GREEN—the inaugural release of Forthave’s latest expression from their Color line of botanical liqueurs—is a collaboration over two years in the making with Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, New York. Forthave drew inspiration from the herbal liqueurs produced by monastic orders and Alpine herbalists, and each of the botanicals found in GREEN were selected for their vibrancy and historical use in tonics and elixirs. GREEN is crafted not just for cocktails—though it makes a perfect substitute for Green Chartreuse in classics such as a Last Word—but also for easy enjoyment served neat, chilled, or over ice with soda or tonic water.
