Green Chartreuse from the Monastery of La Grande Chartreuse

This is the only green liqueur, renowned worldwide, prepared with natural ingredients. Aged in oak barrels and in bottles, it has been made in France by the Carthusians since 1764 based on a traditional recipe kept secret and known only by the Carthusians themselves. More than 130 plants and herbs, macerated in grape alcohol and then distilled, make up the recipe. Powerful and unique, Green Chartreuse is the only natural green liqueur (owing its color to chlorophyll). It’s best appreciated with ice, as a digestive and in cocktails.
