Chartreuse Julep

Sick of boring ole mint juleps? This one is for you.

If you haven’t had Chartreuse vegetal elixir before, you need to find a bottle. It has all the herbaciousness of Chartreuse without the sweetness. It works really well in a julep and really complements the mint and bourbon, y’all gotta try it out.

Big thanks to @jameswitty for hooking me up with my first bottle! 🙏🏽

Cheers y’all.

Chartreuse Ti’ Punch

If you like daiquiris then you’ll love this recipe.

It’s all built in the glass and as easy to drink as it is to make. Today we’re making a spin on it by adding light herbal elements via “Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse” aka “the elixir” - its the purest form of the original Chartreuse out there (and actually readily available).

The Temperance Cocktail

I've made a ton of cocktails over the past few years, but if I were to label one a Holy City Handcraft 'Signature' cocktail, this particular one may have come closest. Check out my collaboration with Striped Pig Distillery and Charleston Food Writer (Candy Herriott) as I create one of the best cocktails I've ever made (if I do say so myself) -- recipe after the jump!
