Chartreuse Swizzle

Created by San Francisco bartender Marcovaldo Dionysos in the early 2000s, the Chartreuse Swizzle is a modern tiki classic built on herbal green Chartreuse. Swizzling with a traditional Bois Lélé stick gives it that signature frosty glass.

How to Swizzle

Hold the swizzle stick upright in the glass with the prongs at the bottom, then spin the handle quickly between your palms while moving it up and down. Keep going until frost forms on the outside of the glass.

Swizzle it the traditional way with our Bois Lélé swizzle stick.
