Cute, and I always complaining -in this case- why is not a daiquiri? But in this particular case is a Last Word. I only had at hand Matusalen Rum. And get confused and do it automatically with Marraschino+chartreuse, and in my confusion Dolin vermouth. So I bring it closer, but lovely. I know I am a bad person and should be closer to the recipes. I promise to be better. (Now I am closer and closer to finish my experiment of tasting all Last Words in the guide)

I am seeing several recipes where in the listing it shows light gold rum but when going into the recipes they call for light rum like Havana Club

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 9w

That's because I consider Havana Club 3yo a light gold rum.

Nathalie O Flynn Premium Member 9w

Ohh OK so should I not use a standard gold rum Angostura style or the likes ?

A nice cocktail, as said easy to sip. Rum and Chartreuse is a new combination for me which works very well. But only because green Chartreuse is used and it has a cherry garnish it is IMHO no real Last Wort riff.

Pleasant but unremarkable

Kevin Haynes Premium Member 32w

A definitely different riff on the Last Word. All the botanical comes from the chartreuse alone with rum replacing the gin, but that's not a bad thing. It lets the chartreuse shine on its own. The sweetened lemon is a little milder than the lime and maraschino and sits nicely with the rest of the drink.

A notch below the Last Word, but for me that just means I'm giving it 5 vs 5+ stars!

Light and fresh. Very easy to sip. The Chartreuse gives a gentle herbal undertone to what would otherwise be a simple daiquiri. Not complex, but very enjoyable.
