"One of my absolute favorite winter drinks is the après-ski classic verte chaud - also known as hot chocolate with a shot of emerald Green Chartreuse. This 300-year-old monastic liqueur is flavored with over 130 different botanicals, making it fabulously complex, with reviving notes of anise, mint, ginger, aromatic woods, pepper, tobacco, and lemon zest. It brings real lift to hot chocolate or dishes with earthy cocoa and creamy notes."
"There's been a well-publicized shortage of Green Chartreuse lately, which makes adding it to something simple as a mug of hot chocolate feel especially decadent. Make sure your hot chocolate's up to scratch by going for a brand with a really high cocoa content - Knoops's range of single-origin hot chocolate flakes includes varieties from Colombia, Peru, and the Philippines that range from 62 percent to an uncompromising 100 percent."
A blood-red sunset gave way to a frost-covered morning and a turn toward warm, boozy drinks. The après-ski classic verte chaud pairs hot chocolate with a shot of emerald Green Chartreuse, a 300-year-old liqueur infused with over 130 botanicals delivering anise, mint, ginger, woods, pepper, tobacco, and lemon notes. A current shortage of Green Chartreuse makes its use feel decadent. Choose high-cocoa hot chocolate, such as Knoops's single-origin flakes (62–100 percent). Rum, brandy, whisky, reposado tequila, and smoky mezcal also harmonize with cocoa. Classic Irish Coffee blends coffee, Irish whiskey, and cream.
