Pretty good. Name comes from the fact that it uses Yellow Chartreuse, which of course comes from a Carthusian Monastery. It is in high demand because the monks only make enough of it, and it’s cousin Green Chartreuse, to support themselves in their sparse lifestyle.
Anders video is quite long as he goes on about the history of the drink, etc, so I’ve started it where he actually gives the recipe and makes the drink. He also offers two alternates to the Yellow Chartreuse because it is so difficult to get (Not at Farandaville though, we have a nice stash of Yellow and Green) so stay to the end for that.
Farandaville notes
We have used the same recipe as above. You should probably try this drink without the small bit of simple syrup but we find the barspoon of syrup rounds out the cocktail. Haven’t tried with either Benedictine or Drambuie subbing for the Chartreuse, but we will.
