Chartreuse may well be the world’s most famous herbal liqueur. Made by Carthusian monks since 1737, it originated in a monastery in the Chartreuse Mountains near Grenoble, France. The monks continue to produce Chartreuse to this day in nearby Aiguenoire. A blend of distilled alcohol aged with 130 herbs, plants and flowers, Chartreuse’s exact recipe is a closely guarded secret know to only a few in the order. Made in a variety of styles, colors and strengths, Chartreuse has gained new popularity in a variety of craft cocktails. Due to limited production and increased demand, it can be difficult to find in the marketplace.
