bartender Marcovaldo Dionysos. Created by San Francisco bartender Marcovaldo Dionysos, the Chartreuse Swizzle takes the basic elements of a Caribbean swizzle and sends them to grad school.
Green Chartreuse has a higher ABV (alcohol by volume), clocking in at 55 percent, or 110 proof. It tends to mix better with a cleaner base, such as gin, due to its stronger herbal flavors. Yellow Chartreuse (80 proof) is milder and sweeter, as it is flavored with saffron; it pairs well with bourbon or scotch.
Rum Swizzle recipes vary, but most have three ingredients in common: rum, fruit juice and a sweetener like grenadine or falernum. It's common for swizzles to contain multiple rums and juices, adding flavor and complexity to the drink.
The spinning motion of the swizzle stick mixes, aerates and dilutes the drink, and causes the outside of the glass to frost over. Swizzles can be served as short drinks or lengthened with mineral water.
The shares from the sale of the distillery were bought by friends of the monks, and the monks regained ownership of the Chartreuse trademark and resumed production of the true Chartreuse liqueurs at Fourvoirie, France. Until it was later transferred to Voiron, where it remains today.
