HOW TO DRINK IT Serve cold or over ice, to dilute its vegetal strength. It can be used as an ingredient in dessert creams. FOCUS In 1605, Duke Francois Hannibal D'estrès handed the Carthusian fathers of the Chartreuse de Vauvert in Paris a mysterious manuscript with the formula for an elixir of long life. After painstaking work by the fathers to decrypt the formula, it was Father Jerome Maubec, an apothecary at the Grande Chartreuse, who developed the recipe for the elixir. Almost immediately, the potential to transform the recipe's alcoholic remedy into a drink suitable for tasting was evident. After more than 400 years of history, the Carthusian fathers revived the first recipe, calling it ‘Liqueur d'Elixir’ to commemorate the delivery of the manuscript to the Carthusians of Vauvert in 1605.
