Closing Argument

Wonderful. Used quite a mild Mezcal ( verde amaras) and it balanced with the chartreuse beautifully. Great Last Word variation. By the way, the customer service at the Diffords Shop is amazing. 100% recommend.

I just ran out of green so I subbed yellow chartreuse. Throughly enjoyable and still finely balanced. Can’t wait to see how the green adds to the party

Amazing. I came here after the 'The Bird is the Word 1' and even when both are Tequila, the bird is not a Last Word, and this, is THE thing. I noticed in other explorations that Luxardo is bitter at the end, and makes the mezcal more rounded. US mezcal is softer, the same than chiles and salsas -sauces- very spicy for mexicans, very mellow for us citizens. The mezcal and the tequila for american market is oddly sweet and even vanilla taste -literal. For this I went for a mexican mezcal 'Amaras'. I really like Vida Maguey -US- but sometimes I want the hard one.

Excellent drink and one where your choice of mezcal greatly influences the final product. I used illegal joven, which is a bit light and citrus forward and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Illegal joven, Luxardo maraschino, green chartreuse.

Yes very good why not

Just tried this with Boomsma Cloosterbitter replacing the green Chartreuse; it's a worthy substitute allbeit a much lower a.b.v. End results excellent.

This seems to be the same as another cocktail which is also on Difford's, a drink called Last Of The Oaxacans. A good drink!

Excellent. And easy to remember recipe... Got 5 stars. Another Last Word variation that I really loved is the Yes Dear!, with pisco.

Good with tequila, too. Cayéya in my case.
