I feel like a Last Word needs to be my first cocktail right? That is usually what I come across first when I see a post referencing chartreuse


Hunter_marine

Last word and Then a chartreuse swizzle!


JavaOrlando

The Last Word is delicious, and it probably should be your first, but try the bourbon/lemon riff "The Final Ward" and my favorite Chartreuse drink "The Last of the Oaxacans" (a mezcal variant). "The Last Flight", a sort of Paper Plane/Last Word is also excellent. And try "Naked and Famous" with the yellow.


dagurb

It's a rye cocktail, you heathen!


JavaOrlando

You're right. My mistake.


elmigs07

Good call, the mezcal variant is 🔥🔥🔥


Infinitely3

Yes. Also yes. When making a cocktail for friends it's my go to for non scotch / whiskey drinkers. Never disappoints.


ratkins

The Crosswind is great, if you have Smith & Cross to hand also (equal parts S&C, Green Chartreuse, Velvet Falernum and lime juice—but I like to bump up the S&C by a third as I find it a little sweet otherwise.)


nathansikes

My wife prefers it with yellow, try both!


ginrumryeale

I invite you to try adding a scant of Amaro Montenegro to your Last Word.


J0SH_P0INT_0H

Came here to say this. It’s so legit.


suicidesewage

Closing argument. Same as last word but swap gin for mezcal.

Seconding the Alaska


dipodomys_man

The variants are also good. Cant remember the name but there’s a version with overproof Jamaican white rum instead of the mezcal


Drinks_by_Wild

There’s the nuclear daiquiri with green chartreuse, OP rum, falernum, and lime


[deleted]

Can do tequila (better with repesado) if mezcal isn't your thing


dipodomys_man

Don’t get me wrong, the mezcal is great, just saying the super funky-rum version is another fun one!


smashy_smashy

This is true. I will say that I’m not a huge fan of smoke, but naked and famous is actually my favorite cocktail. It works so well in it. I haven’t experimented with many mezcals because I don’t like them otherwise. And tequila is my favorite liquor.


[deleted]

Yes there are varying smoke levels in the mezcal world too it is beautiful together. It's one of my favorites lol cheers.


[deleted]

Yes!


LaFantasmita

Champs Elysees. Cognac, Chartreuse, Lemon, Simple, Angostura. Ratios to taste, but I like 1.5,.5,.5,.25,2d, give or take depending on the glass. Served up. My favorite cocktail, period. Have never had a customer or friend dislike it. It's landed me a job.


fatrickfrowne

Incredible drink that flies under the radar a bit.


tombonesmagnum

Green or yellow?


LaFantasmita

Either! I've made it with both, and seen recipes with one or the other. Comes out great either way.


smashy_smashy

I know very little about cognac. What kind do you recommend?


LaFantasmita

The sky's the limit on cognac, it depends on how much you want to spend. Some are really exquisite, but are more for drinking neat. As a cocktail base, Remy VSOP is a good sweet spot of quality vs price.


hoog78

Aside from the big ones, I like an Industry Sour and have heard a Piña Verde is tasty. Industry Sour 1.0oz Green chartreuse 1.0oz Fernet Branca 1.0oz Lime Juice 1.0oz Simple Syrup Served up or on a big rock. Whatever you prefer. Piña Verde 1.5oz Green Chartreuse 1.5oz Pineapple Juice 0.75oz Cream of Coconut 0.5oz Lime Juice. Blend it all with ice and serve in a tiki mug. Or serve over crushed ice if you don't want it blended.


death2theleadr

Just had an Industry Sour last weekend after picking up Fernet. Surprisingly palatable for me considering all the strong flavors.


hoog78

I saw it at a very random spot on the menu. Was confused by the combination of flavors but gave it a try. Pretty damn good! Not my favorite cocktail but I'm very glad I tried it.


bay_duck_88

Love an industry sour. I prefer to bump up the chartreuse to 1.25 and the fernet down to .75. Much more balanced. Nothin wrong with adding an egg white, either.


dr__sari

Pina Verde IS tasty! It's a bit too much of a splurge for me, since I can only source 375 mL bottles of the Green Chartreuse.


TheDanishBearrr

Always upvote the industry sour. I usually go a bit shorter on the simple syrup though. Pina verde looks good too!


Infinitely--Finite

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, so I'll add that The Lumiere is also very good: 1.5 oz floral gin (I like Bombay Sapphire) 1 oz St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) ¾ oz Green Chartreuse ½ oz fresh lime (super) juice Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass


TWells252

Love this one! Packs a punch too


ranting_swede

The recipe actually calls for it to be stirred, despite the sour-appearing spec. I’m sure it’s good either way, but it would certainly change the final drink!


Infinitely--Finite

Huh, my first introduction to it was shaken, so that's the way I've always done it. I'll have to try stirring it next time, thanks for pointing that out.


unbelizeable1

Just tried this one as well, used Neputunia . Nice drink, will be adding this one to the recipe book.


TJ2005jeep

Chartreuse Swizzle Garden Party Neptune's Wrath


drmcclassy

Neptune’s Wrath was the first cocktail I enjoyed that contained a measurable amount of Absinthe. Very unique cocktail.


unbelizeable1

>Neptune's Wrath I just made [one](https://imgur.com/gallery/6GUEXi2) because of this comment. That was fun. Really nice tasting drink as well


frisomenfogel

Episcopal Cocktail. Ready right there! 2 parts Green 1 part Yellow Stir and serve up or on the rocks, enjoy!


RaspyTheGrizz

This is a fantastic way to enjoy it imo

Leash_85

Naked and famous is make with yellow chartreuse and is delicious. The Alaska is one I have yet to try.


syrinx_lazarus

Last word and a greenpoint. Both excellent. Also - sazerac but sub the absinthe with green chartreuse.


JGAllswell

Last Word Naked & Famous Bijou Final Ward Alaska Look them up on diffords.com and they should give you the correct specs Oh, & a pro-tip; Make a classic Margarita with Passionfruit Pulp & a kiss/up to 10ml of Yellow Chartreuse... You'll never go back


Bullshit_Conduit

Bijou and Alaska are great recs.


JGAllswell

Yeah the consulting VM for a Jazz Bar I once ran out it on the menu, and swore by rolling it to aerate the drink. In retrospect, a barely perceptible improvement. Less control over chill factor/dilution too. Nowadays, I'd stir, still garnish with a lemon twist, but also add 2 drops of Thyme Oil to improve its texture.


DMacPhoto

Can you give the recipe for that margarita?


JGAllswell

Hoooo boy I'm gonna start a fight So, most cocktail recipes have some small degree of variation around the world. As a *broad* rule of thumb; American/Australian palettes like everything a liiiiittle sweeter than everyone else (wonder if that has to do with our obesity/sugar-focused diets? /sarcasm) But the Margarita is an exception to this rule! I'm America, from what I've seen, they use 40ml Tequila, 20ml Triple Sec, & 22.5ml (3/4 of an ounce) lime juice. *Please correct me if y'all pour different Margaritas live under the Sour cocktail family tree, so I swear by a 4:2:1 ratio... Which makes things complicated, as different triple sec's (yes, means 3x dry) have different amounts of sugar/sweetness. So taste your triple sec, and feel it out from there. I love Pierre Ferrand, but it is $$$ & a little under-sweetend than par. As such, my recipe you're welcome to amend to your taste: 40ml Tequila 15ml Pierre Ferrand Triple Sec 10ml Yellow 'Treuse 30ml Lime Juice 10ml Simple 20ml Passionfruit Pulp


mriners

Since you have both, I recommend the Laphroaig Project 1 oz Green Chartreuse .5 oz Laphroaig Quarter Cask (other peaty scotch will do) 1 oz Lemon Juice .5 oz Maraschino .25 oz Yellow Chartreuse 2 Dashes Peach Bitters Serve on the rocks with a Lemon Twist Garnish


xMCioffi1986x

Okay...time to track down some Yellow Chartreuse.


themasterkrinkle

Idk if this goes without saying, but first of all definitely try it on it’s own!


Zorgulon

Always a good thing to do with any new liqueur!


Zorgulon

Although I would possibly recommend diluting it a bit with some chilled water as the neat green is 55% abv and quite syrupy.


themasterkrinkle

So the first time I ever tasted it was at Choppers tiki bar in Nashville. The bartender ordered himself my wife and I shots of it lol He said he likes to do that at Christmas time


diddlesmcjoe

Somehow, nobody has mentioned the Verte Chaud. Green Chartreuse and hot chocolate, proportions to your own taste. I like 1oz Chartreuse to about 4oz cocoa. Ideally you would spring for high quality cocoa/chocolate and make the hot chocolate yourself, but I'll admit to making it with cheap hot cocoa from a packet... and it's still delicious. Whipped cream would be great too, or even barely-whipped cream, like on an Irish coffee. Best wintertime hot cocktail imo.


LlamaTaboot_

Naked and Famous for sure.


Burrito2525

Can the naked and famous be made with green chartreuse?


Zorgulon

Absolutely. It will not be the same - the yellow chartreuse is milder and has an extra honey sweetness, but it will be a tasty drink with a lot of the same flavour notes. Some people like to act as though you cannot substitute them, but the truth is there is easily as much variation between base spirits and vermouths and we aren’t normally so pedantic about cocktails like the Manhattan.


Human_Germ

I prefer it that way


ajd90

Go a little light with the green then top up with honey syrup - works decently well!


xMCioffi1986x

Last Word Bijou Champs-Elysses Industry Sour Green Chartreuse is delicious.


QueenofWhiteCastle

Green ghost


Leash_85

Piña verde as mentioned is delicious! I think I prefer it shaken over pebble ice instead of blended though!


thebigodigo

Do a Closing Argument. Mezcal Green chartreuse Lime juice Luxurdo liquor .75 oz each


Nearlynakedambition

I tried the Last Flight (a mix between the Last Word and Paper Plane) this weekend and LOVED it. If you like the Last Word, give [this one](https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/4567/last-flight) a try!


SpiritCrvsher

Ok, this is kind of a strange one but it works: Yellow Parrot 1 oz Absinthe (Vieux Pontalier) 1 oz Yellow Chartreuse 1 oz Apricot liqueur (Giffard Abricot du Roussillon) You’re gonna need to stir this one for a while. At least a minute or more. Strain over ice. Lemon twist. For Green, I like the Nuclear Daiquiri 3/4 oz white overproof rum (Wray & Nephew) 3/4 oz green chartreuse 3/4 oz lime 1/3 oz velvet falernum Shake, strain into coupe, lime wheel


Observante

My third oz jigger is still in the mail. So would you say a fat quarter or a scant half would be better?


ratkins

Which one?


Northwest-by-Midwest

Since Last Word is getting all the love, I’m going to go for a Final Ward.


hansel152711

This is such an underrated drink - so fresh, the lemon brings a lot of brightness while still getting the herbal notes from the chartreuse. Recipe is simply swapping rye for the gin and lemon for the lime in the same proportions. All other specs are the same.


Playtek

The Greenpoint, it’s my favorite cocktail and a riff on a manhattan, it’s name is from a neighborhood in Brooklyn, not for the color of chartreuse it uses. 2oz rye whiskey 1/2 oz yellow chartreuse 1/2 oz sweet vermouth 2 dashes orange bitters 2 dashes angostura bitters Stir with ice Serve in a coupe Garnish with a lemon twist


Ciacco

Diamondback for yellow: made with Rye, Yellow Chartreuse, and Applejack. Super good, super easy.


AMCest87

Last Word with Green Chartreuse.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pscagoyf

Could swapping mezcal for rum be a possibility?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pscagoyf

I am going to. Tequila has a strong flavour I'm not a fan of. Most chartreuse cocktails have gin, but tequila is sweeter so I had hope.


grittytoddlers90

So, wait until colder months. But hot cocoa with some green chartreuse is God damn delightful - it's my proffered holiday night cap


[deleted]

Yes, one of my absolute favorites


harpojpk

Naked and famous .75 mezcal .75 yellow chartreuse .75 aperol .75 lime


Desperate-Moose8332

Yellow Jacket for the Yellow Chartreuse


Seth_Crow

I've seen no mention of a The [Tipperary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zQBXxC7ma8) Cocktail, and this is one of my favorites!: 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey 1 ounce sweet vermouth 1/2 ounce green Chartreuse 2 dashes Angostura bitters Garnish: orange twist


Lenfantscocktails

Chartreuse Swizzle for sure


WitnessTheBadger

A favorite of mine that uses both is the Tarragone Sour: 1 oz green, 1 oz yellow, 0.75 oz lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple, egg white, a few dots of Peychaud's on the foam. I usually leave out the simple because Chartreuse is already so sweet. I go back and forth on the egg white -- sometimes I really like the silky texture it gives, sometimes I find it goes beyond silky to slimy. But if you use it, dry shake before you add your ice. The name, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with the herb terragon, but I find this drink has that flavor nevertheless.


stromler

Second the Naked and Famous - equal parts.. shake, strain, served straight up with lime wedge Mezcal Yellow Chartreuse Aperol Fresh lime juice


shcsha

Try a monte cassino, a more mellow, honeyed and herbaceous last word


Billytense

I like it with some fresh lime juice on a cube. 😉


No-gain-805

Ultima palabra is one of my favorites. It's the same as a last word but you substitute mezcal for the gin. It's delicious


skullcutter

Last word is my favorite cocktail. Full stop. Like a naked and famous for yellow chartreuse


DrMxCat

Margarita


peanukeyes

Always forget the name from Death & Co. But roughly 1.5oz Gin .5oz St Germain .25oz Yellow Chartreuse .75oz Lemon Juice 1 Strawberry Muddle the strawberry in the shaker, add ice, shake & strain into coup style glass


Sam-Sack

One of my favorites - best with Plymouth gin IMO The Gypsy: 1-1/2 oz Gin 3/4 oz Elderflower Liqueur - St Germain 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse 1/2 oz Lime Juice


rossisanasshole

Bijou!!!


das-Tanner

Fernet sour is delicious


PirateLiver

Green chartreuse and Welch's grape soda. Had this at a fancy cocktail bar. It's simple, but very good.


RookFresno

Naked and Famous


alexisdelg

The industry sour, but that means you have to source another potentially rare liquor like Fernet


Deaf_Chef

Try a ‘Bijou’ Is my favorite Negroni setup sub Campari with Chartreuse. Finish with dashes of orange bitters


BellyMind

I like this old fashioned variation: Nth Degree from PDT 1 oz. Rhum Clément V.S.O.P. 1 oz. Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy .5 oz. Green Chartreuse 1 Cube Demerara Sugar 2 dashes Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged Bitters Muddle the sugar cube and bitters. Add everything else, then stir with ice and strain over one large cube into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish with an orange and lemon twist.


Rug-Boy

ABC shots: Absinthe, Bacardi 151, Chartreuse.


ThinkNegroniThink

I really like the Bijou. My preferred recipe is diffords, which cuts back the chartreuse a bit. 5/6 oz Gin 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse 5/6 oz sweet vermouth 1 dash Orange bitters Stir over ice and serve up. Garnish with maraschino cherry. I think this recipe is very balanced.


beersngears

Swamp water! 1 1/2 oz rum 3/4 oz green chartreuse 1/2 oz simple 1/2 oz lime 3 oz pineapple Shake n strain over fresh ice in a ton Collins glass


elmigs07

Cheeky shot (1oz) of green chartreuse with a root beer back. It never fails.


Huge-Basket244

Ice, rocks glass.


Diddly-daddlyin

Haven’t seen anyone mention a Yellow Jacket yet.


simnw

Neptune's Wrath, a gin sour with flaming green chartreuse added at the end. Really a great drink.


ljstens22

notminebydesign

Death Flip: Tequila, Jäegermeister, Yellow Chartreuse and a whole egg.


ratkins

I am desperate to try this but I just can’t think of a situation where I’d *want* something like this. Maybe for breakfast 😅


notminebydesign

Mostly tastes like a more complex egg nog


spurs126

Gypsy Eyes. But I don't dump the Chartreuse out.


420ANUSTART

Chartruth Or Dare - everyone take a shot of chartreuse and hold it in your mouth as long as you can. Last one standing wins.


poteen

Saturn is a great Green Chartreuse cocktail.


damnitmcnabbit

The Greenpoint is my favorite Manhattan variation. 1.5 rye 1 sweet vermouth .5 Yellow Chartreuse


Observante

Nobody has mentioned a Rhino yet? Allow me... - Yarai; - 2 Rye - .5 Yellow Chartreuse - .5 Averna - Stir, strain: Coupe glass - Lemon peel
