Feeling like getting weird this holiday? See what a few glasses of Chartreuse in your belly will accomplish. Chartreuse is an herbal liqueur produced by Carthusian monks in the French Alps. The liquor has a nearly 400 years of history and is one of the oldest and most mysterious spirits still available to the global market. Only three monks from the order know the secret recipe, each hold one third of that recipe and all have taken a vow of silence, so the secret recipe is kept safely. Now more importantly, it has reported psychedelic like effects when imbibed, due to the fermentation in wormwood casks, a process formerly executed to produce absinthe. Absinthe is an alcohol made famous by impressionist artists like Toulouse Lautrec, Paul Manet, Paul Gaugin, and of course, Vincent Van Gogh. It’ll make you say “maybe you should drive quicker than Jack Daniels” and boldly hosts the worst website on the internet. Go see it
