Chartreuse - Page 2

I sell Chartreue and Vertical Vodka in New Zealand. Chartreuse was originally made as a long life elixir. Made completely of herbs, and yes it is made by monks who have taken the vow of silence!! Quite the opposite to people who drink it!!

Have a whole host of recipes. Hot chocolate is in their brochure so good for those cold winter nights (or mornings if your keen) I drank half a bottle the other night with pineapple juice and soda water. No hangover - don't you just love it!!! With wine, it takes three days and a whole lot of trying to find that perfect food to take the quesy tummy away. Trick with chartreuse (as with most alcohol) is not to mix it with any other alcohol. Most people have it at the end of the night after drinking copious amounts of other stuff.
FACTFILE: More chartreuse in drunk per capita in New Zealand than any other country in the world!! You hear about New Zealand and it's clean green image - they are talking about chartreuse!!!!:: `

I gave the girl at the the cigar shop some yellow and green chartreuse and asked her to match them to a cigar this is what she came up with:

Hi Michelle,
I found the yellow chartreuse to be fairly sweet & fruity.I think the best match would be an El Rey Del Mundo Lunch Club which has some fruity characteristics. For the Green chartreuse it was a bit harder but I think perhaps a Punch Punch which has wood & pepper characteristics. Both cigars are Cuban.

kind regards
Francesca

I saw a guy get drunk on this stuff one night. He was the same color as the liquer when they carried him out (after he blew chunks all over the place).

haha nice!!
Chances are he had drunk copious amounts of other stuff first! It doesn't treat you well if you have other drinks with it - it thinks your playing around on it and gets violent!!!!
stick to it only and it treats you well - very well!!!!

I speak only from experience!!

Wow!!! I drank the shot bottle that Kiwi sent me..well I split the shot with a friend of mine. I was expecting an Absinthe-like taste..boy was I wrong.

It tasted like a peppermint extract on steroids and hot. And it was very, very aromatic...straight to my head..POW!!!!

Sounds like one of those herbal spirits that were originally digestifs/tonics.

[SIZE=3]How right you are!!! It was actually made as a long life elixir. It is made with 132 herbs so if very good for you. I drink it with pineapple juice and soda water in a long glass. No hangover kinda helps too. Bringing some to the mega mob herf (for pre or post herf shots) and to the "shit herf with a kiwi bird"!!
