Garnish: Cherry Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass.
