More About Green Chartreuse Liqueur 70cl (55% ABV)
More About Green Chartreuse Liqueur 70cl (55% ABV)
One of the most sought-after cocktail liqueurs in the world, often described as irreplaceable in modern mixology.
Green Chartreuse is one of the world’s most iconic herbal liqueurs, produced in France by Carthusian monks using a secret recipe of 130 botanicals including herbs, flowers, roots and spices. Its exact formulation is known only to a small number of monks, making it one of the most mysterious spirits ever created.
Originally developed in the 18th century, Green Chartreuse is instantly recognisable for its intense emerald colour and powerful, complex flavour profile. Bottled at 55% ABV, it is significantly stronger than most liqueurs and is traditionally enjoyed as a digestif or used in classic cocktails.
On the palate, it is intensely herbal and layered, with bold notes of mint, pine, anise, citrus peel and warming spice, followed by a long, slightly bitter and medicinal finish. Despite its strength, it carries a natural sweetness that balances its herbal intensity.
Green Chartreuse is a key ingredient in world-famous cocktails such as the Last Word, Bijou and Alaska, and is prized by bartenders for its depth and versatility.
This is a highly distinctive French liqueur with cult status among cocktail enthusiasts, whisky drinkers and spirits collectors alike.

Style: Liqueurs
Chartreuse is one of the strangest and greatest drinks on earth. Made by Carthusian monks using a secret recipe involving 130 herbs, plants and flowers, the liqueur somehow tastes simultaneously medicinal, herbal, sweet, spicy, minty, floral and mildly supernatural.
Produced in the French Alps since the 1700s, Chartreuse exists in two main forms: Green Chartreuse, the intense high-proof version that feels like alpine forests concentrated into liquid form, and Yellow Chartreuse, the softer, slightly sweeter sibling. Both have become legendary among bartenders, cocktail obsessives and anyone who enjoys drinks that refuse to behave normally.
The recipe itself remains famously secret, known only by a tiny number of monks at any given time. Which naturally makes the whole thing even more mysterious and appealing. Somewhere in the Alps, monks are quietly making one of the world’s most iconic liqueurs while the rest of us attempt to identify flavours like “pine forest after rain” and “medieval apothecary”.
What makes Chartreuse especially brilliant is the sheer complexity. Every sip seems to change direction halfway through. Herbs, citrus, anise, mint, honey, pepper and resinous alpine notes all collide in ways that sound ridiculous on paper but somehow become completely addictive in practice.
It’s also astonishingly versatile. Cocktails, neat pours, coffee, desserts, cheese boards, apparently Chartreuse just turns up and improves things while remaining gloriously weird the entire time.
Honestly, it feels less like a drink and more like an ancient magical object that accidentally became commercially available.
