"Invented by the Carthusian Order of Christian monks in Grenoble, France in the 1760s. Pale green-yellow color. Mesmerizing, multilayered, complex bouquet includes scents of licorice, anise, violets, spearmint and basil.

Unlike anything I’ve had before. Sweet but not syrupy. Smooth, aromatic. Best sipped from a small schnapps glass at room temp without ice. At least for my tastes.
There is nothing like it. It is woody, green, herbal, aromatic and delicious. From the initial piney taste to the mellow lemon flowery finish, Chartreuse (Green) is like no other liqueur out there. It's flavor is so distinctive it comes through even when mixed with other cocktail ingredients. Mix one part Chartreuse with one part dry gin to one part sweet Vermouth or Vermouth Bianco, for a savory escape called the "Bijou cocktail".
