Green Chartreuse is the original love-it-or-fear-it liqueur that bartenders secretly (or not-so-secretly) enjoy torturing their friends with. Crafted by French Carthusian monks since 1764 using a secret blend of 130 herbs, it’s bright green, fiercely herbal, unapologetically boozy, and absolutely unforgettable. On the nose: mint, pine, anise, and straight-up mystery. On the palate: it’s a forest fire of flavours—sweet, bitter, spicy, and medicinal—all at once. Sip it if you dare, or better yet, throw it into a Last Word cocktail and let it shock your palate in smaller, delicious doses.
