Absinthia Bottled Spirits

Carthusian Sazerac

The Carthusian Sazerac is a refined departure from the New Orleans classic. Rye whiskey provides a bold and spiced foundation, while Green Chartreuse lends its distinctive alpine herbal character in place of the traditional Peychaud's. An Absinthia Absinthe Barrel Aged-rinsed glass adds the hallmark anise depth that defines the Sazerac, with lemon bitters and a twist providing a clean, bright finish. Familiar in structure, yet entirely its own.
