The Cloister originated in 1971 where it was first featured in the Playboy Bartender’s Guide. Gin is combined with Yellow Chartreuse, a honeyed herbal liqueur, and a flavorful combination of citrus. Jim Meehan adapted the recipe and included it in his PDT Cocktail Book in 2011.
Its monastic name is a nod to its inclusion of Yellow Chartreuse, the complex herbal liqueur produced by the Carthusian monks of southeastern France.
