Chartreuse

70cl / 55.00% - Green Chartreuse, a strong green liqueur, gets its characteristic taste and colour from a secret blend of over 130 herbs which is made by Carthusian monks in the Chartreuse mountains just north of Grenoble. The monks had been making herbal elixirs at their monastery since the middle ages but it was in 1764 that Green Chartreuse was introduced.The original distillery was destroyed in a mudslide so today Chartreuse is made at Voiron. Its available in its classic green and yellow iterations as well as various limited editions. Its delicious neat as a digestif or in cocktails like the Last Word - a sour made with Green Chartreuse, gin, maraschino liqueur and lime juice.
