History
This is a favourite way to enjoy Chartreuse, especially V.E.P. Use equal parts or adjust based on preference.
The Chartreuse marketers promote this well-established drink, its name derived from the clerical colors of green and golden yellow, which are combined in the cocktail. As reported by The Ecclesiastical Review, the specific green shade utilized for vestments signifies the "sight of sunlit meadow and shady woodland, all of which indicates the sense of hope and peace or of tranquil gladness." This green is worn on Sundays and Ferias in Ordinary Time, while golden cloth was, by a Spanish custom abolished in the 1950s, traditionally worn for the Novena (16 to 24 December).
