Very difficult, not in the preparation, but in the taste. It feels like making a zombie last word. Oude+luxardo+lavender are quite something but then is an aviator inside a Last Word (Howard Hughes maybe?) worthy of explore in another concoction. The tequila+mexcal was strange I didn¡t get the whys. Nor I can really taste it -maybe because where I live Tequila and Mezcal are drink daily at any hour the same as with salsas and chiles 'no los siento' -I don't feel it - anymore .

Normally I tend to keep it simple, but this cocktail is worth an exception ;-)).

Great riff on the Last Word. Had to make another (×1.5). Added all the ingredients to the shaker except the lime juice as I needed to squeeze some more which I put in the fridge and omitted adding to the shaker. Needless to say the end results were way too sweet and out of balance so I added the missing lime juice and once again an excellent sour cocktail.
