Sometimes seen as less-accessible, with the use of the divisive yellow Chartreuse in place of vermouth, the Alaska is actually a slightly sweeter variation of the Martini. The enigmatic liqueur adds both depth and complexity to the role of balancing-sweetener, while the use of Old Tom gin over the classic dry style mellows out the sharper flavours of the Chartreuse.
