Thanks for this. Perhaps one of us should take one for the team, become a Carthusian monk, discover the secret recipe and share that discovery with the world.

Only a few of those monks know the actual recipe. The rest just take care of their one part which is mixed and used to blend in the final product. So that wouldn't even get you the results you want!

I'm really happy to see Chaparral from Brucato mentioned. I absolutely love the stuff. I still haven't tried Green Charteuse by itself, but the Chartreuse swizzle I made with Chaparral tasted just like the one at the bar and the last word I made with it was absolutely delicious. It's also great by itself. I was surprised and happy to see it in Los Angeles. It's easy to find in San Francisco, but I imagine rare anywhere else. Highly recommend trying it.

I tried a few of these, but my favorite alternative for green Chartreuse has been Boomsma Cloosterbitter. The nose on its own is different, but the flavor in a cocktail is right with it. Not the most pourable bottle, but I was pleasantly surprised with it and will be my go-to for the foreseeable future. Great video, as always 🍻

Anders featured the Boomsma Claerkampster Cloosterbitter in his Chartreuse alternative video. I picked up a bottle for only $28 in Chicago and gave it a try in a Last Word. It missed the bracing vibrance of all those herbs (Boomsma's 17 vs. Chartreuse's 130) but ultimately worked out pretty well.

Still hoping that Tempus Fugit will come through with their own Chartreuse alternative, if anyone could nail it than it'd be them.

My wife muled a bottle of Chaparral from Bitters and Bottles after this video. Fantastic liqueur - really fun middle space between an amaro and an herbal liqueur. I love the focus on featuring local California herbs.

I grabbed a bottle of the Bracato Chaparral the other day in hopes that it would keep me out of my meager stash of green Charteuse. As far as mouthfeel and sugar content I find it VERY close. Flavor-wise it is absolutely not a replacement, but it does scratch a lot of the same itches. I enjoy Chartreuse neat and I very much enjoy the Bracato neat, as well. I’ve been adding a few drops of the Chartreuse Vegetal, so for now, at least, my 3 bottles of the green are safe. I’m eagerly awaiting an order of the Faccia Brutto Centerbe. Thanks for the recommendations!

FWIW, I've found DOM Benedictine to be the closest easy-to-find thing to Yellow Chartreuse. Not the same, but surprisingly similar in cocktails.

that is a solid alternative. Strega is also a pretty good one. Galliano works in a pinch

Genepy is my usual go-to. Although I have worked in a bar where were the blue/green btl faccias and brucato were used often, among other stuff... though not as a sub for GC. It's been a while since I've used them but now I have to keep an eye out. Thanks for the video, the world needed this, seriously lol

I've heard that Strega and Galliano work as mixing alternatives for yellow Chartreuse, though I have never tried either colour of Chartreuse, so I cannot verify that

Nice and informative video! Centum Herbis sounds delicious with the chocolate notes. Sadly, I don’t think any of those Chartreuse alternatives are available in Denmark/Europe in general (where I am from). But then again, there is still plenty of Chartreuse in Denmark. One of my go-to shops currently have 39 bottles of GC in stock.
