Green Chartreuse

Green Chartreuse is a naturally green liqueur obtained from 130 herbs and other plants macerated in alcohol and steeped for about eight hours. A last maceration of plants provides its color to the liqueur. It's made in almost eastern France and is bottled at around 40% ABV.

The flavor of the Chartreuse is sweet, spicy, and smooth with a distinctly herbal finish. Tasting notes also have mint, sage, gentian, apple, and vanilla. The flavor evolves depending on its temperature. There are two options to serve: as a digestif or on the rocks. Some bartenders even keep their bottles in the freezer for the greatest refreshment.
