What is Chartreuse good for?
“I’ve got a bottle of that stuff in the back of my liquor cabinet. Is it good for anything other than the “Golden Slipper”? Or in other words, is it good for anything?”

Though it’s been referred to as “hobo bile” by random seekers of the worst drink ever, I happen to think it’s pretty awesome. Drinking liquor that smells like pine is a pretty unique experience.
Recipe (via Bunnyhugs):
2 oz gin
½ oz Chartreuse
A couple of sprigs of thyme
Who doesn’t want a drink distilled from like, THOUSANDS of flowers and herbs, and then garnished with more herbs?
The only things missing are spices. Maybe just squirt some Sriracha in there for good measure.
