had this on the first true spring day we've had this year and it was excellent. i prefer a last word but this is a lighter, more floral take that is still quite tasty.

It's like a more approachable, spring Last Word. It lacks in complexity compared to the classic but makes up for it by pushing the floral notes in Chartreuse and gin up to 11.

Had to substitute the green Chartreuse with Italicus, and it works a treat.

I'll be sure to try. Thanks for sharing, Paul. Gypsy Rosolio perhaps an appropriate name for your new cocktail.

…or maybe upping the camp factor by calling it a Gypsy Rose Lee? 😆

Cassandra Adams Premium Member 27w

We really enjoyed this, maybe even more than the original... Thank you!

Florian Ruf Premium Member 49w

Excellent cocktail, I strongly suggest to try also the Gypsy light.

This is GREAT!

Beautiful, especially with the Green Chartreuse, although added 7.5ml simple syrup (as the other half likes 'slightly' sweeter cocktails).

Perfectly balanced cocktail. 5+ stars.

Absolutly flawless! Not as in your face as The Last Word (which I love) indeed elderflower makes this work. Chartreuse Verte's subtle presence can not be overlooked; it's just enough. S××t if everybody made these instead of the last word, we probably wouldn't have a chartreuse shortage!
