One day in 1605, the monks at a Chartreuse monastery received a gift from Francis Hannibal d’ Estrées, King Henri IV’s artillery marshal. The gift was an already ancient recipe for an “Elixir” that soon earned the nickname “Elixir of long life”

The recipe contained over 130 different herbs and spices, making it so complex that it took the monks more than a century to figure out how to make it. Production at the monastery only began in 1737.

Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal is a different but beautiful liqueur. It is made according to the original recipe “Elixir of long life” that the Charreuse monks revived in the 18th century. It is recommended with a sugar cube or slightly diluted with sugared water.
