The Chartreuse Daisy puts the famous French herbal liqueur at the center of a classic Daisy. Lemon and a touch of sweetness tame the intense spice of green Chartreuse, while a splash of soda makes the drink lively. An insider tip for everyone who loves herbal-spiced cocktails.

Pro tip: Green Chartreuse is very aromatic and sweet at the same time - add the sugar syrup carefully so the drink does not become too sweet.
Frequently asked questions
What makes the Chartreuse Daisy special?
The green Chartreuse brings over 130 herbs and gives the Daisy an intensely spiced-green note that no other liqueur achieves.
Green or yellow Chartreuse?
Green Chartreuse is stronger and more bitter, yellow milder and sweeter - classically the Daisy is made with the green one.
How strong is the drink?
Green Chartreuse has around 55 percent alcohol, so the Daisy is quite strong despite the soda.
