Made by Carthusian monks in France since the 1700s, Chartreuse has become one of the most iconic and mysterious ingredients in cocktail culture, earning cult status among bartenders worldwide.
And what better cocktail to showcase the bold herbal intensity of Green Chartreuse than the Last Word?
This Prohibition-era classic has experienced a huge revival over the past two decades, becoming a modern bartender favourite across cocktail bars around the world.
In our version, the equal-parts structure allows every ingredient to shine, with maraschino liqueur softening the edges of Chartreuse while fresh lime brings brightness and tension to the drink.
The result is far more than just a sharp herbal cocktail. It is vibrant, layered, and incredibly balanced. Expect bright citrus, earthy alpine herbs, subtle sweetness, and that unmistakable vegetal complexity that only Chartreuse can deliver.
