I made two versions of the recipe yesterday and I have a couple thoughts and notes for those of you who are hesitant/are going to try it. First of all, I think this is excellent and in my opinion it's the closest thing I've tasted to the original green chartreuse. Jean-Félix knocked this out of the park! 1. Check your local distilleries for genepi liqueurs! They are becoming very popular very quickly and it could add some more complexity to the spirit you're making. Local to me is one that's pretty pine heavy and I substituted it for the genepi tincture and the pine essence in a batch as a riff on Jean-Félix's recipe. It worked pretty well! 2. I think a microscale that is precise to three digits after the zero is more critical than realized. I used a 0.00 scale and I feel that scale plus the herbs I used specifically made the anise flavor a little heavy. We suspect the green anise seeds are where that flavor is coming from. They're small and tough to weigh out. 3. As mentioned in one of the chartreuse videos (I can't remember, I've watched them a million times since they were released), the aroma definitely softens and gets more close to the original after a day or so, but I also noticed the flavor changing as well. Initially everything is pretty sharp, but it very quickly mellows and rounds out as the flavors incorporate. 4. Similarly, finding ambrette seeds is tough where I am as well, but, there are plenty of Malvaceae that I would be shocked if they give a totally different flavor. I personally used marshmallow root (Althea officinalis) and it definitely smells musky and earthy. In any case this is amazing. I'm super pleased with the recipe and the flavor and at least locally to me this is far and away the best replacement I've tasted. I'm excited to keep tweaking and experimenting with local ingredients.

I would buy it!

OK, first of all, bra-VO on this recipe. It makes a truly great Green Chartreuse substitute, and anyone on the fence about attempting it themselves should absolutely give it a go. Yes, there are quite a lot of up-front costs-buying the herbs in bulk, buying a sous vide machine if you don’t already own one, buying the Everclear, etc.-but once you have everything, you’ll be able to make far more Chartreuse than you could hope to drink. In other words, your cocktail-imbibing friends will love you. :) My brother and I made two batches of this last week, and I thought I’d share some of the tweaks we made after completing the first batch that really improved the second batch: -Weigh everything. At first, we trusted the milliliter lines on our measuring cups and beakers, but later realized they did not match up to the equal amounts in weight. (100 mL of water should weigh 100 grams.) So I’m not convinced the ratio of neutral grain spirit to water were 100% right in the first batch. It came out really hot, even days later. Just changing milliliters to the same amount of grams made the second batch easier and more balanced. -Use two strainers. Straining the macerated herb mixture through just a gold coffee filter left a thick layer of sediment on the bottom of the bottle after a few days in the fridge. On batch 2, we filtered the macerated herbs through a paper coffee filter set inside the gold coffee filter. This significantly reduced the overall sediment. If you really wanted to take this to the next level, you’ll could rack the liquor off the sediment, if you happen to have the equipment for that. -Make a simple syrup instead of adding water and sugar separately. In the first batch, after the 2-hour maceration, we added the additional neutral grain spirit, water, and sugar, and stirred. And stirred and stirred and stirred. After 30 mins, the sugar was *still* not completely dissolved, and actually it never fully incorporated into the mix. No idea why. So on the second batch, we made a simple syrup with the recipe’s called-for amounts of water and sugar, let it cool to room temp while the herbs were macerating, then added it in at the appropriate step. Incorporated flawlessly. -Look for a lighter lemon balm extract. The lemon balm we used in batch 1 (Herb Pharm) was extremely dark, which predictably made a darker Chartreuse. Adding the blue food coloring did eventually get the Chartreuse close to the right shade of green, but it was still on the darker side. For the second batch, we found a lemon balm extract that wasn’t so dark, and that carried through with a lighter, more vibrant-looking Chartreuse overall. The brand was Gaia Herbs. And yeah…it was good. Even the wonky first batch was good. We ended up doing a blind taste test of four Last Words, one with real Green Chartreuse, one with the homemade stuff, one with Ver (a locally made chartreuse substitute), and one with Genepy. The Last Word with real chartreuse was the overall winner, but the homemade Batch #2 was a close second. So yes, I can confirm that in a cocktail, it’s nearly indistinguishable from real Green Chartreuse, and you’d have to taste them side by side to really pick up any nuance between them. The last step was taking Batch #2 to a local cocktail bar and letting our bartender friend try it. He was blown away by how good it was and proceeded to make a Neptune’s Wrath with it. Seeing our flaming homemade chartreuse in his glass was a serious moment of pride. So thank you for all the work you put into this recipe, Jean-Félix. It’s a stunner.

I wonder, hypothetically, if one were to distill part of this would that be best to have a botanical run (gin basket) with peppermint, lemon balm and pine? And macerate the others? Would be a cool collab with One Piece at a Time Distilling Institute - his absinthe recipes are on point and wouldn’t be too far from this.

Its nearly certain that a bunch of different distillates are used when making this. So that would begin bringing it closer to the actual recipe. However for most folks (especially in the US) regularly producing good distillates is difficult, time consuming, and (in many places like the US) illegal. So this tech seems like an amazing at-home-scale version to get some of the same flavors.

Wow, thanks

I have now created this liqueur twice. I used Genepi liqueur both times because I was unable to find Genepi herb to create a tincture. Both batches taste great, but definitely different from Green Chartreuse. My batches feel heavier or more dense compared to the real thing. When used in cocktails, I cannot personally tell the difference from using this liqueur and Green Chartreuse. One thing I am really struggling with is the color. I am able to make it green by adding blue food coloring, but my batches are coming out as significantly more cloudy. Not as transparent. This combined with the thicker flavor makes me think I am doing something wrong. Could this be caused by not properly vacuum sealing the bag? Could it be related to me diluting 95% grain alcohol down to 80%? Do you have any theories for why my batch looks different from the one presented in the video? I believe it might also be connected to why mine tastes heavier as well.

Do you notice the lower proof since you start with 40% ABV and proof that down with water bringing the ABV closer to 30% (vs chartreuse ABV = 55%)? One thing I really notice with chartreuse is the "proofiness" of it (sometimes not a plus anyway ;) ).

Vacuum sealing the bag with liquid was almost a disaster, the vacuum sealer wants to suck the liquid up into the unit - so be careful of this! My first batch (following the Green Chartreuse recipe in this video) was very anise heavy. I also didn't add enough blue food coloring so the color ended up closer to Yellow Chartreuse. I decided to cut my losses so I added honey and more water to proof it down to roughly 43%. Happy accident I suppose, but I ended up with a halfway decent DIY Yellow Chartreuse on my first batch. As for the recipe, I don't know if it's the Hyssop I sourced or Hyssop in general but my 2nd and 3rd batches (after removing the anise entirely) have a really funky taste and I think I have narrowed it down to the Hyssop. I'm trying a 4th batch with 1/5th of the called for amount of Hyssop, Angelica Root and Licorice Root. Maybe it's the mace blade that is also imparting a flavor that I'm not a fan of? Last night I decided to put some of the ingredients separately in a small amount of 80 proof spirit and in a few days I'm going to see what is what. It's very obvious what flavors the clove, cinnamon, cardamom, rosemary, thyme, etc are imparting into the liqueur. However, I'm not familiar with a lot of the other ingredients so I'm trying to familiarize myself with them so I can make a more educated decision on what to adjust. Thanks for the recipe and inspiration! BTW, 4:1 mix of Genepi liqueur and Chartreuse Vegetal, with a bit of blue food coloring, is the cheapest and easiest DIY Green Chartreuse. It's much closer to the taste of Green Chartreuse than any of my DIY batches so at the end of the day that might be the best route for folks who don't want to dive headfirst into this.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear you made a mess with the vacuum sealer. When using this machine with liquid you have to use the manual mode... I think you are right about the Hyssop. It would taste much cleaner if we could use a distillate but since this is meant to be as easy as possible to make and an approachable recipe for home enthusiasts, I still used the infusion of the plant. That said, dried hyssop is better than fresh for this and I also realized that the funky smell dissipates over time.In terms of anis flavours, my take is that most of us are using 2 digits scales and these little anis seeds are sooooo light, the 2 digits scales are not precise enough which most of the time makes you end up with too much to make the scale move. If you want to keep on making this kind of stuff, I recommend you invest in a 3 digit precision scale. That will help you a lot. Looking forward to hearing more feedbacks on your next experiments. Cheers!
