I'd rather just add some rosemary to a Last Word. I miss the lime juice. (Mary Rose)

Flavorful, but too sweet and Chartreuse-forward. Cutting the simple by half and the Chartreuse by a 1/4 did allow the rosemary and gin to cut through more, resulting in more balance. At this point, however, citrus/acid may need to be added or the simple taken out altogether. (30 Jun 2023, 7:08a)

Seems to be missing a component. I like Gin and Chartreuse together but it is not complete. If I had to drink it again I would cut the sugar syrup in half or all together. (I shook the Rosemary with the ice and components and that was the best part of the drink)

Measures being reduced results in very small amounts in the glass! Think this one needs more work...

Sweet and boring. Oh, and 3 oz strong liquor makes 2 drinks.

I agree with the 3oz of liquor being too much so I have reduced all the measures in the recipe above by 25%. I've also amended the comment to highlight sweetness. [23.Aug.20]
