Green Chartreuse and Pear Brandy Cocktail Recipe

December 9, 2014

Last Updated on March 21, 2023

Welcome back to Day 2 of the Wildwood Speakeasy New Year’s Eve party! How did you guys do on that Vintage Floral Inspired Centerpiece Laura from Avery Street Design created? It was seriously breathtaking! I can’t wait to make one of my own. So lovely and whimsical. Tomorrow Grace from The Big Reveal is up, but first, I’m going to show you how to make a little signature cocktail for this shindig. Here is a Green Chartreuse and Pear Brandy cocktail recipe.

Green Chartreuse Cocktail Recipe

On January 16, 1920, the 18th Amendment passed. Otherwise known as Prohibition. Did they think people would stop drinking? BAHAHAHA…ya, no. Potions were mixed, combining spirits, juices, syrups, and a couple of dashes of this or that. People found innovative ways to consume alcohol, and speakeasies started popping up everywhere. Secret places, from basements to abandoned buildings, had back entrances, secret passwords, special knocks, and membership cards. Booze was limited, and bartenders created cocktail recipes that have stood the test of time. Clearly, they took their potions seriously.

One of my favorite speakeasy bars in Chicago, The Violet Hour, has a drink called Poor Liza. A masterpiece cocktail recipe created by Toby Maloney and a personal favorite poison of mine. But buyer beware, it packs a punch, hence the smaller portion. This perfect elixir has an old-school feel with a modern twist. A cocktail to share over stories with friends, laughing and clinking glasses. A specialty drink that will make your Wildwood Speakeasy New Year’s Eve theme party one for the books.

Green Chartreuse and Pear Brandy Cocktail Ingredients

YIELDS 1 COCKTAIL

2 oz Spirit Of Pear, Pear Brandy
1/2 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Lemon Juice (I use fresh squeezed)
1/4 oz Simple Syrup
3 Dashes Peychaud’s Bitters

Shake and strain. I prefer mine over ice.

To make the simple syrup, you will need 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup water. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Cool and keep refrigerated in a glass jar for one month.

Shake Up More Delicious and Unique Cocktail Recipes

Another summertime favorite is the lime in the coconut cocktail. This recipe is from Fleetwoods in Maui.

If you want a unique boozy beverage, try this orange juice and sparkling sake cocktail.

My Lemon Cherry Bar Recipe is light, citrusy, and refreshing. Try it for your next party.

If you’re looking for a botanical twist on the Moscow Mule definitely take a peek at this boozy beverage – The Wild Indie Mule.

Wisconsin’s favorite cocktail is the Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet, and guess what? I’m a former Wisconsin bartender who can shake up a mean one.

This champagne smash cocktail recipe should not be saved for NYE only. It’s completely refreshing during the summer months!

While visiting Paris, we stayed at Maison Souquet, and their signature cocktail was my drink of choice. Make this delicious Passion Fruit and Lillet Blanc cocktail.

My weakness is Vintage Barware and a Modern Bar Cart. Check out these top picks.
