Origin
Country of Origin: France （1605年〜）
The origin of Chartreuse Orange traces back to the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps. In 1605, monks received a mysterious manuscript from a person serving the French king, containing recipes for over 130 herbs and plants. The 'Elixir Végétal' completed in 1764 became the prototype of today's Chartreuse, and the arrangement of mixing this herbal liqueur with orange juice was created to make it more approachable.
