It is a distilled alcohol aged with 130 herbs, plants and flowers. The name derived from the monks' Grande Chartreuse monastery in the Chartreuse Mountains. Chartreuse is known to age and improve in the bottle. Green Chartreuse is the original high proof version; 55% ABV.
1 dash
A celery flavored bitters with a hint of lemon, created from an 19th century recipe.
1 twist

Stir all the ingredients over ice, then strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Express the lemon twist over the drink and discard. #stir #straight
“I hadn’t seen a stirred-and-up blanco tequila or rhum agricole drink before, so I found bottles of both that shared a vegetal profile. The fennel flavors of the Finocchietto liqueur bridge the two spirits nicely.” -Jarred Weigand
