[liquor]( --------------------------------------------------------------- December 6, 2021 --------------------------------------------------------------- [Discover All That Chartreuse Can Do for Your Cocktails]( Chartreuse, available in both green and yellow formulations of the liqueur, is a bit of an enigma. Both varieties are said to be made with 130 different alpine botanicals, but the exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, known, as legend holds, by only two of the Carthusian monks who produce the liqueurs. The original formulation is said to date to 1605; the brand was registered in 1840. The herbaceous liqueur first appeared as an “elixir” used for medicinal purposes, and evolved into the contemporary Chartreuse Verte, or green Chartreuse, bottled at 110 proof or 55% ABV and bearing brighter, sharper botanical notes than its yellow counterpart. Chartreuse Jaune, or yellow Chartreuse, which was introduced to the market many years later, is 86 proof or 43% ABV and is notably lighter and sweeter, with notes of saffron and honey. No matter which version you prefer, the centuries-old liqueur is excellent both sipped neat and when shaken or stirred into cocktails. These are eight to try, from revered classics to contemporary concoctions from top bartenders.
