The Last Word Recipe
Email
This Prohibition-era cocktail is equal parts herbaceous Chartreuse, gin, sweet maraschino liqueur, and sour lime juice. It’s complex, balanced, and totally satisfying.
What to buy: Maraschino liqueur is a relatively dry liqueur with a subtle bitter-almond flavor; it can be found at any well-stocked liquor store.
INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 ounce gin
- 3/4 ounce green Chartreuse
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
- Ice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place a cocktail glass in the freezer to chill.
- Place the gin, Chartreuse, lime juice, and maraschino liqueur in a cocktail shaker and fill it halfway with ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Strain into the chilled glass.
yep it totally dominates. I dislike it its almost like a weird margarita.
I've only had one "Last Word", but for me, the lime juice really overpowered the other flavors. Has anyone else felt this way? With my next "Last Word", I might decrease the amount of lime juice.
We didn't have maraschino so we used amaretto instead.
