The Story Behind The French Quarter Fizz

The Grand-Chartreuse Monastery produces several exceptional bottles. Of its two core products, green and yellow, we like the yellow variant. Yellow Chartreuse usually plays the part of a modifier in a drink, but here, it’s the star. The liqueur is easy on the palate, has less alcohol than other liqueurs and spirits, and we love its principal flavors of citrus and honey — which are also ideal for blending.

This fizz blends Yellow Chartreuse with lemon juice, cream, simple syrup, egg white, and club soda. Edible flowers are an optional way to elevate the drink.

  • 2 ounces Yellow Chartreuse
