Ever heard of chartreuse? Made by monks in France? Bright green liqueur? Stupid expensive? Yeah, I thought that was all silliness until I actually bought the thing and made this cocktail. This is like drinking flowers. And no, I am not drunk or high. Seriously. Flowers. And right now, that's pretty darn awesome in my book. #workhaseatenmylife
