About the Chartreuse Swizzle
Marco Dionysos created it in San Francisco in the early 2000s for a Chartreuse cocktail competition. It has since become one of the best-known modern Green Chartreuse drinks.
Missing something?
- No Green Chartreuse? Use Yellow Chartreuse (Sweeter, milder and lower proof)
- No Pineapple Juice? Use Pineapple (Blend fresh pineapple and strain it; it foams just as well)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Velvet Falernum? Use Falernum (A sweeter, milder falernum style)
