What is it?
Although no longer produced in the Chartreuse monastery where it earned its name, Chartreuse liqueur is a French herbal liqueur that is still produced under the supervision of monks. It is made with a combination of many different herbal extracts and can be green or yellow in color, but green Chartreuse has higher alcohol content than yellow. Use the liquor sparingly, as it has a strong flavor, for an herbal, floral note in compound butters, sauces or cocktails.
Don’t have it?
Benedictine, Izarra, or another type of herbal liqueur can be substituted for chartreuse.
