Verte Chaud, or “hot green,” is a traditional apres-ski drink in the French Alps and a fabulous version of spiked hot chocolate. Chocolate and Chartreuse are hardly a discovery. This mixture was well established long before the word cocktail became part of the language, though we don’t know if the idea came from one of the booze-making monks at the Grand Chartreuse. Either way, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and we highly recommend it.
