Ep. 56: Vert Chaud Chocolat au Rhum - The French way to Apre Ski

Welcome to Season 4 episode 56 of The Art of Drinking with Join Jules and Your Favorite Uncle

Uncle Brad discovered a drink while skiing in the French Alps, Vert Chaud (or Hot Green) and Cocolat au Rhum (Chocolate with Rum). It turns out, Chocolate and Chartreuse were meant to be together, and they never knew it. And so is chocolate and rum BTW. We understand that Chartreuse is in short supply, but if you stick around for the tips we’ll give you alternatives that can get you close. The history on this one is anyone's guess, but Uncle Brad has a theory that he’ll unfold in the history section. This is going to be your new favorite warm up beverage after a cold day outside. Trust and believe!

This week’s tip: Substitutes for Chartreuse

But remember nothing beats the original;

Yellow Chartreuse specifically: Izarra Yellow Liqueur, flavor is close but slightly more sweet
Faccia Brutto: herbaceous and works i think pretty well as a sub
Veritable Genepy le chamois: flavor is more on the absinthe side but works as a sub
