Chartreuse Green Liqueur

I was always curious of this greenish elixir. And thanks to my buddy @Scott_E , i got to try it. I have no idea how to use it , but i simply just had it over ice. I’m not much of a cocktail person, but i’m guessing this is meant to be mixed. There’s two things I simply cant get past: 1) the strange day glo green color, which is naturally made but makes me think it’s radioactive, and 2) the fact that only 2 monks know of this recipe. Seems risky. Nornally I dont talk much of color , but wow…in this case , rhe color takes center stage. Eerily beautiful. Its a greenish day glo / car antifreeze color —-Im sure its meant to be in cocktails to give it a pretty hue. Taste—- herbal, grassy, slightly sweet. The fernet branca i had was pure bitterness. But this is grassier. I dont think this is meant to have by itself , but in mixers and cocktails—and thankfully @Scott_E gave me like half a bottle, so i can experiment. Thanks Scott for the pour!

Smells like a Christmas tree. Pine, spearmint and cut grass. I don't even know what to make of it on the palate. It's honestly what Mr. Scot must have felt when he said "It's.... it's green". It's like if you grew every single culinary herb and made a pesto out of it. The flavours just don't stop. The finish is very lengthy and I get strong Thai basil. It's weird but bloody fantastic. It's the drink equivalent of "I have the weirdest boner right now".
